Principle of the steam condensate recovery device
Thread Content
The working principle is as follows: 1\ During the water filling process, the steam or air inlet valve and the pump outlet check valve are closed, while the pump exhaust valve and the pump inlet check valve are opened. Start pressing; 2. The float rises to the drainage point as the condensate flows in. The linkage mechanism moves to a position opposite to that shown in the first step. Stop the forced feeding. 3. As the condensate is discharged, the float descends until the linkage mechanism moves to the opposite position from its original one. Refill with water. 4. The steam or air inlet is closed again via the check valve located at the pump outlet, while the exhaust valve and the inlet check valve are opened; thus, the processes of the aforementioned stages are repeated.
Are there any relevant diagrams or animated demonstrations? Thank you
This is merely the working principle of a float-type trap; there are many other principles behind how traps function.
