Abnormal Pressure Responsive Liquid Blow-off Or Drain Patents (Class 137/180)
  • Patent number: 9169945
    Abstract: A condensate trap is provided for a housing of a motor vehicle that is sealed off from the environment, wherein the housing is provided for accommodating a technical component, in particular a power storage module. A reservoir for accommodating the condensate is formed in or on the floor of the housing. The reservoir forms the lowest point of the floor in a predefined installation situation of the housing. The reservoir is separated from the interior of the housing by a cover, which is provided with at least one breakthrough as an inlet for the condensate, accumulating in the interior. An outlet opening of the reservoir is coupled to an actively actuable element for discharging the condensate.

    Abstract: An auto flow steam trap has a hollow main casing having an inlet channel and an outlet channel, a float assembly mounted in the main casing, and a non-return valve assembly. With the non-return valve assembly mounted in the outlet channel of the main casing, the auto flow steam trap only needs one non-return valve assembly to control allowing the condensate to flow out of the main casing or not. Thus, the auto flow steam trap has advantages such as simple structure and low failure rate, easy assembling, and so on.

  • Patent number: 8925569
    Abstract: Disclosed is a safety valve of a low-pressure gas pipe which can be installed in a large-scale pipeline through which waste gases generated in a large-scale factory such as a steel mill flow and can reduce maintenance/management costs. The safety valve of a low-pressure gas pipe installed in a waste gas pipeline to discharge condensate includes: a first pipeline connected to a bottom surface of the waste gas pipeline and having a waste gas outlet on an inner wall thereof at one side thereof; a second pipeline extending from the first pipeline to be bent and extending in a direction parallel to the first pipeline; and an opening/closing unit for opening or closing the waste gas outlet.
