Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a corrugated steam-water separation and noise reduction and silencing integrated device, belonging to the technical field of fluid machinery and noise control. Background Art
[0002] In the industrial field, steam ejectors are widely used in various systems. Their working principle is to introduce high-pressure steam to propel or compress low-pressure steam or other gases. However, the gas discharged from the steam ejector usually contains a large number of droplets, forming a steam cloud at the outlet. To reduce the size of the steam cloud formed at the flue gas outlet, it is necessary to reduce the water droplet content discharged with the flue gas and control the liquefaction and diffusion of the discharged flue gas. In addition, during the operation of the steam ejector, due to the high-speed passage of the airflow and the turbulent effect, significant noise is generated. This noise not only affects the working environment of the operators, but also causes noise pollution to the surrounding environment. Therefore, it is necessary to design an appropriate steam-water separator and noise reduction muffler in the steam ejector system.
[0003] In the prior art, steam-water separators and noise reduction silencers are usually installed independently, and this separate design has many defects. First, the installation of two independent devices requires more space and pipe connections, which increases the complexity and space occupied by the system. Secondly, the independent maintenance and cleaning process is relatively cumbersome, which increases the workload of operators and the maintenance cost of the system. In addition, traditional silencers usually adopt a simple pipe structure, which has a limited sound elimination effect and is prone to resonance at high flow rates, further increasing the noise reduction effect. It is limited and cannot fully meet the requirements in high noise environments. Therefore, the development of a device that integrates steam-water separation and noise reduction and silencer functions, which can not only effectively separate droplets but also significantly reduce noise, has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently in the current technical field. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (1) Technical Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention
[0005] Integrating steam-water separation and noise reduction functions into one device simplifies the system structure, reduces space occupation and installation complexity.
[0006] (2) Technical solution of the present invention
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a corrugated steam-water separation muffler, a combined device for steam-water separation and noise reduction.
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0009] A corrugated steam-water separation muffler, comprising a corrugated plate 1, a sound-absorbing perforated plate 6, a water leakage perforated plate 3, and a water collecting tank 4;
[0010] The corrugated plate 1 has a bending angle of 120° and is a three-sided default structure design. It is combined with the sound-absorbing perforated plates 6 on the front and back sides and the water leakage perforated plate 3 at the bottom to form a corrugated bent pipe with a four-sided sealing effect.
[0011] The water collecting box 4 is provided with a leak hole support plate 4b at the top and a drain pipe 5 at the bottom. Wing plates 4a are provided on the outside of the water collecting box 4 on both sides. The two side wing plates 4a and the water tank support plates 7 on the corrugated plate are combined into a drawer-type structure. The corrugated bent pipe is connected to the water collecting box 4 in a drawer-type combination to form the corrugated bent pipe.
[0012] Connecting flanges 2 are provided at both ends of the corrugated plate 1, a water tank support plate 7 is provided inside the connecting flanges 2, and a sound-absorbing perforated plate supporting beam 8 is connected between the connecting flanges; the bending angle of the sound-absorbing perforated plate supporting beam 8 is set to 120° to cooperate with supporting the sound-absorbing perforated plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the sound-absorbing perforated plate 6 uses a micro-perforated plate as a panel, and the hollow portion is filled with a porous metal material.
[0014] Furthermore, the length of the corrugated bent pipe is 1200 mm, and the corrugated plate 1 is configured to be wavy to achieve steam-water separation.
[0015] Furthermore, the butt joint angle of different sound-absorbing perforated panels is 120°.
[0016] Furthermore, the corrugated steam-water separation muffler has a higher noise reduction effect on noise with a frequency higher than 1000 Hz.
[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of the corrugated steam-water separation silencer devices are connected in series via connecting flanges to achieve better steam-water separation and noise reduction and silencing effects.
[0018] Furthermore, the gas discharged from the steam ejector enters the corrugated bent pipe, and the separated droplets flow down along the inner wall of the pipe, and are collected in the water collecting tank 4 through the small holes of the leaking orifice plate 3 at the bottom of the corrugated bent pipe, and finally discharged from the system through the drain pipe 5, ensuring the timely discharge of the liquid in the device and avoiding the impact of liquid accumulation on system performance.
