[0030] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0031] The present application embodiment discloses a gas-water separation device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The gas-water separation device includes a mounting shell 1, a condensation element (not shown in the figure) and a plurality of baffles 2. The mounting shell 1 includes a shell and a cover. The shell and the cover are sealed by screwing or the like. The condensation element can be any device that can condense a gas-water mixture. The condensation element is arranged in the mounting shell 1. In some embodiments, the back plate of the mounting shell 1 is a heat conducting plate 3, that is, the side of the shell away from the cover is the heat conducting plate 3. The heat conducting plate 3 is made of a heat-conducting material such as stainless steel. The condensation element is arranged in the heat conducting plate 3, and the gas-water mixture is condensed and separated by the condensation element. The baffles are arranged along the length direction of the heat conducting plate 3, so that the steam can be continuously condensed during the gas-water separation process, thereby achieving a better gas-water separation effect.
[0032] ReferenceFigure 2 The baffles 2 are staggered and integrally installed on the upper inner wall surface and the lower inner wall surface of the mounting shell 1, and a guide groove 4 is formed between the baffles 2 and the side wall of the mounting shell 1. The guide grooves 4 are serpentine-shaped. The number of baffles 2 is more than two, and different numbers of baffles 2 can be set according to the amount of gas-water separation. In some embodiments, the guide grooves 4 are serpentinely distributed in an up-and-down direction, that is, the gas-water mixture passes through the lower guide groove 4, then passes between the two baffles and then passes through the upper guide groove 4, and flows along the length direction of the heat conducting plate 3, which can extend the flow path of the gas-water mixture and improve the gas-water separation efficiency.
[0033] An air inlet 5 is provided on one side of the mounting shell 1, an air outlet 6 is provided on the side away from the air inlet 5, and a water outlet 7 is provided on the lower side away from the air inlet 5. The gas-water mixture enters from the air inlet 5 and passes through the condensation element to condense the steam to form condensed water, which flows out from the water outlet 7, and is discharged from the air outlet 6 after the hydrogen is separated. In some embodiments, the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 are provided on the two opposite side walls of the mounting shell 1, that is, the air inlet 5 is provided on the left side wall of the mounting shell 1, and the air outlet 6 is provided on the right side wall of the mounting shell 1, and both are located away from the heat conducting plate 3, so that the flow path of the gas-water mixture can be increased, the gas and water can be better separated, and thus the gas-water separation efficiency can be improved. In other embodiments, the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 can also be provided on the upper side wall of the mounting shell 1.
[0034] In some embodiments, the water outlet 7 is opened at a position far away from the heat conducting plate 3. The condensed water flows out from the side far away from the condensation element, which can reduce the influence of the condensed water on the condensation element after condensation, so as to better separate the gas and water.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The baffle plate 2 is provided with a water guide groove 8, which is used to guide the outflow of condensed water. In some embodiments, the water guide groove 8 is provided on the side of the baffle plate 2 away from the heat conducting plate 3. The heat loss caused by the direct contact between the condensed water and the heat conducting plate 3 can be reduced; the accumulation and re-evaporation of the condensed water in the device can be reduced, thereby improving the gas-water separation efficiency.
[0036] In some embodiments, the water diversion groove 8 is provided on the baffle plate 2 connected to the lower inner wall of the mounting shell 1, and is close to the lower inner wall of the mounting shell 1. Since the water diversion groove 8 is close to the lower inner wall of the mounting shell 1, the condensed water flows into the water groove more easily under the action of gravity, which reduces the retention time of the condensed water in the device, thereby improving the separation efficiency.
[0037] Refer again Figure 2, the inner wall of the installation shell 1 also has a guiding surface 9. The guiding surface 9 has an inclination degree such that the water flow can flow along the water guiding groove 8 towards the water outlet 7, enabling the condensed water to be better discharged through the inclined guiding surface 9. In some embodiments, the inclination degree of the guiding surface 9 is 1-5°, which can ensure that the condensed water flows smoothly along the guiding surface 9, reducing the phenomena of accelerated flow and sputtering caused by too large a slope, so that the condensed water can be better discharged and the gas-water separation can be carried out more effectively; and only by introducing the gas mixture from the air inlet 5 can the gas-water separation be achieved, with simple operation and low maintenance cost.
[0038] The implementation principle of the gas-water separation device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: The gas-water mixture enters along the air inlet 5, the vapor is condensed by the condensing member to form condensed water and separated from hydrogen. The water flows along the guiding surface 9 through the water guiding groove 8 towards the water outlet 7, and the hydrogen flows along the serpentine diversion groove 4, extending the flow path of the gas-water mixture, increasing the contact time and area between the vapor in the gas-water mixture and the condensing member. During the process, the vapor is continuously condensed and discharged through the condensing member, improving the condensation efficiency. Finally, the hydrogen is discharged through the air outlet 6. Therefore, a gas-water separation device with a simple structure and low cost can be obtained.
[0039] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
