STAINLESS STEEL Armstrong Thermodynamic Superheated Water Valve Steam Trap
steam trap are available in threaded and flanged types, with various sizes and pressure ratings. They are high-temperature and corrosion-resistant, offer sensitive opening and closing, and provide stable drainage, making them suitable for steam systems.
Working Principles
This steam trap, uses a float and a temperature control element to remove condensate from steam systems. When steam enters the valve body, the float rises and closes the valve to prevent steam leakage. When condensate accumulates, the float descends, opening the valve to drain the condensate. Simultaneously, the temperature control element can release air or non-condensable gases. This working principle ensures continuous and efficient operation of the steam system, avoids water hammer and condensate buildup, optimizes heat utilization, and features a simple structure for easy maintenance and testing.
