Steam Traps Steam traps are essential devices used to automatically discharge condensate and non-condensable gases from steam systems while preventing the loss of live steam. Inverted bucket steam traps operate using the buoyancy principle: an inverted bucket rises and falls according to condensate levels. They are durable, resistant to water hammer, and suitable for medium to high-pressure applications. However, they require priming and may lose efficiency if the bucket loses its water seal Flo

Why do steam traps fail and how to tell if one has failed. That's what we cover in this video on thermostatic radiator valve failure #engineering #hvac | The Engineering Mindset
