Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air compressor technology, and in particular to a gas-liquid separation device and an air compressor. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of an air compressor is to use an electric motor to drive the crankshaft of the air compressor to rotate, and the piston does work to draw in air and gradually compress it, and finally release the compressed air. It is mainly used in many fields such as industrial production, manufacturing, automobile repair and maintenance, construction sites, medical equipment, food and beverage industry, aerospace, and agriculture.

[0003] The gas discharged from the air compressor cylinder often contains oil and water vapor, which condenses into droplets after intermediate cooling. If the oil and water droplets in the condensate are not separated and enter the next stage cylinder with the gas, they will adhere to the valves, causing them to malfunction and shorten their lifespan; water droplets will adhere to the cylinder walls, deteriorating the lubrication of the cylinder walls. Therefore, a water-gas separator is needed, such as the air-water separator for air compressors disclosed in patent publication number CN117212108A, which achieves water-gas separation by setting up a drying device, a water suction device, a shielding device, and a guiding device.

[0004] During operation, an air compressor compresses air, reducing its volume. This process reduces the distance between gas molecules, increasing collision frequency and energy, which in turn raises the temperature and hinders gas-liquid separation. Currently available air compressor water-air separators rarely have cooling capabilities. Utility Model Content
