steam trap for a superheated steam network 1

[oil0128]

Hi Guys,

I am going to consider steam traps for a 20 barg superheated steam network. I do believe that for start up of the lines I have to consider steam traps, but I don't know what is the criteria for the type and distances between steam traps. Would you please guide me.

Best regrds

Go to the spirax-sarco website, there is a free steam course.

You will need more than just steam traps - you will need proper layout which should include "drip legs".

I absolutely agree with europipe - go to the spirax-sarco website for free details. What is even better, is to get a copy of their handbook "The Steam and Condensate Loop - An engineer's best practice guide for saving energy". This consolidates all the website information into one book - about 1000 pages plus/minus. It's easier to find the information you want than trying to page through hundreds of web pages. Cost is about USD100 - an investment that will pay off time and again. And despite the title, it's about MUCH more than a guide to saving energy - it's a design bible!
