Miyawaki steam traps and system components
Proven technology for condensate removal, pressure regulation, and steam system optimization backed by our expert technical support and system surveys.
Steam Trap Surveys
Comprehensive assessments of your entire steam trap population using state of the art technology to identify failed or leaky traps. Our certified technicians evaluate each trap's operational status, while also verifying the surrounding piping is designed to allow for efficient operation of the steam trap. Application- specific guidance provided by our experts ensures that customers receive detailed reports with proper trap replacement recommendations, including areas for system improvement. Maximize energy savings and prevent equipment damage through proactive steam trap management.
Inverted Bucket Steam Traps
Inverted bucket design provides reliable condensate discharge in high-pressure steam applications. These mechanical traps operate through differential density between steam and condensate, offering excellent performance in superheated steam conditions. Robust construction withstands water hammer while maintaining tight shutoff to prevent steam loss. Ideal for main steam lines, turbine drains, and high-pressure process applications.
Temperature Control Traps
Thermostatic operation automatically adjusts to maintain optimal condensate temperature for maximum heat transfer efficiency. Adjustable discharge temperature accommodates varying subcooling requirements These traps prevent condensate backup in steam piping and process equipment while ensuring complete air venting during startup. Self-regulating design responds to load variations without manual adjustment. Perfect for tracer lines, steam coils, and temperature-critical processes.
Pressure Regulators
Precision steam pressure reduction and control ensures consistent downstream pressure regardless of inlet fluctuations. Direct-acting design provides fast response to load changes while maintaining stable pressure control. Available in various pressure ranges to match specific application requirements. Essential for protecting downstream equipment and optimizing process steam usage.
Floating Ball Steam Traps
Floating ball design continuously discharges condensate as it forms, preventing accumulation and water hammer. Self-adjusting operation handles variable loads from zero to maximum capacity without steam loss. Compact design with no linkages or levers to maintain, ensuring long service life. Excellent for equipment requiring immediate condensate removal including heat exchangers and steam heaters.
Thermostatic Steam Traps
Bellows or bimetallic element design that responds to temperature differences between steam and condensate for reliable operation. Superior air venting capability ensures rapid equipment warm-up and prevents air binding. Optimal for steam tracing, radiators, and applications with light condensate loads.
Air Vents
Automatic air removal devices eliminate air and non-condensable gases from steam systems to maintain heat transfer efficiency. Thermostatic operation ensures continuous air venting while preventing steam loss during normal operation. Strategic placement protects against corrosion and improves system startup times. Critical for maintaining steam quality in heat exchangers, steam mains, and process equipment.
Air Traps
Air traps are designed to discharge condensate from air piping, gas and compressed air systems, and receiver tanks. Offered in thermodynamic, ball float, and inverted-bucket designs, Miyawaki air traps are suited to handle a wide variety of pressures and flow capacity requirements.
