RECOMMENDED MATERIAL/COMPONENTS<br />

<strong>Steam</strong> trap(s) discharge piping should be Schedule 40 black steel.<br />

Pipe size should be the same as that of the separator trap(s) connection<br />

up to the first elbow. The pipe size must be increased one pipe<br />

size after the first elbow, and again after manifolding with additional<br />

units. It is preferable to have the trap return line installed so its entire<br />

run is kept below the feedwater receiver connection (to assist in wet<br />

layup). If this is not possible, then the line must be sloped downward<br />

toward the receiver at a rate of 1/8 inch per foot.<br />

Schedule 40 black iron (See Section IV), local agencies/codes may<br />

require heavier pipe.<br />

Schedule 40 black iron (See Section IV)<br />

Safety relief valves must discharge to atmosphere in a direction that<br />

will not cause harm to personnel or equipment. The discharge piping<br />

must not contain any valves or other obstruction that could in any way<br />

hinder the release of steam. A drip pan elbow with appropriate drains<br />

should be installed as shown in Figure 2-7.<br />

Installing a Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) on all installations is<br />

highly recommended by <strong>Clayton</strong> <strong>Industries</strong>. A BPR is required for all<br />

units sold with Auxiliary Pressure Control (APC), Master Lead-Lag,<br />

and automated startup controls. The BPR protects against drying-out<br />

and localized overheating of the heating coil during large steam pressure<br />

changes.<br />
