Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air supply technology, and in particular to a variable temperature controlled steam-water separator. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of high-purity compressed air supply, there are extremely strict requirements regarding the moisture content of compressed air. Even trace amounts of moisture can significantly impact system stability and product quality. However, in practical applications, especially under high-temperature conditions in summer, traditional vertical wire mesh air-water separators face severe challenges.

[0003] When the inlet gas temperature is relatively high, the water removal capacity of the steam-water separator will decrease accordingly. This is because high temperatures make water vapor in the air more active, increasing the likelihood of it penetrating the separator. This performance degradation not only increases the load on the downstream dryer but also makes its switching frequency more frequent. This not only increases the system's energy consumption and operating costs but may also trigger a series of operational stresses and risks.

[0004] Specifically, due to the poor water removal efficiency of the steam-water separator, the downstream dryer needs to process more moisture, which undoubtedly increases its workload. Frequent switching operations may lead to accelerated equipment wear and even malfunctions, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the entire compressed air supply system.

[0006] The separator housing has a gas inlet on its side, a gas outlet on its top, and a drain outlet on its bottom.

[0007] A heat exchange channel is installed inside the separator shell, and the outer wall of the heat exchange channel is covered with a wire mesh and exchanges heat with the wire mesh.

[0008] Preferably, the separator housing includes an upper shell and a lower shell, the heat exchange channel is disposed between the upper shell and the lower shell, and the upper shell, the lower shell and the heat exchange channel are fastened together by bolts.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing groove is provided at the connection between the heat exchange channel and the separator shell, and the sealing groove is filled with sealing material.

[0010] Preferably, the heat exchange channel is provided with a medium outlet and a medium inlet, and an external medium circulation device is connected through the medium outlet and the medium inlet.

[0011] Preferably, the separator housing is further provided with a guide plate inside, the opening edge of the guide plate abutting against the inner wall of the separator housing, and the bottom of the guide plate is connected to the drain outlet.

[0012] Preferably, the drain outlet is equipped with a drain valve.

[0014] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: a heat exchange channel is provided in the separator shell, and the outer wall of the heat exchange channel is covered with a wire mesh, exchanging heat with the wire mesh, and the gas passes through the wire mesh. This design allows the medium (such as cooling water or other coolant) in the heat exchange channel to reduce the temperature of the wire mesh through heat exchange, thereby condensing and removing water. Furthermore, the temperature of the medium in the heat exchange channel can be adjusted in summer and winter, thus adjusting the water removal rate. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a variable temperature controlled steam-water separator, which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment; other embodiments that conform to the spirit of the present invention may also fall within its scope.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, based on the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, a variable temperature controlled steam-water separator is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0018] The separator housing 1 has a gas inlet 11 on its side, a gas outlet 12 on its top, and a drain outlet 13 at its bottom.

[0019] The heat exchange channel 2 is installed inside the separator shell 1. The outer wall of the heat exchange channel 2 is covered with wire mesh 3 and exchanges heat with the wire mesh 3.

[0020] Specifically, in this embodiment, a heat exchange channel 2 is provided in the separator shell 1, and the outer wall 2 of the heat exchange channel 2 is covered with a wire mesh 3, which exchanges heat with the wire mesh 3. This design allows the medium (such as cooling water or other coolant) in the heat exchange channel 2 to reduce the temperature of the wire mesh 3 through heat exchange, thereby condensing and removing water. Furthermore, the temperature of the medium in the heat exchange channel can be adjusted in summer and winter to adjust the water removal rate.

[0021] In summer, the temperature of compressed gas is usually higher than in winter. Therefore, a medium with a lower temperature than in winter is added to the heat exchange channel. Because the medium temperature inside heat exchange channel 2 is low, the wire mesh 3 and the outer wall of heat exchange channel 2 maintain a low temperature. When high-temperature compressed air enters the separator shell 1 through the gas inlet, the air comes into contact with the wire mesh 3 and the outer wall of heat exchange channel 2, condensing from gaseous water into liquid water, which is then captured and separated by the wire mesh 3. The separated water is discharged through the drain port 13, while the dry compressed air is discharged from the gas outlet, thus achieving the effect of steam-water separation.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the separator housing 1 includes an upper housing 14 and a lower housing 15, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchange channel 2 is located between the upper shell 14 and the lower shell 15, and the upper shell 14, the lower shell 15 and the heat exchange channel 2 are fastened together by bolts 16.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the separator housing 1 adopts a split design, and the upper housing 14, lower housing 15 and heat exchange channel 2 are fastened by bolts 16 to facilitate the installation, disassembly and subsequent maintenance and replacement of the components.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sealing groove 17 is provided at the connection between the heat exchange channel 2 and the separator shell 1, and the sealing groove 17 is filled with sealing material.

[0025] Specifically, to prevent gas leakage, a sealing groove is provided at the connection between the heat exchange channel and the separator shell and filled with sealing material. The sealing material is made of high-temperature resistant material, such as high-temperature sealant, metal gasket, polytetrafluoroethylene, ceramic sealing material, etc.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the heat exchange channel 2 is provided with a medium outlet 21 and a medium inlet 22, and is connected to an external medium circulation device through the medium outlet 21 and the medium inlet 22.

[0027] Specifically, in order to improve heat exchange efficiency, the medium in the heat exchange channel 2 is pumped out for circulating heat exchange through a medium circulation device. The medium circulation device can use a circulation pump and a cooling component to achieve the effects of medium circulation and cooling of the medium.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a guide plate 5 is further provided inside the separator housing 1. The opening edge of the guide plate 5 abuts against the inner wall of the separator housing 1, and the bottom of the guide plate 5 is connected to the drain outlet 13.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, to improve the drainage effect, a guide plate 5 is provided inside the separator housing 1 to collect the liquid water separated by the wire mesh 3 and then discharge it through the drain port 13. The guide plate 5 can adopt a funnel-shaped structure.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a drain valve 131 is installed at the drain outlet 13.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the heat exchange channel 2 is located between the gas inlet 11 and the gas outlet 12.

[0032] Specifically, the high-temperature gas flows from the gas inlet 11 to the gas outlet 12. By setting the heat exchange channel 2 between the gas inlet 11 and the gas outlet 12, more high-temperature gas can come into contact with the gas, thus improving the dewatering efficiency.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the content of this specification and illustrations should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
