Where Steam Traps Are Used in Steam Systems

Introduction

Steam traps are installed in many locations within steam systems to remove condensate and maintain efficient operation.

Steam Mains

Steam mains transport steam throughout the plant. Steam traps remove condensate that forms in these pipelines.

Heat Exchangers

Steam traps remove condensate from heat exchangers to maintain heat transfer efficiency.

Steam Tracing

Steam tracing systems use steam traps to remove condensate from tracing lines.

Equipment Drains

Steam traps are often installed at equipment drains to remove condensate from steam equipment.

Conclusion

Steam traps are widely used throughout steam systems to ensure proper condensate removal and efficient plant operation.
