In which location is an inverted bucket trap primarily used?

An inverted bucket trap is primarily used in locations where there is a large consumption of steam. This type of steam trap is designed to release condensate while efficiently handling large volumes of steam, making it ideal for applications with significant steam usage. The operation of an inverted bucket trap allows it to separate steam from condensate effectively; the bucket itself rises with the steam, preventing it from escaping through the outlet until enough liquid collects in the trap, at which point the bucket sinks and allows the condensate to flow out.

This functionality is particularly advantageous in environments with substantial demand for steam because it ensures that steam remains in the system and is not wasted while still enabling continuous removal of condensate, which is essential to maintain system efficiency and protect equipment from potential damage caused by water logging.
