Abstract

A condensate trap comprising a housing (4) with a condensate inlet (1) at the top. A first tube (5) depends from the top of the housing (4), the inlet leading to a space between the first tube (5) and housing (4). A second tube (6) within the first tube (5) extends upwardly from the bottom of the housing (4). A third tube (7) within the second tube (6) depends from the top of the housing (4). A vent tube (8) opening at the bottom of the housing (4) extends upwardly between the second (6) and third (7) tubes. An outlet tube (9) extends upwardly within the third tube (7) and terminates below the top of the vent tube (8). The housing (4) is sealed other than at the inlet (1), and openings for the vent tube (8) and outlet tube (9).
