Help: Issues with steam traps
Thread Content
Can a back-pressure-operated steam trap deliver condensate to a height of over 5 meters? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this approach?
As long as the working pressure is above 0.55 kilograms, there’s no problem. Additionally, this approach doesn’t have any advantages; its disadvantages are that the water-repellent valve has a shorter lifespan, and it’s also necessary to prevent blockages and ruptures in the pipes
The main advantage is the convenience of reusing condensate water
Check the pressure difference; the data sheet provided in the design will indicate this value. The pressure difference must be greater than 0.05 MPa – if it’s equal to or less than that value, it’s not possible to proceed
