FAQ 11: Won’t it be difficult to select the correct SP-CRD model size?
Selecting the appropriate SP-CRD models does require a certain basic knowledge of the lines and equipment to be trapped. Early in SP-CRD’s development, SteamPro realized that the majority of plant and facilities engineers do not have the time to spend on sizing the steam traps. Our engineers also realized that in order for SP-CRD to […]

FAQ 9: How does SP-CRD vent air, CO2 and other non-condensable gases?
The continuous venting of air, CO2 and other contaminants is an important requirement of any steam trap. The key to performing this vital function is continuous and complete condensate removal. Unlike many steam traps that operate “intermittently”, SP-CRD’s continuous discharge allows for continuous air venting (even at low pressures). SP-CRD’s complete and immediate discharge also results […]

FAQ 8: Can SP-CRD be applied in a return system that is experiencing backpressure problems?
Yes. Consider the 150 psig distribution line outlined in FAQ #6, when nozzle #03 is used, the CRD is able to discharge condensate at a rate of 41lb/hr under the minimum ambient condition. At 150psig operating pressure, assuming the backpressure build up to as much as 80%, i.e. 120psig, the CRD is still able to effortlessly […]

FAQ 7: Will SP-CRD works on a vacuum return system?
SP-CRD is becoming a very popular replacement for steam traps on vacuum return for two reasons:
-
FAQ 6: How can SP-CRD be used on a distribution line when ambient conditions change?
SP-CRD units are in service on outside distribution lines all over the world. Here is an example of how SP-CRD would be applied on a distribution line that experiences dramatic changes in ambient conditions. A common outdoor distribution line may have the following characteristics: * 0 °F equals to -17.222°C, every 1°C = 33.8°F When […]

FAQ 5: Will SP-CRD plug up if my system is dirty?
Any type of steam trap can plug or hang up. SP-CRD minimizes the plugging problem in two ways: This continual discharge allows C02, air, and non-condensable gases to be passed continually (unlike “sub cooling” or “intermittent discharging” traps). The SP-CRD is designed to have ALL its internal components repairable and replaceable within 5-minutes. In the […]

FAQ 4: How can SP-CRD operate with applications such as heat exchangers and heating coils when condensate loads fluctuate?
Steam equipment which consumes large amounts of steam always requires some method of controlling the steam flow. One of the most common and energy efficient methods is the use of a pressure modulating steam control valve. Our applications experience has proven that SP-CRD will remove condensate quickly and completely with a very small amount of […]

FAQ 3: Do SteamPro Traps used in SteamPro Condensate Recovery System, ever get blockage?
If the conditions in a condensate system are not constant, SP-CRD can still effectively discharge condensate while inhibiting excessive steam loss. Let us consider a common example: SP-CRD Model-10 can discharge 288 lbs of condensate/hour at 15 psi. If this model will handle only 144 lbs. of condensate/hour (50% of capacity), the steam loss is […]
