[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, a drain pipe condensate collecting device includes a drain pipe 1, a condensate collector 2, a condensate recovery pipe 3, an annular baffle 4, and a water curtain groove 5.
[0032] The evacuation pipe 1 is arranged vertically upward, the bottom of the evacuation pipe 1 is connected with a vacuum pump, or an air extractor, or a normal pressure tank containing high-temperature sodium aluminate solution or slurry; the condensate water collector 2 is located above the evacuation pipe 1; the condensate water collector 2 is provided in a tubular structure and coaxially arranged with the evacuation pipe 1, the bottom of the condensate water collector 2 is covered to form the condensate water collecting cavity 21 in the pipe, the caliber of the condensate water collecting cavity is larger than the caliber of the evacuation pipe 1, so that the steam is suddenly expanded at the outlet of the evacuation pipe 1 to realize the first speed reduction and rapidly condenses into water; an air inlet is arranged on the cover, one end of the evacuation pipe 1 is inserted into the air inlet and beyond the cover, the circumferential side of the air inlet is welded and sealed with the outer wall of the evacuation pipe, so that the end of the evacuation pipe 1 is higher than the bottom of the condensate water collecting cavity 21, and the condensed water does not fall into the evacuation pipe 1 when flowing down the inner wall of the condensate water collector 2.
[0033] A plurality of connecting blocks 41 are fixedly connected on the top outer circumferential side of the annular baffle 4, and the connecting blocks 41 are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the condensate water collector 2 during installation. The condensed water adheres to the annular baffle 4 and flows down along the annular baffle, therefore, the outer circumferential side of the annular baffle 41 is arranged in a spaced manner with the inner wall of the condensate water collector to form an annular drain hole 41 for the condensed water to flow down along the drain hole 41 to achieve smooth collection of the condensed water; meanwhile, the annular baffle 4 can further reduce the flow speed of the water vapor to achieve the function of secondary condensation into water. The number of the annular baffles 4 is several, and the annular baffles 4 are arranged in a spaced manner on the inner wall of the condensate water collector 2. The speed reduction through the multiple layers of annular baffles 4 can further improve the condensation effect.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 The annular baffle 4 can also be provided in a conical structure surrounded by the butt joint of the two sides of the fan-shaped plate, so that the annular baffle 4 is in an inclined state with the inside higher and the outside lower, and the inclination angle can be designed as 30°, so that the adhered condensed water can flow to the drain hole 41 along the inclined plate surface, which is more conducive to the collection of the condensed water.
[0035] The condensate water recovery pipe 3 is installed at the bottom of the condensate water collector 2 and communicates with the condensate water collecting cavity 21, the bottom of the condensate water collecting cavity 21 is provided with a slope 22, and the condensate water recovery pipe 3 is located at the lowest end of the slope 22, and the other end of the condensate water recovery pipe 3 can be connected to a red mud washing water pipeline.

The water pipe 23 extends into the ring-shaped water groove 51. When the water in the ring-shaped water groove 51 overflows, it overflows to the inner wall of the condensate water collector 2 and flows down along the inner wall to form a water curtain, which can cool the condensate water collector 2 and exchange heat with steam to recover the heat of the steam, carry away the condensate water attached below, and avoid the corrosion of the condensate water collector 2 caused by the long-time attachment of the condensate water.
[0037] The present application designs the condensate water collector 2 at the pipe opening of the exhaust pipe 1, so that the high-temperature steam suddenly expands when entering the condensate water collector 2, realizing the first speed reduction and condensation. The ring-shaped baffle 4 is additionally arranged on the inner wall of the condensate water collector 2 to realize the second speed reduction and condensation, improving the condensation and recovery efficiency. Meanwhile, the water curtain groove is arranged on the inner wall of the condensate water collector 3, the inner wall of the condensate collector is washed by the water curtain, and the condensate collector is cooled, which is beneficial to the heat exchange with steam and the recovery of heat. Meanwhile, the water curtain makes the attached condensate water flow smoothly to the bottom. Since the pipe opening of the exhaust pipe 1 is higher than the bottom of the condensate water collector 2, the condensate water gathered at the bottom can be prevented from falling into the exhaust pipe 1, and the condensate water is finally recovered by the condensate water recovery pipe 3.
[0038] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit it. Any modification or equivalent replacement within the spirit and scope of the present application should be covered in the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
