These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0041] In the related art, a separator is usually used to separate the gas and liquid in the gas-liquid mixture from each other.

[0042] The separator is usually composed of a cylindrical cylinder, with a feed port at one end and a gas outlet and a liquid discharge port at the other end. When in use, a gas-liquid mixture is input into the cylinder from the feed port, and the gas-liquid mixture is separated in the cylinder, and then the gas is discharged from the gas outlet and the liquid is discharged from the liquid discharge port.

[0043] However, during use of the above separator, the flow effect of the gas-liquid mixture in the cylinder is poor, so that the gas and liquid are not completely separated, resulting in a poor gas-liquid separation effect.

[0044] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a horizontal separator, which is provided by: a cylinder, one end of the cylinder in the extension direction is provided with a feed inlet, and the other end of the cylinder in the extension direction is provided with a gas outlet and a liquid outlet; a plurality of baffles, the baffles are arranged in the cylinder, each baffle is respectively connected to the opposite ends of the cylinder, and each baffle is sequentially spaced and staggered along the extension direction of the cylinder; a demister, the demister is arranged in the cylinder, and the demister blocks the gas outlet. Therefore, when in use, the gas-liquid mixture is passed into the cylinder from the feed inlet, and then the gas-liquid mixture flows in turn under the guidance of each baffle, thereby improving the flow effect of the gas-liquid mixture in the cylinder, which is conducive to the separation of gas from the gas-liquid mixture, and finally the gas is output from the gas outlet, and the liquid is output from the liquid outlet, thereby improving the gas-liquid separation effect; in addition, when the gas flows toward the gas outlet, part of the mist droplets in the gas will be captured by the demister, further improving the purity of the gas after separation, thereby solving the problem of poor gas-liquid separation effect when the separator in the prior art is used.

[0045] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a horizontal separator provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0047] The cylinder 100 has a feed port 200 at one end of the cylinder 100 in the extending direction, and a gas outlet 300 and a liquid outlet 400 at the other end of the cylinder 100 in the extending direction;

[0048] A plurality of baffles 500 are arranged in the cylinder 100, and each baffle 500 is connected to two opposite ends of the cylinder 100, and each baffle 500 is sequentially spaced and staggeredly distributed along the extension direction of the cylinder 100, so that after the gas-liquid mixture enters the cylinder 100 from the feed inlet 200, it will flow under the guidance of each baffle 500 in sequence, and after gas-liquid separation, the gas is output from the gas outlet 300, and the liquid is output from the liquid outlet 400;

[0049] The demister 600 is disposed in the cylinder 100 , and the demister 600 blocks the gas outlet 300 . The demister 600 is used to absorb some liquid droplets in the gas.

[0050] like Figure 1As shown, specifically, the cylinder 100 is a columnar structure, and the cylinder 100 is hollow. The cylinder 100 is arranged horizontally, and one end of the cylinder 100 in the extending direction is provided with a feed port 200 connected to the inside of the cylinder 100; the other end of the cylinder 100 in the extending direction is provided with an air outlet 300 and a liquid outlet 400 connected to the inside of the cylinder 100. The air outlet 300 is located at the top of the cylinder 100, and the liquid outlet 400 is located at the bottom of the cylinder 100.

[0051] During implementation, illustratively, the cylinder 100 can be configured to include a head 110 and a main body 120, the main body 120 is columnar, the interior of the main body 120 is hollow and one end in the extension direction is an open structure; the head 110 can be connected to the main body 120 by screwing or other means, and the head 110 closes the opening of the main body 120 to jointly construct a cylinder 100 with a closed space inside.

[0052] The deflectors 500 are disposed in the cylinder 100 , and each deflector 500 is distributed between the feed port 200 and the liquid outlet 400 . The deflectors 500 are sequentially spaced and staggeredly distributed along the extension direction of the cylinder 100 .

[0053] The demister 600 is disposed in the barrel 100 . The demister 600 is located below the air outlet 300 , and the demister 600 blocks the air outlet 300 .

