High Performance • Durable
Inverted Bucket Steam Trap for efficient condensate removal and reliable steam system performance.
Steam systems require reliable condensate drainage to maintain efficient heat transfer, protect equipment and reduce unnecessary steam loss. African Valve, an Inverted Bucket Steam Trap Supplier in Nigeria, supplies inverted bucket steam traps designed to automatically discharge condensate while limiting the loss of live steam.
These mechanical traps use an inverted bucket as the operating element and respond to the difference in density between steam and condensate. They are suitable for steam mains, drip legs, process heating, heat exchangers, steam tracing, boilers, refineries, chemical plants, power generation and industrial steam systems.
