| What is a Steam Trap? | ||
|
A steam trap is used to remove condensate (water) from the steam lines. The most common type of trap is an inverted bucket trap shown on the left. Steam and water enter at "E" and initially the steam will push the inverted bucket "A" up. When the trap fills with water, the inverted bucket "A" will drop and the water will be blown out into a condensate line at "B". The bucket then rises again and the hole at "B" closes. The cycle repeats itself . |
