The invention relates to a U-shaped bubble ring generation device and method. The U-shaped bubble ring generation device consists of a bubble generation portion and a bubble ring generation portion; agrid is arranged at the
tail end of the bubble generation portion, a drainage plate is arranged in the middle of the bubble ring generation portion, bubble liquid is fully in contact with air to generate bubbles, bubbles are uniformly distributed in a
pipe through the grid,
heavy crude oil enters from the oil tube, the bubbles enter an annular cavity, after the flow of the bubbles is stabilized by the drainage plate, a bubble
thin layer which is stable and uniform is formed, the
heavy crude oil is isolated from a tube wall to obtain an annular flow which takes the bubbles as an outer ring, and the
heavy crude oil which is attached to the tube wall is reduced; and the heavy
crude oil delivering resisting is reduced, deposition of
wax crystals and
asphaltene on the bottom of a
pipe are relieved, and
recovery and
transportation energy consumption for the heavy
crude oil is reduced favorably; and when transportation stops, the bubbles can be separated into a bubble layer and a water layerin a short time, by the bubble layer, the heavy
crude oil is prevented from being in contact with the upper surface of the tube wall, the
water layer prevents the heavy crude oil from being in contact with the lower surface, and restarting of a
pipe system is facilitated.
