Steam losses and process inefficiency can result if steam traps are improperly sized or applied. Steam traps, which can be mechanical, thermostatic, or thermodynamic, should be selected on the basis of the pressure requirements, the minimum condensate load, turndown ratio, differential between steamline and return line pressure, and the trap design. Examples illustrate appropriate applications. A glossary of steam-trap terms and a directory of 25 steam-trap manufacturers accompany the article. (DCK)
