Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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] Example 1

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 5A steam-water separator for steam control includes a separation tank 1, the left side of the separation tank 1 is connected and communicated with an air inlet pipe 101, an isolation cover 20 is provided on the air inlet pipe 101, and the isolation cover 20 can be used to close the air inlet pipe 101 to prevent foreign matter from entering, a conical return plate 102 is provided on the top of the separation tank 1, the top of the separation tank 1 is connected and communicated with an exhaust pipe 2, the bottom of the separation tank 1 is connected and communicated with a sewage pipe 3, a ball valve 301 is installed on the sewage pipe 3, the ball valve 301 can be turned to open the sewage pipe 3 for sewage discharge, and a latch 21 is provided on the ball valve 301. After the ball valve 301 is opened, the latch 21 is used to fix the ball valve 301 to prevent the ball valve 3 from leaking. 01 rotates, a liquid outlet pipe 4 runs through the right side of the separation tank 1, and a water pump 5 is arranged on the right side of the separation tank 1. The water inlet end of the water pump 5 is connected and communicated with the liquid outlet pipe 4. Starting the water pump 5 can perform drainage operations. A support plate 6 is arranged on the front side wall inside the separation tank 1. A guide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the support plate 6 by welding.

A floating plate 10 is slidably arranged on the guide rod 7. An alarm instrument 11 is arranged on the outside of the separation tank 1. The alarm instrument 11 can be triggered by the contact between the floating plate 10 and the trigger module 9, so that the alarm instrument 11 sounds an alarm to serve as a reminder.

[0027] Steam enters the separation tank 1 from the air inlet pipe 101, and after hitting the conical return plate 102, the steam is returned and pressed into the exhaust pipe 2, wherein the water gathers on the conical return plate 102 to form water droplets that fall to the bottom of the separation tank 1, thereby achieving steam-water separation. During the steam-water separation, the float plate 10 floats along with the water level inside the separation tank 1. When the water level rises and approaches the lower end of the conical return plate 102, the float plate 10 floats up and contacts the trigger module 9 above, thereby triggering the alarm 11 to sound an alarm, making it convenient for the staff to respond in time, thereby controlling the water pump 5 to start draining water. During drainage, the water level of the float plate 10 drops accordingly. When the float plate 10 contacts the trigger module 9 below, the alarm 11 is triggered again. At this time, the staff turns off the water pump 5 to stop draining water, thereby preventing the water level inside the separation tank 1 from being lower than the lower end of the liquid outlet pipe 4, causing gas leakage and other problems.
