Inverted Bucket Steam Traps

Inverted Bucket Steam Traps execute a unique inverted bucket mechanism known for its reliable operation.  These traps operate based on the principle of buoyancy and leverage the unique design of an inverted bucket.

The inverted bucket steam trap consists of a hollow bucket that is open at the bottom and closed at the top. The bucket is connected to a valve mechanism that controls the flow of condensate and steam. When steam enters the trap, it fills the bucket, causing it to become buoyant and rise. As the bucket rises, the valve mechanism opens, allowing the condensate to drain out. Once the condensate is discharged, the bucket loses its buoyancy and sinks, closing the valve to prevent steam from escaping. It allows for the efficient and reliable discharge of condensate and air from steam systems. The inverted bucket design prevents steam from escaping, reducing energy loss, and maximizing the utilization of valuable steam.

As the leading manufacturer of valves, Perfect Engineering Services uses high-end material to build inverted bucket stream straps that can withstand and efficiently work under high pressure. Inverted bucket steam traps offer several advantages, including excellent air venting capabilities, resistance to water hammer, and the ability to handle varying loads and pressures. They are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, power generation, and heating systems, where efficient condensate removal is critical for optimal steam system performance.
