Spanish translation:Bomba de retorno de condensado
Explanation:
Si tu documento es acerca de trampas de vapor, la bomba se refiere a una BOMBA DE RETORNO DE CONDENSADO, porque devuelve el condensado de la tubería al caldero.
Este es es el uso más común de estas bombas.


Si la traducción tiene un contexto más general, just BOMBA A PRESIÓN, o BOMBA MECÁNICA A PRESIÓN.

Think of the advantages of a pump that uses no electricity, is robust and needs virtually no maintenance, yet is low cost and simple to install. There is such a device - it's called a mechanical pressure powered pump.
=============================
The pressure powered pumps utilized steam or compressed air to pump condensate (or other liquids).