[0019] Compared with existing steam-water separators and noise reduction mufflers, the design of the integrated corrugated steam-water separator muffler can perform steam-water separation and noise reduction at the same time, which speeds up the efficiency of droplet separation, reduces the size of the steam cloud formed at the flue gas outlet and significantly reduces noise. It also reduces the number of independent components, simplifies maintenance, improves the system's operational reliability, saves space in the overall structure, and reduces overall usage costs.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned integrated design layout of steam-water separation and noise reduction muffler include:

[0022] (2) Forming efficient steam-water separation and significant noise reduction effect;

[0030] (Figure symbols: 1 corrugated plate; 2 connecting flange; 3 water leakage orifice plate; 4 water collecting tank: 4a wing plate, 4b water leakage orifice plate support; 5 drainage pipe; 6 sound-absorbing orifice plate; 7 water tank support plate; 8 sound-absorbing orifice plate support beam) DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The specific structure and technical effects of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a corrugated steam-water separation muffler, comprising: a corrugated plate 1, a sound-absorbing perforated plate 6, a water leakage perforated plate 3, and a water collecting box 4;
[0033] The corrugated plate 1, with a 120° bend angle and a three-sided default structure, combines with the front and rear sound-absorbing perforated plates 6 and the bottom water-leaking perforated plate 3 to form a corrugated curved pipe, providing a four-sided seal. The corrugated curved pipe is 1200mm long. The corrugated plate 1 is designed in a wavy shape to achieve steam-water separation.
[0034] The sound-absorbing perforated plate 6 is constructed from a micro-perforated plate, with the hollow portion filled with a porous metal material. The use of porous metal in this application offers significant advantages, as it maintains its noise reduction and sound absorption properties even in a soda-water environment, achieving resistive sound absorption. Furthermore, the porous metal material itself exhibits capillary action, effectively absorbing droplets during the soda-water separation process and improving separation efficiency. This design fully absorbs sound waves in the airflow, reducing noise. Furthermore, installing the perforated metal plates on both sides effectively reduces muffler costs and is easier to adjust and replace than cylindrical mufflers, offering significant technical and economic advantages.
[0035] Connecting flanges 2 are provided at both ends of the corrugated plate 1, and a plurality of the corrugated steam-water separation silencers are connected in series through the connecting flanges to achieve better steam-water separation and noise reduction and silencing effects.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the water collection tank 4 is equipped with a water leakage hole support plate 4b on the top and a drain pipe 5 on the bottom. Wing plates 4a are provided on the outer sides of the water collection tank 4. The two side wings 4a and the water tank support plate 7 on the corrugated plate are combined into a drawer-like structure. The corrugated curved pipe is connected to the water collection tank 4 in a drawer-like manner to form the corrugated curved pipe. This facilitates assembly and disassembly, easy replacement of parts, and maximizes space utilization.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a water tank support plate 7 is provided inside the flange 2, and a sound-absorbing perforated plate support beam 8 is connected between the muffler flanges. The bending angle of the sound-absorbing perforated plate support beam 8 is set to 120 degrees to support the muffler perforated plate and the porous sound-absorbing material.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, during specific implementation, the gas discharged from the steam ejector enters the corrugated bent pipe, which improves the efficiency of steam-water separation. The separated droplets flow down along the inner wall of the pipe, and are collected into the water collecting box 4 through the small holes of the leaky orifice plate 3 at the bottom of the pipe, and finally discharged from the system through the drain pipe 5, ensuring the timely discharge of the liquid in the device and avoiding the impact of accumulated liquid on the system performance. The leaky orifice plate designed here not only has the function of collecting droplets, but also forms a cavity in combination with the water collector at the bottom. By changing the aperture size of the leaky orifice plate, it can achieve the absorption of sound waves of different frequencies, further enhancing the noise reduction effect. While separating the steam and water, hollow sound-absorbing orifice plates 6 are installed on the front and back sides of the corrugated bent pipe. The micro-perforated plate on its surface and the foam metal material filling the internal cavity fully absorb the sound waves in the airflow to achieve the purpose of reducing noise.
[0039] The gas discharged from the steam ejector enters the flow channel, which is designed with a wavy shape in the middle to achieve steam-water separation. The wave-shaped pipe has a bend angle of 120° and a length of 1200mm. Compared with straight mufflers, the wave-shaped steam-water separation muffler has a higher noise reduction rate for noise frequencies above 1000Hz, and the wave-shaped steam-water separation muffler has a better peak noise reduction rate.
[0040] In summary, the present invention provides an integrated steam-water separation and noise reduction muffler. By combining the steam-water separation and noise reduction functions into one, the system structure is significantly simplified, the occupied space and installation complexity are reduced. The device utilizes corrugated bent pipes and sound-absorbing perforated plates with micro-perforated plates as panels, and the hollow part is filled with sound-absorbing foam metal material to achieve efficient droplet separation and noise control, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the steam-water system. The corrugated plate and the water collection tank are connected in a drawer-type combination, making the system easy to replace parts, improving maintenance convenience, and significantly reducing costs.
