Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] When gas mixed with water passes through the gas-water separator, the baffle inside the separator body forces the gas out of the separator body's outlet pipe, while the water passes through the baffle and is stored in a water storage tank, achieving gas-water separation. Currently, in existing gas-water separators, the baffles are flat. When gas mixed with water enters the separator, the gas flows at a high velocity and is quickly discharged through the separator's outlet pipe. The water separated by the baffle is essentially liquid water, and when the gas leaves the separator, it carries some water with it, resulting in low gas-water separation efficiency and a high water content in the gas at the separator outlet. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a gas-water separator to solve the problem in the prior art that the gas-water separation efficiency is low and the water content of the gas at the outlet of the gas-water separator is still high.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] The utility model provides a gas-water separator, comprising:

[0006] A separator body, wherein the separator body has an accommodating cavity therein and is provided with an air inlet communicating with the accommodating cavity;

[0007] an air outlet pipe, disposed in the accommodating cavity and having one end extending out of the accommodating cavity; and

[0008] The stopper is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the stopper has a separation part. The separation part is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of one end of the air outlet pipe located in the accommodating cavity. The side wall of the separation part is inclined and a plurality of through holes are opened on the side wall of the separation part.

[0009] In some embodiments, the separation portion includes a conical cylinder and a flange. The conical cylinder is coaxially sleeved on the air outlet pipe. The conical cylinder forms the separation portion. The flange is connected to the outer wall of the conical cylinder. A water hole is provided on the flange.

[0010] In some embodiments, the conical cylinder has a large diameter end and a small diameter end, the small diameter end is sleeved on the air outlet pipe, the large diameter end is arranged below the small diameter end, and the flange is connected to the large diameter end.

[0011] In some embodiments, one end of the air outlet pipe extending into the accommodating cavity is located inside the conical cylinder.

[0012] In some embodiments, the gas-water separator further includes a water storage barrel, which is connected to the bottom of the separator body and communicates with the accommodating cavity.

[0013] In some embodiments, a rim is provided on the upper portion of the water storage barrel, the rim is connected to the separator body, and the inner side of the rim is configured to be stepped to form a support surface for supporting the stopper; the stopper is placed on the support surface.

[0014] In some embodiments, a pressing surface is provided at the bottom of the separator body, the pressing surface is arranged opposite to the supporting surface, and the pressing surface presses against a side of the stopper facing away from the supporting surface.

[0015] In some embodiments, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the water storage barrel, and a control valve is installed at the drain outlet.

[0016] In some embodiments, the air inlet is provided at the upper portion of the separator body, and a central axis of the air inlet is provided tangent to a side wall of the separator body.

[0017] In some embodiments, the air outlet pipe includes a first tube body and a second tube body that are perpendicular to each other, the first tube body is vertically inserted into the accommodating cavity of the separator body, and the top end of the first tube body extends out of the accommodating cavity, and the second tube body is horizontally arranged and connected to the top end of the first tube body.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the gas-water separator of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] In an embodiment of the present invention, a gas-water separator is provided within a housing chamber of the separator body. The stopper comprises a separation portion, which is sleeved around the outer periphery of the gas outlet pipe. The sidewalls of the separation portion are inclined, and a plurality of through-holes are formed in the sidewalls of the separation portion. After gas mixed with water enters the housing chamber of the gas-water separator, it descends within the housing chamber. During this descent, liquid water rapidly passes through the stopper and enters the housing chamber below the stopper for storage. During this descent, the gas contacts the stopper and strikes the separation portion of the stopper, where it is stopped by the sidewalls of the separation portion. However, the inclined sidewalls of the separation portion disrupt the flow of the gas, slowing its flow rate and causing the gas to remain within the separator body for a longer time. Furthermore, due to the temperature difference between the gas and the sidewalls of the separation portion, some water vapor in the gas condenses on the sidewalls of the separation portion. The condensed water then falls through the through-holes in the sidewalls to the bottom, and the gas is then discharged through the gas outlet pipe. Therefore, the present application can not only effectively separate liquid water, but also effectively separate gaseous water mixed in the gas, thereby improving the gas-water separation efficiency and reducing the water content of the gas at the outlet of the gas-water separator.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] See Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an air-water separator, including a separator main body 1, an air outlet pipe 2 and a stopper 3. The separator main body 1 has an accommodating chamber 11 inside, and the separator main body 1 is provided with an air inlet 12 connected to the accommodating chamber 11. The gas mixed with water enters the accommodating chamber 11 of the separator main body 1 through the air inlet 12; the air outlet pipe 2 is provided in the accommodating chamber 11 and one end extends out of the accommodating chamber 11, and the end of the air outlet pipe 2 extending out of the accommodating chamber 11 forms an air outlet 221, and the gas after air-water separation treatment by the separator main body 1 is discharged through the air outlet 221; the stopper 3 is provided in the accommodating chamber 11, and the stopper 3 has a separation part 31, which is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of one end of the air outlet pipe 2 located in the accommodating chamber 11, and the side wall of the separation part 31 is inclined, and a plurality of through holes 311 are opened on the side wall of the separation part 31.

