CONDENSATE TRAP

摘要

A steam trap (1) is provided comprising a chamber (8) having a substantially cylindrical sidewall, an inlet (20) provided towards the upper end of the sidewall, and an escape aperture (16) provided at its base. The inlet (20) introduces the fluid into the chamber (8) in a manner to promote a rotational flow of the fluid in the chamber (8), so as to create a low pressure location upstream of the escape aperture (16) to restrict the discharge rate of the aperture (16).
