Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 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. 4, record 1, English, - inverted%20bucket%20trap

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. 4, record 1, French, - purgeur%20%C3%A0%20flotteur%20invers%C3%A9%20ouvert

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 2, English, - upright%20bucket%20trap

... 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. 2, record 3, English, - separation%20chamber

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. 1, record 4, English, - lifting%20trap

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. 3, record 8, English, - impulse%20trap
Record number: 8, Textual support number: 2 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. 2, record 8, English, - impulse%20trap
