Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, specifically to a filter screen support structure for an oil separator. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when a refrigeration system compressor operates, it compresses low-temperature, low-pressure gas into high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which then enters heat exchange equipment such as a condenser for heat exchange. Most compressors in refrigeration systems use oil injection for cooling or lubrication, inevitably carrying lubricating oil with them in the compressed gas. Lubricating oil is a medium with poor heat exchange performance; excessive lubricating oil entering the system will significantly affect the heat transfer coefficient and reduce the system's cooling capacity. Existing oil separator products typically have a first separation filter at the inlet to filter oil from the gas-oil mixture from the compressor. Multiple baffles are then installed between the first separation filter and the discharge pipe for further separation, and finally, an oil separator filter is installed at the end of the device for final separation. As the equipment is used over time, dirt and wear accumulate on the filter screens, and failure to replace them in time will affect the oil-gas separation effect.
[0003] A search revealed an oil separator in the prior art (publication number: CN215983380U), which describes a device as follows: "It includes a cylinder and end caps at both ends. The cylinder has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the bottom of the cylinder has an oil outlet and a drain outlet. A saddle is also provided at the bottom of the cylinder. An inspection port is provided on the end cap near the air outlet. The air inlet is connected to an air inlet pipe, which is placed inside the cylinder and its air inlet direction points towards the nearest end cap. A first baffle plate is provided below the air inlet pipe, a second baffle plate is provided behind the first baffle plate, and a filter screen is provided behind the second baffle plate." At least two filter element assemblies are located behind the screen, and the filter element assemblies are connected to the cylinder via a support plate. This oil separator places the filter screen in the middle of the cylinder and has multiple easily replaceable filter elements at the end of the cylinder. Even if one filter element fails, the others can still ensure normal operation of the equipment and improve separation efficiency. However, the filter screen fixedly connected inside the cylinder lacks a corresponding support structure, making the central part of the filter screen prone to accidental deformation and damage under continuous fluid impact due to the lack of support, thus reducing the filtration effect of the filter screen.
