Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam-water separation technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency steam-water separation device for chemical applications. Background Technology
[0002] A gas-liquid separator is a device used to separate gas and liquid mixtures. It is mainly used to separate gas and liquid to improve the efficiency of subsequent processing. In chemical production processes, gas and liquid mixtures often cause corrosion, scaling or blockage of equipment (such as pipelines, pumps, compressors, valves, etc.), especially when the gas contains a large amount of moisture. In order to effectively remove this moisture, reduce equipment corrosion and damage, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs, a high-efficiency gas-liquid separator for chemical applications is required.
[0003] High-efficiency vapor-water separation devices for chemical applications can be categorized into several types, including gravity separation vapor-water separators, centrifugal separation vapor-water separators, and condensing vapor-water separators. These high-efficiency devices can be tailored to different working environments and application requirements, ensuring efficient and stable vapor-water separation in industries such as chemical, petroleum, natural gas, and pharmaceuticals, thereby improving production efficiency and safety. Condensing vapor-water separators, in particular, cool the gas to condense water vapor into liquid water, which is then removed through a drainage system. Such devices typically include a cooler and a separator; the cooler cools the gas, and the condensed water vapor settles to the bottom of the separator.
[0004] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings in terms of steam-water separation efficiency. For example, traditional devices typically achieve steam-water separation through the condensation effect of a single reversing pipe, a method with limited efficiency. When the water vapor content is high, the separation effect decreases significantly, leading to an increase in residual water vapor and affecting the operation of downstream process equipment. Therefore, traditional steam-water separation devices cannot fully meet the demands of modern chemical production for high-efficiency separation. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a high-efficiency gas-water separation device for chemical industry, which aims to improve the problem of low separation efficiency caused by the traditional gas-water separation device that only directly condenses through a single reversing pipe.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A high-efficiency gas-water separator for chemical use includes a barrel body, with a top cover fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the barrel body. An air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are fixedly connected inside the top cover, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected inside the top cover. A separation component is installed inside the barrel body.
[0008] The separation assembly includes a separation barrel, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the barrel body. A reversing pipe is fixedly connected inside the separation barrel. Both the reversing pipe and the inside of the separation barrel have cavities. A spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reversing pipe. Multiple openings are formed inside the spiral blade.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The barrel body and the outer wall of the top cover are both fixedly connected to flanges, and the flanges have slots inside.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The flange is internally slidably connected with a connecting pin, and a limit ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pin, with the top of the limit ring fitting against the outer wall of the flange.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A ball is slidably connected inside the connecting pin, and the ball is arranged in a ring array inside the connecting pin.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The connecting pin is internally threaded with a threaded rod, and a cone is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod. The cone fits against the outer wall of the sphere.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] The sphere fits into the slot.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The barrel body and the top cover are connected by a connecting pin.
[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, the gas is first guided by the spiral blade to surround the reversing tube. At the same time, the spiral blade has multiple openings, which can increase the contact area with the gas, thereby increasing the contact area and improving the separation efficiency. This achieves the effect of improving the separation efficiency and solves the problem that the traditional gas-water separation only directly condenses through a single reversing tube, resulting in low separation efficiency. This improves the separation efficiency of the high-efficiency gas-water separation device for chemical use.
[0023] 2. In this utility model, the rotating threaded rod drives the cone to slide out from the connecting pin, and then the ball separates from the outer wall of the cone, and then the ball separates from the slot, so that the connecting pin can be pulled out from the flange. This achieves the effect of facilitating the disassembly of the top cover for maintenance, solves the problem of connecting the barrel to the top cover with a large number of bolts, and improves the convenience of the gas-water separation device.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of this utility model provides a high-efficiency gas-water separator for chemical use, comprising a barrel 1, with a top cover 2 fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the barrel 1. The top cover 2 is used for sealing and forming an internal space. An air inlet pipe 4 and an air outlet pipe 5 are fixedly connected inside the top cover 2. The air inlet pipe 4 is used to guide the gas containing water vapor into the barrel 1, and the air outlet pipe 5 is used to discharge the separated dry gas. A drain pipe 3 is fixedly connected inside the top cover 2. The drain pipe 3 is used to discharge the condensed water to ensure that no water accumulates inside the barrel 1. A separation component is provided inside the barrel 1.
[0031] The separation assembly includes a separation barrel 6, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the barrel body 1 to form an independent separation chamber 7, ensuring that the gas flows in a clear direction during the separation process. A reversing pipe 8 is fixedly connected inside the separation barrel 6. Both the reversing pipe 8 and the separation barrel 6 have chambers 7 inside. The chambers 7 are used to guide the gas flow and provide space for gas separation. A spiral blade 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reversing pipe 8. The spiral blade 9 is used to guide the gas to flow around the reversing pipe 8 and increase the turbulence effect of the airflow. At the same time, multiple openings 10 are opened inside the spiral blade 9. The openings 10 are used to increase the contact area between the gas and the separation device, improve the efficiency of gas separation, and ensure that water vapor can be effectively condensed and separated.
