Help needed – I have a question regarding a steam trap; I hope someone with expertise can help resolve it. Thank you!

The experimental setup for the graduation thesis features a steam heating device equipped with a standard disc-type steam trap at its end. When normal steam is used, there are no issues, but when secondary steam is utilized, the steam trap allows a large amount of steam to leak out; in severe cases, steam keeps leaking continuously. I asked my supervisor before, and he couldn’t explain it either; the final conclusion was that the steam contained too many non-condensable gases. I don’t know what’s going on exactly at the moment; I hope someone knowledgeable can help. Thank you! ! !

Since the flow rates of liquids and gases are different under the same pressure, the resulting differences in dynamic and static pressures drive the disc valve element to move. Your conclusion makes some sense.
