  • Patent number: 5649528
    Abstract: A drain assembly is disclosed for use in a steamer type food processing apparatus having an oven chamber into which steam is introduced and from which steam bubbles may escape with condensate through a drain line. The drain assembly includes a tubular body having a longitudinal flow passage defining an inlet end adapted to receive steam droplets and condensate from the oven chamber, an outlet end enabling discharge of condensate from the flow passage, a quenching fluid inlet tube and splash plate operative to create a fluid screen across the flow passage downstream from said inlet end, a vent tube intersecting the flow passage downstream from the quenching fluid inlet to enable escape of vapor from the flow passage, and an overflow tube connected to said flow passage and configured to create a fluid trap within the overflow tube. The overflow tube allows backed-up condensate within the longitudinal flow passage to be discharged from the overflow tube in the event the discharge end is blocked.