[0032] Specifically, after the water vapor-containing gas enters the barrel 1 through the inlet pipe 4, it is precisely guided by the spiral blade 9, forming a spiral flow path around the reversing pipe 8 within the barrel 1. Multiple openings 10 are evenly distributed on the surface of the spiral blade 9. These openings 10 significantly increase the contact area between the gas and the separation device, thereby effectively improving the contact efficiency between the gas and the device surface and further enhancing the overall effect of gas-water separation. As the moisture in the gas condenses into liquid water, the water droplets are quickly collected and efficiently discharged from the barrel 1 through the drain pipe 3. After thorough separation, the dry gas flows into the separation barrel 6 from the cavity 7 at the bottom of the reversing pipe 8 and is finally discharged through the outlet pipe 5, forming a highly efficient and continuous gas-water separation process. This greatly improves the separation efficiency and operational stability, ensuring that the quality of the discharged gas meets the drying requirements.
[0033] Reference Figure 3Flanges 11 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both the barrel body 1 and the top cover 2. Flanges 11 provide a stable connection interface, ensuring a tight seal between the barrel body 1 and the top cover 2. A groove 12 is provided inside the flange 11 to limit the position of the connecting pin 13, preventing it from shifting during installation. The connecting pin 13 is slidably connected inside the flange 11, enabling a detachable connection between the barrel body 1 and the top cover 2. A limit ring 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pin 13, with its top fitting against the outer wall of the flange 11. The limit ring 14 restricts the axial position of the connecting pin 13, preventing it from sliding out of the flange 11 due to external force. A ball 17 is slidably connected inside the connecting pin 13. The balls 17 are arranged in a ring array inside the connecting pin 13. The balls 17 are used to form a fitting structure with the slot 12 to provide connection stability. A threaded rod 15 is threaded inside the connecting pin 13. The threaded rod 15 is used to adjust the position of the balls 17 to realize the fixing and releasing of the connecting pin 13. A cone 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 15. The cone 16 fits against the outer wall of the balls 17. The cone 16 pushes the balls 17 to move radially through its conical surface. The balls 17 fit into the slot 12 to ensure the firmness of the connection. The barrel 1 and the top cover 2 are connected by the connecting pin 13, which achieves the effect of being stable and easy to disassemble.
[0034] Specifically, when maintenance is required on the equipment inside the tank 1, the connection between the tank 1 and the top cover 2 is achieved through a connecting pin 13. This design ensures structural stability and detachability. During operation, simply rotate the threaded rod 15. The rotation of the threaded rod 15 causes the cone 16 to gradually slide out from the connecting pin 13, releasing the connection pin 13 from the flange 11. As the cone 16 slides out, the ball 17 automatically separates from the outer wall of the cone 16, and simultaneously disengages from the slot 12. After these operations are completed, the connecting pin 13 can be completely pulled out from the flange 11, thus achieving the separation and disassembly of the tank 1 and the top cover 2. This structural design significantly simplifies the disassembly process of the top cover 2, allowing users to quickly and conveniently complete the maintenance of the equipment inside the tank 1, improving maintenance efficiency and ensuring stable equipment operation.
[0035] Working principle: When using this high-efficiency gas-water separator for chemical use, the gas containing water vapor first enters the tank 1 through the inlet pipe 4. Then, the gas is guided by the spiral blade 9 and surrounds the reversing pipe 8. At the same time, the spiral blade 9 has multiple openings 10, which can increase the contact area with the gas, thereby increasing the contact area and improving the separation efficiency. The condensed water is discharged from the tank 1 through the drain pipe 3. Then, the dried gas enters the separation tank 6 through the cavity 7 at the bottom of the reversing pipe 8 and is discharged from the outlet pipe 5, thus achieving the effect of improving the separation efficiency.
[0036] When maintenance is required on the equipment inside the barrel 1, the barrel 1 and the top cover 2 are connected by a connecting pin 13. Simply rotate the threaded rod 15 to drive the cone 16 out of the connecting pin 13, then the ball 17 separates from the outer wall of the cone 16, and then the ball 17 separates from the slot 12. The connecting pin 13 can then be pulled out from the flange 11, and the barrel 1 and the top cover 2 can be separated and disassembled, achieving the effect of facilitating the disassembly of the top cover 2 for internal maintenance.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
