Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam traps, in particular to a high-pressure disc-type air steam trap. Background Art
[0002] Humans began to use steam during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. Initially, steam was used as a power source to drive pumps, locomotives, etc. After a period of time, the use of steam as a power source began to decrease, and it was more widely used as a heat source. One of the characteristics of steam is that it condenses to form condensate after the heat is dissipated. Condensate is discharged by opening the valve regularly. Manually operating the valve to discharge condensate is not only troublesome, but also leaks steam. As more and more equipment uses steam, a valve that automatically discharges condensate has been developed. This is the birth of the steam trap. The steam trap is a self-operated control valve. Its function is to automatically discharge the condensate that is constantly generated in steam heating equipment or steam pipes, and prevent the steam from being discharged with the water.
[0003] However, when inert gas transportation equipment or high-pressure pipelines need to be drained, there is no automatic drainage air trap with a very compact structure and small size that can be installed in a narrow pipeline space. Air equipment or pipelines are mainly used in electric valves, instrument control and other equipment occasions. If the water content is too high, it will affect the use of the equipment, and may even cause serious damage to the equipment. Therefore, the development of high-pressure disc-type air traps is particularly important.
[0004] The announcement number is: CN201992326U, and the name is: Improved disc-type steam trap, including a valve cover, a valve body, a valve core, a valve plate and a shell, wherein an air inlet and a drain port are respectively arranged on both sides of the valve body, a shell is arranged above the valve body, a valve core fixed on the valve body is arranged in the shell, a valve plate is arranged at the upper end of the valve core, a valve cover fixed on the valve core is arranged above the valve plate, a damping hole and an air vent are respectively arranged on the valve core, the damping hole is connected with the drain port on the valve body, the damping hole is connected with the drain port through the valve body channel on the valve body, and a symmetrical capillary groove with a center of a circle is arranged on the lower end face of the valve plate located at the upper end face of the valve core in the valve cover; through this scheme, the mirror area of the valve plate is reduced, the time for opening the valve plate is prolonged, condensed water can be smoothly discharged from the capillary grooves, the working steam generates secondary steam through the capillary grooves, and the leakage of the working steam is prevented. It has been proved in practice that the service life is extended to more than 9,000 hours.

The specific structure comprises a valve body 13, an air inlet hole 16 and an air outlet hole 20 are respectively arranged on both sides of the valve body 13, a valve seat 9 is arranged on the surface of the valve body 13, a hexagonal bolt 14 is arranged on the bottom surface of the valve body 13, the hexagonal bolt 14 penetrates the valve body 13 and is threadedly connected with the valve seat 9; a valve body channel 19 is arranged in the valve body 13; a disc 7 is arranged on the surface of the valve seat 9, a valve cover 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the valve seat 9, and the disc 7 is located in the valve cover 6; a flange 5 is fixedly installed on the surface of the valve body 13, and a cavity is formed between the valve body 13 and the flange 5.
[0042] The bottom surface of the disc 7 is provided with a self-locking groove 21 .
[0043] The valve seat 9 is provided with an air passage 18 and a damping hole 17 , and the bottom end of the damping hole 17 is connected to the valve body channel 19 .
[0044] The flange 5 and the valve body 13 are fixed to each other by means of stud bolts 3 and hexagonal nuts 4 .
[0045] The joint surface between the flange 5 and the valve body 13 is provided with a sealing gasket Ⅰ12.
[0046] A sealing gasket II 15 is provided on the joint surface between the hexagonal bolt 14 and the valve body 13 .
[0047] The joint surface between the valve cover 6 and the valve seat 9 is provided with a sealing gasket III 8 .
[0048] The opening and closing disc 7 and the valve seat 9 of the high-pressure disc-type air steam trap are both made of hardened martensitic stainless steel, which greatly improves the wear resistance and erosion resistance, prolongs the service life of the steam trap, and can be used to achieve the technical parameters of a nominal pressure of 42.0MPa and a working pressure difference of 15.0Mpa.
[0049] Usage: After the high-pressure disc air trap is installed on the pipeline, Fig.10 , 11 As shown, the device automatically starts to work. First, water flows into the high-pressure disc air trap, enters the cavity formed between the valve body 13 and the flange 5 through the inlet hole 16, then enters the air passage 18, lifts the disc 7, then enters the damping hole 17, enters the valve body channel 19, and finally is discharged through the outlet hole 20.
[0050] When air enters the high-pressure disc-type air trap, the speed at which air flows under the disc 7 is much greater than the speed at which water flows. According to Bernoulli's principle, the pressure under the disc 7 decreases, and the disc 7 falls. The air enters the cavity formed between the valve body 13 and the flange 5 through the inlet hole 16, and then enters the air passage 18. It enters the variable pressure chamber above the disc 7 through the gap between the disc 7 and the valve cover 6, and presses the disc 7 tightly against the annular sealing surface of the valve seat 9, closing the inlet.
[0051] After closing the valve, the air entering the transformer chamber passes through the self-locking groove 21 set at the bottom of the disc 7, and the exhausted air can be discharged, so that the pressure in the transformer chamber drops. When the pressure in the transformer chamber drops to a certain level, the downward pressure of the disc 7 is less than the upward thrust of the disc 7, so the disc 7 is lifted, and the high-pressure disc-type air drain valve opens to drain water, and the work is repeated in this way.

The filter screen 10 provided can be used to filter impurities in the water. The filtered water enters the valve body channel 19 and is finally discharged through the outlet hole 20.
[0063] When air enters the disc-type air trap, the speed at which air flows under the disc 7 is much greater than the speed at which water flows. According to Bernoulli's principle, the pressure under the disc 7 decreases, and the disc 7 falls. The air enters the cavity formed between the valve body 13 and the flange 5 through the inlet hole 16, and then enters the air passage 18.
