Abstract
An-line trap assembly is disclosed for preventing the drop out of suspended particulant matter within a cooling water flow stream. The in-line trap assembly is provided with a collector tank for gathering debris and a bleed through piping network for creating a continuous flow of cooling water. The continuous flow of cooling water from a supply header to a return header assists in moving the debris into the collector tank where the collected sediments are then removed by a manual or automated blow-down of the in-line trap.
