About steam traps

What type of trap should be used for a saturated steam pipeline with a pressure of 0.7 MPa and a flow rate of 1.4 T/H? What type of steam trap should be used for the end-connected steam cylinder? The boiling point of the material in the evaporation equipment is 110 degrees; what type of steam trap should be used for heating with 0.7 MPa saturated steam? Should I choose the thermostatic type or the mechanical type? Please ask an expert for help! Thank you!

Steam pipelines can be of the thermostatic type or mechanical type; for steam and water recovery, a mechanical type is recommended, while for cases where no recovery is needed, a thermostatic type is suitable. Steam distribution cylinders should use a mechanical type, and evaporation equipment that requires rapid heating should also employ a mechanical type. The back pressure generated by the height of the water tank for steam condensate inlet does not affect your current process requirements. But it’s a waste to use open-loop recovery for such high-pressure condensate; the cost of energy loss is many times greater than the value of recovering the water. It is recommended to switch to closed-loop recovery. For information on the selection and application of steam traps, please visit my forum: www.jngc.net.cn. Additionally, our company also sells steam traps and specializes in steam condensate recovery; feel free to contact us if you have any needs. As a technology-focused company, we place emphasis on quality and technical excellence, as well as cost-effectiveness. You can reach me if you have any questions.
If condensate water needs to be recovered, a mechanical method is better as it can handle high backpressure； If the back pressure is very low, a thermostatic type can also be considered; its energy utilization efficiency is higher than that of mechanical types, for your reference.
It’s on the second floor; I want to learn * but I can’t access your forum. :)
There is an extra dot after his forum website address. It seems like it will work if you remove that part. It’s called the Energy Conservation Engineering Forum. . . Go in and learn* it first.
It can be opened. Try again; just be more direct.
I’m not sure what is meant by mechanical Although manufacturers describe the uses of various types of traps, the most commonly used ones are still the thermodynamic type. The feed system we designed for a well-known foreign company uses thermodynamic traps for conditions like yours; the valves are manufactured in Germany.
The “feeding” printed above should be recent
What is the difference between thermodynamic and mechanical types? Could you explain it?
Some time ago we carried out a steam upgrade, raising the pressure from 1.6 MPa to 6.0 MPa. The traps used were all from Armstrong; although they are a bit more expensive, their quality is indeed excellent. Additionally, if the pressure remains high after steam heating, flash evaporation is usually required.
Check if there are any special requirements; analyze each specific issue individually
