[0010] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the utility model. Specific implementation mode:

[0011] Referring to the figure, the specific implementation mode of the present utility model is as follows: It includes a water storage tank 4, a high and low liquid level sensor 7, and a steam condensate pipeline 1. The steam condensate pipeline 1 is respectively connected to a water inlet pipeline 3 and a drainage pipeline 12. A maintenance main valve 2 and a bypass flow expansion valve 14 are successively installed on the water inlet pipeline 3. The water inlet pipeline 3 is connected to the water storage tank 4.
