Information About Steam Valves

Spence steam valves are basically used to control flow and pressure levels of steam and heated water vapor. These are usually made of brass, aluminum, cast iron, bonze, ductile irons, steel, copper or stainless steel. There are different types of these pr... Read >

Steam Trap Basics

All traps have almost the same functions. They allow condensate and non-condensable gases to get out while holding the steam in a device a process of heat transfer occurs. There is a regulator that controls the input of the process and steam. It revert... Read >

In Choosing Steam Trap Items

It is easy to choose a unit for your home use when it comes to heating and air conditioning; there are only a few factors we need to consider. Admit it or not, the name defines the product most of the time. We look for the brand name on top of most things... Read >

Categories of Steam Traps

There are three primary categories with regards to steam straps; mechanical, thermostatic, and thermodynamic. Preference depends on how it will be used. A steam trap’s mission is to remove any results of condensation. This should be adapted to the appl... Read >

Controls And Valves In Everyday Life

Every day we see science at work: from breakfast to bed; from home to work and back again; from sidewalks we walk into privately to the busy malls and streets. All these relates to man’s need to eat, drink, and breathe. With the air we breathe in mind... Read >

Hoffman For Your Steam Traps

Air, water, and food are most essential for human existence. Air is mentioned as first among three because when lacking, its fatality spreads faster. As science tells us, man can only survive without air for three hours. So wherever you are, air is a nece... Read >

Steam Traps Where to Get Them

Winter is coming up and steam helps keep temperature a little bit warmer. When the heater takes a little bit longer to warm up a place then there might be something wrong with the pipe where steam comes out. Having it checked as soon as possible will save... Read >

Finding the Right Steam Trap

Steam traps are used to release condensate and non-condensable gases without losing significant amount of steam. Many applications which require a steam system utilize a steam trap because it allows the application to use steam to its maximum benefits and... Read >

Maintaining Steam Traps

The purpose of a steam trap is to lock in steam in the heating element, releasing condensate and other condensable gases from the system. So when steam traps fail, naturally they affect the entire system causing it to waste a lot of energy and fuel. You’l... Read >

Types of Steam Valves

What is the one thing that kettles, boilers and industrial heating systems have in common? Steam. We use steam everyday for a variety of purposes such as energy storage, sterilization, and generating electricity. Steam is also used in machines like steam ... Read >

The Right Steam Trap for the Job

Steam traps consist of three basic functions. Allow condensate to be discharged when necessary, to discharge air and other non-condensable gases, and to prevent the loss of steam. The larger the size of the steam trap the better, as they will discharge co... Read >

The Invention That Transforms

Every steam system needs a steam trap for it is the connection between superior steam and condensate control, maintaining steam in the course for utmost use of heat but letting go of condensate and non condensable gases at the right moment. The result bro... Read >

Blow Off Steam From Heat Transfer Traps

An ingenious mechanism called a steam trap is needed when setting free condensate - the liquid phase generated by the condensation of steam – and non condensable gases with unimportant usage or loss of vapor. These traps unlock, adjust or lock automatical... Read >

In Choosing a Steam Trap

What is a Steam Trap? Steam traps are devices mechanically designed to remove condensate and non-condensable gases like carbon dioxide from a flow of steam. When Is It Used? In general, steam traps automatically regulate themselves. Valves regu... Read >

Controls and Radiator Valves: Made for Your Comfort
