Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an adjustable liquid-gas separator for an air compressor. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of an air compressor, liquid lubricating oil needs to be sprayed into the working volume. The lubricating oil is used to reduce the friction and wear of moving pairs, and to seal and cool the working chamber. As a result, the gas discharged from the air compressor often mixes with high-pressure air in the form of atomized lubricating oil. Therefore, before the compressed air is utilized, it needs to pass through a liquid-gas separator to separate the lubricating oil in the compressed air, so as to achieve the effect of clean air. The existing liquid-gas separators generally introduce the air flow into cooling water, liquefy the atomized lubricating oil and separate it in the cooling water, and then the compressed air is discharged from the upper part of the liquid-gas separator. However, with such a structure, when there is too much lubricating oil in the compressed air, the degree of separation cannot be reasonably adjusted, and the use is not efficient. At the same time, when the compressed air is discharged upward, it will come into contact with the floating lubricating oil again, and a small amount of lubricating oil will be carried away by the compressed air and discharged, resulting in incomplete separation.
