STAINLESS STEEL High Performance Inverted Bucket Thermodynamic Steam Trap

STAINLESS STEEL High Performance Inverted Bucket Thermodynamic Steam Trap

This steam trap is available in threaded and flanged types, with various diameters and pressure ratings to choose from. It is made of materials including 304 and 316L and features stable drainage, high temperature resistance, long service life, and low maintenance.

Working Principles

The steam trap primarily operates based on the density difference between steam and condensate, and the principle of buoyancy. Upon startup, condensate enters the valve body, the inverted bucket sinks, the valve opens, and condensate and air are rapidly discharged. When steam enters the valve, the inverted bucket rises due to buoyancy, causing the valve disc to close and preventing steam leakage. As steam condenses inside the valve, the buoyancy decreases, the inverted bucket sinks again, and the valve reopens to drain water. This process repeats cyclically, achieving stable drainage and effectively preventing steam loss, making it suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, and continuously operating steam systems.

Features

• Made from stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and reliable performance in high-temperature and high-pressure steam systems.

• Inverted bucket operating principle ensures stable condensate discharge while effectively preventing live steam loss during continuous operation.

• Robust internal structure provides long service life, reduced wear, and consistent operation even under fluctuating load conditions.

• Efficient air and non-condensable gas venting improves heat transfer efficiency and shortens system warm-up time.

• Simple mechanical design allows easy maintenance, low downtime, and dependable performance in demanding industrial applications

Application

steam traps are widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, power, and papermaking. For example, in chemical plants, they are used to continuously discharge condensate and prevent water hammer in reaction vessels and steam pipelines; in food and pharmaceutical production lines, they ensure stable steam heating and meet the requirements for equipment reliability and process control precision.
