The Challenge - The United States Navy

 

In 1947 the United States Navy approached Velan Engineering with a challenge.  The Navy wanted a new steam trap designed to do the following things:

  1. Work on high pressure – high temperature applications.
  2. Waste no steam.
  3. Operate quietly with no blast discharge.
  4. Last longer than anything else in the marketplace.

 

The Navy also had two other conditions:

  1. All valve seats must be stellite #6.
  2. Be unaffected by waterhammer.

 

This was the challenge.  Velan Engineering created a product for the United States Navy that has been unmatched in durability, reliability and efficiency to this day.
