Why does a thermodynamic steam trap only emit steam and not drain water? ! How should it be solved?
Thread Content
A 64-kilogram thermodynamic steam trap that only releases air and does not remove water; the actual pressure in the pipeline is around 41-42 kilograms. More than twenty were installed; seven or eight of them became like this as soon as they were installed. What’s the reason? I urge experts to help answer! ! ! !
Reason: 1. It was not installed at the required level/verticality； 2. Impurities are stuck inside the components.

At 40 barg, the thermal steam trap has a fixed drainage rate of 1000 KG/HR; when used for pipeline drainage, it is essential to choose a steam trap with a very small discharge orifice size. If released into the atmosphere, 99.999% of the volume is flash vapor, with almost no water visible. To determine whether there is a leak, one can only check whether a regular clicking sound indicating closure occurs every 8-10 seconds. Because the thermodynamic steam trap operates intermittently. The control chamber on the disc will open a second time only after the steam within it has condensed to a certain extent. Thermodynamic steam traps have a flat seal and are highly sensitive to dirt, impurities, etc.; therefore, a steam filter with a pore size of less than 0.2 mm must be installed. There are mainly two types of high-pressure pipeline steam traps: one is the bimetallic steam trap, and the other is the thermodynamic steam trap. Relatively speaking, bimetallic steam traps are more suitable for this application. I don’t know what brand you bought; I’m aware of a thermodynamic steam trap made in the United States that is OEM-produced by Shanghai’s township enterprises, and its quality is very poor.
Methods for judging and detecting steam trap leakage
Your technical material is quite good; if possible, could you share it? Or send it separately to my email: df*ng@qq.com. Thank you~
Is it that simple? Put the good ones in the bad locations to see if it’s a quality issue or an installation issue
It’s really great material; could you share it? 39445922@qq.com Thank you!
3906107@qq.com, could you send me some materials? Thank you. .
Incorrect selection, or the steam trap failing to close, resulting in direct steam injection
