Important Notes Safety Note Use steam trap MK 45 A only for the discharge of condensate from steam lines. Installation must only be performed by qualified staff. Qualified staff are those persons who through adequate training in engineering, the use and application of equipment in accordance with regulations concerning steam systems, and first aid & accident prevention have achieved a recognised level of competence appropriate to the installation and commissioning of this device. Danger The steam trap is under pressure during operation. When loosening flanged connections or plugs, hot water and/or steam may escape. This presents the risk of severe burns to the whole body. Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the system is depressurized: isolate the trap from both upstream and downstream pressure. The trap becomes hot during operation. This presents the danger of severe burns to hands and arms. Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the system is cold. Sharp edges on internal parts present a danger of cuts to hands. Always wear industrial gloves for installation and maintenance work. 7
Explanatory Notes Scope of Supply MK 45 A 1 Steam trap MK 45 A 1 Installation manual Description Thermostatic steam trap with corrosion-resistant thermostatic capsule unaffected by waterhammer. Integral Y-type strainer and non-return valve. Asbestos-free cover gasket (graphite/crni). Installation in any position. The traps with standard capsule N discharge condensate with virtually no banking-up, the traps with special capsule U with an undercooling of approx. 30 K (degc). MK 45 A-1 with tandem seat (double sealing) Particularly suitable for low condensate flowrates. Optionally either with standard capsule 5 N 1 or undercooling capsule 5 U 1. MK 45 A-2 with single seat For larger condensate flowrates. Optionally either with standard capsule 5 N 2 or undercooling capsule 5 U 2. Function The MK 45 A is a steam trap with membrane regulator. The capsule of the regulator is filled with a liquid having an evaporation temperature which is just a few degrees below that of water. When cold condensate flows through the steam trap, the liquid filling is completely condensed due to the low ambient temperature. The pressure inside the capsule is lower than the surrounding pressure (service pressure), which means that the membrane contracts, pushing the valve disc in the opening position. As the condensate temperature rises, the liquid filling starts to evaporate. The pressure in the capsule rises, the membrane expands, moving the valve disc in the closed position. Automatic air-venting is provided both, during start-up and during normal operation. The correct functioning of the MK 45 A is unaffected by fluctuations in the inlet pressure or by back pressure.the MK 45 A can also be used as steam vent. 8

Installation MK 45 A The steam trap MK 45 A can be installed in any position. In the case of a horizontal installation, make sure that the cover is at the top. Flanged Traps 1. Take care of correct position of installation. 2. Take care of flow direction. The flow arrow is on the trap body. 3. Consider space required for opening trap. When the trap is installed a minimum space of 30 mm is required for removing cover C. 4. Remove plastic plugs. They are only used as transit protection. 5. Clean seating surfaces of both flanges. 6. Install steam trap. Screwed-Socket Traps 1. Take care of correct position of installation. 2. Take care of flow direction. The flow arrow is on the trap body. 3. Consider space required for opening trap. When the trap is installed a minimum space of 30 mm is required for removing the cover C. 4. Remove plastic plugs. They are only used as transit protection. 5. Clean threads of screwed sockets. 6. Install steam trap. Socket-Weld Traps 1. Take care of correct position of installation. 2. Take care of flow direction. The flow arrow is on the trap body. 3. Consider space required for opening trap. When the trap is installed a minimum space of 30 mm is required for removing the cover C. 4. Remove plastic plugs. They are only used as transit protection. 5. Clean thermostatic capsule as described under Maintenance. 6. Clean socket-weld ends. 7. Arc-weld trap only manually (welding process 111 and 141 in accordance with DIN EN 24063). 10
Installation continued Attention Only qualified welders certified e. g. according to DIN EN 287 may weld the steam trap into pressurized lines. Do not insulate steam trap. Heat treatment of welds A subsequent heat treatment of the welds is not required. 11
1. Take heed of the note Danger on page 7. 2. Undo body screws A. Remove cover C from the body I. 3. Remove and clean capsule E. Unscrew nozzle insert F. 4. Replace capsule E in case of visible signs of wear or damage. 5. Clean body, internals and all gasket surfaces. 6. Apply heat-resistant lubricant to all threads and the seating surface of the nozzle insert and the cover (use for instance WINIX 2150). 7. Screw in nozzle insert and tighten with a torque of 90 Nm. 8. Position capsule E onto the nozzle insert F and press evenly, such that the capsule snaps into place. 9. Replace gasket H only if there are visual signs of damage. Use the same cover C. Always replace gasket H when using a new cover C or the cover of another steam trap. 10. Put cover onto the body. Tighten hexagon-head screws A alternately and in several steps to a torque of 25 Nm. 1. Take heed of note Danger on page 7. 2. Unscrew sealing plug L and remove strainer J. 3. Clean strainer, sealing plug and gasket seats. 4. Exchange strainer and sealing plug in case of visible signs of wear or damage. 5. Exchange gasket K if damaged. 6. Apply heat-resistant lubricant to the thread of the sealing plug (use for instance WINIX 2150). 7. Replace gasket K and strainer J and tighten sealing plug L with a torque of 120 Nm. 12 Maintenance GESTRA steam traps type MK 45 A do not require any special maintenance. However, if used in new installations which have not been rinsed it may be necessary to check and clean the trap. Check steam trap You can check the steam trap MK 45 A for steam loss during operation using the ultrasonic measuring unit VAPOPHONE or the test unit TRAPtest. The reference points are at the name plate on the cover, Fig. 4, Fig. 5. Should you detect any loss of live steam clean the trap and/or replace the control unit.
