Steam trap KA 2
Discharge of condensate for drainage of a charge-air cooler

A large Diesel engine is equipped with a charge-air cooler that reduces the temperature of the compressed air being supplied to the engine. With the temperature dropping the density of the charge air is further increased. This will enhance the output and the efficiency of the Diesel engine. The Mankenberg steam trap KA 2 is used for draining the charge-air cooler.

KA 2

When the compressed air is cooled down, a varying quantity of condensate is generated that will be safely drained via the steam trap. The float-controlled KA 2 has an especially tight soft seal and prevents the intrusion of water into the engine cylinder which would lead to unwanted pressure peaks.
