Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drain tanks, more specifically to a drain tank. Background Art
[0002] A steam trap is a device used to separate steam and water, primarily in boiler systems. In industrial applications, particularly in thermal energy production, steam trap expansion vessels play a vital role.
[0003] As shown in the application document with the prior art publication number CN216113335U, it includes a water vapor separation tank and a steam trap. The water vapor separation tank is provided with a steam inlet and a steam outlet. The water separation baffle is provided at the bottom of the separation tank. The return bend pipe is connected to the space surrounded by the water separation baffle. The return bend pipe is connected to the steam trap, and the steam trap is connected to the outlet pipe of the condensed water. After the water vapor entering the steam inlet enters the separation tank, the water vapor condenses after hitting the water separation baffle and converges to the bottom of the separation tank. As the water level rises, a water seal is formed when the water level exceeds the water bend of the return bend pipe. When the water level continues to rise and exceeds the upper bend of the return bend pipe, the condensed water is discharged and the steam trap is opened. The steam trap can form a water film seal to prevent steam leakage and prevent clogging by precipitated impurities. The structure is simple and durable.
[0004] However, the overall structure of the above technical solution does not make it convenient for workers to inspect and maintain the interior of the tank. Workers are often required to climb to the top of the tank to open the top cover or lift and remove the top cover for inspection. The operation is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, which seriously affects the convenience of workers in inspecting the tank. Utility Model Content
