Is it necessary to install steam traps before and after the steam pipeline valves?
Thread Content
Are traps required before and after steam pipeline valves, and what are the relevant standards?
It’s generally required at the inlet side, that is, before entering; it’s better to drain the water first before going in. There’s no need to use so many valves
When setting up hydrophobicity, it is essential to consider the reliability of the operation; it is safer to install a conduit leading to a location that is far away
It depends on the specific operating conditions. Personally, I think it might not be necessary if the steam delivery pipeline is very short
I think we need to analyze specific problems individually; we can’t make generalizations Because where there are valves, there is not necessarily liquid
It depends on what type of valve it is. Generally, for self-acting valves such as pressure reducers, steam drainage is necessary, but it’s not required in front of manual valves like gate valves.
