🔍 Key Concepts

• Inverted bucket steam trap operation – how steam vs. condensate affects the bucket’s buoyancy • Relationship between bucket movement (rising or sinking) and the position of the discharge valve • Whether condensate discharge is intermittent vs. continuous in this type of trap

💭 Think About

• When steam enters under the bucket, does it make the bucket rise or sink, and what does that do to the valve? • As the steam condenses and the bucket changes position, at which point is the outlet passage opened to let condensate out? • Does an inverted bucket trap maintain a constant liquid level, or does the level cycle up and down as the trap works?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which part in the illustration is the bucket and which is the valve/seat linkage • Decide whether the discharge from an inverted bucket trap is cyclic (on/off) or smooth and continuous • Match the bucket motion (rising vs sinking) with opening or closing of the outlet valve based on the linkage shown

Question 1 of 20

Which of the following statements is correct concerning the operation of the bucket type steam trap shown? See illustration GS-0048.

Condensate will flow from the valve opened by the rising bucket.

The bucket will not open the valve until the trap has been completely filled with condensate.

Condensate flow is continuously controlled by the permanently maintained operating level of the bucket.

The valve is opened by the sinking bucket.
