Abstract
An arrangement (400) for removing condensate from a heat exchanger (208) is provided. The arrangement (400) facilitates removal of a condensate from the heat exchanger (208) even when the pressure inside the heat exchanger drops below pressure of a condensate discharge pipe (220). The arrangement (400) operates in a first configuration when the pressure in the heat exchanger (208) is higher than the pressure in the condensate discharge pipe (220), and in a second configuration when the pressure in the heat exchanger (208) is lower than the pressure in the condensate discharge pipe (220).
