Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condensate recovery technology, and in particular to a condensate diversion and return device. Background Technology

[0002] During production operation, temperature differences cause condensation to form on the heat dissipation pipes of industrial circulating water systems. This condensation drips from the pipes onto the ground, creating water accumulation. This water accumulation increases the risk of workers slipping and falling, and the paint on the ground is corroded by the water, requiring frequent repairs and resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0003] Traditional solutions include:

[0004] Drainage ditch diversion: Open channels or drainage ditches are set up on the ground, relying on gravity for diversion. However, the ground layout is limited, it is easy to get clogged and difficult to clean, the diversion efficiency is low, and it cannot completely avoid residual water on the ground.

[0005] Manual cleaning: This method requires workers to regularly inspect and manually clean up the accumulated water, which is inefficient and poses safety hazards. It also lacks automatic recycling devices and relies on manual operation.

[0006] Simple drainage channel: A drainage channel is installed below the heat dissipation pipes, but it lacks a pipe connection to the circulating water tank, so the accumulated water still needs to be manually transferred and cleaned, which increases the labor intensity of employees.

The protective net includes two symmetrical protective net units. Each of the two protective net units has a semi-circular hole at one end. The two semi-circular holes are joined together to form a circular hole. The circular hole is tightly fitted with the outer tube wall of the heat dissipation end.

[0012] In one embodiment, the aperture of the protective net is ≤2mm.
