Steam traps
Velan steam traps provide efficient condensate discharge while retaining live steam, with advanced designs tailored for both low and intermediate capacities. These traps can incorporate check valves, optional strainers, or blow-off valves, offering a cost-effective solution that guarantees reliable performance, easy maintenance, and zero steam loss, ideal for drip, tracing, and heating applications.
The original “multi-segmented” bimetal principle actuates Velan steam traps. The individual segments of the bimetallic element act consecutively, developing forces in close relation to the saturated steam curve. This permits sensitive, efficient trap operation at all pressures.
Valve closing force of bimetallic elements follows the saturated steam curve permitting sensitive, efficient trap operation at all pressures.
Every Velan steam trap closes tightly on saturated steam temperature. There is no leakage of live steam at saturation temperature. Incoming Positive closing for long periods on dry superheated steam has enormous advantages in power plant and marine service
Integral check valve operation built-in to the main valve to prevent backflow.
