Nozzle-type steam trap
This Venturi nozzle steam trap comprises a body, a strainer, a drain reservoir, and a Venturi nozzle, characterized in that the drain reservoir includes a drain vent of the Venturi nozzle and a non-drain vent, and is disposed in an upper section of a vapor transport piping structure provided with the steam trap, the drain vent is placed in a position lower than the non-drain vent, and a height difference between the drain vent and the non-drain vent is continuously varied by using a rotatable components on the same axis as that of the vapor transport piping structure.
1. A Venturi nozzle steam trap comprising:
a body connected to an outlet of steam and/or condensate and an inlet of steam and/or condensate;
a strainer disposed in the body;
a drain reservoir annexed to the body; and
a Venturi nozzle installed in the steam trap,
wherein
the drain reservoir is disposed in an upper section of the steam trap and is arranged at a top of the body,
the drain reservoir includes a drain vent of the Venturi nozzle through which condensate is discharged into the drain reservoir disposed in the steam trap and a non-drain vent through which condensate is discharged from the drain reservoir to an outer side of the steam trap through the outlet of steam and/or condensate,
the drain vent is placed in a position lower than the non-drain vent,
the body is connected to a vapor transport piping structure by using a rotatable and connectable union or flange on a same axis as that of the vapor transport piping structure,
a distance between the axis and the drain vent is arranged to be shorter than that between the axis and the non-drain vent, and
a difference between the vertical height, relative to the axis, of the drain vent and that of the non-drain vent is varied by rotating the body on the axis with the union or flange to adjust a discharged amount of condensate.
2. The Venturi nozzle steam trap according to claim 1 , further comprising a strainer filter composed of 2-300 mesh screen.
3. The Venturi nozzle steam trap according to claim 2 , wherein the strainer filter is composed of 100 to 300 mesh screen reinforced with a support body.
