How to maintain a steam trap when it is not in use for a long time

2015-12-11View Original

Thread Content

After the antifreeze heating system was put into use in winter, the traps were found to become clogged frequently. I regret that the traps haven’t been properly maintained on a regular basis. Let’s discuss how to maintain them when they aren’t in use for long periods of time :Lol, welcome all sea friends to participate in the discussions and exchanges. . . . :lol

Previously, when stopping the heat tracing, we would stop the steam supply and vent the trap; later on, we stopped only the trap supply while continuing to provide steam. In any case, it seems that things will be better if no air gets in after it’s turned off. When it’s useful, it’s best not to include a desiccant at first; wait until steam is present before adding it.