[0054] When in use, the gas-liquid mixture is passed into the cylinder 100 from the feed port 200, and then the gas-liquid mixture flows under the guidance of each deflector 500 in turn, thereby increasing the flow distance of the gas-liquid mixture, improving the flow effect of the gas-liquid mixture in the cylinder 100, and facilitating the separation of gas from the gas-liquid mixture. Finally, the gas is output from the gas outlet, and the liquid is output from the liquid outlet, thereby improving the gas-liquid separation effect. In addition, when the gas flows toward the gas outlet 300, some mist droplets in the gas will be captured by the demister 600, further improving the purity of the gas after separation, thereby solving the problem of poor gas-liquid separation effect when the separator is used in the prior art.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the multiple baffles 500 include a plurality of first baffles 510 and a plurality of second baffles 520, the plurality of first baffles 510 are all arranged at the upper portion of the cylinder 100, the plurality of second baffles 520 are all arranged at the lower portion of the cylinder 100, and the first baffles 510 and the second baffles 520 are spaced apart and staggered.

[0056] Among them, multiple first baffles 510 are connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 100, the multiple first baffles 510 are all located at the upper part of the cylinder 100, and the first baffles 510 extend vertically, and the multiple first baffles 510 are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the cylinder 100.

[0057] A plurality of second baffles 520 are connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 100 , are located at the lower portion of the cylinder 100 , and extend vertically. The plurality of second baffles 520 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the cylinder 100 .

[0058] The plurality of first baffles 510 and the plurality of second baffles 520 are staggered, and it should be noted that the lower end of the first baffle 510 extends below the upper end of the second baffle 520. An S-shaped channel is formed in the cylinder 100 through the first baffles 510 and the second baffles 520. This facilitates guiding the gas-liquid mixture entering the cylinder 100, and increases the flow rate and flow duration of the gas-liquid mixture.

[0059] During implementation, the first baffle 510 / the second baffle 520 can be fixed to the cylinder 100 by welding, screwing or other methods.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, further, one end of the first baffle 510 away from the cylinder 100 is inclined toward a side close to the feed port 200;

[0061] An end of the second baffle 520 away from the barrel 100 is inclined toward a side away from the feed port 200 .

[0062] Hence, see Figure 2 The liquid flow direction in the flow chamber is such that when the gas-liquid mixture passes through the second baffle plate 520, it can fall from the upper end of the second baffle plate 520, thereby increasing the effect of gas overflowing from the liquid, making the gas-liquid separation more thorough and the effect better.

[0063] In addition, the first baffle 510 and the second baffle 520 are both inclined, and the inclination directions correspond to each other. While ensuring a better gas-liquid separation effect, the overall size of the cylinder 100 can be reduced, the size of the cylinder 100 can be reduced, which is beneficial to saving costs, reducing space occupancy, and facilitating installation.

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first baffle plate 510 is provided with a plurality of air flow holes 511 penetrating the first baffle plate 510 .

[0065] Thus, after the gas is separated from the liquid, the gas will flow upward, and then the gas will pass through the first baffles 510 in sequence through the gas flow holes 511, and finally be output from the gas outlet 300. The provided gas flow holes 511 can reduce the possibility that the first baffles 510 will hinder the flow of gas.

[0066] In this embodiment, a plurality of gas flow holes 511 are concentratedly distributed on the upper part of the first baffle 510. Thus, the upper part and the lower part of the first baffle 510 have different functions, that is, the separated gas can flow freely from the upper part of the first baffle 510, and the lower part of the first baffle 510 can provide a baffle effect on the liquid, ensuring that the liquid has a better flow effect.

[0067] Furthermore, the height of the first baffle 510 and / or the height of the second baffle 520 are both 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the diameter of the cylinder 100. Thus, while ensuring a better separation effect, the possibility of the first baffle 510 or the second baffle 520 being too high affecting the flow of gas can be reduced.

