FIELD: power engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has housing 1 with branch pipes 2 and 3 for supplying and discharging vapor provided in the cover and branch pipe 5 for discharging condensate made in the bottom. The float is mounted inside the housing. The float consists of cylindric shell 10 with throttle opening 15 at the bottom part, cover 9, and bottom 11 with opening 12 at the center. Pipe 13 with throttle opening 14 at its central part is coaxially mounted inside shell 10. Bushings 18 and 16 are secured to the outer sides of bottom 11 and cover 9 of the float. Bushing 18 serves as a stop member of the outlet valve. Bushing 16 is coaxially mounted inside sleeve 8 with a spaced relation. The sleeve is mounted on cover 4 of housing 1. The open face of the housing projects into housing 1. The space between bushing 16 and sleeve 8 is sealed with piston rings 17. Spaces of bushings 16 and 18 are interconnected through pipes 13. A tank is mounted on cover 9 of the float. EFFECT: improved design. 3 cl, 1 dwg
