🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of a steam trap in a heat exchanger drain line • Proper orientation and accessibility of steam traps for operation and maintenance • Effect of insulation/painting on trap performance and inspection

💭 Think About

• Think about what a steam trap must regularly do (discharge condensate and air) and how its physical position or orientation can help or hinder this. • Consider whether covering the trap with insulation or paint would affect its ability to be inspected, serviced, or monitored for proper operation. • Ask yourself if low-pressure steam (under 10 psig) changes any basic good practice for installing steam traps, especially regarding bypasses and maintenance access.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options discuss orientation and accessibility versus those that focus mainly on appearance or pressure limits. • Check whether any choice would make inspection, maintenance, or troubleshooting of the trap more difficult (e.g., wrapped or hidden components). • Confirm if bypass lines are generally considered good practice for maintenance and emergency operation, regardless of normal steam pressure.
