Description
GESTRA Drain Module QuickEM & QuickEM Control | PN16 PN40 | DN 15–50
GESTRA QuickEM is a pre-assembled drain module to be used in installations for heat recovery. The drain module is suitable for discharging condensed water. The QuickEM assembly consists of two or three shut-off valves, one steam trap type BK…, MK… or UNA…, one sightglass, one wafer-type non-return valve RK… as well as pipes and all necessary flanges, flange gaskets and bolts. Counterflanges with bolts and gaskets are not part of the delivery.
The QuickEM Control is designed for electronic condensate monitoring. Instead of the sightglass the measuring electrode NRG 16… is installed as sensor for electronic condensate monitoring.
If the QuickEM Control assembly is fitted with steam traps type BK 45, MK 45 and UNA 4… the measuring electrode NRG 16… is installed directly in the steam trap.
If the QuickEM Control assembly is fitted with steam traps type BK 15, MK 25 una UNA 1… the measuring electrode NRG 16… is installed in a test chamber VKE.
QuickEM and QuickEM Control are available for horizontal or vertical installation. Note that QuickEM Control with trap type UNA… is only available for horizontal installation!
QuickEM and QuickEM Control are available with or without bypass line.
Function
QuickEM
Steam and condensate flows through the shut-off valve to the steam trap. The regulator in the steam trap discharges the condensate from the live steam system through the second shut-off valve into the condensate collecting sys- tem. The two shut-off valves can isolate the steam trap if the need arises (e. g. for mainenance work). The integrat- ed bypass line is designed for bypassing the steam trap if necessary.
QuickEM Control
Same function as QuickEM but the measuring electrode NRG 16… is used as sensor for electronic condensate mon- itoring. The steam traps are monitored for banking-up of condensate (waterlogging) and steam loss.
The two shut-off valves can isolate steam traps equipped with measuring electrode or with test chamber if the need arises (e. g. for mainenance work). The integrated bypass line is designed for bypassing the steam trap if necessary.
