PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a condensate recovery device capable of positively discharging condensate to the outside even if the pressure of steam used in a steam using apparatus becomes low.SOLUTION: An inflow port 3 and a reduction port 4 of condensate, and an inlet 5 and a circulation port 6 of a high pressure operation fluid are provided in a condensate recovery device 2. A condensate inflow pipe 8 is connected to the condensate inflow port 3 via an opening and closing valve 7. The opening and closing valve 7 is automatically closed by opening the high pressure operation fluid inlet 5 to an upper piston 9 and supplying the high pressure operation fluid through a conduit 10. Even if the pressure of steam of an interior of the steam using apparatus becomes low, the condensate can be positively sent into the interior of the condensate recovery device 2 without causing a pressure loss as in a conventional technology of arranging a check valve. |
