As the system starts, air and non-condensable gases vent through the orifice in the bucket; condensate also enters through the standpipe which forms a water seal in the bottom of the bucket. When steam enters the trap a simple lever mechanism attached to the inverted bucket snaps shut; then as the steam condenses the buoyancy of the bucket changes thus opening the lever mechanism, allowing pressure to force the condensate out of the trap. This process repeats itself exactly and continuously to maximize the efficient use of energy. No cooling leg required. Refer to capacity charts when ordering.
