A steam trap is an automatic device designed to eliminate condensate and non-condensable gases from a steam system while ensuring that live steam is not released. Functioning as an automatic valve, it opens to permit condensate discharge and closes to safeguard against live steam leakage. The presence of steam traps is crucial for the efficient functioning of steam systems.
