Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of gas extraction, and in particular to an energy-saving gas pump station separation and purification system. Background Technology
[0002] Gas explosions are one of the most serious safety accidents in coal mines, and are known as the "number one killer in coal mines" due to their suddenness and extreme destructiveness. Therefore, before or during coal mining, it is necessary to construct boreholes and roadways on the ground or underground, and use the negative pressure generated by extraction equipment (vacuum pumps, pipelines, etc.) to actively extract the gas (mainly methane) contained in the coal seam and surrounding rock and transport it to a safe location or facility.
[0003] For example, patent application CN108661696B discloses a fully enclosed energy-saving system for gas extraction pumps based on drag-reducing working fluid. This system includes a gas purification system, a gas extraction pump working fluid circulation system, a replenishment system, and a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The gas in the extraction pipeline carries some coal ash, which is then purified by a cyclone dust suppression device. This system can significantly improve the operating efficiency and water-saving capacity of gas extraction pump stations, significantly reduce the cost of drag-reducing fluid, save manpower and resources, and has wide applications.
[0004] However, gas extraction carries a large amount of coal ash particles. Although cyclone dust suppression devices can handle some of the coal ash particles, some still enter the working fluid (usually water) circulation system of the gas extraction pump (water ring pump, etc.) and circulate with the working fluid, further accumulating. The high-speed particulate-containing liquid flow returning from the high-pressure exhaust zone to the low-pressure zone will concentrate near the exhaust zone, causing the strongest "cutting" or "erosion" on the inner wall of the pump cavity here. This results in uneven wear of the pump cavity, and the inner wall of the pump cavity is no longer a regular cylinder, but rather "wavy" or "elliptical" in the circumferential direction. The irregular inner cavity shape destroys the stability of the water ring, thereby affecting the extraction efficiency and potentially inducing aerodynamic noise and mechanical vibration.
[0005] Currently, coal ash particles are often treated by periodically changing the working fluid. However, frequent changes to the working fluid require equipment shutdown, affecting normal gas extraction and wasting the working fluid. How to reduce uneven wear of the pump chamber by coal ash particles, reduce the frequency of working fluid changes, and minimize working fluid waste has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

Further, the telescopic cylinder can be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder, and the telescopic cylinder is provided with telescopic kinetic energy through an external power supply system, hydraulic system, or pneumatic system.
[0021] Preferably, the cyclone dust removal mechanism includes a horizontal cyclone and a vertical cyclone. The horizontal cyclone includes a cylindrical body, a fixed guide impeller installed at the air inlet of the cylindrical body, and a cyclone booster installed in the middle of the cylindrical body. The cyclone booster includes a conical hollow guide shroud fixedly installed inside the cylindrical body, a moving impeller rotatably installed at the end of the conical hollow guide shroud, and a driver that provides power for the rotation of the moving impeller. The outlet end of the cylindrical body is provided with a vortex outlet channel. The air inlet end of the vertical cyclone is connected to the air outlet end of the vortex outlet channel.

The driver is preferably an electric motor, but a hydraulic motor or pneumatic motor or other equivalent components can also be used.
[0022] Preferably, it also includes a reflux pipe, on which a heat exchanger is installed.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an energy-saving gas pump station separation and purification system with the following beneficial effects: In this energy-saving gas pump station separation and purification system, the gas gas flow containing coal ash particles drawn by the main pump enters the separation tank. The gas flow pressure decreases upon entering the separation tank, and water vapor and coal ash particles form droplets that eventually settle in the liquid collection chamber. Meanwhile, the lift pump lifts the settling working fluid from the bottom of the separation tank to the liquid distribution plate and distributes it to each solid-gas-liquid separation component. The working fluid flows down from each inclined guide plate in the guide tube and forms water. In the working fluid, coal ash particles are filtered and trapped by a porous filter layer. After entering the guide tube, the gas travels along a tortuous path. Small droplets in the gas come into contact with the working fluid flowing in the guide tube and are further captured. This achieves effective gas-liquid separation, reduces the amount of working fluid carried out during gas discharge, and further filters and removes coal ash particles entering the working fluid, further reducing the amount of coal ash particles in the working fluid. This reduces the uneven wear rate of the water ring pump chamber, extends the replacement interval of the working fluid, and greatly saves the amount of working fluid used.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0036] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The energy-saving gas pump station separation and purification system includes a cyclone dust removal mechanism, a main pump, and a working fluid filtration mechanism. The outlet of the cyclone dust removal mechanism is connected to the inlet of the main pump, and the working fluid filtration mechanism is used to filter the working fluid in the main pump.
