A steam trap is one of the most important devices used in steam systems with the automation of condensate and air removal and elimination of non-condensable gasses in steam traps, not losing live steam. The steam trap enables sound operation of a steam system wherein condensate can seep out of the system without letting live steam seep into it; its working is on the basis of differences in density between steam and condensate. For example, in a float steam trap, the accumulation of condensate raises a float that in turn raises a valve on the outside to release the condensate but retain the steam inside. 

The thermostatic steam trap uses the factor of temperature when a temperature-sensitive element expands with steam heating and closes the valve, while the effect of cooling by condensate makes it contract so that it opens and lets out the condensate. Pressure-operated traps work on the same principles but with the difference of pressure to sustain valve positions. The overall purpose of steam traps is therefore to ensure optimized performance in steam systems, saving energy, and keeping problems such as water hammering at bay with the right drainage of water and retention of steam.

What is a steam trap used to remove?

A steam trap removes condensate, air, and other non-condensable gasses from steam systems. Condensate is the liquid formed during the cooling and condensing of steam; it is detrimental to the system up to the extent of frequently occurring problems such as water hammer if it is not drained appropriately. Moreover, steam traps very effectively remove air and other non-condensable gasses interfering in the steam flow and performance of the system. Steam traps automate the removal of those substances. This aids in the maintenance of steam systems at optimal levels and promotes energy efficiency, applied to prevent potential damage, thus ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of the industrial processes that use steam.

Advantages of steam trap: 

Steam traps offer several benefits, improving the efficiency and reliability of steam systems. First, among its positive qualities is that it can automatically eliminate condensate, air, and non condensable gasses. Because it does this automatically, maintaining proper steam flow and preventing water buildup which causes water hammer and even damages equipment, is easy. Besides, steam traps tend to ensure that the live steam is not wasted, which would greatly reduce fuel consumption and operating costs. 

They also contribute towards constant control of temperatures in different processes run on steam in a way that ensures efficient heat transfer. Furthermore, steam traps enhance system reliability in the sense that they prevent leakage of steam that easily causes pressure drops and inefficiencies. Overall, the application of steam traps in steam systems leads to a maximum performance of such systems and contributes to a longer lifespan and safety of appliances in a general setup.
