A steam trap is a mechanical device that expels condensate and noncondensable gases (such as air and carbon dioxide) from steam lines, with negligible loss or consumption of steam. A steam trap is an automatic valve that prevents loss of steam by trapping—and hence the name steam trap. Steam traps sense certain differences between steam, condensate, and air. The primary objective of a steam trap is to immediately get rid of the condensate. This is critical for industrial applications.
The steam trap market is projected to be valued at USD 4.11 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 4.2% between 2017 and 2022. The growth in this market can be attributed to the growing sustainability concerns, stringent regulatory framework to reduce carbon footprint, and active adoption of steam traps by end-user industries to ramp up fuel savings.
CIRCOR International, Inc. (US), Emerson Electric Co. (US), Flowserve Corporation (US), Pentair plc (US), Schlumberger N.V.
