Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of waste gas collection, and specifically relates to a method for improving the waste gas collection efficiency of an arc-shaped top suction hood based on the interface mass-energy ratio. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of industrial ventilation systems, arc-shaped top-suction fume hoods are widely used in work environments that generate harmful pollutants, such as welding, spraying, and grinding. Their core function is to achieve efficient capture of polluting gases or particulate matter through negative pressure suction. However, in practical applications, the collection efficiency of fume hoods often falls short of expectations, and their performance is unstable, seriously affecting workplace air quality and environmental compliance.

[0003] Existing fume hood designs are mostly based on empirical formulas or simplified models, primarily configuring them according to macroscopic parameters such as total exhaust volume, hood opening size, and distance from the pollution source. These methods neglect the complexity of the actual flow field inside the hood, particularly failing to adequately consider the impact of airflow uniformity and stability on pollutant transport. Existing research shows that inappropriate structural design can induce turbulent flow fields within the fume hood, manifesting as airflow short-circuiting, localized backflow, and vortex shedding. These undesirable flow patterns directly lead to uneven velocity distribution and incomplete negative pressure coverage in the capture area, thus limiting the fume hood's capture efficiency and causing pollutant escape. More critically, there is currently no unified and effective quantitative indicator to correlate the flow field distribution characteristics of the fume hood with its collection efficiency. Traditional evaluations often rely on average wind speed or pressure distribution, but these parameters cannot reflect key factors affecting capture stability, such as turbulence intensity and flow separation. Therefore, even if the system meets the design airflow requirements, a phenomenon of "high energy consumption and low efficiency" may still occur. Furthermore, the lack of understanding of the intrinsic mechanism between flow structure and trapping performance during the optimization process often leaves structural improvements at the trial-and-error level, making it difficult to achieve precise control.

[0004] In summary, establishing a new criterion that can characterize the internal flow field state of a gas collection hood and is closely related to collection efficiency, thereby guiding structural design and performance evaluation, has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. This invention aims to address the limitations of existing arc-shaped top-suction gas collection hoods, which rely on empirical design due to a lack of precise quantification of harmful eddies during operation. By introducing scientific evaluation methods and optimization criteria, it promotes the design of gas collection systems towards greater precision and scientific rigor.

[0005] The invention disclosed in CN109622549B provides a method for improving the collection efficiency of a volatile organic compound (VOCs) waste gas collection system. Its core lies in using CFD numerical simulation to regulate and optimize the system structure. The method first establishes a refined CFD model of the waste gas collection system, analyzing the deviation between the airflow of each branch pipe and the designed airflow. To address the airflow imbalance problem, regulating valves are installed on branches with larger deviations, and the valve opening is optimized through iterative simulation to achieve airflow balance between branches. Simultaneously, an isosceles triangular plate structure is added to the hood opening. By adjusting the height and spatial distribution of the triangular plate from its base to its top edge, the flow field at the hood opening is further optimized, reducing eddies and resistance. By combining the regulating valve with the isosceles triangle plate, this invention effectively solves the problem of low gas collection efficiency caused by pressure imbalance in complex pipeline systems. However, while solving the original problem, this solution introduces new structural problems. The added triangle plate structure forms a new physical obstruction and local vortex zone at the hood opening. Although it may improve the overall flow direction, these additional components themselves become new sources of resistance and may lead to particulate matter accumulation under certain operating conditions.

[0006] The invention with publication number CN120654613A proposes a method for vortex suppression structure of servo valve flow channel based on CFD simulation. This method involves constructing a flow field simulation model and combining it with the Q criterion. A multi-criteria fusion algorithm, including criteria and composite tensors, is used to identify vortex core regions. Response surface methodology and genetic algorithms are then employed to perform multi-objective optimization of parameters such as guide vane tilt angle, radius of curvature, and porosity gradient, achieving a certain degree of vortex suppression and improved flow performance. However, this method has certain limitations. First, it relies on complex vortex identification criteria and high-precision CFD post-processing, requiring specialized software and substantial computational resources, making it difficult to quickly determine the presence of significant vortices in the early stages of engineering design or during field operation. Second, this scheme only optimizes specific structures and lacks a universal and concise quantitative index to characterize the intensity and impact of vortices, thus limiting its applicability and preventing unified evaluation across equipment and operating conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems by proposing a method for improving the exhaust gas collection efficiency of an arc-shaped top-suction hood based on the interfacial mass-energy ratio. The interfacial mass-energy ratio R = k / G, where k is the average turbulent kinetic energy and G is the mass flux. This ratio comprehensively characterizes the turbulence cost per unit of effective capture and is significantly positively correlated with eddy volume. By increasing the number of ducts or optimizing their layout to reduce the R value, eddies can be effectively suppressed and flow field uniformity improved, thereby enhancing collection efficiency.

The bottom of the side plate of the arc-shaped top-suction hood has a natural air inlet 2 facing the wind. The windward side of the arc-shaped top-suction hood has an inlet 1 connected to the external exhaust system. A preset horizontal section inside the arc-shaped top-suction hood is defined as the mass-energy ratio interface 4. The steps include: S1.

