DEVICE FOR AVOIDING CONDENSATE PLUGS FORMATION IN GAS PIPELINE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F17D1/02 

FIELD: machine-building.

SUBSTANCE: invention related to pipeline gas transportation and can be used on main gas pipelines, on gas fields tails and collectors for condensate disposal. In devices for avoiding condensate plug formation in a gas pipeline, including correspondingly a pipeline with sloped parts and connection bend with a wrapping canal, with discharge condensate line at bottom part of it, located in a cone-shaped wrapping bend and connected to a storage tank, placed bellow ground frost penetration level with located condensate discharge pipeline, coaxially fixed in vertical wrapping canal, a screw-shaped caves executed on the sloped parts external surfaces and the connection bend, which profile is "swallow-tailed".

EFFECT: efficiency increase in maintaining pipeline sloped parts and connection bend temperature regime, at bellow zero outside temperatures conditions, providing film condensation at their external surfaces.
