When the steam condensate cannot be returned by gravity to the boiler in a two-pipe [steam heating] system, an alternating return lifting trap, condensate return pump, or vacuum return pump must be used to force the condensate back into the boiler. In a condensate return pump arrangement, the return piping is arranged for the water to flow by gravity into a collecting receiver or tank, which may be located below the steam-boiler waterline. 4, record 1, English, - condensate%20return%20pump

Dans une telle installation, quand l'eau condensée ne peut retourner par gravité dans le générateur de vapeur, on emploie une pompe refoulante ou une pompe à vide de retour de l'eau condensée, pour introduire celle-ci sous pression dans le générateur. Dans les installations à pompe de retour de l'eau de condensation, la tuyauterie de retour est dimensionnée de manière à ce que l'eau s'écoule par gravité dans le collecteur de retour ou dans la bâche recueillant le produit de condensation 1, record 1, French, - pompe%20%C3%A0%20vide%20de%20retour%20de%20l%27eau%20condens%C3%A9e
