Steam Trap manufacturer

Australian valve is one of the best Steam Trap Manufacturer in Australia A steam trap is a device installed in a steam system to discharge condensate and non-condensable gases while preventing the escape of steam. It acts as a valve that “traps” steam in the system while allowing the condensate to be drained away. Steam traps are essential components of a steam system, helping to maintain efficient energy utilization, prevent water hammer, and extend the life of the system components.

Steam Trap Manufacturer in Australia provides several types of steam traps, including:

1.Thermodynamic steam traps – operate based on the difference in density between steam and condensate.

2.Mechanical steam traps – use a moving part, such as a ball float, to open and close the discharge port.

3.Thermostatic steam traps – rely on a temperature-sensitive element to open and close the discharge port.

4.Float and thermostatic steam traps – a combination of mechanical and thermostatic traps, utilizing both a float and a temperature-sensitive element.

5.Bimetallic steam traps – use two metal plates with different coefficients of thermal expansion that bend in response to changes in temperature.

6.Inverted bucket steam traps – utilize an inverted bucket that alternately sinks and rises as steam and condensate flow through the trap

Advantages of steam traps

1.Energy efficiency – By removing condensate and non-condensable gases, steam traps help to maintain the steam quality and pressure in the system, which leads to improved energy efficiency.

2.Increased equipment lifespan – Steam traps prevent the buildup of condensate in the system, which can cause corrosion and other damage to the equipment.

3.Improved safety – By preventing water hammer, steam traps help to reduce the risk of equipment failure and prevent system upsets.

4.Enhanced process control – By maintaining the proper pressure and steam quality, steam traps can help to improve the performance and control of processes that rely on steam.

5.Cost savings – By reducing energy waste and prolonging the lifespan of the equipment, steam traps can result in significant cost savings over the life of a steam system.

6.Environmental benefits – By improving energy efficiency, steam traps can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a more sustainable energy system.
