What is a thermodynamic disc steam trap?
A thermodynamic disc steam trap is a compact and highly durable valve designed to discharge condensate from steam systems. It operates using the dynamic effect of steam velocity as it passes through the trap.
How does a disc steam trap work?
It operates on the principle of thermodynamics. When cold condensate enters, it pushes the disc up to discharge. As hot condensate and steam follow, the high-velocity steam creates a low-pressure zone beneath the disc, causing it to snap shut and seal the steam system.
What are the main advantages of using the EH01 disc steam trap?
The EH01 features outstanding resistance to water hammer, a compact design, and reliable operation under high pressures. It requires minimal maintenance and is highly resistant to freezing when installed properly.
Can disc steam traps be installed in any orientation?
For optimal performance and to minimize wear, it is highly recommended to install thermodynamic disc steam traps horizontally with the disc cover facing upward.
What applications are best suited for thermodynamic disc steam traps?
They are ideal for steam main drainage, high-pressure steam tracing lines, turbine drains, and other applications where rapid drainage of condensate is required under fluctuating loads.
