Spensa TD16 Thermodynamic Steam Trap

**Spirax Sarco TD16 Thermodynamic Steam Trap** Installation and Maintenance Guide for Spirax Sarco TD16 and TD16F Thermodynamic Steam Traps Introduction The TD16 thermodynamic steam trap is specially designed for draining steam mains and tracing line equipment. However, it can also be used for other equipment within its temperature, pressure, and discharge range. Limiting Conditions (ISO 6552) - Maximum Valve Body Design Conditions - PMO: Maximum Operating Pressure 16 barg - TMO: Maximum Operating Temperature 300°C - PMA: Maximum Allowable Pressure 25 barg - Maximum Allowable Temperature 300°C - Note: Minimum Operating Pressure is 0.2 barg - PMOB: Maximum Operating Back Pressure is 80% of upstream pressure. Size and Pipeline Connection - TD16: 1/2", 3/4", 1" threaded connection BSP or NPT - TD16F: DN15, DN20, DN25 flange connection PN16 Installation It is preferable to install the trap horizontally, but it can also be installed in other positions. When the steam trap is exposed to low temperatures or heavy rain, an insulation cover should be installed. Maintenance Before performing maintenance, the steam pipes before and after the steam trap must be cut off, and the pressure must be reduced to atmospheric pressure. Wait for the steam trap to cool down before carrying out maintenance. Spare Parts The practical section is available for spare parts, while the dotted line section is not provided as spare parts. Ordering Use the above table to describe the ordering of spare parts and specify sizes, for example: 1 - Filter and gasket for 1/2” **Spirax Sarco TD16 Thermodynamic Steam Trap**. Service Remove the isolation cover (if installed), and use a suitable wrench or socket to loosen the top cover. Note: Do not use pipe wrenches or similar tools, as they can distort the top cover. If the disc and seat surfaces show only slight wear, they can be ground flat on a surface plate. If the wear is excessive and cannot be corrected by simple grinding, the seat surface must be resurfaced, and the disc must be replaced. The thickness removed by this method will exceed 0.25 mm. During reassembly, ensure the disc groove surface contacts the seat. Tighten the top cover to the recommended torque. No gasket is required, but a suitable high-temperature anti-seizing grease should be applied to the threads. Cleaning or Replacing the Filter Unscrew the filter cap with a wrench or socket, remove the filter mesh and clean it; replace it if damaged. When reinstalling, apply some lubricant to the initial threads of the filter cap. Ensure the gasket and sealing surfaces are clean. Tighten to the recommended torque.
