DescriptionDesigned for extended service and low maintenance with
medium and high pressure steam, Barnes & Jones Bucket Traps feature an inverted bucket design with corrosion resistant
stainless parts for optimal performance with blast coils, laundry equipment, hot water heaters, steam kettles and a broad
range of industrial and process applications.
OperationKey to the reliability of a Barnes & Jones Bucket Trap
is that the the trap is selected for the actual pressure differential of your application, and the valve seat and plug are
in the top, away from the dirt and debris that collects in the trap body. A trap be ing used for a greater dif ferential than
its rating will not open. Conversely, a trap with a rating which ex ceeds the differential will operate at a reduced capacity. Barnes & Jones offers seven models in 20 capacities. Using the table on the back
of the downloadable pdf, you can specify the B&J trap which delivers the most efficient energy saving operation and lowest
maintenance cost. Initially primed to create a water seal with the
bucket in a down (fully open) position, air and water enter the trap though the in let tube. Air is vented from a small orifice
in the top of the bucket, while condensate flows out from under the bucket. When steam enters the trap, it fills the bucket,
causing it to become bouyant, overcoming the weight of the bucket, and rising to “snap” the plug into the seat.
The trap stays fully shut until sufficient steam has co denses to allow the bucket to immediately drop, and return to its
fully open state.
