How often should a steam trap be replaced?
About two years, I guess. Some last longer, while others last a year or even less – it mainly depends on the level of wear and tear
No problem, basically no changes needed! Generally, with continuous use for 3-4 years, there are no major issues!
Replace it only when it’s broken; why replace it if it’s not broken?
The air leakage rate exceeds 10%, resulting in significant waste.
Well, then we need to calculate the costs – compare the cost of the check valve with the cost of air leakage – and use the option that saves more money
If it stops working, replace it; otherwise, what are we waiting for?
No problem; it can stay unchanged for many years. It mainly depends on the hydrophobic effect
