Steam trap selection guide

In order to eliminate the steam in the system of condensed water, air and other non condensable gas, at the same time does not leak steam, using steam trap is essential.

There are currently no steam trap omnipotent, users should choose steam traps of different types according to the different situations of the steam. Steam traps should be installed to make the steam device and a system for realizing the optimum operation, while the hydrophobic valve itself should be reduced as much as possible maintenance. Therefore, with the good operation of steam equipment is an important factor to consider.

Select trap should pay attention to the following points:

For the steam space is large or frequent starting situation, must have the ability to fully eliminate air.

The device rated capacity, it should have the ability to rapidly discharge the condensed water.

The sensible heat needed by condensation water portion, a certain degree of water is necessary, at this time should be used below the drain valve drain saturation temperature.

On some occasions the need of continuous discharge of condensed water, some other occasions where need intermittent discharge, and water temperature is also important.

If there is water cone or corrosion may, is to use a special structure and materials.
