<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate steam by using the waste heat of a drain from a steam-using apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: An air-liquid separation unit 15 performs the air-liquid separation of a fluid to be discharged from a steam-using apparatus 13 via a drain discharging mechanism 14. A steam compressor 2 sucks gas from the air-liquid separation unit 15, compresses and discharges it. Either or each of a first sensor 11 and a second sensor 22 is provided to control the steam compressor 2 based on its detection value. The first sensor 11 detects the pressure of steam from the steam compressor 2, and the second sensor 22 detects the pressure or the temperature in the air-liquid separation unit 15. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
