Introduction Of Steam Trap

The trap plays a role of steam resistance and drainage in the steam heating system. Choosing the appropriate trap can make the steam heating equipment achieve the highest working efficiency. In order to achieve the best results, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the performance and characteristics of various types of traps.

The steam trap must be able to "identify" steam and condensate in order to play the role of steam resistance and drainage. "Identifying" steam and condensate water is based on three principles: density difference, temperature difference and phase change. So three types of traps are made according to three principles: mechanical type, thermostatic type and thermodynamic type.
