[0002] During the operation of a centrifugal compressor, an oil pump is usually used to supply oil to force lubrication of the motor bearings, large and small gears and bearings in the compressor. The lubricating oil will return to the oil tank through a pipe after lubrication. The oil smoke generated by high temperature will enter the oil mist separator through the pipe above the oil tank, and then be discharged into the atmosphere through the smoke exhaust fan.

[0003] The existing oil mist separator is filled with stainless steel balls. The oil mist cannot be effectively separated after passing through the stainless steel balls, resulting in large amounts of smoke at the exhaust fan outlet, polluting the environment. In addition, since the existing oil mist separator has a poor separation effect and no reflux device is provided, the compressor consumes a high amount of fuel when running. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0006] An oil tank oil mist collector for a centrifugal compressor comprises an oil tank body and an oil mist separator, wherein the oil tank body is provided with an oil mist pipeline, one end of the oil mist pipeline is connected to the oil tank body, and the other end of the oil mist pipeline is connected to the oil mist separator;

[0007] The oil mist separator comprises a shell, a filter element and a smoke exhaust pipe, the shell is provided with a filter element inside, an oil return pipe is provided between the shell and the oil tank body, the upper end of the oil return pipe is located at the outer bottom of the filter element, and the lower end of the oil return pipe extends below the oil level inside the oil tank, the oil return pipe is a tubular structure made of a transparent steel wire tube, the upper end of the shell is connected to the smoke exhaust pipe, and the smoke exhaust pipe is provided with a smoke exhaust fan;

[0008] The smoke exhaust pipe is connected to a branch pipe, a valve 1 is arranged on the branch pipe, a non-woven cotton is added to the suction port of the valve 1, and the branch pipe is located between the shell and the smoke exhaust fan.

[0009] Furthermore, a waste oil barrel is arranged at the rear side of the smoke exhaust fan, and the waste oil barrel is connected to the smoke exhaust pipe through a waste oil pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, a vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 1 is provided on the oil tank body for real-time detection of the vacuum degree inside the oil tank body to ensure smooth oil return of the compressor.

[0011] Furthermore, a vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 2 is provided on the smoke exhaust pipe, and the vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 2 is located on one side of the branch pipe. The vacuum degree inside the shell is detected by the vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 2, and the vacuum degree inside the shell is adjusted by valve 1, thereby changing the vacuum degree of the oil tank body.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an oil tank oil mist collector for a centrifugal compressor comprises an oil tank body 1 and an oil mist separator, wherein the oil tank body 1 is provided with an oil mist pipe 2, one end of the oil mist pipe 2 is connected to the oil tank body 1, and the other end of the oil mist pipe 2 is connected to the oil mist separator;

[0027] The oil mist separator comprises a shell 3, a filter element 4 and a smoke exhaust pipe 5. The filter element 4 is arranged inside the shell 3. An oil return pipe 6 is arranged between the shell 3 and the oil tank body 1. The upper end of the oil return pipe 6 is located at the outer bottom of the filter element 4, and the lower end of the oil return pipe 6 extends below the oil level inside the oil tank. The oil return pipe 6 is a tubular structure made of a transparent steel wire tube. The lubricating oil separated by the filter element 4 can be returned to the inside of the oil tank body 1 through the oil return pipe 6. The upper end of the shell 3 is connected to the smoke exhaust pipe 5, and a smoke exhaust fan 7 is arranged on the smoke exhaust pipe 5.

[0028] The smoke exhaust pipe 5 is connected to a branch pipe, and a valve 8 is provided on the branch pipe. The suction port of the valve 8 is added with non-woven cotton to filter the inhaled air. The branch pipe is located between the shell 3 and the smoke exhaust fan 7.

[0029] In addition, a waste oil barrel 9 is arranged at the rear side of the smoke exhaust fan 7, and the waste oil barrel 9 is connected to the smoke exhaust pipe 5 through a waste oil pipe. The lubricating oil at the bottom of the smoke exhaust pipe 5 is recovered through the waste oil barrel 9, thereby reducing resource waste.

[0030] Specifically, a vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 10 is provided on the oil tank body 1 for real-time detection of the vacuum degree inside the oil tank body 1 to ensure smooth oil return of the compressor unit.

[0031] In this embodiment, a vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 2 11 is provided on the smoke exhaust pipe 5, and the vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 2 11 is located on one side of the valve 1 8. The vacuum degree inside the shell 3 is detected by the vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 2 11, and the vacuum degree inside the shell 3 and the tank body 1 is adjusted by the valve 1 8. The difference between the vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 10 and the vacuum membrane box pressure gauge 2 11 can reflect the resistance of the filter element 4, thereby reminding the filter element 4 to be replaced.

[0032] In this embodiment, the filter element 4 is a tubular structure, a filling layer is arranged inside the filter element 4, the filling layer is 95% efficient glass fiber, one end of the oil mist pipe 2 is located inside the filter element 4, and the filter element 4 is a tubular structure made of glass fiber. After the lubricating oil passes through the centrifugal compressor bearing and other parts, there is a large amount of oil vapor inside the oil smoke generated due to the increase in temperature. When the oil vapor flows through the filter element 4 made of fiber, it adheres to the surface of the filter element 4. After condensation, the lubricating oil will gather to the bottom of the filter element 4 under the action of gravity.

[0033] In this embodiment, two smoke exhaust fans 7 are arranged in parallel, one for use and one for backup. Both front and rear sides of the two smoke exhaust fans 7 are provided with valves 12 for switching out the faulty smoke exhaust fan for maintenance without affecting the vacuum degree of the oil tank body.

[0034] In this embodiment, a cover plate is provided above the shell 3 to facilitate replacement of the filter element 4 inside the shell 3 .

[0035] It is worth mentioning that the oil mist pipe 2 described in the present application is a DN100 pipe, the return oil pipe 6 is a DN20 pipe, the lower end of the return oil pipe 6 is 20 cm away from the bottom of the oil tank body 1, the smoke exhaust fan 7 is a 1RB410H55 type 5.5kW three-phase vortex air pump with a flow rate of 530m3 / h, a maximum vacuum of -30KPa, 2850r / min, and the valve 8 is a DN50 gate valve.

[0036] Please refer to the actual application Figure 1-2 By setting a valve 8, the vacuum degree inside the oil tank is controlled at about -2KPa, and the oil smoke in the oil tank body 1 will be sucked into the filter element 4. After the oil smoke is filtered by the filter element 4, the oil droplets gather at the bottom of the filter element 4 and flow back to the inside of the oil tank body 1 through the oil return pipe 6, and the smoke is discharged through the exhaust pipe 5;

[0037] The resistance of the filter element 4 can be reflected by observing the difference between the vacuum diaphragm pressure gauge 10 and the vacuum diaphragm pressure gauge. When the resistance is large, the oil level in the oil return pipe 6 can be observed to rise continuously and almost reach the bottom of the oil mist collector. At this time, the filter element 4 needs to be replaced.

[0038] After actual application, the smoke exhausted by the smoke exhaust duct 5 is significantly cleaner, reducing air pollution, and compared with the prior art, the oil level in the oil tank body 1 drops by about 70 mm per month, and one barrel of oil needs to be added per month. The oil tank oil mist device in the present application reduces the oil level in the oil tank body 1 by about 5 mm per month, and one barrel of oil is added per year, and the oil consumption is significantly reduced.

[0039] The embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made based on the structures, features and principles described in the patent scope of the present invention should be included in the patent application scope of the present invention.
