ABSTRACT:
A condensation collector for accumulating liquid for input to a pump. The collector is a device which is independent of gravity for feeding a pump collecting condensate from a vapor system. A decreasing cross section condenser is cooled to the dew point of the vapor with which it is in contact, and the interior of the collector can be a highly wettable surface or be lined with a capillary material. The collector itself has a narrow region so that as it approaches the pump input it also acts as a capillary pump. Condensed liquid is therefore fed into the pump by the collector regardless of the absence of gravity.
