OSTI ID:6206078

This article is an evalution of an energy efficient inverted bucket steam trap which received an Honors award in the steam traps category in the 1982 Chemical Processing Vaaler competition because it features a common centerline top inlet/bottom outlet connection which permits closer installation to discharge several traps into a manifold return, and eliminates any repiping on vertical lines to replace other types of traps that may be wasting energy. The common centerline connector with either a screwed or socket weld end fitting is made of carbon steel and welded to the corrosion-resistant Type 304L stainless steel body.
