[0051] Working Principle
[0052] The compressed air containing solid particles and moisture is released in a salt cave or artificial cavern, enters the filter chamber 11 through the air inlet pipe 1, and then enters the upper exhaust chamber, and is then delivered to the heat exchanger through the air outlet pipe 2.
[0053] The moisture in the compressed air is continuously attached on the corrugated plate filter core 4 when passing through the corrugated plate filter core 4, and the water vapor and mist droplets are gathered into water droplets, and finally flow into the continuous water flow along the corrugated plate filter core 4 and the flow guide hopper 14 due to the gravity effect.
[0054] Similarly, the solid particles are more difficult to pass through the corrugated plate filter core 4, and are attached on the corrugated plate filter core 4, and are finally brought into the lower drainage chamber by the water flow formed by the moisture. Since the pressure in the filter chamber 11 is high, the water flow and the solid particles are in the form of a jet flow when they are separated from the flow guide hopper 14. An anti-impact baffle 13 is arranged at the outlet of the flow guide hopper 14 to avoid the impact of the solid particles on the inner wall of the pressure tank body 3. Correspondingly, a shielding cover 6 is fixed on the drainage pipe 8 to prevent the solid particles from falling into the drainage pipe 8.
[0055] Since the inlet height of the drainage pipe 8 is greater than the inlet height of the particle discharge pipe 7, the solid particles are discharged from the pressure tank body 3 through the particle discharge pipe 7, and are cleaned by the cooperation of the blowpipe 12 and the blowpipe branch pipe 19. The solid particles in the lower drainage chamber are discharged regularly to prevent the pipelines from being blocked, and the solid particles accumulated in the lower drainage chamber are cleaned through the manhole 5. The liquid in the lower drainage chamber is discharged from the pressure tank body 3 through the drainage pipe 8.
[0056] The present application has been disclosed in the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, but is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent change and modification of the above-mentioned embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application without departing from the technical solution of the present application are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
