AI Technical Summary
Traditional gas-liquid separators fail to effectively recover waste heat from high-temperature mist-containing gases, resulting in energy waste, and their separation efficiency for high-temperature and high-humidity gases is limited.
A gas-liquid separator with heat exchange is adopted. The hollow corrugated plate, the liquid supply pipe and the liquid outlet pipe form a heat exchange channel, so that the high temperature gas containing mist can exchange heat with the liquid to be heated. Combined with the staggered baffles, the flow path is extended to improve the uniformity and efficiency of heat exchange.
It effectively recovers waste heat from the gas, reduces production costs, and improves separation efficiency by accelerating mist condensation, ensuring that the liquid fully absorbs the heat from the gas.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas-liquid separation technology, specifically a gas-liquid separator with heat exchange. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, gas-liquid separation of high-temperature, mist-containing gases is a common and important process. Traditional gas-liquid separators mainly achieve gas-liquid phase separation through inertial separation, baffle separation, or adsorption-coalescing. Specifically, when a gas-liquid mixture flows through the obstruction structure (such as corrugated plates or baffles) within the separator, the gas, due to its lower density, is easily deflected, while the liquid impacts the wall surface and adheres due to inertia, subsequently converging and discharging under gravity. For fine mist droplets entrained in the gas phase, adsorption, coalescence, and separation of the droplets are typically achieved through multi-layer corrugated plates or blade structures.
[0003] However, existing technologies have the following shortcomings:
[0004] 1. Waste of thermal energy: High-temperature mist-containing gas carries a large amount of waste heat during the separation process, but traditional separators only focus on gas-liquid separation and do not effectively recover the waste heat in the gas, resulting in energy waste and increased production costs;
[0005] 2. Limited separation efficiency: For high-temperature and high-humidity gases, when relying solely on physical separation structures (such as corrugated plates), some droplets may be difficult to quickly cool and condense due to the excessively high gas temperature, affecting the separation effect.
[0006] Therefore, we propose a gas-liquid separator with heat exchange. Utility Model Content

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a gas-liquid separator with heat exchange, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1.
