Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam pipelines, in particular to a ground drainage device for directly buried steam pipelines. Background Art
[0002] Condensate will be generated during the steam pipeline transportation process. If the condensate is not discharged in time, water hammer will occur and cause damage to the pipeline. Therefore, a drain device should be installed at a low point along the steam pipeline. When the steam pipeline is directly buried, an underground drain well is generally set up. Because the underground drain well occupies a large area, there is no place to set it up locally, and the drain well is set up underground, which is not conducive to inspection, inspection and maintenance.
[0003] Steam traps are important components in steam pipe systems, ensuring safe and stable operation of steam pipes. Once they fail, the steam pipes will not be able to drain water or leak, which will cause condensate accumulation in the steam pipes, triggering water hammer or leaks that affect the safety of pedestrians and vehicles around them. As steam pipes are currently laid over long distances and many are laid outdoors, it is difficult for personnel to conduct frequent inspections and repairs on site, making it difficult to timely control the working conditions of steam traps.
