Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to steam condensate discharge technical field, especially a steam condensate discharge buffer device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steam plays a vital role in the sulfur-containing gas purification process equipment, and the large temperature difference between upstream and downstream during steam transportation in the sulfur-containing gas purification process equipment easily forms condensate water. When the condensate water contacts the original liquid accumulation in the pipeline or the condensate water contacts the continuously transported steam behind, water hammer is easily produced, which may cause vibration and damage to the sulfur-containing gas purification process equipment and cause safety hazards. Therefore, the sulfur-containing gas purification process equipment needs to be provided with multiple condensate discharge ports to ensure that condensate treatment can be performed in the first time when water hammer occurs during steam transportation.
[0003] In the existing technology, since the condensate discharge pipes connected with the condensate discharge ports are straight pipes, the condensate water and steam are directly sprayed out of the condensate discharge pipes, which easily causes scalding to the operators. SUMMARY

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] In this application, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0034] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, components, or parts (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, components, or parts. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0035] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a steam condensate drainage buffer device 1, including a pipe 11, a first buffer plate 12, and a second buffer plate 13. One end of the pipe 11 has an outlet 111, and the other end is connected to a condensate drain port. The first buffer plate 12 is disposed within the pipe 11, and the second buffer plate 13 is disposed within the pipe 11, with the second buffer plate 13 located on the side of the first buffer plate 12 away from the condensate drain port. The first buffer plate 12 and the second buffer plate 13 are configured to buffer the steam and condensate flowing from the condensate drain port to the outlet 111.
[0037] It is understandable that, since the condensate drain is located on the sulfur-containing gas extraction and purification process equipment, the pipeline 11 can be connected to the outer wall of the condensate drain formed by the sulfur-containing gas extraction and purification process equipment, or it can be connected to the inner wall of the condensate drain formed by the sulfur-containing gas extraction and purification process equipment; no limitation is made here.
[0038] The nominal diameter of pipe 11 can be 25mm or 30mm, or other values, which are not limited here.
[0039] In this embodiment, steam and condensate flow into pipe 11 through the condensate drain and then towards outlet 111. During their flow within pipe 11, the steam and condensate sequentially pass through a first buffer plate 12 and a second buffer plate 13. It is understood that as the steam and condensate flow through the first buffer plate 12 and the second buffer plate 13, the first buffer plate 12 first buffers the steam and condensate, thereby reducing their flow rate for the first time. The second buffer plate 13 then buffers the steam and condensate after the first reduction in flow rate, thereby reducing their flow rate for the second time, ultimately reducing the flow rate of the steam and condensate when they are discharged through outlet 111.
[0040] The steam condensate buffer device 1 provided in this application provides a secondary buffering effect on steam and condensate by setting a first buffer plate 12 and a second buffer plate 13, which can provide operators with a longer time to avoid the condensate and prevent safety accidents such as burns that may occur due to operators not being able to avoid the condensate in time.
[0041] In some examples, both the first buffer plate 12 and the second buffer plate 13 can be installed on the internal thread base, which is connected to the inner wall of the pipe 11 by threads, so that the first buffer plate 12 and the second buffer plate 13 can be detachably installed in the pipe 11 for easy disassembly and assembly.
[0042] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first buffer plate 12 is provided with a plurality of first mesh holes 121, the aperture of the first mesh holes 121 being in the range of 9μm-11μm.
[0043] In this embodiment, the first buffer plate 12 is provided with a plurality of first mesh openings 121, which allows steam and condensate to flow through the first mesh openings 121. This results in a more uniform distribution of steam and condensate between the steam and the first buffer plate 12 as they pass through it, helping to reduce local accumulation and turbulence of steam and condensate within the first buffer plate 12, thereby improving flow efficiency. Simultaneously, the plurality of first mesh openings 121 on the first buffer plate 12 increases the contact area between the steam and condensate and the first buffer plate 12. When steam and condensate pass through the first mesh openings 121, they encounter more resistance, which helps to slow down the flow velocity of steam and condensate and reduce impact. It also reduces the scouring effect of the fluid on the pipe 11 wall, enhancing the buffering effect of the first buffer plate 12.
[0044] In some embodiments, the aperture of the first mesh 121 is 10 μm. In other embodiments, the aperture of the first mesh 121 may also be 9 μm or 11 μm, or other values between 9 μm and 11 μm except for 9 μm, 10 μm or 11 μm, which are not limited here.
[0045] In some other embodiments, the aperture of the first mesh 121 may be less than 9 μm or greater than 11 μm.
