Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil separators, and in particular to a high-efficiency horizontal oil separator. Background Technology
[0002] When the compressor in a refrigeration system is running, it increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant gas through compression. The gas then passes through a condenser, which removes heat from the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas, cooling it into a high-pressure, room-temperature liquid refrigerant. This high-pressure, room-temperature liquid refrigerant is then depressurized by a throttling element, resulting in a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant. This liquid absorbs heat from the object being cooled in the evaporator, vaporizing into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas. This gas is then drawn into the compressor and compressed into a high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant gas, thus entering the next refrigeration cycle.
[0003] An oil separator is typically installed between the compressor and the condenser to protect the entire refrigeration system. It ensures that the lubricating oil carried away by the refrigerant gas returns to the compressor's oil reservoir, preventing compressor failure, extending its lifespan, and ensuring safe and efficient operation.
[0004] Existing oil separators typically have coarse filter elements at the lubricating oil and refrigerant gas inlets. While this provides initial separation of the lubricating oil and refrigerant gas, the separation effect is limited. Furthermore, existing oil separators primarily rely on one or more internal metal wire mesh layers for oil and gas filtration and separation, resulting in a simple structure and low separation efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop new separator structures to improve separation efficiency and effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Purpose of the utility model: In view of the shortcomings and defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a high-efficiency horizontal oil separator, which changes the internal structure of the oil separator and improves the separation efficiency and effect.
[0007] Technical solution: The high-efficiency horizontal oil separator of this utility model is characterized by: including an air inlet, an air chamber one, an air chamber two and an air outlet connected in sequence; the air chamber one is provided with a filter one; the air chamber two is provided with a filter two; both the filter one and the filter two are provided with filter mesh inside.
[0008] The top of the first air chamber is connected to the air inlet, and the bottom of the first air chamber is connected to the second air chamber.
[0009] The bottom of the second air chamber is connected to the first air chamber, and the top of the second air chamber is connected to the air outlet.
[0010] The second air chamber is connected to the oil return port.
[0011] The filter is located at the bottom of the air chamber.
[0012] The second filter is located at the top of the second air chamber.
[0013] Both filter one and filter two are equipped with several layers of filter mesh inside.
[0014] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: The present invention sets up a first gas chamber and a second gas chamber, with a first filter in the first gas chamber and a second filter in the second gas chamber, thereby changing the internal structure of the oil separator and improving the separation efficiency and effect.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] This utility model discloses a high-efficiency horizontal oil separator, comprising an air inlet 1, an air chamber 2, an air chamber 3, and an air outlet 4 connected in sequence. Air chamber 2 is equipped with a filter 5; air chamber 3 is equipped with a filter 6; both filters 5 and 6 have internal filter meshes 7. The top of air chamber 2 is connected to the air inlet 1, and the bottom of air chamber 2 is connected to air chamber 3. The bottom of air chamber 3 is connected to air chamber 2, and the top of air chamber 3 is connected to the air outlet 4. Air chamber 3 is connected to an oil return port 8. Filter 5 is located at the bottom of air chamber 2. Filter 6 is located at the top of air chamber 3. Both filters 5 and 6 have several layers of filter meshes 7 inside.
[0020] This invention divides the cylinder into two chambers using a filtration module. Oily gas enters the cylinder through inlet 1, passes through chamber 2 and filter 5, completing the first filtration. The gas flow rate slows down in chamber 2 and is temporarily stored in chamber 3. As more gas accumulates, it passes through filter 6 under pressure, completing the second filtration, and finally reaches the outlet. Oil adheres to the filtration module and flows to the return port under gravity, completing the entire gas-liquid separation process.
[0021] This invention improves the separation efficiency and effect by setting up a first air chamber and a second air chamber, with a first filter in the first air chamber and a second filter in the second air chamber, thereby changing the internal structure of the oil separator.
