Steam traps

A special type of valve which prevents the passage of steam but allow condensate to flow
 steam will be contained in the heating line until it condenses or give away its latent heat.

Type 1. mechanical- contains a ball and float arrangement.
Type 2 thermostatic- it is having a oil filled element or bimetallic strip or bellow which expands and closes valve at high temperature

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