[0032] After the gas mixed with water enters the chamber 11 of the gas-water separator through the air inlet 12, it descends within the chamber 11. During this descent, the liquid water quickly passes through the stopper 3 and enters the chamber 11 below the stopper 3 for storage. During this descent, the gas contacts the stopper 3 and strikes the separation portion 31 of the stopper 3, where it is stopped by the sidewalls of the separation portion 31. Since the sidewalls of the separation portion 31 are inclined, the inclined sidewalls disrupt the flow of the gas, slowing the flow rate and causing the gas to remain in the separator body 1 for a longer time. Furthermore, due to the temperature difference between the gas and the sidewalls of the separation portion 31, a portion of the water vapor in the gas condenses on the sidewalls of the separation portion 31. The condensed water falls downward through the through-holes 311 on the sidewalls, and the gas is then discharged through the gas outlet pipe 2. Therefore, the present invention can not only effectively separate liquid water, but also effectively separate gaseous water mixed in the gas, thereby improving the gas-water separation efficiency and reducing the water content of the gas at the outlet of the gas-water separator.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer contour of the separator body 1 is cylindrical. An air inlet 12 is provided at the upper portion of the separator body 1, with the central axis of the air inlet 12 tangentially disposed to the sidewall of the separator body 1. The tangential arrangement of the air inlet 12 and the separator body 1 allows the gas to enter the separator body 1 through the air inlet 12 and descend in a rotary manner, facilitating the centrifugal flow of liquid water down the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 11.

[0034] See Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the gas outlet pipe 2 includes a first tube body 21 and a second tube body 22 that are perpendicular to each other. The first tube body 21 is vertically inserted into the accommodating cavity 11 of the separator body 1, and the top of the first tube body 21 extends out of the accommodating cavity 11. The second tube body 22 is horizontally arranged and connected to the top of the first tube body 21. The first tube body 21 is longer, which will extend the residence time of the gas in the separator body 1, which is conducive to the condensation of gaseous water mixed in the gas and its downward flow along the first tube body 21, further improving the gas-water separation efficiency. The first tube body 21 is coaxially arranged with the separator body 1. The second tube body 22 is horizontally arranged, and the connection between the second tube body 22 and the first tube body 21 is bent. The second tube body 22 acts as a buffer for the overflowing gas, slowing down the overflow speed of the gas, further increasing the residence time of the gas in the separator body 1, and making the water-gas separation more thorough.

[0035] See Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the separation portion 31 includes a conical cylinder 32 and a flange 33. The conical cylinder 32 is coaxially sleeved on the air outlet pipe 2. The conical cylinder 32 forms the separation portion 31. The flange 33 is connected to the outer wall of the conical cylinder 32. A water hole 331 is provided on the flange 33. The cylinder wall of the conical cylinder 32 is arranged at an angle. When the gas collides with the cylinder wall, the cylinder wall disrupts the flow direction of the gas, slows down the flow rate of the gas, prolongs the residence time of the gas in the separator body 1, and improves the gas-water separation effect. The liquid water in the gas entering the separator body 1 through the air inlet 12 can flow downward along the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 11 through the water hole 331 on the flange 33. The flange 33 and the conical cylinder 32 can be welded and fixed or formed as one piece. The outer edge of the flange 33 can be fixed to the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 11, and the two can be welded and fixed or detachably connected. The separation portion 31 is set to the structure of a conical cylinder 32 and is coaxially arranged with the outlet pipe 2, so that the side wall of the separation portion 31 is evenly arranged along the circumference of the outlet pipe 2, thereby making the side wall of the separation portion 31 have a balanced blocking effect on the gas. The gas on the periphery of the outlet pipe 2 is simultaneously slowed down after the blocking effect of the side wall, thereby effectively separating the gaseous water.

[0036] See Figure 5 As shown, a through hole 311 is provided in the wall of the conical cylinder 32. The through hole 311 can penetrate the wall of the conical cylinder 32 along its thickness. Multiple through holes 311 are provided, evenly distributed along the wall of the conical cylinder 32. Multiple water holes 331 can be provided, evenly spaced along the circumference of the flange 33. The water holes 331 are arc-shaped, with their length extending along the circumference of the flange 33.

[0037] See Figure 1As shown, the conical tube 32 has a large-diameter end 321 and a small-diameter end 322. The small-diameter end 322 is sleeved onto the outlet pipe 2, and the large-diameter end 321 is located below the small-diameter end 322. The flange 33 is connected to the large-diameter end 321, facilitating the installation of the conical tube 32. Furthermore, during the downward flow of gas, the wall of the conical tube 32 can also guide condensed water, reducing the impact of the water flow on the wall and preventing water accumulation on the stopper 3. The end of the outlet pipe 2 extending into the accommodating chamber 11 is located within the conical tube 32, preventing the outlet pipe 2 from being too long and increasing the difficulty of gas entering the outlet pipe 2.

