The Spirax Sarco compact, direct-acting pressure reducing valve is specifically crafted for applications involving steam, compressed air, and various gases. It's particularly well-suited for light-duty, uncomplicated OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) applications where extremely precise control is not a primary requirement. The standard model is the BRV2S, featuring a stainless steel control bellows. Its compact design renders it ideal for point-of-use installations, ensuring precise pressure regulation under stable load conditions. This valve provides a cost-effective alternative to more intricate valve options. Typical applications for the BRV2 Series encompass small-scale steam or gas pressure reduction tasks.
The SRV2S represents an all-stainless steel variant of the BRV2S—a compact, direct-acting pressure-reducing valve engineered for applications involving steam, compressed air, and various gases. Its compact design renders it an excellent choice for OEM installations and point-of-use setups, ensuring precise pressure regulation under stable load conditions. This valve provides a cost-effective substitute for more intricate pilot- or piston-operated valves, particularly in clean steam service applications. Typical uses for the SRV2S encompass sterilizers, autoclaves, humidifiers, culinary steam supply systems, and other equipment requiring controlled pressure reduction for operation.
The LRV2 is a direct-acting pressure-reducing valve designed for use with liquids. Its compact design makes it particularly well-suited for point-of-use applications. The pressure-balanced head incorporated in the standard LRV2S model, featuring a stainless steel control bellows, ensures precise and consistent pressure control under varying load conditions.
- Core product groups include steam traps, condensate & heat recovery systems, and a wide range of steam system components and controls (valves/controls depending on market and application).
- A steam trap is an automatic valve that removes condensate (hot water), air, and other non-condensable gases from a steam system while minimizing live steam loss. It’s important because it keeps heat transfer efficient, prevents condensate buildup and water hammer, reduces corrosion/air binding, enables condensate return, and saves energy, failed traps can waste steam (fail open) or flood equipment and cause downtime (fail closed).
- Spirax Sarco supports multiple trap technologies, including thermostatic, thermodynamic, and mechanical styles.
- F&T traps are commonly used where you want efficient performance on both light and heavy condensate loads, with air venting during start-up.
- Thermostatic traps operate based on steam/condensate temperature, and Spirax Sarco covers balanced-pressure, bimetallic, and liquid expansion variants.
- Thermodynamic traps use a principle involving water and flash steam, and are known for being simple, robust, and able to operate at high temperatures and pressures.
- identify use (process equipment, tracing, or steam main/drip), operating steam pressure & temperature, startup air venting needs, expected condensate load (light/heavy/variable), and backpressure/return method (gravity vs pumped). Then select the trap type that fits, F&T for variable process loads, thermostatic for strong air venting/startup, thermodynamic (disc) for steam mains/drip service, confirm connection size/materials and capacity at operating pressure.
