Steam Trap

Steam Trap

African Valve is a dependable Steam Trap Supplier in Nigeria, delivering efficient and durable steam traps engineered to discharge condensate without steam loss. Our traps are essential in maintaining thermal efficiency, preventing water hammer, and optimizing energy usage across steam systems in industrial plants.

Function & Working

Steam traps automatically differentiate between steam and condensate, discharging the condensate while retaining the live steam within the system. They operate using mechanical, thermostatic, or thermodynamic principles to maintain pressure, reduce waste, and ensure safe and uninterrupted steam flow.

Advantages

  • High thermal efficiency through minimal steam loss

  • Prevents water hammer and pipe erosion

  • Low maintenance with long service life

  • Quick response to varying load conditions

  • Suitable for saturated and superheated steam systems

Types Offered

  • Ball Float Steam Trap

  • Bimetallic Steam Trap

  • Inverted Bucket Steam Trap
