Condensate receiver tanks

Steam generated in the recovery boiler is used to run many parts of a mill. Liquor concentration and paper drying are the largest steam users, followed by digestion, bleaching, and chip steaming. (Steam also drives a turbine cogeneration system if a mill is so equipped). A steam condensate system in the paper machine’s dryer section collects water for reuse in the mill.

Challenge

Steam condensate from the dryer drums enters up to half a dozen receiver tanks of the condensate return system. Level controls in these tanks ensure that water either is returned to the mill for reuse, diverted to storage, or discharged to the sewer. When the control senses the upper level in the tank it will actuate a dump valve to remove the accumulated condensate.

Models T20 & T21 top-mounting single-stage and dual-stage float switches

Single Stage Switch

T20 units are simple, reliable float switches, designed for top mounting into tanks or vessels. T20 units utilize a single switch mechanism and float. It can be used for virtually any type of open or closed process or storage vessel, with either threaded or flanged type mounting, and actuating depths of up to 48 inches (1219 mm).

Dual Stage Switch

T21 units combine the functions of two separate narrow differential level controls in a single, compact, easy-to-install instrument. Two independent switch mechanisms are employed to provide two actuating levels at least 8” apart, at actuating depths of up to 48 inches (1219 mm), for applications such as high and low level alarm operation. Model T21 tandem float switches are available with optional cages to help stabilize the floats under turbulent conditions.