[0068] In other embodiments, a gap may be provided between the upper end of the first baffle plate 510 and the top wall of the cylinder 100 to enable gas circulation at the first baffle plate 510 through the gap.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the demister 600 includes a demister wire mesh, which is laid inside the cylinder 100 and is located between the gas outlet 300 and the liquid.

[0070] Specifically, the demisting element 600 includes a demisting wire mesh, which is horizontally arranged in the cylinder 100 and can be connected to the cylinder 100 by screwing, pinning, welding or other methods. The demisting wire mesh divides the internal space of the cylinder 100, so that the demisting wire mesh is located above the liquid and below the gas outlet 300, so that after the gas is separated from the liquid, the gas needs to pass through the demisting wire mesh before being output from the gas outlet 300.

[0071] During implementation, multiple layers of demisting screens may be arranged in the cylinder 100 . Of course, the demisting screens may also be arranged to cover only the air outlet 300 , and there is no limitation to this.

[0072] When the gas is separated from the liquid, some liquid droplets will often be discharged from the gas outlet 300 along with the gas. In this regard, by setting a demisting screen, when the gas passes through the demisting screen, some mist-like liquid droplets in the gas will be captured by the demisting screen, further improving the purity of the gas after separation and the gas-liquid separation effect. In addition, when the number of liquid droplets adsorbed on the demisting screen gradually increases, the liquid droplets will mix with each other and then drip back into the liquid.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the cylinder 100 is provided with a balance port 700, the balance port 700 is located at the bottom of the cylinder 100, and the balance port 700 is located between the feed port 200 and the liquid outlet 400;

[0074] The cylinder 100 is provided with a regulating valve 710 for controlling the opening and closing of the balance port 700 .

[0075] Specifically, the balance port 700 is located in the middle of the bottom of the cylinder 100, and the regulating valve 710 can be a ball valve, a butterfly valve or other forms, which are not limited. During use, the opening and closing of the balance port 700 can be controlled by the regulating valve 710, so as to facilitate the control of the discharge of the liquid in the cylinder 100 according to actual needs, facilitate the adjustment of the liquid level in the cylinder 100, and help ensure a better gas-liquid separation effect.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, a avoidance hole 521 is also opened at the bottom of the second baffle 520, and the avoidance hole 521 penetrates the second baffle 520 to facilitate part of the liquid to flow between the two sides of the second baffle 520, thereby facilitating the regulation of the liquid level in the area between two adjacent second baffles 520.

[0077] During implementation, a regulating valve 710 may be further provided at the liquid outlet 400 to control the flow of liquid at the liquid outlet 400 and improve the use effect.

[0078] In addition, in order to facilitate the control of the liquid level in the cylinder 100, a liquid level gauge 800 can be provided on the cylinder 100, and the liquid level gauge 800 is used to detect the depth of the liquid in the cylinder 100. The liquid level gauge 800 is located outside the cylinder 100, and the model of the liquid level gauge 800 is not limited, as long as it can detect the depth of the liquid in the cylinder 100.

[0079] In summary, the horizontal separator provided by the embodiment of the present application, when in use, passes the gas-liquid mixture from the feed port 200 into the cylinder 100, and then the gas-liquid mixture flows under the guidance of each deflector 500 in turn, thereby increasing the flow distance of the gas-liquid mixture, improving the flow effect of the gas-liquid mixture in the cylinder 100, and facilitating the separation of gas from the gas-liquid mixture, and finally the gas is output from the gas outlet, and the liquid is output from the liquid outlet, thereby improving the gas-liquid separation effect. In addition, when the gas flows toward the gas outlet 300, some of the mist-like liquid droplets in the gas will be captured by the demister 600, further improving the purity of the gas after separation, thereby solving the problem of poor gas-liquid separation effect when the separator in the prior art is used.

[0080] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present invention after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein. The present invention is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the present invention, which follow the general principles of the present invention and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the art not disclosed by the present invention, are not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the drawings, and may be modified and changed in various ways without departing from the scope thereof.
