Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid separator technology, specifically a horizontal liquid separator with high efficiency for separation. Background Technology
[0002] A horizontal separator is a device used for separation. Traditional horizontal separators rely on high-speed airflow for gas-liquid separation, resulting in high system back pressure. Under low back pressure conditions, the airflow velocity entering the separator is low, making it susceptible to turbulence interference and leading to low gas-liquid separation efficiency.
[0003] In existing horizontal separators, the gas-liquid mixtures entering the separator under low back pressure conditions have a low gas velocity and are easily affected by turbulence. Therefore, without proper guidance of the gas-liquid mixture containing condensate, the simple separation process has low separation efficiency during sedimentation, resulting in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency horizontal separator to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, under low back pressure conditions, the gas flow velocity entering the separator is inherently low and easily affected by turbulence. Therefore, if there is a lack of good guidance for the gas flow containing condensate, the simple separation process has low separation efficiency during sedimentation, resulting in low work efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a horizontal separator for high-efficiency separation, comprising a tank body, a separator gas inlet, a separator gas outlet, and a condensate outlet. The separator gas inlet and the separator gas outlet are located at opposite ends of the tank body, and the condensate outlet is located below the tank body. A multi-component layered diversion assembly is installed inside the tank body, and the multi-component layered diversion assembly is arranged horizontally from top to bottom inside the tank body. Each layered diversion assembly includes a settling plate, and a wire mesh is installed above the settling plate of each layered diversion assembly.
[0006] Preferably, the upper surface of the settling plate is stepped, with the height decreasing step by step from the gas inlet of the separator to the gas outlet of the separator.
[0007] Preferably, the lowest step of the settling plate is provided with a collection surface, and a condensate discharge pipe is installed at the bottom of the settling plate corresponding to the lowest position of the collection surface. The condensate discharge pipes of the multi-component layered diversion assembly are respectively connected to the condensate outlet at the bottom of the tank.
[0008] Preferably, the layered drainage assembly further includes an inlet drainage arc surface and an outlet drainage arc surface, with the inlet drainage arc surface installed at the end of the settling plate near the gas inlet of the separator, and the outlet drainage arc surface installed at the end of the settling plate near the gas outlet of the separator.
[0009] Preferably, a guide plate is installed near the gas inlet of the liquid separator inside the tank. The outer diameter of the guide plate matches the inner diameter of the tank. The guide plate is provided with an inclined surface at a corresponding position below the gas inlet of the liquid separator to change the direction of feed flow.
[0010] Preferably, the length of the multi-component layered drainage assembly decreases layer by layer from top to bottom. In the layered drainage assembly of two adjacent layers, the outer edge of the lower layer inlet drainage arc surface exceeds the outer edge of the upper layer inlet drainage arc surface, and the outer edge of the lower layer outlet drainage arc surface exceeds the outer edge of the upper layer outlet drainage arc surface.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This invention utilizes a multi-layered flow guide assembly and a wire mesh to guide the gas containing condensate into the tank. The multi-layered flow guide assembly optimizes the airflow distribution of the gas containing condensate within the tank, preventing ineffective gas-liquid separation under low back pressure conditions. Simultaneously, the multi-layered flow guide assembly enhances the frequency of droplet collisions due to inertia, improving separation efficiency. The liquid that settles on each layer of the flow guide assembly eventually flows out from its corresponding condensate outlet, ensuring thorough processing of the liquid at each stage of the separation process. Before settling onto the settling plate, the gas containing condensate entering the multi-layered flow guide assembly passes through the wire mesh. The wire mesh increases the contact area with the liquid, and the collision between the liquid in the gas and the fine wires increases the inertia of its fall, while simultaneously adhering to the surface of the wires, effectively improving the gas-liquid separation efficiency.

[0019] 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.
[0020] One embodiment provided by this utility model: as follows Figure 1 As shown, a high-efficiency horizontal separator includes a tank body 1, a separator gas inlet 2, a separator gas outlet 3, a condensate outlet 4, a guide plate 5, a stratified flow guiding assembly 6, and a wire mesh 7.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the gas inlet 2 and gas outlet 3 of the separator are located at the two ends above the tank body 1, respectively, while the condensate outlet 4 is located below the tank body 1. To improve the separation efficiency of the gas containing condensate entering the tank body 1 through the gas inlet 2 during the separation process, the following structure is added to the flow process of the gas containing condensate.
