[0032] Step 2: Collection of steam condensate.

[0033] Step 3: Generation of re-generated ultra-low-pressure steam (SLL). As shown in the attached drawings, in the system for recycling and reusing steam condensate during the production of hexamethylenediamine, the by-product ultra-low-pressure steam (SLL) generated by the steam condensate tank (1) enters the ultra-low-pressure steam network through the ultra-low-pressure steam output pipeline and is used as steam tracing for the material pipeline for use by each ultra-low-pressure steam user.

A steam condensate tank level regulating valve G is provided on its inlet pipeline, and the control state is set to "AUTO" with a set value of "80%", automatically adjusting the liquid level of the steam hot condensate tank (6). When the temperature of the condensate is relatively low, the valve on the medium-pressure steam (SM) pipeline at the bottom of the tank is opened to introduce medium-pressure steam (SM) into the tank to heat it to the target value to meet the requirements of each user in the device.

[0035] Step 5: Generation of steam condensate (PW).
