There are basically two different types of steam traps: thermal and mechanical. The steam traps must cope with varying capacity and pressure and close for steam ( Armatec, 2004). Steam traps are used to remove the condensate, and these are also used to ventilate the system during start-up and during operation. In the steam distribution system condensate is formed, due to cooling of the steam. The pressure in the steam distribution system is usually between 2 and 12 bar, where steam with a pressure of between 2 and 5 bar is called low-pressure steam, and medium-pressure steam has a pressure of between 9 and 12 bar ( SFI, 1990). The steam distribution system transports the steam to the consumers. Jakob Rosenqvist, in Introduction to Industrial Energy Efficiency, 2020 8.1.4 Steam distribution system
