The ProTech Steam Trap Replacement Device

Traditional steam traps rely on an opening and closing cycle to allow condensate to pass but prevent steam from doing so as well. They are purposely oversized for the intended applications so that they may be sold with little, if any, technical or application support required. It is not uncommon for a trap to have a capacity for hundreds of pounds of condensate per hour when the actual load is only a few pounds per hour.  When a traditional trap begins leaking steam or fails open, the energy loss is significant.  Our approach is to provide technical support and evaluate the intended application thus allowing us to design a trap to meet its specific requirements. Proficient Technologies, Inc. has taken the best elements of orifice technology and modern engineering principles to design a more efficient (U.S. Dept. of Energy Study) and reliable steam trap that requires much less maintenance than others on the market. Once installed the potential for a leaking or failed open trap, and corresponding energy loss, is eliminated.
