Application
The BK 29 is designed for high pressure drip applications
including steam main drip, turbine protection drain, etc.
Excellent for superheated steam drip applications.
Features and Benefits
Forged alloy steel body with Titanium body shield to resist
flashing damage.
Titanium alloy valve and seat.
Pressure assisted fail open-only design.
Standard factory setting discharges hot condensate in a
modulating fashion at approximately 18F (10C) below
saturation temperatures throughout its operating range.
One internal bimetallic regulator for all applicable body
pressure ranges.
Staged control valve-style nozzle reduces wiredrawing
damage by reducing flashing. Totally unaffected by water
hammer.
Self draining will not freeze when installed in gravity
drainage position. Can be installed in any position.
Automatically vents air and non-condensable gases and has
a very high (>7:1) cold water capacity for rapid start-up.
Operates with zero steam loss throughout its operating
range saving steam and money during the life of the trap.
Easy in-line inspection and maintenance no need to
remove the trap from the piping to clean or replace the
internals.
Valve and seat are a single, modular replacement part.
Internal stainless steel strainer.
Integral check valve design.
Two (2) year guarantee.

Capacity Charts
The charts show the maximum capacities for hot and cold
condensate. The capacities are a function of differential
pressure or the difference between inlet and outlet pres-
sures for the trap.
Curve 1 shows the maximum capacity when discharging
hot condensate that is 18F (10C) below steam satura-
tion temperature. For example, at a differential pressure
of 500 psi the maximum hot capacity is approximately
1,000 lb/hr.
Curve 2 shows the maximum capacity when discharging
cold condensate at a temperature of 68F (20C). For
example, at a differential pressure of 500 psi the maximum
cold capacity is approximately 7,000 lb/hr.
Temperature Discharge Options
Special factory adjustment of the regulator for increased
undercooling is available for open discharge applications
where sensible heat savings and flash steam suppression
are desirable. Additionally, the regulator can be adjusted for
hotter (less subcooling) discharge when required. Please
contact your local Flowserve Gestra representative for more
details.
Body Pressure/Temperature Ratings
The curve shows the maximum shell (body) pressure
and temperature rating. Operating differential pressure is
limited to 1,595 psi (110 bar).
Material/Test Certificates
Test certificates can be issued on request in accordance
with EN 10204 2.2 and -3.1B. Heat Codes from Body and
Cover are required.
Available End Connections
Flanges: ANSI 900/1500 (DIN PN)
Socket-weld, Butt weld
How to Order
Specify trap, end connection size and type.
For Example: BK 29 " Socketweld
If ANSI flanged ends required, specify either ANSI 900 RF
or ANSI 1500 RF.
