The steam trap in Hope Deepblue's LiBr absorption chiller is a critical and irreplaceable component in steam-driven absorption chiller systems. Serving as a vital auxiliary device within the steam system, it efficiently evacuates condensate water, thereby maximizing the efficiency of steam utilization and enhancing the overall safety and reliability of the system. Its primary function is not only to discharge condensate formed within the equipment or piping but also to minimize steam loss, significantly improving the heat exchange performance and overall operational efficiency of the system.

In the process of operating a LiBr absorption chiller, steam is used to heat the LiBr solution. This heating process inevitably generates condensate. If the condensate is not discharged promptly, it can lead to a reduction in heat transfer efficiency, obstruction of steam flow, potential equipment damage, and instability of the entire system. The steam trap plays a critical role in maintaining steam in a saturated state by efficiently discharging the condensate, thus ensuring optimal heat exchange and improving the overall heating efficiency.

The steam trap developed by Hope Deepblue functions as a precise condensate control valve. It continuously adjusts the valve opening in response to real-time liquid levels, regulating the flow within the piping system and ensuring that the liquid level is maintained within the optimal operational range. This device is primarily designed for controlling condensate that requires secondary cooling. By maintaining a controlled liquid level, the steam trap ensures that the condensate within the heat exchanger remains in a subcooled state, reducing its tendency to flash and minimizing the thermal shock impact on the equipment. This results in enhanced steam utilization, reduced energy consumption, and prolonged service life of the equipment.
