Floating ball steam trap is a common automatic control valve commonly used in steam pipeline systems to discharge condensate and other impurities generated in the pipeline. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the principle and structure of floating ball steam traps.
1、 Principle
The principle of a floating ball steam trap is to control the opening and closing of the valve through the rise and fall of the floating ball, thereby controlling the discharge of condensate and other impurities. When condensed water is generated in the pipeline, it naturally sinks to the drain valve by gravity, enters the main body of the drain valve, filters out impurities through the internal isolation structure and filter screen, and then enters the floating ball chamber. When the condensate enters the float chamber, the float gradually rises with the increase of water level until the water level exceeds the preset upper limit. At this time, the control lever on the float will press the…
