ARI-Armaturen launches all-in-one steam trap system
18 Jul 2008
Tewkesbury, UK - Process valves manufacturer ARI-Armaturen has launched a steam trap technology that reduces the number of pipe connections required by 80%. The CONA ‘All-in-One’ is a compact multi-valve system for industrial applications such as main line draining, steam distributing and tracing systems, as well as the process industry.
According to ARI, the system integrates a steam trap, isolation valves, strainer, check valve and blowdown valve into one product. This, it said, saves time and money compared to conventional steam trap stations with various individual components and connections that can lead to leaking and a high financial outlay for assembly and installation.
“This new product offers our customers a complete solution in one, compact system,” said Tony Harrison, operations manager at ARI-Armaturen. “A reduction in pipe connections and fittings from as many as twelve to just two, means that the system is significantly more efficient than a traditional steam trap station, and with a high discharge capacity the product is very powerful.”
The multi-valve system performs a number of functions such as isolation, safety, control and steam trapping and is easy to install and maintain. The integrated system takes up less space than a traditional steam trap solution, and with ARI’s established and reliable steam trap and valve technology the CONA ‘All-in-One’ provides exceptional performance.
