Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

GMK VALVE Inverted Bucket Steam Trap uses a proven mechanical design for reliable condensate removal. Its simple bucket mechanism provides dependable steam control in demanding industrial applications.

The trap uses an inverted bucket and a lever mechanism to control the valve. Therefore, changes in steam and condensate levels automatically open or close the valve.

When steam enters the inverted bucket, the bucket becomes buoyant and moves upward. As a result, the lever mechanism closes the valve and prevents live steam from escaping.

As condensate fills the trap, the bucket loses buoyancy and moves downward. The lever then opens the valve and allows condensate to discharge from the system.

DESCRIPTION

How Does an Inverted Bucket Steam Trap Work?

An Inverted Bucket Steam Trap separates condensate from steam through changes in bucket buoyancy. The bucket rises when steam enters and falls when condensate fills the trap.

This movement operates the valve through a mechanical lever system. Therefore, the trap automatically responds to changing steam and condensate conditions.

A vent hole in the bucket helps discharge air and non-condensable gases. Moreover, continuous venting supports efficient steam system operation and improves condensate removal.

The simple mechanical design contains only a few moving components. As a result, it reduces the risk of sticking, binding, and mechanical blockage.

Reliable Inverted Bucket Steam Trap Design

GMK VALVE Inverted Bucket Steam Trap features an open-bottom bucket design for reliable operation. This construction helps the trap withstand water hammer and demanding steam conditions.

Moreover, critical wear areas receive reinforced construction to support long service life. The robust design allows the trap to operate reliably under repeated cycling.

The simple mechanism also makes inspection and maintenance more convenient. Therefore, users can maintain reliable steam system performance with practical servicing requirements.
