[0004] In water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, the most commonly used separation structure is wire mesh separation.

[0005] However, the traditional wire mesh separation method has limited separation effect and efficiency due to the small area of ​​the wire mesh. Utility Model Content

[0019] 1. By adopting a vertical tank, the wire mesh precipitator is directly installed inside the tank, so that the diameter of the wire mesh precipitator can be the same as the diameter of the tank, thereby improving the effect and efficiency of gas-liquid separation. At the same time, the overall structure is relatively simple, the cost is low, and the assembly efficiency is also high.

[0020] 2. By positioning the discharge port towards the liquid outlet pipe, the path for gas to reach the gas outlet pipe is increased, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of gas-liquid separation.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] This utility model discloses a vertical hydrogen-water separator.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A vertical hydrogen-water separator includes a tank body 1 arranged vertically. An inlet pipe 11, a gas outlet pipe 12, and a liquid outlet pipe 13 are fixedly connected to the tank body 1. The inlet pipe 11 is located on the side wall of the tank body 1 for feeding materials; the gas outlet pipe 12 is located at the top of the tank body 1 for discharging gas; and the liquid outlet pipe 13 is located at the bottom of the tank body 1 for discharging liquid. A wire mesh mist eliminator 14 is fixedly installed inside the tank body 1, located between the inlet pipe 11 and the gas outlet pipe 12.

[0031] During operation, the wire mesh mist eliminator 14 is directly installed inside the vertical tank 1, so that the diameter of the wire mesh mist eliminator 14 can be the same as the diameter of the tank 1, thereby improving the effect and efficiency of gas-liquid separation. At the same time, the overall structure is relatively simple, the cost is low, and the assembly efficiency is also high.

[0032] Specifically, the output end of the feed pipe 11 extends into the tank body 1. The portion of the feed pipe 11 extending into the tank body 1 has an outlet 111 on the side facing the liquid outlet pipe 13. The top surface of the outlet 111 is flush with the axis of the feed pipe 11 to improve discharge efficiency. The outlet 111 is positioned facing the liquid outlet pipe 13 to increase the path for gas to reach the gas outlet pipe 12, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of gas-liquid separation.

[0033] The tank body 1 is provided with a flow-blocking and diverting component 15, which is located between the feed pipe 11 and the liquid outlet pipe 13. Multiple flow-blocking and diverting components 15 are provided along the circumference of the tank body 1.

[0034] More specifically, the flow-diverting component 15 includes a main board 151 and side plates 152. Multiple side plates 152 are arranged circumferentially along the main board 151. One end of each side plate 152 is fixedly connected to the main board 151, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 1. A flow-diverting groove 153 is formed between adjacent side plates 152. Several flow-diverting holes 154 are opened on the main board 151. The side plates 152 of the multiple flow-diverting components 15 are staggered circumferentially along the main board 151. The arrangement of multiple flow-diverting components 15 facilitates the interception and diversion of the gas-liquid mixture output from the feed pipe 11, increasing the reaction time and improving the gas-liquid two-phase separation effect. Through the flow-diverting holes 154 and multiple sets of side plates 152 staggered circumferentially along the main board 151, the gas-liquid mixture can be further intercepted and diverted, further improving the gas-liquid separation efficiency and effect.

[0035] A vortex breaker 16 is installed on the liquid outlet pipe 13 to facilitate the breaking of liquid vortices or swirls, reduce pipe resistance, and improve transmission efficiency.

[0036] Working Principle: A vertical tank 1 is used, and the wire mesh precipitator 14 is directly installed inside the tank 1, allowing the diameter of the wire mesh precipitator 14 to be the same as the diameter of the tank 1. This improves the gas-liquid separation effect and efficiency. The overall structure is relatively simple, with low cost and high assembly efficiency. The outlet 111 is positioned towards the liquid outlet pipe 13, increasing the path for gas to reach the gas outlet pipe 12, thus improving the gas-liquid separation efficiency and effect. Multiple blocking and diverting components 15 facilitate the blocking and diversion of the gas-liquid mixture output from the feed pipe 11, increasing reaction time and improving the gas-liquid two-phase separation effect. The diversion holes 154 and multiple sets of side plates 152 staggered circumferentially along the main plate 151 further block and divert the gas-liquid mixture, further improving the gas-liquid separation efficiency and effect.

[0037] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
