The days of cheap energy are over, and there is
strong likelihood that fuel costs will continue to escalate. It is
imperative that a steam system be regularly monitored for loss. When
steam traps are neglected and left to operate improperly, they can,
over time, cause the failure of other traps and components within
the system.
As you probably know, there are many benefits for
a facility with the foresight and wisdom to initiate a steam trap
survey and repair program. If you need any further assistance
in designing a steam trap repair program you can contact Cici Boiler
Rooms. Cici stocks one of the largest steam trap inventories in the
Midwest. Our stock includes popular brands such as Spirax Sarco and
Hoffman. However, we also stock repair kits for all kinds of steam
traps!

Thermostatic Steam Traps
Balanced
pressure thermostatic steam traps are
devices that sense the temperature
difference between condensate and saturated
steam. These traps remain closed until the
condensate collecting in the trap subcools
enough to actuate the valve. The amount of
subcooling varies among designs, and is
tailored to various applications ranging
from biotechnology processing to apartment
steam radiators. Because these traps
respond to temperature, they have excellent
air venting characteristics. Applications
with quick or frequent start-ups perform
best using balanced pressure thermostatic
traps.

Float & Thermostatic Steam Traps
Float and
thermostatic steam traps are commonly used
on process applications where they function
to drain condensate from a heat exchanger.
These types of traps respond quickly to
changing loads, and they have a quiet,
modulating action. Rising water level
inside the trap causes the float to rise.
This pulls the valve plug away from the
seat, opening the valve. After the
condensate has been drained away, the float
falls and valve plug is guided into the seat
to close the valve. An integral thermostat
functions to vent air and other
non-condensable gases from the system. |

Inverted Bucket Steam Traps
Inverted
bucket steam traps utilize an open,
inverted, bucket as a type of float. Steam
fills the inverted bucket which causes it to
float and close the valve. Condensate
collecting under the bucket reduces its
buoyant force and the bucket falls, pulling
the valve open. These traps find use in a
wide variety of applications. Small traps
are used on steam drip and product tracing
applications. Large traps are used in some
process applications. These traps feature a
rugged, simple design. Hardened internals
ensure long life and reliable service.
