Steam Traps

Steam traps are essential for any business that uses steam to power its machinery. They are responsible for removing condensate from the piping, which can build up and cause damage if left unchecked. Steam traps come in a variety of different designs, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The most common types are thermostatic, inverted buckets, and mechanical traps. Thermostatic traps are the most common type of steam trap, and they use a sensing element to open and close the valve in response to changes in temperature. Inverted bucket traps use a float to control the valve and are well-suited for applications where large volumes of condensate need to be removed. Mechanical traps use a diaphragm or piston to open and close the valve and are often used in high-pressure applications.
