Introducing what a steam trap is, the on-site awareness of existing steam traps, and the background of its development!
A steam trap is a device that automatically discharges condensate (drain) generated in steam piping, heat exchangers, dryers, heating equipment, and so on. After steam transfers heat in the process, it turns into condensate. If this condensate remains inside the piping or equipment, it can lead to reduced heat transfer efficiency, water hammer, pipe corrosion, equipment damage, and decreased process quality. Therefore, the basic purposes of a steam trap are as follows: - To properly discharge condensate. - To minimize the loss of live steam. - To prevent excessive accumulation of condensate inside piping and equipment. - To reduce the loss of steam energy. - To ensure stable operation of the equipment. In other words, a steam trap is not just a valve for draining water; it is a device that distinguishes between steam and condensate, discharging only the condensate to minimize steam loss. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

basic information
Steam traps, which have been widely used in industrial settings, are mainly as follows: ■ Disc type ■ Float type ■ Bucket type According to TSK's explanation, these existing traps have been widely used in industrial settings for nearly 100 years. However, in actual sites, it is often taken for granted that steam or vapor is visible from the steam traps. In some locations, there may even be a sense of unease if steam is not visible, as it may seem like the trap is not functioning. Due to this perception, the energy losses associated with live steam loss and high-temperature drain discharge occurring in steam traps are often not sufficiently recognized as a problem. TSK views this as one of the biggest issues in the existing steam trap market and uses it as a starting point to explain the necessity of TSK's bellows-type steam traps. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*
