inverted bucket steam trap
Other Products
I. Introduction:
The 983F inverted bucket steam trap operates on the principle of the density difference between condensate and steam. Its internal structure consists of an inverted bucket connected by a lever system, which overcomes steam pressure to switch the inverted bucket type. The interior of the steam trap has an inverted bucket as the liquid level sensing element, with the opening of the inverted bucket facing downward. When the device starts up, air and low-temperature condensate appear in the pipeline. At this time, the steam trap is fully open, and air and low-temperature condensate are quickly discharged, allowing the device to heat up rapidly. When steam enters the inverted bucket, the inverted bucket generates upward buoyancy, and the inverted bucket connected to the lever drives the valve core to close the valve. A small hole is drilled in the inverted bucket to automatically exhaust air. When part of the steam is discharged through the small hole and another part of the steam forms condensate, the inverted bucket loses buoyancy and sinks downward. The inverted bucket connected to the lever drives the valve core to open the valve. When steam enters the inverted bucket again, the valve closes again, working in a cycle to discharge water intermittently.
II. Product Features:
1. All moving parts in the inner cavity are made of stainless steel, which are wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
2. Since steam cannot reach the valve seat hole sealed by water, there is no steam loss, achieving high efficiency and energy saving.
3. The inverted bucket will not be damaged or flattened, is not afraid of water hammer, and has a long service life.
4. The top of the inverted bucket is equipped with an exhaust hole, which has good continuous air exhaust performance and will not cause cold lag or air blockage.
5. The inverted bucket steam trap is not affected by back pressure and can work well under high back pressure.
6. The inverted bucket steam trap is reliable in operation, with only two moving parts (the lever and the inverted bucket), so it will not jam.
7. The valve seat and valve disc are located at the top of the valve. The valve disc allows dirt to pass through during switching, providing good self-cleaning performance and no dirt-related problems.
III. Installation:
1. The steam trap should be installed below the heating equipment to facilitate the automatic inflow of condensate.
2. Before installing the steam trap, the pipeline should be purged with steam to remove debris inside.
3. Install it according to the flow direction marked on the valve body.
4. Mechanical steam traps should be installed horizontally.
5. When installing a steam trap, it is generally necessary to consider installing a bypass valve and a detection valve.
6. Some steam traps do not come with a built-in filter, so a Y-strainer should be considered for additional installation.
7. The steam trap should be insulated; for bimetallic steam traps, approximately 1 meter of bare pipe should be reserved.
IV. Structural Features:
Widely used in steam pipes of industrial heating equipment such as papermaking, textiles, food, petroleum, and chemical industries. Its special structure:
1. Simple structure, less prone to failure. No pin or hinge structure, no fixed wear, and excellent energy-saving effect. The wear-resistant chrome steel valve seat and stainless steel structure ensure a long service life.
2. Intermittent discharge can wash away all impurities, no dirt accumulation, and automatic air exhaust.
3. A variety of orifice options are available to achieve the maximum drainage flow under different pressures.
4. All internal parts are installed on the valve cover, making maintenance convenient.
