A steam trap is attached to the end of an apparatus that consumes steam created in boilers, such as steam heaters and heat exchangers, in a production factory.
The role of a steam trap is to separate condensate water, which is created inside, from steam and quickly exhaust it to maximize and maintain the performance of the apparatus.
In addition, due to the condensate water created inside the tube, which carries the steam produced in the boiler to the apparatus, steam hammer occurs and presents various kinds of problems. The steam trap is installed to prevent this.
The supply side may supply steam from a high efficiency boiler, but today steam is exhausted needlessly by the deficiency of the maintenance of the steam trap at the steam consuming apparatus side.
