Inverted Bucket Steam Trap → A steam trap that operates based on the density difference between steam and condensate.
The internal float consists of an open, inverted bucket. When the trap chamber is empty (no condensate), the weight of the internal bucket is insufficient to open the discharge valve, which remains closed. As condensate accumulates inside the chamber and completely fills the bucket, the weight of the bucket, acting through the lever, opens the discharge valve.
