Save Money on Energy and Protect the Environment by using Uni Klinger Steam Traps


Save Money on Energy and Protect the Environment.

An efficient steam trap save energy, which means to save fuel and decrease emissions. The outcome is a cleaner, better environment. By helping companies manage energy, Uni Klinger steam traps assist to protect the world. Steam traps have a big job, actually several tasks, in a well-designed steam system. For overall efficiency and economy, steam traps must provide :- 

  • Durable and reliable service
  • least steam loss
  • Air venting
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Carbon dioxide venting
  • Operation against back pressure
  • Privilege from dirt problems

Why steam trap needed?

The enthalpy in the steam basically has two components. The Latent heat and the Sensible heat. Whereas condensate has only sensible heat. This condensate has to be removed as soon as it is formed, because it hinders to efficient heat transfer as well as leads to water hammer phenomenon as it is hot water (having more Specific Gravity) that moves with high velocity of steam (8 to 10 times higher than water), carrying enough momentum to rupture pipes and which is damaging to the plant pipelines as well as piping equipments. Hence, need to remove condensate from steam main and trap steam. This is done by steam trap.
