Slide What is a steam trap? • Mechanical traps (Ball float, inverted bucket, Thermodynamic, Free float, Thermostatic) are the conventional technologies but have moving parts that will fail.

• Hydrodynamic traps use a new technology based on fluid dynamics and have no moving parts to fail.
In steam systems condensate is formed in the distribution system whilst is the steam travels through the pipework and in various heat exchangers and applications of the process. It is imperative that this condensate is removed and returned to the boiler house. A steam trap is a device to efficiently remove the condensate from a steam system without allowing live steam to escape. Why hydrodynamic technology?
