Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas-liquid separation, in particular to a liquid-gas separator. Background Art

[0002] The separator is an important component in the operation of an oilfield gas gathering station. It is responsible for processing the incoming natural gas, separating the water and oil contained in the natural gas, and obtaining purer natural gas.

[0003] After searching, the patent with announcement number CN219194893U discloses a high-efficiency vertical separator for separating oil, water and gas three phases, which disperses the mixed air flow through the inlet baffle, and the liquid is separated from the gas by its own gravity. The separated liquid is lowered to the lower part of the partition through the downcomer of the oil-water separation component, and the oil and water in the liquid are separated by the distributor. The demisting component separates the gas and liquid on the outlet gas, and the separated liquid flows along the downcomer to the partition, and flows to the bottom of the partition through the downcomer. The separated gas is adsorbed and dried again by the molecular sieve filled in the outlet. By separating the oil and water in the air flow multiple times, the outlet gas is guaranteed to be pure and safe to use.

[0004] Although the above scheme can perform gas-liquid separation, during use, since the gas is separated from the liquid by collision with the inlet baffle, the noise is relatively large and the separation effect is poor. The defogger assembly is required to undertake most of the gas-liquid separation work. At the same time, some solid impurities carried in the gas are easy to adhere to the defogger assembly, and the defogger assembly is installed in the tank body, which is inconvenient to replace and needs to be improved.

[0020] The utility model adopts the above scheme. When in use, the gas enters the tank body 1 through the air guide pipe 11 and flows spirally downward along the flow channel formed by the spiral plate 12. The tiny droplets mixed in the gas hit the inner wall of the tank body 1 under the action of centrifugal force, so as to accumulate on the inner wall of the tank body 1 to form large droplets, and flow downward along the inner wall of the tank body 1 to gather at the bottom of the tank body 1. The separated gas enters the air guide pipe 11, is discharged from the air outlet pipe 15 after secondary gas-liquid separation at the mist collector 22, and the water and oil in the liquid collected at the bottom of the tank are separated into layers under the action of gravity due to their different densities.
