Method and apparatus for managing steam systems

摘要: A steam system management method and apparatus includes a condensate collection reservoir with pilot operated, pressure actuated dump valve that has quick, snap action fully open/fully closed mode of operation. The operation the is by very low voltage solenoid actuator powered thermal-electric generator which thermionically converts heat from directly to electricity. Condensate dumps are controlled liquid level sensing switches positioned near top bottom electrically connected relay logic turns on off. Temperature sensors in adjacent utilized combination thermal electric microprocessor monitor air content open purge excess system. converter regulator provided convert output higher necessary operate microprocessor, information displays indicate status, modes operation, quantities dumped, failure alarm.
