Upright Bucket Trap. The discharge of condensate from this trap is intermittent. A differential pressure of at least 1 psi [pound per square inch] between the inlet and the outlet of the trap is normally required to lift the condensate from the bucket to the discharge connection. Upright bucket traps are commonly used to drain condensate and air from the blast coils, steam mains, unit heaters and other equipment. This trap is well suited for systems that have pulsating pressure. 3, record 1, English, - upright%20bucket%20trap

[Dans le cas des purgeurs à flotteur ouvert en seau], le corps du purgeur se remplit d'abord d'eau jusqu'à ce qu'il déborde dans le flotteur et l'amène à s'abaisser. Le clapet de retenue s'ouvre alors et c'est la pression de vapeur qui évacue l'eau condensée. 2, record 1, French, - purgeur%20%C3%A0%20flotteur%20direct

Fluid-fluid heat exchanger made of two concentric pipe sections; one fluid (such as a coolant) flows in the annular space between pipes, and the other fluid (such as hot process stream) flows through the inner pipe. 1, record 2, English, - double%2Dpipe%20exchanger

The condenser is also a Model no. 06036 shell and tube exchanger, identical to the reboiler with a few modifications : The baffles have been cut at the bottom where they meet the shell to allow condensate to flow out of the shell. The tube side has four passes for maximum heat transfer on the tube side. It is mounted nearly horizontally. The inlet end is a couple of inches higher than the outlet to allow condensate to drain out the low end. A few tubes have been removed at the top to give the vapor more room to distribute itself along the length of the shell. There is a vent on the shell side near the outlet end to allow non-condensable gases to leave. The vent gases pass through the inside of a 36" double pipe condenser so that any condensable gasses will condense out and run down the walls back into the condenser. 2, record 2, English, - double%2Dpipe%20exchanger

Atmospheric Vents. Condensate is created in every vent riser, as steam is discharged from the sterilizer. It is important to prevent its conduction back into sterilizers. Sterilizer atmospheric vents should include an ample sized drain leading from the vent fitting to an air break waste outlet. 1, record 3, English, - atmospheric%20vent%20riser

Mise à l'air libre - La vapeur s'échappant du stérilisateur forme de la condensation dans la canalisation de mise à l'air libre. Il est important d'empêcher le retour de l'eau condensée dans le stérilisateur. La canalisation de mise à l'air libre d'un stérilisateur devrait être pourvue d'un tuyau d'évacuation de l'eau condensée protégé par une coupure anti-refoulement. 1, record 3, French, - colonne%20de%20mise%20%C3%A0%20l%27air%20libre

A district steam-heating complex is composed of one or more steam generating plants, a network of mains, and meters on the premises of each customer.... The rate of flow of steam is accomplished through a steam-flow meter or a condensate meter. A steam-flow meter measures the pressure difference from the high-pressure input connection to the low-pressure outlet. This difference is translated into a measure of energy. 1, record 4, English, - steam%2Dflow%20meter
