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

The hinge operates in a forward direction so that on the return journey on the coalface, the back opens allowing the box to remain empty. On the loading journey, the coal closes the hinge and the material is drawn or scraped forward to the point of discharge. 3, record 4, English, - scraper%20bucket

Le scraper, ou racloir [...] est une pelle tirée par câble et qui attaque de haut en bas le tas à charger. Le scraper ravance en général les produits sur le mur jusqu'à une estacade de chargement sous laquelle circulent des berlines. La forme de la pelle fait qu'elle ne racle que dans le sens front-estacade. Dans son trajet de retour, elle glisse sur le tas sans y pénétrer. (Dans certains cas, la tôle arrière du scraper, mobile autour d'un axe supérieur horizontal, se rabat autour de celui-ci dans le trajet retour qui est ainsi facilité). Le scraper est fixé à deux câbles aboutissant aux deux tambours d'un treuil spécial. Le câble de retour, avant d'arriver au treuil, passe dans la gorge d'une poulie fixée à front de galerie. 4, record 4, French, - racleur
