The Watson McDaniel USIB inverted bucket trap is primarily used in drip and tracer applications. Inverted bucket traps can handle superheated steam when a check valve is used. These traps are also used on unit heaters, laundry equipment, and other small process equipment where slow start-up due to poor air handling capability can be tolerated.
HOW IT WORKS
When there is condensate in the system, the inverted bucket inside the steam trap sits on the bottom of the trap due to its inherent weight. This allows condensate to enter the trap and to be discharged through the seat orifice located at the top. When steam enters the trap, the bucket floats to the surface and closes off the discharge valve containing the steam in the system.
Eventually steam is bled off through a small hole in the top of the bucket causing the bucket to sink which repeats the cycle.
