DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC CONDENSATE PUMPING Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC F16T1/20 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the oil and gas industry, and in particular to devices for automatic removal of condensate from gas pipelines. The housing is made in the form of a branch pipe with a hole for gas flow. The body is plugged from below by a steel plate perforated with holes, and from above by a lid with a hole attached to the body by welding. At the same time, a condensate drain tube with a hole is installed in the opening of the cover. Also, the main float is equipped with a toothed segment and a pusher. A steel beam with a channel is installed in the body by welding, in which a flexible tip of a locking plate equipped with a float is located. A plate with a hole is also installed in the body by welding. At the same time, a guide for the rod is attached to the plate with the hole by welding. Also, on the plate with a hole, two springs are mounted, fixed on a steel plate with a hole, put on an auxiliary rod, equipped with valves at the ends, and attached to it by welding.

EFFECT: device for automatic condensate pumping, which can be placed in the underground tank of the condensate collector in the gas pipeline, ensures periodic emptying of condensate when the tank is filled and purging the drain pipe with gas, which prevents freezing of drop moisture at low temperatures.
