Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam traps, in particular to a steam-trapping float steam trap. Background Art

[0002] The steam float trap is a trap commonly used in steam systems to remove condensate and air from the system. The general steps for its use are to correctly install the steam float trap in the steam system, usually at the low point of the pipeline or at the location where drainage is required. When a certain amount of condensate and non-condensable gas accumulates in the trap, the float is immersed in the liquid. Because the float is light, it will float up due to buoyancy. When the float floats to a certain height, the rod connected to the float will drive the valve to open, allowing the trap to discharge the accumulated liquid and gas. As the drainage is completed and the condensate and gas are discharged from the system, the pressure inside the trap gradually balances. At this time, the buoyancy of the float decreases, and at the same time, under the action of gravity, the float will gradually sink. When the float sinks to a certain position, the connected rod will close the valve, stop drainage, and maintain the normal operation of the system.

[0003] For example, in Chinese patent application number CN201720782886.9, a new type of free float steam trap is provided, which combines the advantages of other steam traps to form a free float steam trap with simple structure, large drainage volume and noiseless operation. In order to prevent one end of the air discharge pipe from being normally open and causing air leakage, a fully automatic air discharger is provided. When condensate flows into the trap, the air needs to be discharged through the air discharge pipe. At this time, a lot of air will accumulate in the pipe, and pressure will also be generated. At this time, the HM10 pressure sensor automatically opens the air discharge pipe to release air due to the squeeze of the force, thereby effectively realizing the automatic discharge of air.

[0004] However, when this type of steam trap is in use, it is inconvenient to clean the impurities on the filter screen after filtering, which causes the filter screen to be easily blocked, affecting the use effect.

[0005] Therefore, in response to this problem, the utility model provides a steam-trapping float trap. Utility Model Content

[0028] In the utility model, when in use, the valve body 1 is installed in the steam pipeline, a float is arranged in the valve body 1, and steam enters the valve body 1 from the inlet pipe 3 and the filter box 2. When a certain amount of condensed water and non-condensable gas accumulate in the valve body 1, the float is immersed in the liquid, and the float will float up under the buoyancy of the water.
