Selection of steam traps recommended
Steam Traps Selection Recommendation: Inverted Bucket Traps: The first choice for all process loads and steam main line traps, which is all where hydrophobic steam is required. Float Thermostatic Traps: For process hydrophobics, especially where control of loads up to 50 psi (35 kg) or applications with high air contents and installation of inverted bucket traps is problematic. Balanced Pressure Traps: Used as a non-critical heat tracing or heating system. Bimetal thermosyphon trap: for heat tracing or heating system low temperature or anti-frost conditions. This type of trap allows to maximize the use of sensible heat in the condensate or to prevent overheating of the product. The valve body is all stainless steel. Thermodynamic Disc Traps: As an alternative to inverted bucket traps, as long as previous experience proves to be of good performance, they are used as restricted on steam and heat tracing pipes under 17 kg, or as a replacement At higher vapor pressure. Not recommended because of its low energy efficiency and short lifetime (and not allowed at Huddersfield and Grangemouth).
