Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

An Industrial Inverted Bucket Steam Trap is a type of steam trap designed to capture and hold water being used to cool a process or equipment. This type of steam trap is typically used in factories, manufacturing plants, and other industrial facilities located in areas prone to high humidity levels. When the humidity level in an industrial facility reaches a certain point, it can cause the condensation of water on the surfaces of the equipment located inside the facility. When this condensation occurs, it can cause a build-up of steam that can cause damage to the equipment and can even lead to a potential fire. To prevent this from happening, an inverted bucket steam trap is typically used to capture and hold the water being used to cool the equipment. This type of steam trap can be used to collect and hold water for up to 24 hours before it has to be emptied. When an inverted bucket steam trap is used, it is important to ensure that it is installed correctly to capture and hold water effectively.

Features

  • Inverted bucket steam traps must be protected from freezing under subzero ambient conditions.
  • Inverted bucket steam traps are suitable for operating at fairly high pressures.
  • It is important to maintain water seal in inverted bucket steam traps.
  • Inverted buck steam traps have limited capacity as far as venting of cold air during start up is concerned.
  • Loss of water seal will defeat the functioning of the inverted bucket steam trap.
  • All inverted bucket steam traps incur some amount of steam loss (bubbling through the vent hole).
  • The condensate discharge is not continuous from inverted bucket steam traps. Hence they have reduced heat transfer efficiency.
  • Inverted bucket steam traps have a fairly high resistance to water hammer since the condensate / steam is lead to a reasonably large volume of the bucket.
