Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1 As shown, a steam heater condensate recovery device in the utility model includes a condensate recycling water tank 1 and a condensate discharge system. The condensate recycling water tank 1 is provided with a water inlet 101 on the top and a drain outlet 102 on the bottom. The water inlet 101 is connected to the steam heater, and the drain outlet 102 is connected to the condensate discharge system.

[0026] An exhaust pipe 103 is arranged on the top of the condensate recycling water tank 1. The lower part of the exhaust pipe 103 is a straight pipe, and the upper part is a curved pipe. An exhaust port 104 is opened at the end of the curved pipe to dissipate heat and exhaust air inside the water tank body.

[0027] An overflow port 105 is provided at the top left side of the condensate recycling water tank 1 to prevent overflow in the water tank; a cleaning manhole 106 is provided in the middle left side of the water tank to facilitate maintenance personnel to enter the tank for maintenance and cleaning, thereby ensuring a sanitary environment inside the tank. When the cleaning manhole 106 is not opened, a tight cover is generally used to seal the water tank.

[0028] A sewage outlet 107 is provided at the lower right end of the condensate recycling water tank 1 for discharging sewage from the water tank or for discharging clean sewage.

[0029] In addition, a magnetic flap level gauge 108 is installed on the body of the condensate recycling water tank 1, which is used to monitor and control the liquid level of the water in the water tank. The height of the liquid level in the tank is determined by measuring the floating of the water on the magnetic flap, thereby achieving accurate control of the liquid level. In addition, the magnetic flap level gauge is generally made of corrosion-resistant materials, has good durability, and is suitable for various industrial environments.

[0030] The condensate discharge system in the utility model includes a first drain pipe 2 and a second drain pipe 3, which are connected in parallel. In actual production, a suitable number of drain pipes can be arranged according to the on-site environment and actual needs, so as to increase the recycling efficiency of condensate water. The arrangement principles of the valves and pumps on the drain pipes are consistent, and the operator can also change the arrangement positions of the valves and drain pumps according to actual needs.

[0031] Specifically, the first drain pipe 2 is provided with a first manual butterfly valve 4, a second manual butterfly valve 5, a first drain pump 6, a first check valve 7 and a first electric butterfly valve 8 in sequence; the second drain pipe 3 is provided with a first manual butterfly valve 4, a third manual butterfly valve 9, a second drain pump 10, a second check valve 11 and a second electric butterfly valve 12 in sequence.

[0032] In addition, a first drain valve 13 is arranged on the connecting branch between the first manual butterfly valve 4 and the second manual butterfly valve 5; a second drain valve 14 is arranged on the connecting branch between the first check valve 7 and the first electric butterfly valve 8; a third drain valve 15 is arranged on the connecting branch between the second check valve 11 and the second electric butterfly valve 12; the above-mentioned drain valves are arranged to discharge sewage from the water in the box and the pipeline; at the same time, by arranging valves and pumps on the drainage pipeline, the water delivery efficiency of the box is improved.

[0033] The utility model provides a steam heater condensate recovery device also includes a DCS controller, whose input end is connected to the output end of the magnetic flap level gauge 106, and whose output end is respectively connected to the first drain pump 6, the first check valve 7, the first electric butterfly valve 8, the second drain pump 10, the second check valve 11, the second electric butterfly valve 12, the first drain valve 13, the second drain valve 14 and the third drain valve 15.

[0034] The first drain pump 6 and the second drain pump 10 are set up in the whole device in a chained working principle. When the liquid level in the water tank is high, a drain pump is chained to transport condensed water to the user end, and the pump is chained to stop when the liquid level is low. And if one of the drain pumps in use fails (such as low pressure in the pump outlet pipeline, pump failure and inability to start, etc.), the other standby drain pump can start automatically to ensure the transportation and recycling rate of condensed water and production needs, and realize one use and one standby drain pump.

[0035] When the device is recovering condensed water, the condensed water enters the condensed water recycling tank 1 from the steam heater through the water inlet 101. When the liquid level in the water tank reaches the set height, the DCS controller receives the liquid level information transmitted by the liquid level meter, sends a stop drainage instruction to the steam heater, and at the same time sends an opening instruction to the first steam drain pump 6, the first check valve 7, the first electric butterfly valve 8, the second steam drain pump 10, the second check valve 11 and the second electric butterfly valve 12, and sends a closing instruction to the first drain valve 13, the second drain valve 14 and the third drain valve 15, so as to transport the condensed water in the water tank to each user point and transfer it to the next process.

[0036] In addition, during actual production applications, the first drain valve 13, the second drain valve 14 and the third drain valve 15 are usually in a closed state; when sewage discharge operations are required in the water tank body or the drainage pipe, the operator can also send an opening instruction to the above-mentioned first drain valve 13, the second drain valve 14 and the third drain valve 15 to complete the sewage discharge action.

[0037] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
