Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a processing device, specifically an online processing device for lubricating paint film on an oil-spraying screw compressor. Background Technology
[0002] In chemical processes, screw compressors frequently come into contact with corrosive media containing sulfur, acids, or alkalis, or substances that easily contaminate lubricating oil. These substances enter the lubrication system along with the media, causing the lubricating oil to exceed sulfur content and acid value limits, disrupting oil stability, accelerating oxidation reactions, and ultimately leading to a continuous deterioration of indicators such as flash point and viscosity. This type of problem is prevalent in chemical scenarios involving sulfidation and catalytic reactions. The media react chemically with the lubricating oil, generating acidic substances and polar small-molecule insoluble compounds, which not only reduce lubrication effectiveness but may also corrode metal components, creating a vicious cycle.
[0003] During the operation of an oil-injected screw compressor, the lubricating oil needs to be in full contact with the compressed medium under high temperature (up to 100°C) and high pressure, which easily leads to oxidation and the deposition of polymers. The oil sample test in the document shows a severely high varnish tendency index, indicating that polar substances in the oil adhere to the metal surface to form a varnish film, causing a further increase in the temperature of the friction pair and exacerbating equipment wear. This phenomenon is common in the chemical industry; high temperatures accelerate oil oxidation, generating gums and asphaltenes, while high pressure makes the medium and oil mix more easily, both contributing to a decrease in the lubricating oil's anti-wear performance, reduced cooling efficiency, and even abnormal bearing temperature rise and equipment failure.
[0004] In chemical production, micron-sized contaminants carried by the medium (such as catalyst particles and mechanical impurities) and process residues (such as light diesel oil) can easily mix into the lubricating oil, forming colloids, viscous substances, and metal shavings. Screw compressors often experience problems such as reduced filter replacement frequency and dark-colored replacement oil containing abnormal deposits, reflecting the ineffectiveness of traditional dual-stage filtration systems in retaining complex impurities. This is especially true when contaminants possess both chemical corrosiveness (such as sulfur compounds) and physical abrasiveness (such as metal particles), leading to a sharp increase in filtration load and potential further failure of the filter material due to reaction with contaminants. These problems are particularly prominent in screw compressor applications involving multi-stage process cleaning and catalyst injection.
[0005] In some chemical processes (such as alkaline washing and media washing), if the separation effect is poor, residual wash oil and alkaline solution can easily enter the lubrication system with the media. After mixing with the lubricating oil, they form an inseparable mixture, damaging the oil viscosity and lubrication properties. This leads to poor bearing lubrication and cooling, specifically because the mixture of wash oil and lubricating oil alters the oil film structure, causing overheating of the friction pairs. Furthermore, if the lubrication system of an oil-injected screw compressor is not designed specifically for the process (e.g., lacking online filtration and desulfurization modules), relying solely on periodic oil changes and offline treatment is insufficient to cope with continuous contamination, resulting in a surge in maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an online lubricating paint film treatment device for oil-injected screw compressors, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0017] Oil sludge filter;
[0018] Fine filter, outlet connected to return oil port;
[0019] The second manual valve is located on the pipeline between the oil outlet and the oil filter pump.

[0024] Preferably, the outlet end of the oil removal film cleaning machine is equipped with an online oil cleanliness monitor.
[0025] Preferably, the intermediate tank is equipped with an oil condition observation window.
[0026] Beneficial effects: The installed solenoid valve solves the problem of online oil filtration by ordinary oil filters due to high oil system pressure, and the skid-mounted oil replenishment port solves the problem of difficult online oil replenishment and drainage in high-pressure lubrication systems.
[0027] Anti-backflow design: When the main unit is running, the solenoid valve opens to allow oil to flow in, and when the unit stops, the solenoid valve closes, which can effectively prevent lubricating oil backflow and ensure the stability of the oil circuit system.
[0028] Internal circulation mechanism: The intermediate tank supplies oil to the oil removal film purifier through the oil outlet and receives the purified oil through the oil return port, forming an internal circulation to ensure that the oil is continuously in the purification process.
[0029] Closed-loop system construction: The purified oil flows back to the intermediate tank through the return port after regulation. The high-pressure pump pressurizes the oil and sends it back to the equipment oil circuit, forming a complete closed loop and realizing the efficient recycling of oil.
[0030] Precise graded filtration: High-voltage electrostatic filter: Utilizing the principle of electrostatic adsorption, it can remove tiny charged impurities (such as metal shavings and polar paint film particles).

[0035] Online filtration mode: The intermediate tank is directly connected to the equipment oil circuit. The oil is continuously purified through the circulation of "intermediate tank → oil filter pump → four-stage filtration → intermediate tank" without stopping the machine. This allows for oil maintenance without stopping the machine and improves production continuity.

[0037] Online continuous operation: Adapted to continuous chemical production scenarios, it works in conjunction with the main unit to avoid downtime losses and ensure the efficiency and continuity of industrial production.
[0038] This prevents the condensation of toxic and harmful gases in the intermediate tank, allowing for flare venting. A safety valve is installed after the high-pressure pump; when oil is injected back into the equipment, if the resistance exceeds the system oil pressure, the safety valve activates, causing the oil to flow back into the intermediate tank.
