Abstract
A steam trap comprises a casing having a condensate and steam inlet port and a condensate outlet port and an inverted bucket capable of rising and falling within the casing. A valve unit is interposed between the inlet port and the interior of the casing and is responsive to the height of the bucket in the casing to open and close. A connection is established from the conduit and steam inlet port to the interior of the inverted bucket and this includes stabilizing structure for allowing steam flow into the upper part of the inverted bucket, unimpeded by condensate flow, for reducing instability of the water level in the bucket, the stabilizing structure including two outlets covered by the bucket, namely a condensate outlet located at first level and a steam outlet located at a second level spaced above the first level.
