Steam Trap

Steam Trap

CAPACITY: 50 Kg/Hr +
Overview

An automatic valve distinguishing steam from condensate. Recovers 20-30% of total heat by returning pure condensate to the boiler, reducing TDS and blowdown.

CORE TYPES:
1. Ball Float | Thermodynamic
2. Thermostatic | Inverted Bucket

Advantages
Efficiency & Fuel Savings

Maximizes heat efficiency; prevents live steam loss.

Robust Stainless Design

Simple rotary valve; no whirlpool effect or leakage.

Process Stability

Independent of P/T fluctuations; works at 95% back-pressure.

System Protection

Prevents water hammer & corrosion in steam piping.

Working Principle
1
Sensory Detection

Senses buildup via density, temperature, or velocity differences as steam gives up heat.

2
Proportional Discharge

Valve opens/closes proportionately to the liquid level for impact-free, silent condensate removal.

3
Thermal Lock

Once live steam reaches the trap, it shuts immediately to keep energy within the process.

Disadvantages
Periodic Inspection

Requires regular checks to prevent failure in the "open" or "closed" positions.

Clogging Risk

Prone to clogging if the system has HIGH LEVELS OF RUST OR SCALE.
