In a Free Float® trap, buoyancy opens the valve and pressure differential closes it. The key to efficiency is balancing these forces. Larger orifices increase closing force, affecting max operating pressure. Learn more: www2.tlv.com/steam-info/stea…

Why is the orifice in a steam trap so small compared to the connection size? It's because it only accommodates for condensate flow. A tiny 2-3mm [⅛ inch] orifice can discharge 350 kg/h [770 lb/h] at a 0.2 MPaG [30 psi] pressure differential. Learn more: www2.tlv.com/steam-info/stea…

'Stall' occurs when pressure across a steam trap goes negative, leading to pooled condensate and issues like uneven heating. Steam traps can't self-drain; they rely on pressure differences. Prevent stall for a more efficient system. Learn more: www2.tlv.com/steam-info/stea…

Group trapping can lead to pressure imbalances, causing condensate pooling & uneven heating. This affects production quality & can even damage equipment. Though some machines limit trap numbers, individual trapping is advised for optimal performance. 🔗: www2.tlv.com/steam-info/stea…

Double Trapping: installing two traps in series. Mistakenly seen as a safety measure but it can cause blockage, leading to condensate pooling. This happens when steam from the first trap increases back pressure, making the second trap close. Learn more: www2.tlv.com/steam-info/stea…
