    Inverted Bucket Idh Lf2

    The inverted bucket steam trap uses a floating bucket mechanism. When steam is present, the bucket floats and closes the valve at the top of the trap. When condensate builds up to a predetermined level, the bucket sinks and the valve opens to release the condensate. Air is also released through the top of the bucket. It is a simple and reliable design suitable for superheated steam that withstands waterhammer pressures. Sizes range from 1" to 2" and materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, and bronze.

    INVERTED BUCKET

    STEAM TRAPS

    IDH LF2

    INVERTED BUCKET

    This trap uses an inverted bucket that floats whean steam is present
    and sinks when condensate exceeds a predetermined liquid
    level.When the bucket floats the valve – at the top of the trap – is
    closed . When it sinks the valve will open. On start up the bucket is
    down end the valve is wide open , when condensate and air enters the
    trap it flows directly into the bucket…The condensate falls into the trap
    body whereas air collects at the top of the bucket and causes it to float
    thereby closing the valve. Air is released through a vent at the top of
    the bucket and collects in the top of the trap until the bucket sinks
    opening the valve and allows the discharge of air and condensate.
    When steam is formed , it collects in the top of the bucket causing it to
    float thereby closing the valve. The bucket will sink again when
    condensate reaches the predeterminated level and the cycle starts
    over.

    MAIN FEATURES

    Discharge of condensate at steam temperature. Simple and reliable


    construction. Slow discharge of air. Suitable for superheated steam. It
    whith stands waterhammer.

    INSTALLATION
    The trap must be installed vertically. The inlet must be at the bottom with the trap installed below the drain point in order to maintain the water
    seal around the bucket. A protective strainer is always recommended upstream of the trap. Always ensure that the trap is properly sized. With
    very low condensate loads and/or with superheated steam, the installation of a check valve upstream the trap is recommended
    HOW TO SERVICE
    Before doing any maintenance work always ensure that the trap is isolated and pressure is dissipated. Undo cover nuts (5), remove cover (2)
    with all mechanism and cover gasket (3). Unlock the bucket (7) from valve lever (6). Remove the valve guide undoing to the screw. Remove
    valve seat from cover (2). Screw in a new valve seat. Reinstall valve guide with lever and bucket (7). Refit cover (2), using new gasket (3).
