Steam Trap Manufacturer in Canada
Steam Trap Manufacturer in Canada
SVR Global is a Steam Trap Manufacturer in Canada, supplying engineered products for efficient steam and condensate management. Our steam traps are designed to discharge condensate, air, and non-condensable gases without losing live steam, ensuring safety and energy efficiency in industries across Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Alberta, and other regions.
What is a Steam Trap?
A steam trap is an automatic valve that removes condensate and gases from steam systems while preventing live steam from escaping. In every steam distribution line, steam cools and condenses into water. If condensate is not removed, it can cause:
- Water hammer, damaging pipes and equipment
- Reduced heat transfer, lowering process efficiency
- Corrosion and scaling, caused by oxygen and carbon dioxide in the condensate
Steam traps are designed to distinguish between steam and condensate using three engineering principles:
- Temperature Difference – Condensate is cooler than steam, allowing thermostatic traps to discharge it.
- Density Difference – Mechanical traps with floats or buckets operate based on the density variation between steam and water.
- Kinetic Energy – Thermodynamic traps detect velocity differences between steam and condensate.
- This ensures continuous condensate removal, proper air venting, reduced steam loss, and stable system performance.
Functions and Working of Steam Traps
The primary functions of a steam trap include:
- Condensate Removal – Discharges water formed by steam condensation
- Air Venting – Eliminates air and non-condensable gases during operation
- Energy Optimization – Prevents unnecessary steam leakage
- System Protection – Minimizes water hammer and equipment stress
Working Principle:
A steam trap opens when condensate or gases are present and closes when steam is detected. Depending on the design, this is achieved using mechanical movement, thermal expansion, or pressure-based thermodynamic action.
Key Components of a Steam Trap
- Body & Cover – Manufactured from cast steel, stainless steel, or ductile iron
- Valve & Seat – Precision-machined for sealing and durability
- Float, Disc, or Bucket Mechanism – Detects pressure or condensate level changes
- Spring or Thermostatic Element – Enables accurate modulation
- Strainer (Optional) – Filters debris to extend service life
- Inlet & Outlet Ports – Designed for smooth flow and easy installation
