BPC32 / BPC32Y Carbon Steel Balanced Pressure Thermostatic Steam
Thermostatic condensate trap based on the pressure balance principle with in-line connections. The BPC32 has a built-in flat strainer, and the BPC32Y has an attached Y-filter. All pressure-containing components are manufactured by TÜV-approved suppliers in accordance with AD-Merkblatt WO/TRD100.
Both types are resistant to water hammer and are available in the following versions:
- Standard version BPC32 and BPC32Y with 'STD' element
- On request, BPC32CV and BPC32YCV with 'STD' element and check valve are also available
Operation:
Standard capsule marked with 'STD' for operation at an average of 12C below the saturated steam temperature.
Optional:
The element can also be supplied for strongly subcooled operation 'SUB' at about 24C below the saturated steam temperature or close to the steam temperature 'NTS' for operation at about 6C below the saturated steam temperature.
Standards:
This product fully complies with the European Directive on Pressure Equipment (PED).
Certificate:
If mentioned in the order, it can be supplied with a material certificate according to EN 10204 3.1.

The BPC32 and BPC32Y condensate traps are suitable for installation in any position, horizontally or vertically. When discharging into a pressurized condensate line, it is advisable to install a check valve. When discharging to the atmosphere, a silencer is generally installed after the condensate trap. For easy maintenance, consider installing valves before and after the condensate trap.