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the gas-water separator further includes a water storage barrel 4, which is connected to the bottom of the separator body 1 and communicates with the accommodating chamber 11. The separated water is collected and stored by the water storage barrel 4. It should be noted that when the water storage barrel 4 is provided, the bottom of the separator body 1 can be opened to increase the water flow cross-section and facilitate the separated water to enter the water storage barrel 4. When the water storage barrel 4 is not provided, the bottom of the separator body 1 can be closed, and the space of the accommodating chamber 11 below the stopper 3 is used to collect and store the separated water. In order to facilitate the diversion of the water flow, the lower part of the water storage barrel 4 is conical.

[0039] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the water storage bucket 4 has a rim 41 on its upper portion, which is connected to the separator body 1. The inner side of the rim 41 is stepped to form a support surface 411 for supporting the stopper 3. The stopper 3 is placed on the support surface 411. Specifically, the flange 33 of the stopper 3 is placed on the support surface 411. The support surface 411 is an annular surface that matches the flange 33. The support surface 411 formed on the inner side of the rim 41 supports the stopper 3, preventing it from falling out of the separator body 1. The rim 41 and the separator body 1 can be welded or detachably connected. To facilitate installation and removal of the water storage bucket 4, the rim 41 and the separator body 1 are detachably connected. Specifically, the bottom of the separator body 1 is provided with an outer rim plate, and the rim 41 and the outer rim plate are detachably connected using fasteners such as bolts and screws.

[0040] See Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, a pressing surface 13 is provided at the bottom of the separator body 1. The pressing surface 13 is arranged opposite to the support surface 411 and presses against the side of the stopper 3 facing away from the support surface 411. The pressing surface 13 cooperates with the support surface 411 to stably clamp both sides of the stopper 3. In this case, the small-diameter end 322 of the tapered tube 32 of the stopper 3 and the air outlet pipe 2 do not need to be fixed, which can also ensure the installation stability of the stopper 3 in the separator body 1. By removing the water storage barrel 4, the stopper 3 can be separated from the air outlet pipe 2 and the separator body 1, which facilitates the removal and installation of the stopper 3.

[0041] In some embodiments, the bottom of the water storage tank 4 is provided with a drain outlet, at which a control valve 42 is installed. When the accumulated water in the water storage tank 4 reaches a set amount, the control valve 42 opens the drain outlet, allowing the water in the water storage tank 4 to be discharged through the drain outlet, facilitating cleaning of the water storage tank 4. The control valve 42 is opened periodically to prevent gas from escaping through the drain outlet of the water storage tank 4. The control valve 42 is a solenoid valve.

[0042] The working process of this utility model is:

[0043] Gas containing moisture enters the air-water separator's chamber 11 through the air inlet 12 of the separator body 1. Because the air inlet 12 is tangential to the separator body 1, the water and gas spiral downward within the chamber 11. Under the centrifugal force of the rotation, the water rapidly flows along the inner wall of the chamber 11, passing through the stopper 3 and reaching the water storage tank 4. After spiraling downward within the separator body 1, the gas strikes the wall of the conical cylinder 32. Due to the inclined wall of the conical cylinder 32, the gas flow is disrupted and slowed. Due to the temperature difference and the action of the conical cylinder 32, some of the moisture in the gas condenses on the wall of the conical cylinder 32 and then falls through the through-hole 311 into the water storage tank 4. After passing through the stopper 3 and the long air outlet pipe 2, some of the moisture in the gas is separated. Finally, the gas exits the air outlet 221 of the separator body 1. When the water in the water storage tank 4 reaches a certain level, the solenoid valve opens, and the water flows out through the drain.

[0044] In summary, the present invention provides an air-water separator. A stopper 3 is disposed within the accommodating chamber 11 of the separator body 1. The stopper 3 includes a separating portion 31 that is sleeved around the outer periphery of the air outlet pipe 2. The sidewalls of the separating portion 31 are inclined and have multiple through-holes 311 formed therein. After gas mixed with water enters the accommodating chamber 11 of the air-water separator, it descends within the chamber 11. During this descent, liquid water rapidly passes through the stopper 3 and enters the accommodating chamber 11 below the stopper 3 for storage. During the descent process, the gas contacts the stopper 3 and hits the separation portion 31 of the stopper 3, where it is stopped by the sidewalls of the separation portion 31. Since the sidewalls of the separation portion 31 are inclined, the inclined sidewalls disrupt the flow direction of the gas, slowing down the flow rate and causing the gas to stay longer in the separator body 1. Furthermore, due to the temperature difference between the gas and the sidewalls of the separation portion 31, a portion of the water vapor in the gas condenses on the sidewalls of the separation portion 31. The condensed water falls to the bottom through the through-holes 311 on the sidewalls, and the gas is then discharged through the gas outlet pipe 2. Therefore, the present application can not only effectively separate liquid water, but also effectively separate gaseous water mixed in the gas, thereby improving the gas-water separation efficiency and reducing the water content of the gas at the outlet of the gas-water separator.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
