Electronic steam traps provide the continuous-flow condensate drainage of the
orifice-type systems but improves on them by eliminating any steam loss, allowing
rapid system startup, and continuous purging of non-condensable gases. Electronic
steam traps also supports widely varying condensate loads and, as a computerized
system, provides a platform for integrated measurement, monitoring, communication
and control.
Electronic Trap Advantages Over Mechanical Traps
Electronic traps have no moving parts or small orifices to wear or plug.
The condensate discharge valve of the electronic trap allows constant flow back to the boiler room.
These traps can be operated automatically locally or from a remote computer.
There are no repair kits to purchase and install and they are very low maintenance.
Trouble shooting the steam system can be accomplished rapidly utilizing the line
monitoring and or the trap alarm.
Steam user equipment can be monitored from any location via a local area network (LAN).
The electronic trap eliminates the possibility of water hammer.
The electronic steam trap allows non-condensable gasses to be purged from the steam user equipment.
