摘要 |
The present invention is directed to a system for recovery and cooling of steam and high temperature condensate and disposed between a feed water source (104) and a steam source (102) comprising a fluid circulation loop between the steam source and the feed water source including a steam trap (128) that receives a mixture of steam and high temperature condensate from the steam source, wherein the steam trap discharges high temperature condensate from the steam source, and a fluid cooling mechanism (106) which receives the high temperature condensate from the steam trap and cools the high temperature condensate. Alternatively, a condenser may be provided instead of the steam trap, wherein the condenser receives steam and high temperature condensate from the steam source and condenses the steam to a liquid state. The condensed liquid is subsequently provided to the fluid cooling mechanism. |
