Thermostatic steam trap manufacturer in Canada

 Thermostatic steam trap manufacturer in Canada

Thermostatic steam traps operate on steam's temperature difference from cooled condensate and air. Steam increases the pressure inside the thermostatic element, causing the trap to close. The amount of condensate backed up ahead of the trap depends on the load conditions, steam pressure and size of the piping.

How it works:

A thermostatic vent in the top of the trap allows free passage of air during start-up, and closes near saturation temperature. Condensate fills a float chamber, causing a float to rise, and through a lever mechanism pulls a valve off its seat and opens the orifice of a discharge valve.

The X-element is open at start-up because the system is cold. Large amounts of air and low temperature condensate are rapidly discharged through the open valve, thereby reducing the start-up time.

When the temperature inside the trap rises, it causes the thermo liquid inside the X-element to expand. The valve remains open until the temperature approaches the saturation temperature of the inlet steam pressure. Once the temperature inside the trap rises close to the saturation temperature of the inlet steam pressure, the valve closes.

When the inflow of condensate begins, the X-element is cooled causing the valve to open immediately, and condensate is discharged in the intermittent operation representative of disc type traps. If the amount of condensate is extremely small, however, the valve opens only slightly and a dribble-discharge type of operation takes place. In addition, the trap reacts with great sensitivity to temperature differences to rapidly discharge air that is close to the saturation temperature.
