The steam traps essentially consist of a body, an operating element
and a seat and plug. They are controlled by temperature
and pressure and operate according to the vapor-pressure principle
(liquid evaporation).
Steam traps are commonly referred to as quick-acting condensate
drains.
The operating element of the steam trap is a metal bellows
which is filled with a water/alcohol mixture. Any temperature
changes at the metal bellows result in a corresponding change
in valve plug position, meaning either a restriction or increase
of the free area between the seat and plug.
