Thermostatic Steam Trap
Thermostatic Steam Trap: Increase Efficiency and Safety in Steam Systems
In industrial steam systems, effectively discharging condensate and non-condensable gases is critical to system efficiency and safety. ORFA Industrial Products Industry and Trade Inc. offers high-performance thermostatic steam trap solutions to meet this need. In this blog post, we will examine in detail the features, operating principles, and importance of thermostatic steam traps in industrial applications.
What is a Thermostatic Steam Trap?
Thermostatic steam traps are installation components used to remove condensate and non-condensable gases from the steam line. Their most important feature is their highly corrosion-resistant thermostatic element. This element follows the steam saturation curve, ensuring efficient condensate removal.
Features and Advantages:
Thermostatic steam traps offered by ORFA Industrial offer various advantages for industrial systems:
- High Corrosion Resistance: The high corrosion resistance of the thermostatic element ensures long-lasting and reliable use.
- Efficient Condensate Discharge: Ensures effective discharge of condensate by following the steam saturation curve, increasing system efficiency.
- Non-condensable gas discharge: Optimizes system performance by discharging non-condensable gases accumulated in the system.
- Water Hammer Resistance: Its structure, which is not affected by water hammer, increases system security.
- Easy Cleaning: Models with "Y" type filters are available for many applications, providing ease of cleaning.
- Spare Parts Supply: All internal parts can be supplied as spare parts, ensuring ease of maintenance and long-lasting use.
- Back Pressure Control: The ball inside the seat acts as a check valve in the event of high back pressure in the system, preventing condensate from mixing into the steam line.
