防止する。2. Description of the Related Art A conventional float type drain trap is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-92195. As understood from the publication, an inlet, a valve chamber, and an outlet are formed by casing, a valve port communicating the valve chamber with the outlet is provided in a lower portion of the valve chamber, and a valve body for opening and closing the valve port is connected. The float is placed in the valve chamber. When the liquid level rises due to the drain flowing into the valve chamber from the inlet, the float floats up and the valve body opens the valve port to discharge the drain to the outside. When the liquid level in the valve chamber drops due to the discharge of the drain, the float lowers and the valve body closes the valve port, thereby preventing gas outflow (leakage).

弁口に流れ込み易いためである。In the above-mentioned conventional float type drain trap, foreign matters such as dust and scale mixed into a fluid and flowed into the valve chamber are easily caught between the valve body and the valve port. However, there was a problem that the valve could not be completely closed and leaks easily. This is because the valve element and the valve port are located in the lower part of the valve chamber, so that foreign substances flowing down to the bottom of the valve chamber may be disturbed. This is because the foreign matter easily adheres to the surface of the valve chamber, and foreign matters collected at the bottom of the valve chamber easily flow into the valve port together with the discharge drain.

Therefore, there is a problem that the valve seat having various kinds of valve ports must be replaced and exchanged.

The valve is located inside the float and the valve body is connected to the inside of the tubular float. Therefore, most of the foreign matter that has flowed into the valve chamber can flow down the outside of the cylindrical float, and the position of the valve element and the valve port can be increased to be separated from the bottom of the valve chamber.
Therefore, it is difficult for foreign matter to be caught between the valve body and the valve port.

止する。Next, the operation of the float type steam trap of this embodiment will be described. The state shown in FIG.
Is lowered, and the valve body 12 closes the valve port 8. Condensate and steam flow into the valve chamber 3 from the inlet 4 through the screen 17, and the condensate separates at the bottom and the steam separates at the top and accumulates. When the liquid level rises due to the inflow of condensate water, the float 10 rises because of its increased buoyancy, and the valve body 12 opens the valve port 8. As a result, the condensate in the valve chamber 3 is transferred from the valve port 8 to the outlet passage 7.
Through to the outlet 5. Since the fluid pressures acting on the valve element 12 and the diaphragm 18 are made equal in opposite directions, the opening and closing operation can be performed using the same float from low pressure to high pressure. When the liquid level in the valve chamber 3 drops due to the discharge of the condensate water, the float 10 descends with this, and the valve body 12 closes the valve port 8. This prevents the outflow of steam.

弁体と弁口の間に異物を噛み込むことが少なくなる。Foreign matter larger than the mesh of the screen 17 is captured by the screen 17, and small foreign matter passes through the screen 17. The small foreign matter that has passed through the screen 17 is unlikely to flow inward beyond the upper end of the float 10, and most of the foreign matter flows down the outside of the float 10 and accumulates at the bottom of the valve chamber 3. Or on the surface of the valve port 8. In addition, small foreign matter that has accumulated at the bottom of the valve chamber is
It becomes difficult to flow into the valve port inside the gate 10. This allows
Foreign matter is less likely to be caught between the valve body and the valve port.
