The drain pipe leads directly into the water tank
Thread Content
Can a drain pipe be connected directly to the water tank to heat the water in it? What issues need attention?
Check the purpose of the water in the tank; the water from the drain pipe should have high levels of iron ions, to determine whether the water quality is suitable.
In principle, when a steam trap is used underwater, a vacuum break valve should be installed behind it. Is it necessary to install this valve? What is its purpose?
Water quality issues can be ignored for now; the question is whether there are any particular considerations regarding the design of this drainage pipeline
It can be inserted, but the outlet of the steam trap should be in the gas phase section. The water tank should have an opening that is in direct contact with the atmosphere.
What impact will it have if it is inserted into the liquid phase?
An increase in back pressure will definitely have an impact; the key is whether it can still be used
It depends on the type of your steam trap, its manual, and the back pressure level.
With thorough consideration, if it’s appropriate then there will be no problem.
