Condensate discharge system for pressure systems - has condensate accumulator attached by inlet to pressure system and outlet closed by closure member and float

摘要

The condensate valve (8), outside the condensate accumulator (1) and between an outlet (4) and connectable condensate discharge pipe (7), is tightly connected by an attachment (12) to the periphery of the outlet and is driven by a drive mechanism (9). The outlet can be hydraulically separated from the condensate discharge pipe and thereby closed. A release valve (10) is attached to the accumulator by a connection (13), and to the attachment. The buoyant force produced by the float (6) by the weight of the quantity of condensate displaced by it is less than the closure force exerted on the closure organ (5) by the internal pressure in the accumulator. USE/ADVANTAGE - Float system avoids blocking and sticking in the condensate discharge, avoids loss of compressed air and adapts to large variations in flow quantities and condensate constituents.
