Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam-water separator technology, and in particular to a drainage structure for a steam-water separator. Background Technology
[0002] The steam-water separator is a pressure vessel structure made of carbon steel or stainless steel. The steam-water separator must be installed on a horizontal pipeline with the drain outlet pointing vertically downward. All steam-water separators of all diameters are equipped with mounting brackets to reduce the load on the pipeline. To ensure that the separated liquid is discharged quickly, a suitable set of steam traps should be connected to the drain outlet at the bottom of the steam-water separator. These valves should generally be installed horizontally in the pipeline.
[0003] According to Chinese Patent No. CN2687484Y, an automatic steam-water separator is provided, including a housing, a float ball disposed within the housing, and a drain pipe. The drain pipe is fixedly located at the bottom center of the housing, with its top end extending into the housing to a certain depth and its inner diameter gradually increasing from bottom to top, forming a conical hole shape. Correspondingly, a push rod is fixed at the bottom center of the float ball and inserted into the drain pipe. The upper end of the push rod has a gradually decreasing diameter to match the gradually increasing inner diameter of the drain pipe, and its lower end is cylindrical. The push rod inserted into the drain pipe ensures that the float ball moves in a vertical direction, and the conical upper end of the push rod forms a complete seal with the conical drain pipe. When the water level is higher than the critical water level, the float ball rises, causing the push rod to move upward and open the sealing surface between the drain pipe and the push rod, allowing condensate to drain out through the gap between the drain pipe and the push rod. Conversely, the float ball falls and closes the sealing surface between the drain pipe and the push rod, thereby shutting off the drainage. The structure is simple, the seal is tight, it is automatically adjustable, requires no other accessories, and has excellent performance.
[0004] The aforementioned patent has excellent automatic adjustment and superior performance, but in actual use, due to structural and other reasons, drainage is inadequate, resulting in liquid residue inside the separator. Utility Model Content

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the number of umbrella-shaped separators is four, with the other three umbrella-shaped separators disposed below the inner wall of the cyclone reversing tube.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the umbrella-shaped separator can be set up multiple times to fully separate steam and water, thereby improving the drainage effect.
[0020] A further feature of this invention is that the buffer separation plate includes a separation fixing plate, and a separation core is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the separation fixing plate.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer separation plate can facilitate the device to separate and drain water again, and cause the water in the device to accumulate at the bottom of the device.
[0022] A further feature of this invention is that the float mechanism includes a limiting buoy, a float is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the limiting buoy, and a top block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the float.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the float mechanism can float up when there is water, fully discharging the water. The setting of the limiting buoy facilitates the limiting and guiding of the limiting buoy, preventing the float from shifting and ensuring sufficient drainage.
[0024] A further feature of this invention is that the output end of the booster pump is fixedly connected to a solenoid valve, and both sides of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the separator body.
