The inverted bucket steam
traps employ a simple and well proven principle which relies
on the difference in density between steam (a vapor) and
condensate (a liquid). They have a robust design and
incorporate a simple density sensitive bucket and lever
mechanism.
The design means that the
traps are rugged and a wide range of internals can be
installed for precise matching of operating pressures and
loads. As the inverted bucket trap is sensitive to density
it ensures that condensate is discharged at steam saturation
temperature and there is no backing up of condensate within
the system.
A wide range of body
materials, including maintenance free models (which have
stainless steel bodies and internals), make the inverted
bucket design suitable for many applications.
Correct installation will
give trouble free operation and ensure that the trap
performs efficiently for many years. |
