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.
