AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, condensate in the steam main cannot be recovered in a timely manner, resulting in waste of water resources and heat energy. High-temperature steam leakage affects the operator's visibility and increases safety hazards. Furthermore, frequent valve operation leads to wear and high maintenance costs.
A condensate recovery system for steam transmission pipelines was designed, including a drain valve, a filter, a float-type steam trap, a pressure reducing valve, and a condensate tank. The system achieves full condensate recovery and prevents steam leakage through automated control, reducing manual operation and extending valve life.
It enables the full recovery and reuse of condensate, reducing water consumption, lowering environmental humidity and safety hazards, extending valve lifespan, and reducing maintenance costs and operational complexity.
