🔍 Key Concepts

• 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

💭 Think About

• 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?

✅ Before You Answer

• 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.

Question 1 of 20

Allow trapped air in the steam system to be released to the atmosphere.

Allow back up of condensate in steam line drain systems and allow steam to pass through them.

Prevent back up of condensate in the steam system thus preventing loss of sensible heat and prevent 'water hammers' without passing steam.

Allow steam and condensate to pass through to maintain a constant condensate return rate.
