Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gas-water separation equipment, and specifically relates to a gas-water separator. Background Art

[0002] Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon. It is widely found in natural gas, biogas, and coal mine gas. It is a high-quality gas fuel and an important raw material for making synthesis gas and many chemical products. At the molecular level, methane is a more active greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but its quantity in the atmosphere is relatively small. Methane is mainly used as a fuel, such as natural gas and coal gas, and is widely used in civil and industrial applications. As a chemical raw material, it can be used to produce acetylene, hydrogen, synthetic ammonia, carbon black, nitromethane, carbon disulfide, methyl chloride, dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and hydrocyanic acid.

[0003] In the production process of methane, a large amount of steam will be carried, and it needs to be separated from gas and water to obtain high-purity and relatively dry methane gas as a chemical raw material. The existing gas-water separation device mainly adopts two separation methods: condensation and activated carbon adsorption. When activated carbon adsorption is adopted, the gas-water separation effect will be greatly reduced after the activated carbon reaches saturation, while gas-water separation by condensation is not subject to this limitation. By utilizing the different liquefaction temperatures of natural gas and water vapor, a condenser (condenser) is connected to the pipeline, one end of the condenser is connected to the air inlet pipe and the other end is connected to the air outlet pipe, and the water-containing methane enters the condenser. The natural gas is cooled by the condenser, and the water vapor condenses into water droplets and is discharged from the water outlet of the condenser, thereby achieving gas-water separation. However, due to the continuous flow of methane, the methane leading to the condenser will flow out quickly, resulting in a short stay time in the condenser and a poor condensation effect. Utility Model Content

[0013] Preferably, the upper end of the drain pipe is abutted against an inclined surface, the lowest point of the inclined surface abuts against the upper end of the drain pipe, and the upper end of the inclined surface is arranged below the partition.

[0014] Through the above solution, the setting of the inclined surface ensures that the water in the separation box is discharged, and further slows down the speed of entering the adsorption mechanism, thereby ensuring the adsorption treatment effect.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by setting the speed regulating mechanism, the flow rate of the gas-water mixture is reduced, and it will not pass through the condensation mechanism quickly to affect the condensation effect, thereby ensuring a high degree of gas-water separation; the setting of the condensation mechanism performs multi-stage condensation, improves the condensation effect, and further improves the gas-water separation degree; the setting of the adsorption mechanism further improves the gas-water separation degree.
