Inverted Bucket Steam Trap Descriptions
Inverted bucket steam trap is an automatic valve that allows condensate, air and other non-condensable gases to be discharged from the steam system while holding or trapping the steam in the system. Inverted bucket steam trap has effective separation of condensate from steam (the steam flows in from bottom of the trap through a U type channel), and no steam leak. Inverted bucket steam trap opens float withstands water hammer. Air vent on the bucket top can effectively prevent steam locking and air locking. (Non-condensable air at high temperature can be discharged as well) Flowspec Luokai manufactures the inverted bucket steam trap with threaded ends and flanged ends of ASME B16.5, JIS10K, EN1092-2, etc.
