Steam trap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The duty of a steam trap is to discharge condensate while not permitting the escape of live steam. A steam trap quite literally "purges" condensate, as well as air and other incondensible gases, out of the system, allowing steam to reach its destination in as dry a state/condition as possible to perform its task efficiently and economically.