[0039] The cyclone dust removal mechanism includes a horizontal cyclone and a vertical cyclone 26. The horizontal cyclone includes a cylinder 27, a fixed guide impeller 28 installed at the air inlet of the cylinder 27, and a cyclone booster installed in the middle of the cylinder 27. The cyclone booster includes a conical hollow guide shroud 29 fixedly installed inside the cylinder 27, a moving impeller 30 rotatably installed at the end of the conical hollow guide shroud 29, and a driver 31 that provides power for the rotation of the moving impeller 30. The outlet end of the cylinder 27 is provided with a vortex outlet channel 32. The air inlet end of the vertical cyclone 26 is connected to the air outlet end of the vortex outlet channel 32. The top gas outlet end of the vertical cyclone 26 is connected to the interior of the air inlet port of the cylinder 27. Furthermore, the driver 31 is installed inside the conical hollow guide shroud 29. The driver 31 is preferably an electric motor, but a hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor or other equivalent components can also be used.
[0040] The working fluid filtration mechanism includes a separation tank 3, a booster pump 1, and a reflux pump 2. The separation tank 3 is fixed on a sedimentation tank 38. A solid-gas-liquid separator 4 is installed inside the separation tank 3. The booster pump 1 is used to draw the working fluid in the sedimentation tank 38 to the upper part of the separation tank 3. The reflux pump 2 is used to transport the filtered working fluid to the main pump.
[0041] The separator 3 is equipped with an orifice plate assembly, which divides the separator 3 into a two-stage separation chamber 5, a first-stage separation chamber, and a liquid collection chamber 6 from top to bottom. The reflux pump 2 is used to replenish the working fluid in the liquid collection chamber 6 to the main pump. The outlet of the main pump is connected to the first-stage separation chamber. The solid-gas-liquid separator 4 is installed in the second-stage separation chamber 5.
[0042] The liquid collection chamber 6 is connected to the interior of the sedimentation tank 38. The input end of the lift pump 1 extends to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 38, and the input end of the return pump 2 extends to the upper part of the sedimentation tank 38. Furthermore, the sedimentation tank 38 is equipped with necessary liquid level observation ports and addition ports. The liquid level in the sedimentation tank 38 should be higher than the height of the inlet of the return pump 2. When the liquid level in the sedimentation tank 38 is low, working fluid needs to be added to the sedimentation tank 38 in a timely manner through the addition port. After long-term use (7-10 days), the working fluid in the sedimentation tank 38 needs to be replaced, and necessary agents such as scale inhibitors and drag reducers should be added to the working fluid.
[0043] It also includes a return pipe 33, on which a heat exchanger 34 is installed. One end of the return pipe 33 is connected to the outlet end of the return pump 2, and the other end of the return pipe 33 is connected to the inside of the main pump. Furthermore, the return pipe 33 is equipped with necessary functional valves such as temperature sensors, electromagnetic flow meters, and valves, which will not be described in detail here. The heat exchanger 34 is connected to an external cooling water device to cool the working fluid flowing through the return pipe 33.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 3The main pump for air extraction includes two pump end seats 23, a cylindrical pump body 24, and an eccentric impeller 25. The cylindrical pump body 24 is rotatably mounted between the two pump end seats 23, and the eccentric impeller 25 is rotatably mounted at the eccentric part of the pump cavity formed by the pump end seats 23 and the cylindrical pump body 24. The eccentric impeller 25 is powered by a motor.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figures 4-7 The solid-gas-liquid separator 4 includes multiple guide tubes 7, multiple guide filters built into the guide tubes 7, and a liquid distribution plate for supplying liquid to the multiple guide tubes 7. The lift pump 1 is used to lift the liquid working fluid at the bottom of the separator 3 into the liquid distribution plate. The guide filter includes a mounting rod 8, multiple inclined guide plates 9 evenly distributed on the mounting rod 8, and a porous filter material layer 10 installed on the top of the inclined guide plates 9. Furthermore, the inclination directions of adjacent inclined guide plates 9 are opposite.
[0046] Multiple inclined guide plates 9 are inclined downwards at one end near the mounting rod 8, and two adjacent inclined guide plates 9 are located on both sides of the mounting rod 8. The porous filter media layer 10 can be made of activated carbon, volcanic rock, ceramsite, etc. The distance between two adjacent inclined guide plates 9 is at least sufficient to allow the liquid flow from the upper inclined guide plate 9 to the connection between the lower inclined guide plate 9 and the guide cylinder 7. The end of the inclined guide plate 9 near the mounting rod 8 extends beyond the mounting rod 8 to ensure that the liquid flow falls smoothly to the porous filter media layer 10 on the lower inclined guide plate 9. The separation tank 3 is equipped with an exhaust pipe that communicates with the interior of the secondary separation chamber 5. Furthermore, the top of the separation tank 3 is detachably fitted with a cover. The mounting rod 8 is a threaded rod, and the bottom of the guide cylinder 7 is fitted with a bow frame. The threaded rod is screwed into the bow frame to facilitate the complete removal of the guide filter components for cleaning or replacement. It should be noted that the liquid flow rate in the guide cylinder 7 should not be too large to prevent interference with the passage of gas.
