Steam Trap Supplier in Australia

Australian Valve is one of the most famous Steam Trap Supplier in Australia. A steam trap is a mechanical device used in steam distribution systems to remove condensate and non-condensable gases, such as air, from the steam flow. Steam traps play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and safety of steam systems in various industrial and commercial applications. Its primary function is to efficiently remove condensed water from steam lines.

Condensate forms when steam loses heat energy and undergoes a phase change from vapor to liquid. Removing this condensate is essential for maintaining the quality and effectiveness of steam as a heat transfer medium. These also remove non-condensable gases, such as air and carbon dioxide, from the steam system. The presence of these gases can reduce the heat-carrying capacity of the steam and lead to performance issues. Functioning steam traps contribute to energy efficiency by preventing the loss of valuable steam. Inefficient or malfunctioning traps can lead to steam waste, which increases energy costs. These traps use a float mechanism to open and close a valve in response to the level of condensate in the trap. These traps rely on temperature changes to modulate the valve and discharge condensate. These traps utilize the expansion and contraction of bimetallic elements to control the valve.
