What Spirax Sarco steam traps Are and How They Work
Spirax Sarco steam traps are valves that sense the presence of condensate, air, or steam and open or close to discharge condensate and non-condensable gases from a steam system while retaining live steam.Spirax Sarco, 01/20/2025
To accomplish this, Spirax Sarco offers several trap technologies, including thermostatic, mechanical float and thermostatic, and thermodynamic disc designs.Spirax Sarco, 03/15/2025 Each type is engineered for particular pressure ranges, load conditions, and applications, from process heat exchangers to steam main drainage.
Thermostatic steam traps operate by responding to temperature differences between condensate and saturated steam, while float and thermostatic traps use a float mechanism for continuous condensate discharge under varying loads.Spirax Sarco, 04/05/2025
