Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drain valves, in particular to an electric drain valve for a heating pipeline. Background Art

[0002] As a peak-shaving unit, the operation of the waste heat boiler (HRSG) is constrained by regional power grid dispatch. When the unit is not operating, the plant's heating network is supplied by industrial gas boilers, resulting in relatively high gas consumption. When the unit is operating, steam is supplied to the plant's heating network by the unit, resulting in lower gas consumption. Currently, the switching process requires personnel to be on-site to open and close valves to warm up the backup pipeline. By adding electric drain valves at the beginning of the heating pipelines supplying the gas source boilers and optimizing the control logic for switching the plant's heating pipelines, we can achieve automatic switching of the heating system's gas source.

Its advantages include quick action, reliable performance, compact size, ease of operation, and long life, making it widely used in various industrial fields.

[0004] As an important industrial valve, electric steam traps play a key role in multiple fields. Their unique operating principle and numerous advantages make them an indispensable part of industrial automation and piping systems. With the continuous advancement of technology and the ever-changing industrial needs, electric steam traps will continue to be improved and optimized to adapt to more complex and demanding working environments.

However, after long-term use, a certain amount of impurities will accumulate on the filter of the steam trap. The electric steam trap will regularly replace and clean the filter to ensure the filtering effect of the filter. However, it is inconvenient to regularly replace the filter inside the steam trap.
