Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter technology, specifically a filter for the connection of process gas pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] If the welding of equipment pipelines is completed immediately and then directly connected to the equipment, various foreign objects such as sand, scale, and debris carried by the process gas are very likely to enter the equipment. Once these foreign objects enter, they can easily cause malfunctions such as jamming and blockage. This will not only interfere with the normal operation of the equipment, but in severe cases, it can also directly cause physical damage to the equipment. To avoid the above situations, a special filter is usually installed upstream of the equipment to effectively block these foreign objects from entering the equipment, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
[0003] During actual system operation, polymers and debris gradually accumulate on the filter screen, or the filter screen may develop stress corrosion cracks due to long-term erosion by corrosive components contained in the process gas, resulting in a decrease in filtration efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a filter for the connection of process gas pipeline.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a filter for a process gas pipeline connection, comprising a steel pipe, a filter element installed inside the steel pipe, a first flange located away from the gas inlet end of the steel pipe, a second flange connected to the first flange away from the gas inlet flange, the second flange being used for sealing the other end of the steel pipe; a flow guide elbow fixedly connected to the side wall of the steel pipe; a filter element installed inside the steel pipe; the filter element is cylindrical, with a support fixed to its outer side, the support abutting against the inner wall of the steel pipe; a flow guide tube fixed to the side of the filter element away from the second flange, one end of the flow guide tube abutting against the inside of the steel pipe, the other end converging and connected to the filter element; a filter screen installed inside the filter element; a fixing plate fixed to the side of the filter element near the second flange, the fixing plate having an L-shaped cross-section, its L end expanding outward along the edge, the fixing plate being installed between the first flange and the second flange along the edge; multiple filter holes arranged in an array in the middle of the filter element.
[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support base facing the steel pipe is an elastic structure, and the part of the elastic structure that abuts against the inner wall of the steel pipe is made of elastic material. The support base has multiple rings fixed to the outer wall of the filter element to prevent the filter element from vibrating during filtration and to facilitate removal and replacement.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sight glass plate is fixed to the second flange, and the sight glass plate is used to observe the inside of the filter element.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, differential pressure installation ports are provided at the flow guide elbow and the steel pipe inlet, with built-in differential pressure transmitters. The differential pressure changes of the fluid passing through the filter can be directly monitored in the control room, and the filter element blockage can be judged in a timely manner based on the differential pressure warning prompts.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner surface of the filter element near the second flange is fixed with mounting grooves on the upper and lower surfaces. The mounting grooves are C-shaped cylinders, and pull rods are fitted into the upper and lower mounting grooves to facilitate the removal of the filter element.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the filter screen is connected to the filter element by fixing bolts. Multiple fixing bolts are arranged circumferentially at any end of the steel pipe. A gasket is installed between the bolt head near the second flange and the filter screen. The nut of the fixing bolt is installed between the bolt head and the inner wall of the filter element. The edge of the guide tube converging end is installed between the bolt head away from the second flange and the filter screen, which facilitates the separation and replacement of the filter screen and the individual cleaning of the filter element.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide tube is bowl-shaped, and multiple annular sealing rings are fixed at the joint between it and the steel pipe to facilitate the guidance and sealing of gas.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the filter hole is trapezoidal, and the diameter of the filter hole narrows along the airflow direction. By setting the above structure, the flow velocity at the joint between the filter screen and the filter element is reduced, and the impact on the filter screen is reduced. This can both support the filter screen and prevent fragments from entering the equipment after the filter screen is damaged.
[0013] Technical effects and advantages of the utility model:
[0014] 1. By setting up a flow guide tube to change the airflow direction, the flow resistance of the filter is reduced, thereby ensuring that the filter effect is not reduced due to the flow resistance it generates and the flow interference it causes, and extending the service life of the filter screen.
[0015] 2. Both the filter element and the filter screen are designed to be detachable, with a high degree of integration, and are easy to replace the filter screen and clean the filter element. The double-layer structure allows for separate cleaning, extending the service life of the filter. Attached Figure Description
