What Are Different Types of Steam Traps - Boiling Point

Amazing video. Explained all pros and cons neatly.

I used to work in a hospital. All along the main steam line there would be a chitter chatter tapping noise, it sounded like morse code but not beeps. A guy I worked with said it was the traps on the drip legs. It seems like the only plausible explanation, the valve opening and shutting. However, if there are hundreds of taps/chatters a minute, the valve flickering open and shut like that, does that not suggest something’s wrong with the valve? Or is it normal for a trap to chatter like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I tried google but can only find pages discussing using electronic listening devices to hear through the static whether or not a traps functioning correctly

ACTUALLY, THERE ARE ONLY THREE TYPES OF TRAPS, THERMODYNAMICS, THERMOSTATICS AND MECHANICAL. THE BUCKET TRAPS FALLS INTO THE MECHANICAL TRAPS SAME AS FLOATS TRAPS.

Is there an easy solution to long distance condensate return that has to go back up and over a building? Our boilers were moved further away from where equipment that has steam traps are and we dont get return anymore.

I work on big laundry steam irons at my work. and I can tell tell you those thermodynamic steam traps aren't cheap even though your video says they are. We have 16 of them with everyone having a different size orifice. They run over 200$ brand new each.

Fun fact, you didn’t search for this video.

I work industrial maintenance see this erry day and work close with Johnson controls

The guy knows so much about AC that he let his condenser coil get plugged with dirt and buried the unit in mulch. Haha. I hope he does the install himself . it will just cost him more money. Great video.

Please do away with the bad music.
