1. A condensate discharge system comprising:
a condensate separator in which a positive pressure prevails;
an outflow line in which atmospheric pressure prevails;
a connecting line;
an intermediate reservoir in which the positive pressure prevails, the intermediate reservoir being arranged between the condensate separator and the outflow line and being directly connected to the condensate separator via the connecting line, the intermediate reservoir comprising a float valve via which a condensate is dischargeable into the outflow line; and
a feed pump arranged in a sample gas line upstream of the condensate separator,
wherein,
the condensate discharge system is provided for an exhaust gas measuring device.
