Condensate load to determine capacity of steam trap Today we discuss how to calculate condensate load in order to determine the required capacity of a steam trap. The condensate load is directly related to the amount of energy transferred from the steam to the process. Process plants use steam as a […]

What is a steam trap failure? When a steam trap fails, it does not discharge condensate efficiently. You may observe steam leaking from the steam trap even when condensate is not being discharged. As steam leakage is unsightly and dangerous, a plant would normally be motivated to correct this […]
