steam trap, condensate drain

Steam traps

A steam trap (condensate drain) is an essential part of every steam system: it keeps the steam within the process to make maximum use of the heat, while releasing condensate and non-condensable gases at the right time.

Steam traps – product group overview


No steam system is complete without this indispensable element, the steam trap. It is the most important link in the condensate line, connecting steam use with condensate return.

A steam trap literally “cleans” condensate (as well as air and other non-condensable gases) out of the system, allowing the steam to reach its destination in the driest possible condition so that it can do its job efficiently and economically. The amount of condensate a steam trap has to handle can vary considerably.

We supply steam traps based on different operating principles – temperature difference, flow velocity difference or density difference – and every one of our products stands for quality!

By operating principle, they can be:

  • thermostatic (bimetallic, capsule)
  • thermodynamic
  • mechanical (float)
