Steam Traps - Inverted Bucket - TIB | BLU ZAC

The inverted bucket type of steam trap is created for standard and special applications, designed to the customer’s specifications, welded body.

Steam traps suitable for high pressures and capacities, usable for all applications.

How it works:

1. The bucket is placed on the base, the shutter is opened; in the steam trap there is no fluid of any kind.
2. Start-up: when the condensate begins to circulate, the bucket is prevented from floating and the steam trap eliminates the excess condensate.
3. As the system heats up, the condensate reduces and steam starts to arrive, accumulating inside the vessel, trapped under the inverted bucket, which allows it to float on the condensate and keep the shutter closed.
4. As the steam condenses, the bucket sinks, returning to the base of the vessel where it opens the escape valve, permitting the internal pressure to discharge the accumulated condensate.
