TK-1A Bi-Metallic Steam Trap
TK-1A Bimetallic Traps is operated by metal strips made of alloys with that are bonded together. At start-up, the trap is cold and the bimetallic element is relaxed. The valve is wide open. When steam enters the trap, it surrounds and heats the strips, which begin to expand directly on the valve stem, closing the valve against the pressure trap, the strips begin to cool. When relaxes and opens the valve.
