How Venturi Steam Traps Prevent Water Hammer in Steam Systems
Water hammer is a serious issue in steam and condensate systems, often resulting in extensive damage to pipes, valves and equipment. This phenomenon occurs when pressure surges or waves form due to the sudden implosion of trapped steam or changes in direction of fluid movement, particularly when condensate is not efficiently removed. The cause of water hammer in steam systems is over pressure in the condensate lines often attributable to steam leakage through failed mechanical steam traps.
Saving costs with low maintenance and durable steam traps
To make optimal use of steam in industry, reliable condensate removal is crucial. Mechanical steam traps often struggle with wear, failure, steam loss and high maintenance costs. Venturi orifice steam traps, such as the ECOFLOW™ system from EBE Engineering, offer a low-maintenance and cost-effective alternative. 1. Increased efficiency through improved condensate drainage Leakage in mechanical […]

Common steam trap problems and how the venturi orifice overcomes them
Steam traps play a crucial role in maintaining energy efficiency within industrial settings by removing condensed water from steam systems. They come in various designs but essentially have the same function: draining condensate. However, mechanical designs are more prone to failure. These malfunctions, which often leave traps partially or fully open, result in significant energy, […]
