?What is an Inverted bucket Steam Trap
Inverted bucket traps are the most robust type of the mechanical traps. They are able to resist water hammer and can be more effective in difficult operations.With check valve fitted in the inlet, they can be .used with superheated steam. Also, in addition to this informations, they are available with a wide selection of valve orifices for precise pressure and load matching.
Inverted Bucket steam traps operate as a function of difference in buoyancy of steam and condensate.
Operating Pressure Range: 0.5 to 40 barg
Operating Temperature Range: 0 to 400 oC
Capacity Range: Up to 600 kg/h
Advantages of Float Traps:
-
Simple construction and highly durable with very less or negligible wearing.
-
This type of steam trap can withstand with high pressure of the steam system.
-
Can be used in superheated steam lines with NRV installed at the inlet of the trap.
-
Resistance to water hammer.
-
Corrosion resistance.
-
Resistance against the dirt of steam because of inbuilt strainer in the bucket.
Limitations:
- Can’t sustain in low-temperature area, can freeze in a cold environment.
- Priming required before startup.
- Possibility of steam leakage with low load.
- The higher temperature of superheated steam can be a cause of losing traps water seal.
