Uni Klinger Thermostatic steam traps, in general, operate based on the temperature difference between steam and condensate. These traps use a thermostatic element, often a bimetallic or wax-filled element, to open and close a valve.

Thermostatic steam traps operate based on the principle that condensate (liquid water formed from condensed steam) has a lower temperature than live steam.

Steam traps plays an important role in various industrial processes by efficiently removing condensate and non-condensable gases (majorly air) from steam systems. However, right selection of steam trap for a specific application can be a complex task.
