Is there a valve to prevent water hammer that allows steam to pass through and water to stay out?
Yes, this kind of valve is called a pressure reducing valve. Pressure reducing valves can control the pressure of fluid flowing through pipes to prevent water hammer. When steam flows through the pressure reducing valve, the pressure reducing valve will automatically adjust the outlet pressure so that the steam flows out at an appropriate pressure while leaving excess water in the pipe to reduce the risk of water hammer. .
Yes, it's a trap. See the principles and selection of water traps https://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1251810&shareuid=301199
A steam trap, that should work
The trap allows water to pass through, but steam does not pass through. If water enters the condensate pipe network, if the trap fails and steam enters the condensate pipeline, water hammer will occur.
The steam trap is renamed as a steam trap, also called an automatic drainer or condensate discharger. It is divided into: steam system use and gas system use. Mechanical type (free float type, lever float type, inverted bucket type) traps use the buoyancy principle to open and close. It can automatically distinguish between steam and water. It is often used to collect and reuse the discharged water that requires continuous drainage and large flow rate. Among them, the lever float trap and the inverted bucket trap have complex structures, while the free float trap has a simple structure and does not leak steam. It is generally used for pipeline drainage or equipment drainage.

During the circulation of steam in pipelines, condensation water will be generated due to heat loss, pressure loss and other reasons. In order to keep the steam dry and avoid pipeline water hammer, a steam-water separator can be used to remove the liquid moisture in the steam.
Yes, what he is looking for is a soda separator
Just use a soda separator can and choose an appropriate volume based on experience. In fact, there is no need to calculate. Just see if there are any unused waste cans on site and connect them. As long as there is a certain buffer space, you can separate soda and water. If the requirements are high, you can add a wire mesh to remove foam.
