Inverted Bucket Steam Trap Animation

Steam traps inverted buckets 2 206 steam traps inverted buckets cast iron inverted bucket steam traps b series the trap contains an inverted bucket mechanism which responds to the dif ference in density between steam and condensate.

Inverted bucket steam trap animation.

An inverted bucket floats in condensate that surrounds the bucket. The trap is normally open with the plug pulled down by the bucket s weight. Up to 4 400 lb hr 2 000 kg hr. Liquid expansion steam traps.

The liquid expansion steam trap employs a liquid expansion device to discharge condensate at a predefined temperature. 800 813 series inverted bucket steam traps. To review a specific inverted bucket steam trap select a series and go to the menu. Inverted bucket traps rely on the density difference between steam and water to drain condensate as it forms.

In inverted bucket steam traps the bucket within the trap is attached to a lever that opens and closes the trap valve in response to the bucket s motion. As the bucket moves up and down in the condensate a linkage connected to the bucket closes or opens a discharge valve trapping the condensate or allowing it to escape. When steam starts flowing it goes through a hole in the bucket. When steam or air flows into the underside of the inverted bucket and condensate surrounds it on the outside the steam causes the bucket to become buoyant and rise.

Request a quote request a steam system assessment. Steam eventually condenses the bucket loses its buoyancy and it falls opening the seat. 200 series inverted bucket steam traps. The discharge action is cyclic.

Up to 20 000 lb hr 9 072 kg hr. Inverted bucket steam traps rely on the difference in density between steam and condensate to drain condensate as it forms. Inverted bucket traps are composed of a stainless steel bucket valve mechanism assembly and seat and cover gasket. Inverted bucket traps are the most robust type of the mechanical traps.

Condensate is discharged close to steam tempera ture. Inverted bucket steam traps. Series h additional inlet and outlet features models 3 4 2 allows positioning options for easy service additional inlet provides a convenient location for. As more steam flows the bucket become buoyant and the trap closes.
