Abstract
A condensate trap apparatus according to the present invention comprises: an inlet hole for inflowing a condensate; a storage space for storing the condensate introduced from the inlet hole; an outlet unit including a discharge hole for discharging the stored condensate from the storage space; and a buoyant body including a closing portion which is convex vertically downward so as to close the discharge hole by being seated on the outlet unit, and a support of a pillar type extending vertically upward from the closing portion.
Claims15
A condensate trap apparatus comprising:
- an inlet, through which condensate is introduced;
- a storage space, in which the condensate introduced from the inlet is stored;
- a discharge part including an outlet configured to discharge the stored condensate from the storage space;
- and
- a buoyant body including a closed part formed to be convex toward a vertically lower side such that the buoyant body is seated on the discharge part to close the outlet, a columnar support part extending vertically upwards from the closed part, and a weight formed of a material having a density that is higher than that of a material constituting the support part, at a lower end of the closed part.
A buoyant body seated on a discharge part including an outlet configured such that condensate stored in a storage space is discharged from the storage space, the buoyant body comprising:
- a closed part formed to be convex toward a vertically lower side to be seated on the discharge part to close the outlet, and having a shape of a portion of a sphere;
- a columnar support part extending from the closed part to a vertically upper side, and having an outer surface that is continuous to an outer surface of the closed part;
- a head part disposed at an upper end of the support part and formed to be convex toward a vertically upper side;
- and
- a weight formed of a material having a density that is higher than that of a material constituting the support part, at a lower end of the closed part.
