Steam is only needed in equipment for using and utilizing steam. In this equipment, condensate water must be produced, and condensate water will become harmful fluid. At the same time, air and other non-condensable gases will be mixed into the condensate water, which will cause the failure of the equipment and reduce its performance. In this case, the most important functions of traps are as follows:
(1) The condensate produced can be quickly removed.
(2) Preventing steam leakage.
(3) Exclude air and other non-condensable gases.
