VOIGT-Lifter are working fully automatic!

 

 

Detailled Illustration:

 

VOIGT-Lifter: ready for operation

  • all globe valves are opened

  • the collection tank provides condensate

  • the VOIGT-Lifter is ready for operation

 


 

 


 Ý


Start of power cycle by condensate supply: filling process

  • the condensate enters the VOIGT-Lifter

  • the VOIGT-Lifter therefore starts working, controlled only by the condensate flow

  • the built-in relaxation valve is opened
     

 

 


 Ý


 

 

Filling Process

  • the VOIGT-Lifter fills up

  • the built-in float slides upwards

 

 

 

 

 


 Ý


Activation of the switch process in the valve block steering: switching operation

  • if the VOIGT-Lifter is filled, the float contacts the upper switching ring of the float-rod

 

 

 

 

 


 Ý


 

 

Switching operation

  • the float opens the steam inlet valve with its lifting power

  • at the same time the relaxation valve is closed

 

 

 


 Ý


 

 

Displacement by driving steam: Lifting process

  • the steam inlet valve is open

  • the inflowing steam impinges elastically on the liquid level and displaces the condensate through the pressure line 

 

 

 

 


 Ý


 

 

Lifting Process

  • the liquid level decreases

  • the float is moving downwards

 

 

 

 


 Ý


 

 

 

Switching Process

  • is the lifter is empty, the float contacts the lower switching ring

  • the float moves the float-rod by his own weight and activates by this the steering process

 

 

 

 


 Ý


 

 

Pressure relief by relaxation: switching process

  • the steam inlet valve is closed in the steering process

  • at the same time the relaxation valve is opened and the driving steam is led back into the collection tank

  • the next power cycle can start

 

 

 

 


 Ý


 

 

 

Start of the following power cycle

 

  • the float again slides upwards, the residual steam is led by the venting line into the collection tank where it condenses

  • this cycle reiterates intermittently as long as condensate enters the lifter, stops automatically when no condensate occurs and restarts automatically when again condensate flows into the lifter
