Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a plate and frame gas separation membrane module, belonging to the field of separation membrane technology. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, existing gas separation membranes mainly include flat sheet membranes, hollow fiber membranes, and spiral wound membranes. Flat sheet membranes have a simple structure, but their effective separation area per unit volume is small, making it difficult to meet the efficiency requirements of large-scale gas separation. While hollow fiber membranes have a large specific surface area, their manufacturing process is complex and costly, and they are prone to fiber breakage under high pressure conditions, affecting separation performance and service life. Spiral wound membranes, when processing large flow rates of gas, suffer from uneven gas distribution due to limitations in flow channel design, resulting in reduced separation efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a plate and frame gas separation membrane module that combines the advantages of large contact area, stable structure, flexible materials, and adaptability to multiple working conditions.

Multiple layers of separation membrane plates are disposed between the base plate and the cover plate, and a guide plate is disposed between the separation membrane plates. An inlet channel, an outlet channel, and an exhaust gas guide hole are respectively provided on the base plate, the cover plate, and the guide plate. The inlet channel and the outlet channel are respectively located at the two ends of the base plate, the cover plate, and the guide plate. The exhaust gas guide hole is located at the end of the inlet channel and the outlet channel and is used to connect the inlet channel and the outlet channel to the separation membrane plates. The separation membrane plate includes a substrate and separation membranes disposed on both sides of the substrate. The substrate is provided with a separation gas channel and a separation gas guide hole. The separation gas channel is disposed on the side of the substrate, and the separation gas guide hole is disposed at the end of the separation gas channel and is used to guide the gas that has passed through the separation membrane into the separation gas channel.
[0005] Preferably, multiple sealing ring fixing grooves are provided between the base plate and the separation membrane plate, between the separation membrane plate and the guide plate, and between the cover plate and the separation membrane plate.

The gaps between the support protrusions form surface guide channels, and the surface guide channels are connected to the separation gas guide holes.
[0008] Preferably, the base plate, cover plate, base plate and guide plate are made of plastic, aluminum alloy or stainless steel.

[0018] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a plate-and-frame gas separation membrane module includes a base plate 1, a cover plate 2, separation membrane plates 3, and a guide plate 4. Multiple layers of separation membrane plates 3 are disposed between the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2, and the guide plate 4 is disposed between the separation membrane plates 3. An air inlet channel 5, an air outlet channel 15, and an exhaust gas guide hole 6 are respectively disposed on the base plate 1, the cover plate 2, and the guide plate 4. The air inlet channel 5 and the air outlet channel 15 are respectively disposed at the two ends of the base plate 1, the cover plate 2, and the guide plate 4. The exhaust gas guide hole 6 is disposed at the end of the air inlet channel 5 and the air outlet channel 15, and is used to connect the air inlet channel 5 and the air outlet channel 15 to the separation membrane plates 3. The separation membrane plate 3 includes a substrate 7 and separation membranes 8 disposed on both sides of the substrate. The substrate 7 is provided with a separation gas channel 9 and a separation gas guide hole 10. The separation gas channel 9 is disposed on the side of the substrate 7, and the separation gas guide hole 10 is disposed at the end of the separation gas channel 9 and is used to guide the gas passing through the separation membrane 8 into the separation gas channel 9.
[0020] This invention employs a multi-layered separation membrane plate 3 and a guide plate 4 stacked together, and fixed and sealed at the top and bottom by a cover plate 2 and a base plate 1. The guide plates 4 are arranged between the separation membrane plates 3, with the number selected according to specific operating conditions. The cover plate 2, base plate 1, and guide plate 4 are respectively provided with an inlet channel 5, an outlet channel 15, and a waste gas guide hole 6. The separation membrane plate 3 is provided with a separation gas channel 9 and a separation gas guide hole 10. Thus, industrial waste gas enters the spaces between the base plate 1 and the separation membrane plate 3, between the separation membrane plate 3 and the guide plate 4, and between the cover plate 2 and the separation membrane plate 3 through the inlet channel 5 and the waste gas guide hole 6, and then passes through the separation membrane 8 for separation. The separated gas is discharged through the separation gas guide hole 10 and the separation gas channel 9. Unseparated waste gas enters the outlet channel 15 through the waste gas guide hole 6 for discharge. The separation membrane plate 3 is constructed by mounting the separation membrane 8 on a base plate 7, and sealing is achieved through the mutual compression of the base plate 1, cover plate 2, separation membrane plate 3, and guide plate 4.
[0021] Multiple sealing ring fixing grooves 11 are provided between the base plate 1 and the separation membrane plate 3, between the separation membrane plate 3 and the guide plate 4, and between the cover plate 2 and the separation membrane plate 3. Sealing rings are installed within the sealing ring fixing grooves 11, and the separation membrane 8 is held between the sealing rings. By setting the sealing ring fixing grooves 11 and the sealing rings, the sealing membrane is compressed by the sealing rings to achieve a seal, ensuring the sealing effect of the entire device. Multiple fixing holes 12 are provided on the circumference of the base plate 1, cover plate 2, separation membrane plate 3, and guide plate 4, and fixing bolts are installed in the fixing holes 12. The fixing bolts are used to fix the base plate 1, cover plate 2, separation membrane plate 3, and guide plate 4, thereby achieving a tight seal.
[0022] Gas containment grooves 13 are respectively provided on the top surface of the base plate 1, the bottom surface of the cover plate 2, both sides of the substrate 7, and both sides of the guide plate 4. Exhaust gas guide holes 6 and separation gas guide holes 10 are respectively located within the gas containment grooves 13. Multiple support protrusions 14 are also evenly distributed within the gas containment grooves on both sides of the substrate 7. The gaps between the support protrusions 14 form surface guide channels 14, which are connected to the separation gas guide holes 10. The gas containment grooves 13 ensure sufficient separation space for the gas, facilitating gas separation. Simultaneously, the multiple support protrusions 14 evenly distributed within the gas containment grooves on both sides of the substrate 7 provide support for the separation membrane, preventing it from collapsing or breaking under stress, thus affecting the separation effect.
[0023] In addition, the base plate 1, cover plate 2, substrate 7, and guide plate 4 are made of plastic, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel. Different materials such as plastic, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel can be selected according to the characteristics of the gas medium and the operating conditions to improve the applicability and service life of the membrane module and reduce maintenance costs.
[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the scope of the present utility model.
