What is the disadvantage of using Thermodynamic Steam Traps for draining drying cylinders?
The Thermodynamic Steam Traps are specifically designed for draining steam headers and steam lines, they have low capacities and intermittent discharge characteristics. Also there is no air venting or steam lock release facilities. All these disadvantages lead to water logging of system space and inefficient heating resulting in increased process timing and excess steam consumption. In this situation, a Ball Float Steam Trap System Unit would be the most suitable solution.
