[0004]

The conventional steam heating device described above has a problem that the heating temperature cannot be accurately maintained, and in particular, the temperature cannot be accurately adjusted in the initial stage of heating. This is because in the initial stage of heating, a large amount of air remains in the jacket portion 2 and it is in an almost atmospheric pressure state, and the supplied heating vapor is difficult to condense and the inside of the jacket portion 2 is in a predetermined low pressure state. No 10
This is because the steam temperature cannot be adjusted to 0 ° C or lower.

Although the remaining air can be expelled by the supplied steam, it takes time to expel it and a time delay occurs, so that the temperature cannot be accurately adjusted.

Therefore, a technical object of the present invention is to obtain a steam heating apparatus capable of accurately adjusting the heating temperature without causing a time delay.

[0007]

The technical means of the present invention taken to solve the above technical problems is to form a heating part in a heat exchanger to connect a steam supply pipe for heating, and
In the case where a condensate recovery device for discharging condensate generated by heating is connected, a fluid supply pipe for supplying a predetermined amount of fluid to the condensate recovery device is connected, and a condensate return port is provided through a valve means. It is connected to the heating part of the heat exchanger.

[0008]

The operation of the above technical means is as follows.
By connecting the fluid supply pipe to the condensate recovery device and connecting the return port of the condensate to the heating part, when the fluid is supplied from the fluid supply pipe to the condensate recovery device at the beginning of heating, a predetermined high water level is reached. The fluid is pressure-fed from the reducing port to the heating unit, and the air remaining in the heating unit is replaced with the pressure-fed fluid and is removed from the system. The fluid that has been replaced with air and filled up flows down into the condensate water recovery device and is pressure-fed to a predetermined recovery destination. By supplying the heating steam of a predetermined temperature into the heating section where the air is removed and the fluid is or is being pumped,
It is possible to heat the object to be heated with steam having a predetermined temperature or the following temperature.

The fluid supply pipe 44 is connected via the open / close valve 43. The fluid supply pipe 44 does not necessarily need to be connected to the condensate water inlet 34, but can be connected to any place of the condensate water recovery device 20.

The details of the condensate recovery system 20 are shown in FIG. A lid 32 is attached to the main body 31 with a bolt (not shown) to form a condensate storage chamber 33 inside. A condensate inlet 34 communicating with the condensate reservoir chamber 33 is formed in the upper part of the main body 31, and a return port 35 for returning the condensate to a recovery destination is formed in the lower part. An inlet port 38 connected to the vapor pipe line 23 as a high-pressure operating fluid is formed in the lid 32, and a high-pressure operating fluid circulation port 39 (not shown) is formed on the inner side of the inlet port 38. The inlet port 38 communicates with the condensate reservoir chamber 33 via the air supply valve 50, and the circulation port 39

0 and the exhaust valve 51 are connected to the slide rod 53, so that when the slide rod 53 is displaced upward, the air supply valve 50 is opened and the exhaust valve 51 is closed, and when the slide rod 53 is displaced downward. The intake valve 50 is closed and the exhaust valve 51 is opened. A plurality of slide rings 5 for supporting the vertical movement of the slide rod 53 are provided on both sides of the slide rod 53.
5 is provided.

In the condensate reservoir chamber 33, a closed float 56 that floats and descends with the water level is housed. A lever 57 is attached to the float 56, and the connecting member 58 and the valve rod 59 of the valve body 60 are pin-connected to the lever 57. Lever 57 has pin 6

If the air in the jacket portion 16 cannot be sufficiently removed by only one operation of, the supply of the fluid to the condensate water recovery device 20 and the pressure feed from the reducing port 35 are repeated a necessary number of times to remove the air inside the jacket portion 16. Air can be reliably excluded. When the air is removed, the valves 18, 40, 43 are closed and the valve 26 is opened, so that the water in the jacket portion 16 naturally flows into the condensate water recovery device 20 through the check valve 27. By supplying the heating steam having a predetermined pressure, that is, a temperature through the pressure control valve 21 into the jacket portion 16 from which air is removed, the reaction vessel 15 is heated with the steam having a predetermined temperature. For example, when steam of 60 ° C. is supplied from the pressure control valve 21, the reaction kettle 15 is heated at about 60 ° C.

The steam that has heated the reaction kettle 15 is condensed into condensed water, so that the inside of the jacket 16 is maintained at the initial pressure state. On the other hand, the condensed condensate flows down into the condensate recovery device 20 through the conduit 19 and is pressure-fed to the condensate recovery destination by repeating the above-described operation.