[0022] A guide plate 5 is installed near the gas inlet 2 of the liquid separator inside tank 1. The outer diameter of the guide plate 5 matches the inner diameter of tank 1. The guide plate 5 has an inclined surface below the gas inlet 2 of the liquid separator to change the direction of feed flow. A multi-component layered flow guiding assembly 6 is installed inside tank 1, arranged horizontally from top to bottom. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the layered drainage component 6 includes an inlet drainage arc surface 61, a settling plate 62, a collecting surface 63, and an outlet drainage arc surface 64 arranged sequentially.
[0023] The length of the multi-component layered drainage component 6 increases from top to bottom. In the two adjacent layers of the layered drainage component 6, the outer edge of the lower layer inlet drainage arc surface 61 exceeds the outer edge of the upper layer inlet drainage arc surface 61, and the outer edge of the lower layer outlet drainage arc surface 64 exceeds the outer edge of the upper layer outlet drainage arc surface 64.
[0024] The gas containing condensate entering the tank 1 can have its airflow distribution optimized by the multi-component layered flow guide assembly 6, thus avoiding ineffective gas-liquid separation under low back pressure conditions. At the same time, the multi-component layered flow guide assembly 6 enhances the frequency of droplet collisions under inertia, thereby improving separation efficiency.
[0025] Meanwhile, since the gas containing condensate entering from the gas inlet 2 of the separator first passes through the inclined surface of the guide plate 5, the movement trajectory of the gas containing condensate is changed. The gas containing condensate leaves at different heights of the guide plate 5. The changed movement trajectory of the gas containing condensate after passing through the guide plate 5, combined with the different outer edge positions of the inlet guide arc surface 61 of each layer of the stratified flow guide assembly 6, makes it easier for the gas containing condensate to be diverted and enter the stratified flow guide assembly 6 at different heights. The guide plate 5 can also reduce the amount of gas containing condensate entering dead zones during its flow, thereby improving the gas-liquid separation efficiency.
[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a wire mesh 7 is installed above the settling plate 62 of each layer of the layered flow diversion assembly 6. The gas containing condensate entering the layered flow diversion assembly 6 passes through the wire mesh 7 before settling to the settling plate 62. The wire mesh 7 increases the contact area with the liquid, and the collision between the liquid in the gas containing condensate and the fine wires of the wire mesh 7 increases the inertia of the falling liquid. Simultaneously, the liquid adheres to the surface of the fine wires, effectively improving the gas-liquid separation efficiency in the gas containing condensate. The horizontal setting of the wire mesh 7 optimizes airflow distribution, reduces turbulence, and lowers energy consumption.
[0027] The upper surface of the settling plate 62 is stepped, with the height decreasing step by step from the gas inlet 2 of the separator to the gas outlet 3 of the separator. At the same time, the surface of each step is a sloping surface with a lower step height near the lower step. The liquid in the gas containing condensate falls onto the settling plate 62 and flows from the higher point to the lowest point. The unseparated gas containing condensate continues to settle on the settling plate 62. Due to the structure of the settling plate 62, the residence time in its settling zone is increased, thereby maximizing the separation efficiency.
[0028] An inlet guide arc surface 61 is installed at the end of the settling plate 62 near the gas inlet 2 of the separator, and an outlet guide arc surface 64 is installed at the end of the settling plate 62 near the gas outlet 3 of the separator. On the stratified flow guide assembly 6, the gas containing condensate before separation is guided by the inlet guide arc surface 61, and the gas containing condensate after separation is guided by the outlet guide arc surface 64, optimizing the gas flow trajectory containing condensate throughout the process and improving the gas-liquid separation effect.
[0029] A collection surface 63 is provided on the lowest step upper surface of the settling plate 62. A condensate discharge pipe 631 is installed at the bottom of the settling plate 62 corresponding to the lowest position of the collection surface 63. The condensate discharge pipes 631 of the multi-component layered diversion assembly 6 are respectively connected to the condensate outlets 4 at different positions at the bottom of the tank 1. The condensate discharge pipes 631 of the upper layered diversion assembly 6 are installed through the settling plate 62 of the lower layered diversion assembly 6. The liquid that settles on each layered diversion assembly 6 is collected by the collection surface 63 into its respective condensate discharge pipe 631 and flows out from the corresponding condensate outlet 4, so that the liquid at each stage can be fully processed in the separation process.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
