Steam traps
The steam trap is float — and the steam system works without failures
Each well-planned steam system should work smoothly, providing the right level of both temperature and pressure. But still, steam is an extremely unstable substance. Any change in temperature inevitably affects its quality.
Types of float steam traps
When developing a system that uses steam in one way or another, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the appearance of condensate is inevitable. The cooled steam turns into water droplets flowing down the walls of the pipes.
Which leads to the most unpleasant consequences for the system:
- reduced system efficiency as such due to temperature loss
- decrease in the quality of steam and its saturation. The appearance of condensate inevitably leads to the fact that steam circulates less and less in the system, it is necessary to constantly maintain the saturation level required by technical conditions.
- water hammer. This is the most unpleasant moment, since hydraulic shocks reduce the service life of the equipment and lead to frequent breakdowns.
In order to avoid all the consequences of condensate formation in the system, it is necessary to provide for the presence of condensate traps in it. They will help to get rid of the water accumulating in the steam system, separating it from steam.
Float steam trap is used in various fields of industrial production: metallurgy, energy, chemical industry. This type of reinforcement is also used in the food industry.
There are several types of steam traps
| Mechanical or float steam traps | They function using the difference in density of condensate and steam. They can be with a closed, open or spherical float |
| Thermostatic | When working, the temperature difference between steam and condensate is used. They can be capsule, bimetallic or bellows |
| Combined | They operate using both the temperature difference and the pressure difference between steam and condensate |
The most common is a float steam trap. It is reliable and trouble-free. This type of reinforcement is usually installed in most systems using steam. When the float condensate trap is installed correctly, problems with condensation accumulation can be avoided.
The Salutech company guarantees the quality
When buying a float steam trap, it is necessary to pay attention to which company manufactured the product. Any system is effective to the extent that its constituent elements are reliable and workable. Therefore, when buying, it is better to pay attention to the products of companies that have proven themselves well in the market.
Our website presents products from companies that have long been known to consumers.
