Abstract
The present application provides a steam discharge pipe blowback protection system for use with a steam discharge pipe and a flow of steam therethrough. The steam discharge pipe blowback protection system may include a vent stack pipe and a drip pan with an exit end of the steam discharge pipe extending through the drip pan and into the vent stack pipe. The drip pan includes a slide plate positioned around the steam discharge pipe such that a blowback in the flow of steam causes the slide plate to seal the drip pan.
