I have specs on the coil I feel it's getting water logged cause steam trap is not able to remove condensate fast enough. Any info helps.

    need more information. The steam trap should be mounted vertically. Did it ever work? Do you know the coil capacity in Lb/hour? The trap should be sized for the coil capacity x 1.5-2.0 safety factor. Did the coil freeze internally? Check the ends of the tubes opposite the header end and see if all the tubes are hot on the ends. If not the coil could be damaged internally. Need to check trap differential pressure at inlet trap pressure-outlet trap pressure.
