Classification of steam traps

Steam traps are valves used in steam networks and equipment that can automatically drain condensate, air and other non-condensable gases and block the leakage of water vapor.

According to the different working principle of steam traps, steam traps can be converted into the following three types:

Mechanical type: Rely on changes in the height of the condensate in the steam trap, including:

Float ball type: The float is a closed hollow ball open upward float type: the float is an open upward barrel type downward float type: the float is an open downwards bucket type thermostatic type: it depends on the change of liquid temperature ,include:

Bimetal: The sensitive original is a bimetal vapor pressure type: Sensitive originals are bellows or cartridges, internally filled with volatile liquids Thermodynamic type: Rely on changes in the thermodynamic properties of the liquid.

Disc Type: Due to different flow rates of liquid and gas under the same pressure, the different dynamic and static pressures generated will drive the disc valve to actuate pulse type: due to different temperatures of condensed water passing through the two-pole serial orifice The plate type, sitting in different pressures between the orifice plates, drives the flap.
