🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermodynamic steam trap operation – how condensate vs. flash steam act on the disc/seat • Relationship between pressure drop and flashing of hot condensate (saturation pressure vs. actual pressure) • Flow path at points A, B, H, and I in the illustration – what fills these spaces when condensate turns to steam

💭 Think About

• Trace the path of hot condensate from the inlet at A, through the restriction at B, and into the chamber around H and I. Under what condition will it stay liquid instead of flashing into steam? • In a thermodynamic steam trap, does flow of condensate continue when flash steam forms at the seat, or when condensate remains subcooled (still below boiling for its pressure)? • Look carefully at areas H and I: what happens to the disc and the outlet flow if these spaces fill with steam instead of liquid condensate?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between saturation pressure and actual system pressure at B for the given condensate temperature • Identify which options describe flashing of condensate to steam at B and which describe no flashing • Before choosing, confirm which condition (flashing vs. no flashing) allows the trap to keep passing condensate through the outlet

Question 1 of 20

In the operation of the illustrated steam trap, condensate will continue to pass through the outlet as long as __________. See illustration GS-0002.

steam occupies the area labeled "I"

the drop in pressure at "B" does not lower the pressure of the condensate below its current saturation pressure

the drop in pressure at "B" lowers the vapor pressure of the condensate below its current saturation pressure

the pressure in area "H" is at least 85% of the pressure in area "I"
