Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

An inverted bucket steam trap is a type of steam trap that uses a weighted bucket to open and close a valve. The bucket is suspended in the steam line and is filled with water. When steam enters the trap, it condenses and fills the bucket with water, causing it to sink and open the valve. When the steam condenses, the water in the bucket is expelled and the bucket rises, closing the valve. This type of steam trap is used in applications where large amounts of condensate must be discharged quickly.
