Description
Armstrong automatic differential condensate controllers (DC) are designed A
Steam Trapping and
point or in gravity drainage applications where increased velocity will aid in

Ordinary steam traps, unable to differentiate between flash steam and live
steam, close and impede drainage. Increased velocity with gravity drainage
will aid in drawing the condensate and air to the DC. This increased velocity is B
caused by an internal steam by-pass, controlled by a manual metering valve,
so the condensate controller will automatically vent the by-pass or
secondary steam. This is then directed to the condensate return line or
collected for use in other heat exchangers.

Description
Armstrong CD-40 and CD-60 Series controlled disc traps contain a replaceable
capsule, making it possible to renew a worn trap by simply replacing the capsule.
A heating chamber in the shell ensures consistent operation. This steam jacket
provides a relatively constant temperature in the control chamber regardless
of ambient conditions. Cycling rate is controlled and does not increase when
the trap is exposed to cold winds, rain or snow. CD-40 Series traps are also
available with optional integral .045 perforated stainless steel strainer screens.
CD-60 Series traps contain integral strainers with ratios of open area to inside
area of pipe that equal or exceed those of most separate “Y” type strainers.

TT Series Thermostatic Steam Traps

All Stainless Steel
Description
The balanced pressure bellows thermostatic steam trap has a sealed,
stainless-steel body that is lightweight, compact and highly resistant to
Steam Trapping and
corrosion. The cage, bellows, valve and seat are all assembled into a precisely
calibrated operating unit that ensures positive opening and closing action at
slightly below steam temperature. The unique, stainless-steel construction
is smaller and much lighter than comparable cast iron, brass or steel traps.
TTF-1 is available with straight-thru or right angle connections. TT-2000 with
the 360° universal stainless steel connector comes with either a standard
connector or the IS-2 connector with integral strainer.
NOTE: Also can be used as a thermostatic air vent (Reference TTF Series
Thermostatic Air Vents page AV-15).

• All stainless steel welded construction
• NPT connections
This balanced pressure air vent responds to the pressure-temperature curve
of steam, and the soft-seated vacuum breaker responds to 2" H2O of vacuum.
Armstrong thermostatic air vents should be installed at the highest point on a
steam chamber, with the air vent located above the chamber. This will minimize
the possibility of any liquid carryover, and air can be vented to atmosphere
without a drain line.

Internal Check Valves—1/2'' (15 mm) Thru 2'' (50 mm) NPT
Almost all Armstrong inverted bucket steam traps can be equipped with internal
check valves. A check valve is needed between the trap and the equipment
being drained in the following cases:
• When the trap is installed above the unit drained
• When sudden pressure drops may occur in the steam supply to the unit
• Whenever a back pressure exists in the condensate return line

On 1800 and 2000 Series stainless-steel traps, an internal check valve cannot

Dirt Problems
Whenever dirt plugs the bucket vent, Armstrong recommends the use of
a scrubbing wire which, on each cycle, keeps the bucket vent hole open.
NOTE: On small size stainless-steel (only) bucket traps, a wiggle wire is
installed as standard. 3/8''
In normal conditions, the inverted bucket trap is not sensitive to dirt problems
(because of its orifice at the top of the trap), unlike most other traps, which
should be installed normally with a strainer (see Armstrong “Y” Type Strainers

Probe Connections are available for trap monitoring on most inverted bucket
traps. Consult your Armstrong Factory Representative.

Besides 2000 Series stainless steel inverted bucket traps, the standard

Goes the Distance

The transmitter sends a radio frequency signal indicating the status Typical Plant Layout
of the steam trap back to the receiver. If the transmitter is out of
range of the receiver, one or more repeaters send the signal back
to the receiver. The receiver is connected to the communications 1/4 Mile
port of a personal computer running the SteamEye monitoring
program. Information regarding a steam trap’s operating condition
(OK, blow-thru or cold) can be viewed with this program. The data
can then be downloaded into the optional APM Super+ program
for additional reporting capabilities.
What is the typical range of the RF signal? In applications where

the transmitter is located within the line of sight of the receiver,
the range is approximately 400 yards. In facilities where the signal
must travel through walls or floors, the range varies. The typical
Devices
1/4 Mile
range of the signal is approximately 100 yards. If the receiver is

out of the range of a transmitter, devices called repeaters can be
placed between the transmitter and the receiver to “repeat” the
signal from one device to the next. A transmitter signal can pass
through up to seven repeaters. Since it is difficult to know the
range of a transmitter in a facility, conduct a radio frequency signal
strength survey to determine if repeaters should be used and how
many will be required.
Let’s face it: At any given time a percentage of your traps have failed
and you just don’t have the manpower to check them frequently.
Besides, the trap you check on Tuesday afternoon may fail Wednesday
morning—and not be scheduled for a recheck for months, even years.
You just have to put up with a certain percentage of failure, right?

trap will not report any faults such as a cold trap. If steam is flowing
(pressure) and the trap goes into a blow-thru or cold condition, an
alarm signal will be transmitted. RFC3300

The RFM3000 would be used on modulated pressure applications
such as heat exchangers and air coils.
With Software, Your Traps Will Tell You How They’re Doing
As we have seen, the SteamEye software is your window
into the inner workings of your steam trap population. You can ®
also use the SteamEye software in conjunction with the optional
APM Super+*. This program allows you to export and import the
data gathered by the SteamEye software and generate a variety of
reports. As a result, you can build a remarkably versatile database
of trap operating history.
The SteamEye software allows you to identify traps as critical or

non-critical, as shown in Screens TM-1 and TM-2. Note the tabbed
screens across the top and the System Status profile on the left
side of Screen TM-1. Screen TM-2 summarizes faults on non-critical
traps. Screen TM-3 gives you a good idea of the level of detail
available through the SteamEye software. Each trap is identified by
its transmitter number, and you have visible data on the date and
time of the last communication, the trap condition as well as the
status of the signal and battery, and the trap location.

Mobile Receiver
In locations where a dedicated personal computer is not practical,
a mobile receiver can be used to monitor the SteamEye ® transmitters.
The unit can be powered by 110 volts AC or a battery. Battery powered,
the unit can monitor for 12 hours on a single charge and be carried from
place to place while monitoring the SteamEye transmitters. Plugged
into 110 volts AC, the unit will recharge the battery (if a battery is
used) and/or monitor the SteamEye transmitters indefinitely.
Data on up to 400 SteamEye transmitters can be loaded onto the

mobile receiver’s integral computer. When placed in an area to
monitor SteamEye transmitters, the unit can show real-time steam
trap conditions. Using the software and cable provided, a snapshot
of the steam trap condition data can be loaded onto a personal
computer for viewing and reporting purposes. Instant notification
Devices
of a trap failure can be achieved by wiring an alarm to an internal

contactor on the unit.

is desired, the SteamEye system can meet these needs. The DOWN
SteamEye receiver connected to a BAS interface controller

collects information from SteamEye transmitters. The BAS interface
controller stores the information until queried by a BAS. The BAS
