What is a Thermodynamic Steam Trap?

Thermodynamic traps are simple, robust, and reliable. They can operate at very high temperatures and pressures. Initially, the incoming pressure lifts the disc and cold condensate is discharged immediately.

Hot condensate flows through the inlet passage into the chamber below the disc, which reduces pressure and releases high-velocity flash steam. This high velocity creates a low-pressure area under the disc, pulling it towards its seat.

The operating speed depends on the steam temperature and ambient conditions. Most traps will remain closed for 20 to 40 seconds. If the trap opens too frequently, perhaps due to a cold, wet, or windy location, the opening speed can be slowed down by installing an insulating cover over the top of the trap.

Advantages of Thermodynamic Steam Traps

• Thermodynamic traps can operate in all operating ranges without any adjustment or internal modification.
• They are compact, simple, lightweight, and have a large condensate capacity relative to their size.
• Thermodynamic traps can be used with high-pressure and superheated steam and are unaffected by water hammer or vibration.

Types of Thermodynamic Condensate Traps

There are 3 types of thermodynamic steam traps:

Disk Thermodynamic Trap: In disk thermodynamic traps, the disk allows the valve to open and close with the incoming pressure. Condensate and air are discharged into the system. When the liquid temperature reaches the steam temperature, new steam forms. The newly generated steam closes the disk and the system repeats as such.

Reciprocating Thermodynamic Trap: The working principle of reciprocating traps is similar to disk traps. The only difference is that the disk is replaced by a piston. Under the effect of pressure, the piston closes the valve, and when the pressure drops, the valve opens again.

Lever Thermodynamic Trap: This type of steam trap is similar in working principle to reciprocating thermodynamic traps. The opening and closing of the valve are controlled by the lever.
