CONDENSATE COLLECTOR INSTALLATION METHOD WITHOUT PRESSURE REDUCTION IN GAS NETWORK Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC F16T1/00 F16L41/04 F16L55/24 

FIELD: gas supply; transportation of gas via pipelines.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for rapid installation and connection of condensate collector. Proposed method consists in installing condensate collector assembly pre-mounted and elapsed required tests. Condensate collector assembly includes a condensate collection container, a head with a water outlet nozzle and a flange connected to the case flange, valve on the upper end of the head, water drain tube for condensate discharge from condensate collection tank. Tube is passed through the case and installed at the level corresponding to the lower part of the condensate collection container; at that, it enters into communication with the cavity of the operating gas line after cutting of the hole in it. Hole is cut by means of the device for connection to gas pipelines without reduction of gas pressure in the active network or for this purpose with the intended fitting. Besides, there is possibility of rapid installation and tie-in of condensate collector at section of operating gas line, where elimination of emergency situation associated with removal of unforeseen occurrence of water or condensate, capable of disturbing uninterrupted gas supply to consumers, is required.

EFFECT: disclosed is a condensate collector installation method without reducing pressure in the gas network.
