Steam Traps

Steam traps are crucial components in steam systems, designed to remove condensate, air, and non-condensable gases without letting steam escape. They play a critical role in maintaining the efficiency and safety of steam-powered systems, typically employed in industrial settings across the UK. By automatically discharging condensate, steam traps ensure optimal steam usage, prevent water hammer, and reduce energy losses. They are integral in sectors where steam is used for heating, sterilisation, and power generation. Their efficient operation helps in reducing fuel costs and enhancing the overall performance of steam systems.

Main Functions of Steam Traps

• Steam traps operate by sensing differences in temperature, density, or velocity between steam and condensate. They open to discharge condensate when detected and close to retain steam, preventing unnecessary loss.

Available Types of Steam Traps

• Thermodynamic Traps: Use pressure changes to open and close.
• Mechanical Traps: Utilise floats or buckets to distinguish between steam and condensate.
• Thermostatic Traps: Rely on temperature changes to function.
