This invention discloses a
solid cone eliminator device and its preparation method for
water hammer in the condensate downcomer of an air-cooled island. The device includes an outer cylinder, a
solid cone disposed inside the outer cylinder, a support plate, and a stop block. The outer cylinder is connected in series within the condensate downcomer of the air-cooled island. The
solid cone is fixed inside the outer cylinder by the support plate, with its tip facing the direction of condensate flow. A guide hole is provided on the side wall of the
solid cone, located slightly above the bottom of the cone, with the borehole axis parallel to the center line of the cone and inclined outward at an angle α. The stop block is welded between the inner wall of the outer cylinder and the support plate to reinforce the support structure. This invention effectively disrupts the conditions for
water hammer and surge formation, ensuring long-term safe and stable operation of the
system. It addresses the problem of
water hammer shock
waves in the condensate downcomer of an air-cooled island induced by complex and variable environmental conditions in winter.
