Float Type Steam Traps are a crucial part of any industrial steam system, and many facilities will have a number of them installed at some point during the initial setup process. They are designed to help to keep the system running smoothly by acting as a barrier between the water in the boiler and the atmosphere above it. As any hot liquid rises through a steam trap, it becomes less dense and floats on top of the water below, preventing further heat transfer. As such, they are very important components of any industrial steam system. In addition to helping to ensure that temperatures remain consistent throughout the system, they also help prevent pipes from becoming blocked due to any build-up of condensation. The result is improved efficiency and increased productivity.
