<p>A condensate trap 1 comprises a vortex chamber 10,12 with an inlet 20, and an escape aperture 18 at an axial end of the chamber 10,12. Also disclosed is a method in which a mix of steam and condensate are directed into a vortex chamber 10, 12 to create a vortex, with the chamber having an escape aperture 18 directly downstream of a low pressure area of the vortex. The trap may specifically be a steam trap, in which water condensate is removed via the escape aperture 18.</p> |
