Thermodynamic Steam Trap Manufacturer in Canada
A thermodynamic steam trap is a reliable mechanical device used to automatically discharge condensate and non-condensable gases from steam systems while preventing live steam loss. Operating on the principle of thermodynamic energy differences, these traps are compact, durable, and ideal for high-pressure, intermittent, and variable-load steam applications.
SVR Global is a leading Thermodynamic Steam Trap Manufacturer and Supplier in Canada, providing engineered steam trap solutions for power generation, petrochemical, chemical processing, manufacturing utilities, and industrial steam distribution networks. Our thermodynamic steam traps are designed for stable condensate removal, minimal maintenance, and long service life in both standard and severe-service industrial applications.
With extensive experience supporting EPC contractors, plant operators, and maintenance teams across Canada, SVR Global supplies thermodynamic steam traps that meet strict project specifications and international quality standards.
What Is a Thermodynamic Steam Trap?
A thermodynamic steam trap uses a disc that cycles open and closed based on the velocity and pressure difference between condensate and steam. As condensate enters the trap, the disc lifts to allow discharge. When steam enters, the high-velocity flow creates a pressure differential above the disc, forcing it closed and preventing live steam loss. Once the steam condenses inside the trap, the disc reopens for the next discharge cycle.
Thermodynamic steam traps are suitable for high-pressure mains, drip legs, and tracing lines, providing fast response and low-maintenance operation.
Thermodynamic Steam Trap Applications in Industrial Steam Systems
SVR Global thermodynamic steam traps are used across a wide range of industrial steam systems, including:
- Condensate discharge from steam mains and headers
- Drip legs to remove accumulated condensate
- Steam tracing lines for freeze protection and heat maintenance
- Process equipment such as heat exchangers, turbines, and reboilers
- High-pressure intermittent condensate applications
These applications require traps capable of accurate discharge under variable loads, resistance to water hammer, and reliable operation in outdoor or harsh environments.