Simulation scheme: Steady-state flow field simulation is performed on the physical geometric model of the arc-shaped top suction and gas collection hood. The number of outlet ducts 3, the layout of outlet ducts 3, and the size of outlet ducts 3 are used as single variables. Several sets of comparative working conditions are set in sequence to complete the simulation. S4. Plotting Results: Export the result data and plot a scatter plot of collection efficiency, eddy volume and interfacial mass-energy ratio; S5. Optimization scheme: Optimize the number, layout and size of outlet duct 3 based on the change curves of collection efficiency, eddy volume and interface mass-energy ratio to maximize collection efficiency.

To simplify calculations, the diffusion coefficients in the x, y, and z directions are assumed to be the same. For a two-component gas mixture, the component diffusion coefficients are estimated using the Maxwell-Gilliland empirical formula to estimate the pollutant diffusion coefficients in the air. It is the mass concentration of pollutants. The source term refers to the intensity of pollutant release at any point.

[0014] Preferably, the initial boundary conditions include inlet velocity, inlet mass flow rate, outlet pressure, temperature, and exhaust gas composition mass fraction, wherein the exhaust gas composition mass fraction is referenced to the exhaust gas composition escaping from the AO pool.

[0015] Preferably, S4 includes: S41. After the Fluent simulation converges, the velocity gradient tensor of each mesh in the physical model is extracted using Fluent's built-in post-processing function. Based on this, the symmetric part of the tensor, i.e., the strain rate tensor (S), and the antisymmetric part, i.e., the vorticity tensor (Ω), are calculated. Then, the field is calculated according to the definition of Q-Criterion:

[0016] Where ||Ω|| 2 Let ||S|| be the squared Frobenius norm of the vorticity tensor. 2 The Frobenius norm square of the strain rate tensor is used; finally, a threshold greater than zero is set to identify and visualize the vortex core region. The region with a positive Q value represents the rotation-dominated flow state, i.e., the vortex structure; the part with a Q value greater than 0 is the vortex-dominated region. The volume of the vortex-dominated region is calculated, and the correlation curve between the volume of the vortex-dominated region and the number of ducts is established. S42.

S43. Finally, using the interfacial mass-energy ratio as the abscissa and the collection efficiency and eddy volume as the ordinate, a scatter plot of the collection efficiency, eddy volume and interfacial mass-energy ratio for each set of comparative working conditions is drawn.

[0020] Preferably, the mass-energy ratio interface 4 is 0.5m above the surface of the water where pollutants volatilize.

[0021] The innovative aspects of this invention include: 1. The "interface mass-energy ratio" is proposed and defined as the core criterion, which is to quantitatively evaluate the balance between ineffective disturbance and effective capture in the flow field by calculating the ratio of turbulent kinetic energy to exhaust gas mass flux at the key section of the gas collection hood.

[0022] 2. Establish a quantitative relationship model between the interface mass-energy ratio R and the collection efficiency η, determine the optimal range of R, and take adjusting the actual R value to the optimal range as the direct goal, guide the optimization design of the gas collection hood structural parameters in reverse, and form a scientific design method with clear objectives and predictable results.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention include: 1. It overcomes the limitations of relying on subjective judgment in traditional experience-based design, making the performance of the flow field comparable and providing clear scientific basis and diagnostic tools for subsequent optimization.

[0024] 2. The optimization design of the gas collection hood has been transformed from a blind trial-and-error mode of "trying to adjust the structure and observe the effect" to a scientific design process with the explicit goal of actively adjusting the R value to a specific optimal range. The design goal becomes clear and quantifiable, and the optimization results are highly predictable in the design and simulation stages, significantly shortening the development cycle and reducing trial-and-error costs.

When the value is within this range, the system can synergistically maximize collection efficiency and minimize eddy current size.

[0044] The interfacial mass-energy ratio of the unoptimized benchmark gas collection hood mentioned in the first step was calculated to be 0.04708, which is higher than the optimal range for the interfacial mass-energy ratio. Based on the relational model... Figure 3 When the interface mass-energy ratio is higher than the optimal range, it indicates that there is excess relative kinetic energy and insufficient mass flux at the pollution source interface. The most effective measure to reduce the interface mass-energy ratio of the gas collection hood is to increase the number of ducts to improve the uniformity of airflow distribution, thereby reducing disturbance at the pollutant transport interface. The number of ducts was increased from 4 to 6, 7, and 9, while keeping the total airflow, duct diameter, and symmetrical layout unchanged, so that the optimized interface mass-energy ratio fell within the optimal range.

[0045] The optimized gas collection hood model was re-simulated using CFD, and compared with the original baseline model. Key performance comparisons are shown in Table 5. Table 5: Comparison of performance of the gas collection hood before and after optimization

[0046] This embodiment demonstrates that by applying the interface mass-energy ratio-based optimization method described in this invention, and specifically adjusting the number of ducts from 4 to 9, the system's interface mass-energy ratio is adjusted to the optimal range. This optimization significantly improves the internal flow field structure of the gas collection hood and achieves outstanding performance enhancement: after optimization, the vortex volume within the gas collection hood is reduced by 2.15 m³. 3 Meanwhile, the collection efficiency of the gas collection hood was improved by 21.5%. The results fully verify the effectiveness and engineering practical value of the method proposed in this invention in optimizing the flow field, improving collection efficiency, and suppressing eddies.
