Every vessel, steam or motor, has a steam system that incorporates steam traps strategically located throughout the piping system. The proper operation of steam traps is an essential component of efficient cycle operation. What should properly functioning steam traps accomplish?
• Function of steam traps in a steam system • Difference between handling condensate, air, and live steam • How water hammer occurs and why condensate buildup is dangerous
• Ask yourself: What is the primary job of a steam trap regarding condensate and steam—should it pass steam, condensate, air, or some combination? • Which option best describes preventing problems like water hammer and loss of heat while still keeping steam where it belongs? • Consider: If a trap lets live steam flow through continuously, what does that do to system efficiency?
• Verify which choice clearly mentions preventing condensate backup in the line. • Check which option avoids wasting live steam through the trap. • Confirm which description connects condensate removal with preventing water hammer and maintaining efficient heat transfer.