[0047] For details, please refer to Figure 6 The liquid distribution plate includes a plate body 35 and multiple liquid distribution grooves 36 installed at the bottom of the plate body 35, which are arranged corresponding to the guide tubes 7. The liquid distribution grooves 36 are provided with multiple circumferentially distributed liquid flow holes 37. Furthermore, the liquid flow holes 37 are located above the inner wall of the guide tube 7. A gap is left between the bottom of the plate body 35 and the top of the guide tube 7 to allow the gas flow to pass through. The flow rate of the working fluid entering the guide tube 7 can be controlled by changing the diameter and number of the liquid flow holes 37. Alternatively, a flow adjustment valve can be installed at the liquid flow holes 37 to adjust the flow rate of the working fluid entering the guide tube 7.
[0048] The energy-saving gas pump station separation and purification system provided in this embodiment features a sedimentation tank 38 that increases the capacity of the working fluid. The working fluid can settle within the sedimentation tank 38, where coal ash particles settle to the bottom under gravity. The upper layer of purified liquid is pumped into the main extraction pump via a return pump 2 to replenish the working fluid, further reducing the amount of coal ash particles entering the main extraction pump and thus reducing wear on the pump chamber. The remaining sedimented working fluid in the sedimentation tank 38 is then lifted... Pump 1 pumps the liquid into the disc 35, and distributes it to each solid-gas-liquid separator 4 through the liquid distribution groove 36 on the disc 35. The working liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet 37 can be dispersed into the solid-gas-liquid separator 4, and ensure that the working liquid drips to the edge of the connection between the inclined guide plate 9 and the guide cylinder 7, which is conducive to the formation of water curtain in the guide cylinder 7. The heat exchanger 34 can cool down the working liquid entering the main pump to reduce the temperature in the pump cavity. The reduction in pump cavity temperature can slow down the wear of the inner wall of the pump cavity.
[0049] Under the negative pressure of the water ring vacuum pump body, gas and coal ash particles enter the cylinder 27. Under the action of the fixed guide impeller 28, the airflow enters the cylinder 27 in a swirling state. The driver 31 drives the impeller 30 to rotate, further improving the swirling effect of the airflow. Under the swirling action, because the mass of coal ash particles is greater than that of gas molecules, the coal ash particles spiral along the inner wall of the cylinder 27. Under the action of the vortex outlet channel 32, the coal ash particles enter the vertical hydrocyclone 26. The swirling air inlet end and the top air outlet end of the vertical hydrocyclone 26 are connected to the air outlet port and air inlet port of the cylinder 27, respectively. The negative pressure at the air outlet end of the cylinder 27 is greater than the negative pressure at the air inlet port. The pressure creates a pressure difference between the swirling inlet and the top outlet of the vertical hydrocyclone 26. Under the action of the pressure difference, the gas flow is forced to flow back into the cylinder 27, preventing some gas from being discharged through the vertical hydrocyclone 26. Under the dual swirling action of the horizontal hydrocyclone and the vertical hydrocyclone 26, coal ash particles are effectively removed, further reducing the amount of coal ash particles that follow the gas into the main pump, and further delaying the wear of the pump chamber. At the same time, under the swirling pressurization effect of the swirling pressurizer on the gas flowing through the cylinder 27, the influence of the cyclone dust removal mechanism on the flow rate and velocity of the gas can be compensated, ensuring the smooth suction of the main pump and improving the gas extraction efficiency of the main pump.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] The energy-saving gas pump station separation and purification system provided in Example 1 has been further optimized. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 7The solid-gas-liquid separator 4 also includes multiple cyclone separators 11. A spacer plate 12 is provided in the primary separation chamber, which divides the primary separation chamber into an upper chamber 13 and a lower chamber 14. Multiple cyclone separators 11 are evenly distributed in the lower chamber 14. Each cyclone separator 11 includes a diverter pipe 15 and a cyclone guide. Multiple through holes 16 corresponding to the cyclone separators 11 are provided between the lower chamber 14 and the liquid collection chamber 6. The top of the diverter pipe 15 passes through the spacer plate 12 and communicates with the upper chamber 13. The bottom of the diverter pipe 15 extends into the liquid collection chamber 6 through the through hole 16. The cyclone guide is installed at the junction of the diverter pipe 15 and the through hole 16.
