Steam Trap
Aarya Sales supplies a wide range of steam traps in India, designed to automatically discharge condensate and non-condensable gases from steam systems while preventing the loss of live steam. This ensures optimal energy efficiency and smooth system operation.
Steam traps operate based on differences in temperature, density, or velocity between steam and condensate, allowing automatic opening and closing without manual intervention. They play a critical role in maintaining system performance and protecting equipment.
These valves are available in three main types: mechanical, thermostatic, and thermodynamic, each suited to specific applications and operating conditions. Sourced from trusted manufacturers, steam traps are widely used in power plants, process industries, HVAC systems, and steam distribution networks, offering reliable performance, energy savings, and long service life.
Steam Trap Supplier in India — Aarya Sales
Steam traps are automatic devices that discharge condensate and non-condensable gases from steam lines while preventing the loss of live steam. Properly selected and maintained steam traps reduce energy waste, prevent water hammer, and protect heat exchange equipment. Aarya Sales supplies thermodynamic, float & thermostatic, thermostatic (bimetallic/bellows), and inverted bucket steam traps in sizes 15 NB to 100 NB, pressure ratings up to 250 bar.
Body materials: Cast Iron, Carbon Steel, Forged Steel, SS 316. Standards: IS 7389, API 4H, ISO 6704. IBR-approved steam traps available. Applications: steam mains, steam jacketing, heat exchangers, tracing lines, turbine drain lines, and process steam distribution systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
A steam trap is an automatic valve that removes condensate (water formed when steam gives up heat) and air/CO₂ from steam systems without losing live steam. Without steam traps, condensate accumulates causing water hammer, corrosion, reduced heat transfer efficiency, and potential equipment damage.
(1) Thermodynamic disc trap — compact, handles high pressure, works on Bernoulli's principle, good for superheated steam; (2) Float & Thermostatic (F&T) — continuous condensate discharge, also vents air, good for heat exchangers; (3) Inverted bucket — robust, handles waterhammer, suitable for high pressure; (4) Bimetallic thermostatic — low-maintenance, good for tracing lines and jacketing; (5) Bellows thermostatic — used for air venting and low-pressure applications.
Key selection factors: (1) Condensate load (kg/h), (2) Steam pressure and temperature, (3) Back pressure, (4) Application type (drip leg, heat exchanger, tracing, turbine drain), (5) Required response to air and CO₂. Thermodynamic traps for steam mains; F&T traps for heat exchangers; bimetallic for tracing. Our engineers can size and select steam traps for your system.
We supply steam traps from low pressure (0.5 bar) up to high pressure (250 bar) in thermodynamic, inverted bucket, and bimetallic designs. IBR-certified steam traps for boiler and steam system compliance are available in forged steel for pressures above 3.5 kg/cm².
A failed-open trap wastes live steam (indicated by continuous steam at the trap test point or high temperature downstream). A failed-closed trap allows condensate flooding (identified by water hammer, poor heating performance, or cold downstream equipment). Ultrasonic testing and infrared thermography are used for trap surveys.
Yes. Forged steel steam traps for use in IBR-classified boiler and steam pipework are available with IBR Form III-C inspection certificates. All IBR steam traps are tested to Indian Boiler Regulations and come with complete traceability documentation.
