Inverted-bucket steam trap
An inverted-bucket steam trap is a mechanical trap in which changing buoyancy of an internal bucket operates the discharge mechanism. This distinguishes it from thermodynamic and thermostatic traps, but proves neither capacity nor suitability for every service. Condensate load, backpressure, air handling, and mounting require actual model data.
