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