[0052] The swirling guide includes two arc-shaped plates 17 and a top plate 18 and a bottom plate 19 fixedly installed on the diverter pipe 15. The two arc-shaped plates 17, the top plate 18, and the bottom plate 19 form a swirling cavity, which communicates with the liquid collecting cavity 6. The top of the liquid collecting cavity 6 is equipped with multiple constricted tubes 20 arranged corresponding to the swirling guide. Two swirling air inlets 21 facing opposite directions are formed between the two arc-shaped plates 17. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the through hole 16 is larger than the outer diameter of the diverter pipe 15 to allow airflow to pass through. The air inlet end of the guide tube 7 is connected to the upper cavity. The upper part of the 13 is connected, and two arc-shaped plates 17 are located between the top plate 18 and the bottom plate 19 and are symmetrically staggered. The inside of the constricted tube 20 is connected to the inside of the vortex cavity, and the small diameter end of the constricted tube 20 faces downward. The outlet of the main pump is connected to the lower cavity 14, and one of the vortex inlets 21 faces the connection between the outlet of the main pump and the lower cavity 14. The constricted tube 20 can promote the accumulation of droplets and coal ash particles in the middle, which is conducive to the formation and continuation of the vortex and prolongs the contact time between droplets and coal ash particles in the gas flow.
[0053] One of the swirl inlets 21 directly "captures" the airflow entering the lower cavity, while the other corresponding swirl inlet 21 can "capture" the reverse airflow in the lower cavity to ensure that the airflow smoothly enters the swirl cavity. The two swirl inlets 21 can create a better swirling effect in the swirl cavity, promoting the aggregation of water vapor and coal ash particles.
[0054] A heat exchange box 22 is installed at the top of the lower cavity 14, and multiple diversion pipes 15 pass through the heat exchange box 22; furthermore, the separator 3 is equipped with necessary functional pipes or valves such as a refrigerant inlet pipe and a refrigerant outlet pipe, as well as a vent pipe and a temperature sensor, which are connected to the inside of the heat exchange box 22. These will not be described in detail here; the diversion pipes 15 are preferably copper pipes with good thermal conductivity.
[0055] The energy-saving gas pump station separation and purification system provided in this embodiment allows the gas flow discharged from the main pump outlet to enter the lower cavity 14. The gas flow is dispersed into each vortex cavity through each vortex inlet 21 and forms a vortex. Under the action of the vortex guide and the constriction tube 20, the water vapor and coal ash particles in the gas flow can be further promoted to aggregate with each other, and the water vapor and coal ash particles can be promoted to form droplets and then separate from the gas, thereby improving the capture effect of water vapor and dust particles in the gas. External refrigerant can be injected into the heat exchange box 22 and take away the heat at the branch pipe 15, thereby reducing the temperature at each branch pipe 15. After the gas flow entering the lower cavity 14 comes into contact with the outer wall of the branch pipe 15, some droplets condense upon cooling. The droplets in the gas flow entering the branch pipe 15 come into contact with the inner wall of the branch pipe 15 and condense, further reducing the water vapor content in the gas flow, thereby reducing the amount of working fluid that escapes with the gas and further saving the amount of working fluid used.
[0056] The energy-saving gas pump station separation and purification system provided by this invention operates as follows: After the main pump starts, a negative pressure is generated in the cyclone dust collector connected to its inlet. Gas and coal ash particles are drawn into the cyclone dust collector, where the coal ash particles are pretreated. Subsequently, the gas and some coal ash particles are pressurized by the main pump and sent to the lower chamber 14 of the separation tank 3. Multiple cyclone separators 11 perform primary separation of water vapor and coal ash particles in the gas. Under the condensation effect of the cyclone and the low-temperature diversion pipe 15, the water vapor and coal ash particles agglomerate and form droplets, which then drip into the sedimentation tank. The gas settles in the sedimentation tank 38. The gas flows through the inside of the diversion pipe 15 to the upper part of the separation tank 3. Then the gas enters the solid-gas-liquid separator 4. The lift pump 1 pressurizes the sediment at the bottom of the sedimentation tank 38 and injects it into each solid-gas-liquid separator 4 through the liquid distribution plate. The solid-gas-liquid separator 4 further captures droplets and coal ash particles in the gas and filters the coal ash particles in the working fluid. The treated gas is directly discharged or utilized, while the working fluid flows back to the sedimentation tank 38. The reflux pump 2 pumps the treated working fluid into the main pump to circulate and replenish the working fluid in the main pump.
