What is a Steam Trap?<\/h1>\n

The steam created will condensate back into the water during the heating process after releasing its energy. To maximise the heat energy transfer and ensure the system’s safety, the water (condensates) must be removed. Removing condensates without any loss of live steam is the prime function of steam traps. Additionally, steam traps also discharge air that is present in the system before the system start-up to ensure a safer process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As mentioned, the steam created within the boiler will condense into the water and clog the pipelines. Thus causing a large amount of heat loss within the system. Therefore, the purpose of a steam trap is to allow condensate and air to be discharged from the steam system while preventing the loss of live steam. This type of valve opens when condensate and air are present and closes when steam tries to pass. Hence ‘trapping’ the moisture!

What are the uses of Steam traps?<\/h3>\n

There are two general types of applications for steam traps: drip Application and Process Application.<\/p>\n
