Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil separators, in particular to an oil separator capable of filtering even smaller oil droplets. Background Art

[0002] The size of liquid particles that can be carried by the steam flow is related to the speed of the steam flow. If the steam flow speed when the lift generated by the vertical upward movement of the steam flow is balanced with the weight of the particles is called the equilibrium speed, and is represented by the symbol ω. Obviously, when the steam flow speed is equal to the equilibrium speed, the particles remain motionless in the steam flow; if the steam flow speed is greater than the equilibrium speed, the particles will be taken away; and when the steam flow speed is less than the equilibrium speed, the particles will fall down, thereby separating the oil droplets from the refrigerant steam flow.

[0003] When the high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor enters the separator, due to the large flow cross-section, the gas flow rate suddenly decreases and changes direction. In addition, the filtering effect of several layers of metal wire mesh during air intake separates the lubricating oil mixed in the gas refrigerant and drips down to gather at the bottom of the container. When the amount of accumulated lubricating oil reaches a certain height, it returns to the compressor crankcase through the automatic oil return valve.

[0004] The key to precision purification in the oil separator lies in the filter installed inside it. The setting of the filter can directly affect the working efficiency of the oil separator. Utility Model Content

[0025] The utility model provides an oil separator capable of filtering even smaller oil droplets, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes an oil separator body 101 , a separation chamber 109 is arranged in the oil separator body 101 , an oil return pipe 104 is vertically arranged in the separation chamber 109 , and a needle valve 106 is arranged at the bottom of the oil return pipe 104 .

[0026] Furthermore, a floating ball 105 capable of rising and falling is provided in the separation chamber 109 .

[0027] Furthermore, a top cover 110 for sealing is installed on the top of the oil separator body 101 .

[0028] Furthermore, two guide tubes 107 are fixedly provided at the top of the top cover 110 , and an inlet and outlet 102 are welded at the top of the guide tubes 107 .

[0029] Furthermore, a filter screen 103 is installed at the lower part of the guide tube 107 .

[0030] Furthermore, a plurality of filter screens 103 are disposed in the guide tube 107 , and the plurality of filter screens 103 are connected via a supporting rod 108 .

[0031] Furthermore, the filter screen 103 is provided with a plurality of small holes that are connected to each other vertically.

[0032] It should be further explained that a plurality of filter screens 103 can be installed on the outer end of the support rod 108 , and the oil separation and filtration effect can be promoted through the small holes of different densities on the surface of the filter screen 103 .

[0033] It is worth noting that the filter 103 is a three-layer filter with 40 meshes, which is different from the traditional one-layer filter with 100 meshes, and can further enhance the oil separation effect of blocking the oil.

[0034] When using this solution, first connect the oil separator to the output pipeline of the lubricating oil, and the high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor enters the separator. At this time, due to the different densities of the lubricating oil and the refrigerant vapor, and the sudden expansion of the channel cross-section during input, the air flow velocity drops sharply. Since the diameter of the oil separator is 3 to 15 times larger than the diameter of the high-pressure exhaust pipe, the flow velocity of the vapor after entering the oil separator drops from the original 10 to 25 m / s to 0.8 to 1 m / s, and the flow direction is changed at the same time, so that the lubricating oil with a higher density is separated and deposited at the bottom of the oil separator. In this process, when the flow velocity of the internal gas suddenly decreases and changes direction, when the gas enters through the guide pipe 107, the multi-layer filter screen 103 in the guide pipe 107 is set to filter, that is, the lubricating oil mixed in the gas refrigerant is separated, and drips downward and gathers at the bottom of the separation chamber 109. When the amount of gathered lubricating oil reaches a certain height, the lubricating oil is returned to the compressor crankcase through the needle valve 106.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
