The steam pipe 3 is provided through the bottom of the first and second condensate collection boxes and is connected to the second recovery recess 21.

A portion of the flue gas entering the second recovery recess 21 can flow from the flow restriction hole to the exhaust cover 5.
[0036] Through the condensate recovery device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the flow limiting member 4 is arranged on the first condensate recovery box 1, which can block a part of the steam from flowing to the exhaust cover 5, thereby achieving flow limiting of the steam; the other part of the steam flows to the exhaust cover 5 through the flow limiting hole 41 and forms condensate, which drips into the first recovery recess 11 through the flow limiting hole 41, and is recovered in the second recovery recess 21 and the steam pipe 3 to reduce the discharge of steam.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, as an optional embodiment, the flow limiting member 4 has a guide recess 42 on the side away from the first recovery recess 11, and a limited flow hole 41 is opened in the guide recess 42; in the direction of dripping of condensed water, the projection of the flow limiting hole 41 coincides with the projection of the first recovery recess 11, and the condensed water on the concave surface of the guide recess 42 flows along the concave surface of the guide recess 42 to the flow limiting hole and drips to the first recovery recess 11.
[0038] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, some possible embodiments are provided. The second recovery recess 21 is disposed in the center of the first recovery recess 11. A gap is provided between the sidewalls of the second condensate collection box and the sidewalls of the first condensate collection box, and the gap is used for condensate to drip into the first recovery recess 11.

In the direction of condensate dripping, that is, in the vertical downward direction, the projection of the flow-limiting hole 41 partially overlaps with the projection of the first recovery recess 11, and covers the projection of the outlet end of the steam pipe 3 and the projection of the second recovery recess 21.
[0039] The steam flows from bottom to top, and the first part of the steam is discharged through the exhaust port of the exhaust cover 5; the second part of the steam flows to the exhaust cover 5 and condenses to form condensed water, which drips through the flow-limiting hole 41 into the second recovery recess 21 for recovery.
