Claim Text:
1. A sampling and rejection device for condensate from a boiler or steam generating system, comprising: a collection vessel defining an interior to hold a volume of condensate; an inlet in fluidic communication with the interior of the collection vessel to pass the condensate to the interior; an outlet in fluidic communication with the interior of the collection vessel; the outlet and the inlet are positioned above a bottom floor of the collection vessel in order to allow the volume of the condensate to build up in the collection vessel; a rejection outlet in fluidic communication with the interior of the collection vessel, the rejection outlet positioned in the bottom floor of the collection vessel to allow the condensate to drain from the collection vessel, the rejection outlet engaged to a dump valve to control flow of condensate through the rejection outlet; one or more sampling probes to measure conductivity of the condensate in the interior of the collection vessel; and, a controller in electrical communication with the dump valve and the one or more sampling probes, wherein the controller opens the dump valve based on readings from the one or more sampling probes that exceed a threshold conductivity level or are out of a targeted range of conductivity.
