Abstract

A relatively stationary pipe or conduit, for the removal of a condensate or liquid from the interior of a steam heated rotatable drying drum or cylinder assembly and adapted for connection to a source of relatively low or sub-atmospheric pressure, has an inner end portion, disposed within the drum or cylinder assembly, which is provided with an inlet opening or port disposed in juxtaposition and close proximity to an inner cylindrical surface of the cylinder assembly; the inlet opening has a generally rearwardly situated wall which is substantially inclined as with respect to a radial plane of the cylinder assembly as to provide for enhanced transitional flow of the condensate from the inner cylindrical surface of the cylinder assembly to the condensate-removing pipe or conduit.
