Jacketed steam pipe drain bypass
Thread Content
The drain bypass valve should be opened regularly to discharge non-condensable gas, otherwise the heat exchange efficiency will be reduced. Chemical engineering principles are explained in detail.
Regarding this issue, it is also worth noting that the trap valve on our device has basically never opened the bypass. It seems that it needs to be improved in the future.
Unless the steam trap is not working properly, there is generally no need to open the bypass. It also needs to be opened when stopping to introduce steam.
This depends on the trap you choose. Some can discharge hot and cold air and non-non-condensable gases, while others cannot.
The quality of steam traps is much better now. The so-called bypass is just a backup.
Yes, the bypass is just a backup, the water trap needs to be easy to use.
Some equipment uses steam for heating and cooling water for cooling, and the bypass is used to drain the cooling water.
I have never used a water trap that automatically discharges non-condensable air. It is lagging behind.
study* Well, many of our company's steam traps are not designed with bypasses, but we have not found insufficient heat exchange! ~Pay more attention to this issue in the future!
Well, this makes sense, especially since some of the oxygen mixed in the saturated steam will corrode the pipes if it is not removed regularly.
