Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

The Inverted Bucket Steam Trap is simply an automatic valve that opens for condensate, air and Co2 and closes for steam and it efficiently perform that basic function for long periods of time making it more economical.

Inverted bucket steam trap operates on the difference in density between steam and water. Steam entering the inverted submerged bucket causes the bucket to float which when lifted closes the discharge value. Condensate entering the trap changes the bucket to a weight that sinks and opens the valve to discharge the condensate. But unlike other mechanical traps, air and carbon dioxide are vented continuously at steam temperature through a small hole provided in the stainless steel bucket.

The heat of Inverted bucket Steam Trap is its leverage system that multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open the valve against pressure. There are no fixed pivots to create friction. It is designed to open the discharge for maximum capacity. Wearing point are reinforced for longer life. Valve and Seat are made of heat treated chrome steel. The use of different leverage ratio for each orifice size makes it possible to open the maximum size orifice at any given pressure. Each size of Inverted Bucket Steam Trap is available with different sizes of pressure changes Assemblies at different pressure intervals so that the capacity of any one size is maintained at its optimum level.
