Steam Trap

Main function of any steam trap is to trap the steam and drain out the condensate water. In industry there are many types of steam trap like thermodynamic steam trap, float steam trap, inverted bucket steam trap & Venturi Orifice steam trap. There is huge difference in working principle of Venturi float Steam trap and other regular steam trap.



There are mainly two problems in other regular mechanical operating steam traps are as under so preventive testing and maintenance required frequently.



1. Steam traps fail in open condition ( Occur mostly in TD steam trap):



2. Steam traps fail in closed condition so backing up condensate causing (Occur mostly in Float and Bucket steam trap):

Note : In float steam trap there are permanent steam loss through SLR.



All these problems are eliminated in Venturi Float Steam trap due to there are Ventury and float two orifice are in working.



In Venturi float Steam Trap there are two orifice working to remove condensate from Steam System. One is Venturi orifice which is design as per client condensate load and pressure at inlet of trap and second is float valve orifice. Ventury orifice nozzle is sized to handle 100% of the condensate load produced by a particular application. Normally ventury orifice is in working condition. Float orifice is in closed condition. Some time at starting of process and low pressure condition there are float orifice is open and remove excess water from system. So this Venturi Float steam trap can cope up efficiently the condensate load at start up, normal running and pick load condition.

DESIGN FEATURES

Two orifice mechanism control condensate flow at all levels

Tailor made Venturi orifice design control condensate flow automatically

Continuous discharge of condensate



Efficient condensate discharges due to 0.001 kg/cm2 differential pressure against 0.1 kg/cm2 of other make trap

Built in air vent for quick start up

Wear resistance construction as SG iron cover and base & stainless steel internals part

Advantages and Benefits

No SLR so no steam wastage due to miss setting of SLR

Moving parts is rarely work and so no required maintenance for long time

Permanently eliminate the need of steam trap survey and repairing cost

CO2 emissions are reduced by reducing steam consumption and boiler fuel usage.

Environment Friendly

Save water and water treatment chemicals
Permanent steam savings about 10 to 45%

Increased heat transfer typically 10%

Unaffected by thermal shock or water hammer so increasing plant life.
