Thermostatic Steam Trap

Thermostatic steam traps are commonly used in steam heating systems to prevent steam from escaping through vents and also in process piping systems to prevent heat or pressure loss. They operate by using a temperature-sensitive element, such as a bimetallic strip or wax pellet, which opens or closes a valve in response to temperature changes. When the temperature in the pipe system rises above a certain level, the thermostatic element expands, opening the valve to allow steam or other gases to escape. When the temperature falls below this level, the element contracts and the valve closes, preventing air or gas flow. They are an important component of many piping systems because they help maintain system efficiency and prevent energy loss. Additionally, they are used to protect equipment and reduce the risk of accidents or injuries caused by the release of steam or other gases.

Applications of Thermostatic Steam Trap

Thermostatic steam traps are suitable for use when it is desired to utilize the heat of condensate under certain conditions. They are used in irons, tracing lines, pressing units, drying units, steam-jacketed pipes, and steam systems. Thermostatic steam traps remove condensate by utilizing the temperature difference between steam and liquid phases. The trap operates through the expansion and contraction of an element exposed to heat from steam or condensate. These traps take a temperature drop below the saturation curve to open and discharge condensate. The traps can be equipped with filled elements, bellows, or bimetallic elements. They are ideal in cases where heat from condensate is intended to be used, as well as air venting applications in steam systems.