[0046] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the second buffer plate 13 is provided with a plurality of second mesh holes 131, the aperture of the second mesh holes 131 being in the range of 4μm-6μm.
[0047] Similarly, the second buffer plate 13 is provided with multiple second mesh openings 131, which allow steam and condensate to flow through the second mesh openings 131. This results in a more uniform distribution of steam and condensate between the steam and the second buffer plate 13 as they pass through it, helping to reduce local accumulation and turbulence of steam and condensate within the second buffer plate 13, thereby improving flow efficiency. Simultaneously, the multiple second mesh openings 131 increase the contact area between the steam and condensate and the second buffer plate 13. When steam and condensate pass through the second mesh openings 131, they encounter more resistance, which helps to slow down the flow velocity of steam and condensate and reduce impact. It also reduces the scouring effect of the fluid on the pipe 11 wall, enhancing the buffering effect of the second buffer plate 13.
[0048] In some embodiments, the aperture of the second mesh 131 is 5 μm. In other embodiments, the aperture of the second mesh 131 may also be 4 μm or 6 μm, or other values other than 4 μm, 5 μm or 6 μm as to be modified, which are not limited here.
[0049] In some other embodiments, the aperture of the second mesh 131 may be less than 4 μm or greater than 6 μm.
[0050] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the pipe 11 includes a first pipe body 112 and a second pipe body 113. One end of the first pipe body 112 is detachably connected to a condensate drain outlet, and a first buffer plate 12 is disposed inside the first pipe body 112. One end of the second pipe body 113 is connected to the end of the first pipe body 112 away from the condensate drain outlet, and the other end is provided with an outlet 111. The second buffer plate 13 is disposed inside the second pipe body 113.
[0051] Because a second buffer plate 13 exists between the first buffer plate 12 and the outlet 111, it is inconvenient for operators to handle situations such as damage to the first buffer plate 12 or blockage of the first mesh 121 of the first buffer plate 12. To solve this problem, in this embodiment, the pipe 11 is divided into a detachable first pipe body 112 and a second pipe body 113. When maintenance, replacement, or cleaning of the first buffer plate 12 is required, the second pipe body 113 can be disassembled to handle the first buffer plate 12.
[0052] In some other embodiments, the first pipe body 112 and the second pipe body 113 may be non-detachably connected, while the first pipe body 112 is detachably connected when the condensate drain port is connected.
[0053] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the inner wall of the end of the first tube 112 used to connect to the condensate drain is provided with an internal thread, which is used to engage with the outer wall that forms the condensate drain and is provided with an external thread through a threaded connection.
[0054] The first pipe body 112 is connected to the outer wall surrounding the condensate outlet by threads, which facilitates installation. At the same time, the threaded connection can also improve the sealing between the first pipe body 112 and the outer wall surrounding the condensate outlet of the sulfur-containing gas extraction and purification process equipment.
[0055] In some other embodiments, the first pipe body 112 may be bolted to the outer wall surrounding the condensate drain and a sealing ring may be provided.
[0056] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the end of the first tube 112 used to connect to the second tube 113 is provided with an external thread, and the end of the second tube 113 used to connect to the first tube 112 is provided with an internal thread. The first tube 112 and the second tube 113 are engaged by the thread.
[0057] The first tube 112 and the second tube 113 are connected by threads, which facilitates installation. At the same time, the threaded connection can also improve the sealing between the first tube 112 and the second tube 113.
[0058] In some other embodiments, the first tube 112 and the second tube 113 may be bolted together and have a sealing ring.
[0059] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the steam condensation buffer device 1 further includes a plug 14, which is detachably connected to the end of the second pipe 113 away from the first pipe 112, and selectively closes or opens the outlet 111.
[0060] The plug 14 can be installed to close the outlet 111 when condensate is not being discharged, preventing impurities in the air from entering the sulfur-containing gas extraction and purification process equipment through the pipeline 11, thereby avoiding pollution to the sulfur-containing gas extraction and purification process equipment.
[0061] In some other embodiments, the opening may remain open, while the condensate drain may be selectively closed or opened.
[0062] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the end of the second tube 113 used to connect to the plug 14 is provided with an external thread, and the plug 14 is provided with an internal thread, and the second tube 113 and the plug 14 are engaged by the thread.
[0063] The second tube body 113 and the plug 14 are connected by threads, which facilitates disassembly and assembly. At the same time, the threaded fit can also improve the sealing between the second tube body 113 and the plug 14.
[0064] In some other embodiments, the second tube 113 and the plug 14 may be bolted together and fitted with a sealing ring.
[0065] Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made thereto and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner, provided there is no structural conflict. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
