We have over 20 years of experience in the manufacturing and field service of steam traps, and we hope this post can help resolve your related issues. Note: 1) Aimed at resolving equipment issues, avoiding energy waste, and improving production efficiency. 2) Please forgive us if we are unable to respond in a timely manner. 3) Diverse opinions are welcome; let’s discuss together.
I would like to ask: when purchasing a steam trap, in addition to the normal model and material, what other parameters such as back pressure and flow rate need to be specified?
Is there any information related to check valves that you can share? !
The original poster can share some information. Soft advertising such as material tapes with the company logo is not against the rules. :lol
The original poster is so kind! I happened to come across a few check valves recently. I have noticed a pattern in the process packages regarding the selection of steam traps: when steam at 0.45 MPaG is used as the heat source for the reboiler, a \"pumping trap\" is employed for the steam condensate. The steam condensate collection main at 0.45 MPaG leads to the atmospheric pressure tank, and since the pipeline is not very long, the condensate is fully capable of overcoming the pipeline resistance to return to the atmospheric pressure tank. I don’t know under what circumstances a “pumping trap” trap is needed? :handshake original poster
I have a specific question: why is it required that there be no insulation within one meter in front of a bimetallic trap?
You are right; there needs to be a pressure difference and a condensate drainage capacity, and then it’s necessary to refer to the selection parameter tables provided by various manufacturers.

It is recommended to use a mechanical lever float-type drain. The back pressure of the lever float-type valve can exceed 80%, allowing for rapid discharge of condensate and fast heating. It is highly suitable for use in condensate recovery systems.
A one-meter length of bare pipe is required; if insulation is applied, it will no longer be possible to discharge condensate at temperatures below the subcooled level.
