Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of condensate removal technology, and in particular to a condensate removal device for a desulfurization drainage pit level gauge. Background Technology
[0002] The desulfurization drainage pit level gauge is a crucial component of the desulfurization system. Adding a condensation reduction function to this gauge addresses the issue of condensation caused by water vapor, which leads to inaccurate readings and disrupts the controlled operation of the drainage pit. Since the desulfurization drainage pit level gauge is the sole source of data for monitoring the pit's level, inaccurate data directly impacts the monitoring efficiency of desulfurization operators and severely affects the operational efficiency of the absorption tower drainage pit, potentially resulting in flooding.
[0003] However, in existing technologies, level gauges in desulfurization drainage pits often suffer from inaccurate measurements due to the probe being covered with a large amount of condensate. The current solution involves manually removing the level gauge and cleaning the probe that emits energy waves, which consumes a lot of time and manpower. Furthermore, during rainy weather, the accumulation of rainwater necessitates more frequent cleaning of the probe to prevent affecting the operating efficiency of the absorption tower drainage pit. Therefore, how to provide a condensate removal device for level gauges in desulfurization drainage pits is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.
