Trap installation is appropriate, the normal operation of traps and equipment production efficiency has a direct impact. Traps must be installed according to the requirements of the regular installation, to make traps and equipment to achieve the best efficiency. 1. Before installing the trap, be sure to use pressurized steam to purge the pipe to remove debris from the pipe. 2. Traps should be installed before the filter to ensure that the trap is not blocked by plumbing, regularly clean the filter. 3. Before and after the trap to install the valve, traps at any time to facilitate repair. 4 condensate flow to be consistent with the installation of steam trap signs. 5. Traps should be installed at the lowest point of the device outlet, timely discharge of condensate, to avoid the pipeline to produce vapor resistance. 6. If there is no place to install the trap on the lowest part of the equipment, add a water return bend (condensate lift joint) at the lowest point of the water outlet to lift the water level and then install the steam trap to avoid generating the gas resistance. 7. The trap outlet pipe should not be immersed in water. (If immersed in water, holes should be drilled in the bend to destroy the vacuum and prevent the soil from sucking back.) 8. The mechanical trap should be installed horizontally. Steam traps do not install in series. 10. Each device should be installed traps. 11. Thermostatic traps need more than one meter without overheating supercooling, other forms of trap should be as close to the device. 12. Drum drying (with siphon type) equipment selection traps, please specify: Use steam trap with anti-trap, to avoid the device to produce gas locks. 13. After the trap if the condensate recovery, trap outlet pipe should be accessed from the top of Explorer Explorer to reduce back pressure to prevent back flow. 14. After the trap if condensate recovery, different pressure levels of the pipeline to be recycled separately. 15. After the trap condensate recovery manifold can not climb, will increase the back pressure trap. 16. After the trap condensate into the recovery manifold before the installation of check valve to prevent condensation of water back. 17. Install steam traps with steam traps, set a condensate trap close to the main pipe radius to the main pipe, and then use the small pipe to lead to the trap. 18. Mechanical traps do not have long-term, to remove the drain screw to put the water inside to prevent it from freezing. 19. Found trap run steam, timely sewage and clean the filter, according to the actual use of ground inspection, in case of failure to repair at any time. At least once a year to repair, remove the impurities inside. Steam traps are considered as a small accessory throughout the steam system, but have a significant impact on system operation and economic performance. Therefore, maintenance and overhaul of steam traps are also of paramount importance, with full attention paid to the importance of steam traps in production. Duty maintenance, so that traps are often in good working condition, in order to ensure the best energy-saving effect and improve economic efficiency.
