Deaerator Trays
Ecodyne high efficiency stainless steel trays are manufactured in a single forming and are of extremely rugged construction.
They utilize a unique lock-together assembly feature and are easy to install. In addition, there are no welds or rivets to fail in these trays. Tray stacks within the tray compartment are interlocked via integral snap clips. Each stack is held securely in place by three separate systems.
The first, a J-bolt firmly fastens the bottom tray to the grating floor of the tray compartment. The second system, a trough hold down (distributing trough), compresses from the top tray down. The third system, a hold down bar assembly, pins the top hold down trough to the underside of the bottom tray grating floor where it is bolted in place. The entire system together prevents any trays from becoming dislodged as a result of any operation upset. Our experience with this hold down design has been very favorable and reliable.
The multi-weir design provides a longer weir edge per unit volume and assures more complete deaeration at all loadings.
Our standard tray material is 430 stainless steel, as is the standard material in the industry. Our trays are non-welded assemblies and are stamped from a single piece of 430 stainless steel. The feritic stainless steel is stronger, more rigid and is better suited for stamping than an austenitic stainless steel such as 316. As well, the 430 s.s. is a superior material in withstanding chloride induced stress corrosion cracking.
Maximum efficiency is assured by our exclusive designs.
