[0002] As an important heating method, the invention of the steam engine and the rise of the industrial revolution in the late 18th century and the early 19th century gave birth to the development of the steam heating system. The steam heating system is a system that supplies heat in the form of steam, carrying heat from the heat source and delivering it to users through the heat network. Steam heating can easily meet the heating needs of various industrial processes. Moreover, the specific gravity of steam is small, so it will not generate excessive static pressure in high-rise buildings; the flow velocity in the pipeline is greater than that of water, and the heating system can be started quickly; the heat transfer efficiency in the heat exchange equipment is relatively high. Steam heating is also widely used in industrial production, such as in industries like food processing, chemical industry, textile, medicine, and papermaking.

[0003] Due to the unstable operation load of the steam pipe network, and even often having intermittent operation conditions, condensate will be generated in the pipeline. If the condensate is not discharged in time, a water hammer phenomenon will occur, and in severe cases, it will damage the pipe network. Therefore, reasonably setting drainage points is the guarantee for the safe operation of the pipe system. Summary of the Invention
