CONDENSATE LEAD-AWAY DEVICE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: heat engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has condensate collector 1 with level transmitter 10 connected by command coupling with valves 4,5 on pipeline 2, it has also valve 7 of main looping line 6, and valve 9 of additional looping line 8. Under normal operating conditions condensate passes through valve 4, condensate trap 3 made in form of porous insert, and valve 5. When level of condensate in collector exceeds setting of level transmitter 10, valves 7 and 9 open to provide return flow of condensate through condensate trap 3, thus cleaning the latter from dirt. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 1 dwg
