INLET TRAP [13 records]

Record 1 2016-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
  • Taps and Plumbing Accessories
  • Heating
DEF

[A] trap with an inlet channeled to the bottom of the trap body so the condensate enters underneath the inverted bucket[, and in which the] valve opens when the trap fills with condensate and discharges the condensate into the return line.

CONT

The discharge from the inverted bucket trap is intermittent and requires a differential pressure between the inlet and discharge of the trap to lift the condensate from the bottom of the trap to the discharge connection. Bucket traps are used for draining condensate and air from blast coils, unit heaters and steam heating coils. Inverted bucket traps are well suited for draining condensate from steam lines or equipment where an abnormal amount of air is to be discharged and where dirt may drain into the trap.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Obturateurs et buses (Composants mécaniques)
  • Robinetterie et accessoires
  • Chauffage
DEF

Purgeur de vapeur muni d'un flotteur ouvert en forme de cuve inversée ou de cloche, solidaire d'un clapet assurant l'ouverture et la fermeture de l'orifice d'évacuation des condensats.

CONT

Le purgeur à flotteur inversé […] fonctionne de façon identique [au purgeur à flotteur ouvert en seau]. Lorsque la vapeur arrive, elle s'accumule sous la cloche[,] qui se vide d'eau et s'élève, fermant le clapet de retenue, tandis que l'afflux de condensats fait redescendre le flotteur par son poids, ce qui libère le clapet. Il s'agit donc d'un fonctionnement par chasses successives. C'est un système assez délicat et sensible au gel.

Record 2 2016-05-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
  • Taps and Plumbing Accessories
  • Heating
DEF

A bucket that is usually hinged, so [that] water enters in sufficient quantity to fill the bucket and sinks it, [thus opening] a valve [and allowing] water [to flow] into the return line through a tube that extends almost to the bottom of the bucket.

CONT

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.

DEF

Purgeur à flotteur ouvert vers le haut, en cloche renversée (type seau) solidaire d'un clapet assurant l'ouverture et la fermeture de l'orifice d'évacuation des condensats.

OBS

[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.

Record 3 2001-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewers and Drainage
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

... a grease/oil/water separator containing three tanks to achieve separation : a first separation chamber, a trap tank, and a pump tank. The settling chamber separates out debris from the wastewater; the trap tank separates sludge as well as grease/oil from water by means of gravitational forces encouraged by a diagonal flow path; and the pump tank pumps the grease-separated water through a sand filtering means for further cleaning. The trap tank relies solely upon gravity to achieve separation of the grease from the water, with the cleaned water being removed by a pipe inlet situated near the bottom of the tank. The separator depends entirely upon gravitationally-induced separation of grease/oil and water in the trap tank.

CONT

Le dégraissage et le déshuilage des eaux [...] Les séparateurs sont munis d'un ou de plusieurs couvercles de visite simplement posés ou boulonnés. Un débourbeur est souvent implanté en amont du séparateur de graisses. Les matières séparées flottent dans la partie supérieure de la chambre de séparation remplie aux 3/4 d'eau. Les appareils sont construits en acier, en polyester, en polyéthylène ou en béton armé.

CONT

L'eau pénètre dans la chambre d'entrée puis est dirigée dans la chambre de séparation (Les eaux usées dans les agglomérations urbaines ou rurales, t. 2, 1978, p. 251).

Subject field(s)

  • Taps and Plumbing Accessories
  • Heating
CONT

The lifting trap is an adaptation of the upright bucket trap. This trap can be used on all steam heating systems up to 150 psig. There is an auxiliary inlet for high pressure steam,... to force the condensate to a point above the trap. This steam is normally at a higher pressure than the steam entering at the regular inlet.

OBS

  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
  • Sewers and Drainage
CONT

1. Whenever a building sewer serving a subterranean space conveys sanitary sewage to a public sewer, a trap shall be installed on the main sewer line outside the subterranean space. The purpose of the trap is to prevent odors or gas and/or pests from entering the subterranean space plumbing system from the public sewer. It is not to be used as a ventilating duct for public sewer. 2. A fresh-air inlet shall be connected on the upstream side of this trap so as not to interfere with the cleanouts therein.

CONT

Impulse Trap. Under normal loads the discharge from this trap is intermittent. When the load is heavy, however, the discharge is continuous. This type of trap may be used on any equipment where the pressure at the trap outlet does not exceed 25% of the inlet pressure.

CONT

The impulse steam trap operates on the principle that hot water under pressure tends to flash into vapor when the pressure is reduced. When hot water is flowing to the trap the pressure in the control chamber is reduced, causing the valve to rise from its seal and discharge the water. As steam enters the trap, the pressure in the chamber increases, causing the valve to close, thus reducing the flow of steam to that which can pass through the small center orifice in the valve.
