Valvesonly is a trusted Ball Float Steam Trap Manufacturer in USA, offering an extensive range of steam traps in various materials. A Ball Float Steam Trap is a type of steam trap used in steam systems to remove condensate (liquid water) and non-condensable gases from the steam lines. It operates based on the principle of buoyancy, using a hollow metal ball as the float mechanism. The steam trap is installed in the steam line, typically at low points or at the end of steam mains, where condensate tends to accumulate. As condensate and non-condensable gases enter the steam trap, the float rises, allowing the condensate to be discharged through an outlet port while retaining the steam within the system.

The operation of a Ball Float Steam Trap is relatively simple and reliable. As condensate accumulates in the trap, the float rises, opening a valve mechanism that allows the condensate to be discharged. Once the condensate level drops, the float lowers, closing the valve and preventing the loss of steam. This ensures efficient removal of condensate from the steam system while minimizing steam loss, thus maintaining optimal system performance and energy efficiency. Ball Float Steam Traps are commonly used in various industries where the efficient removal of condensate is essential for the proper operation of steam equipment.
