An under-designed steam trap will___________________?
Correct answer: C. Back up condensate and cause water hammer in steam line
- A. Waste steam
- B. Destroy itself of acceleration wear due to rapid recycling
- C. Back up condensate and cause water hammer in steam line
- D. None of these
Explanation
An undersized steam trap cannot discharge condensate at the required rate, so condensate accumulates in the line. This backing-up can produce water hammer and interfere with steam flow.
