Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Which type of valve is suitable for steam and condensate systems?
This depends on various factors such as: pressure, temperature, leakage class and quality of steam and the number of actuations. A Piston valve, ball valve, globe valve/bellow valve, butterfly valve and finally various applications with Double Isolation and Bleed can be considered.
What is the function of a steam trap?
A steam trap primarily stops steam. A steam trap can also be used to drain condensate from a steam line, heat exchanger, tracing line or other application. Finally, they can also serve to drain non-condensable gases.
Do steam traps need to be checked?
Yes! Periodic inspection of steam traps is very important. If a steam trap fails, it has negative consequences for your steam and condensate system and your processes. A steam trap will generally fail by leaking or clogging, each with different consequences. The lifespan of steam traps varies greatly (from a few weeks to decades). It depends on quality, but even more so on installation methods and external causes. If the average lifespan is 10 years, a 10% failure per year is to be expected. At least an annual inspection is recommended from various organizations (UNFCC - AM0017, among others). Ask KLINGER for advice and a proposal for an inspection.
How do you recognize water hammer?
Water hammer can be recognized by a ticking sound or even heavy knocks in the installation. These water hammerings can occur in various places in the installation.
What types of steam traps are there?
Divided by operating principles, there are the following types: Float (Float and Thermostatic), Inverted bucket, Thermostatic (bimetal/bellow) and Thermosdynamic et al. Attend one of our Steam and Condensate training courses to extend your knowledge in this area.
What are trap valve stations?
Trap Valve Stations, also known as condensate collection stations, allow condensate traps to be safely blocked in, serviced and returned to service.
