Clean Steam Trap

Pure Steam (Clean Steam) is a purest form of available steam whose condensate should meet all the parameters of Water for Injection (WFI). In general terms it is defined as the steam which is free from all chemicals & biological impurities.

Application –
• WFI System sterilization
• Fermenter sterilization
• CIP/SIP system condensate drainage
• Sterilization of process vessels and pipes
• Culinary systems
• Humidifiers
• Steam barriers (Blocks & Bleed System)

Applicable Codes – ASME BPE
The Uni Klinger make Sanitary steam trap is of balanced pressure design with SS316L bellows capable of releasing condensate within 1?°C (2 – 3 °F) of saturated pressure. Clean steam Trap utilizes hygienic body clamp allowing disassembly for inspection or cleaning and is made up of entirely self draining design leading to no condensate retention.

As the name suggests, a Steam Trap is a device which allows Condensate to pass through it, while trapping live Steam. Steam Trap is used to drain out the condensate in steam network, formed due to heat loss or heat transfer, without live steam loss.
A steam trap does the following multiple work:
1) It Allows venting of air or non-condensable gases present in steam network(especially during start-up)
2) It Traps live steam
3) It Discharges the condensate(formed due to condensation)
It is required at one or numerous locations to,
1) Avoid water hammer in steam pipes and other equipments
2) Improve the heat transfer capabilities of equipments
3) Avoid excessive corrosion and pitting
There are 3(three) types of steam traps
1) Thermodynamic(disc) type:
Operating principle :- It works of Bernoulli’s principle (Kinetic energy/velocity)
2) Thermostatic(bellow) type
Operating principle :- It works of thermal(temperature) principle
3) Mechanical(Float and bucket) type
Operating principle :- It works of Buoyancy principle
FOS or Safety factor is related to the discharge capacity of steam trap. Every steam trap is designed to meet a predefined discharge capacity at corresponding differential pressure. But if actual rate of condensation is higher at some plant locations due to conditions of start-up or similar conditions, we must consider FOS or safety factor to meet these extra demands of condensate discharging.
Insulation of steam traps is not recommended with few exceptions However, it depends on the operating principle of steam trap. Please note, insulation means Thermal insulation
1) Thermodynamic Type : Insulating should be limited to Ice & Rain fall from top cover side only
2) Thermostatic Type : Not recommended at all
3) Mechanical Type : Float & Bucket type are mechanical traps. Not recommended for this type too
