Solution Overview
Problem
Existing microbubble generation devices effectively dissolve soluble gases in water but fail to efficiently separate insoluble gases, leading to pulsation issues and poor flow in the dissolution process.
Innovation Solution
A pivoting gas/liquid dissolution device with a cylindrical dissolution case, tangentially oriented introduction port, and a gas/liquid separation inducing mechanism using centrifugal force to separate insoluble gases from dissolution water, featuring concentric gas/liquid separation guide tubes with spiral guide channels to enhance separation and discharge.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If gas and water are mixed through venturi injector and rotation unit, then soluble gas dissolution is improved, but insoluble gas separation becomes insufficient causing flow disruption
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the gas-liquid separation process by introducing a dedicated separation chamber with baffle plates that divide the flow path. This allows soluble gas to dissolve in water while insoluble gas is physically separated through the baffle structure, preventing flow disruption and maintaining stable operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a separation chamber as an intermediary component between the rotation unit and dissolution tank. This intermediate structure uses baffle plates to mediate the separation between soluble and insoluble gases, allowing the dissolution process to continue smoothly while isolating the flow-disrupting insoluble gas.
2Productivity
If gas pressure increases to improve dissolution, then microbubble generation rate increases, but insoluble gas accumulation causes pulsation
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts insoluble gas from the gas-liquid mixture before it enters the dissolution tank through a dedicated separation chamber. By removing the harmful insoluble gas component that causes pulsation, the system can operate at higher pressures to improve microbubble generation rate while maintaining flow uniformity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the harmful effect of insoluble gas accumulation into a beneficial separation process. The separation chamber with baffle plates transforms the pulsation-causing insoluble gas into a separated phase that can be safely discharged, allowing the system to utilize higher gas pressures productively for enhanced microbubble generation.
3Quantity of substance
If rotation unit is used to increase gas solubility, then dissolution efficiency improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the rotation unit with the separation chamber into an integrated structure. The rotation unit that increases gas solubility is combined with baffle plates and separation pathways, allowing both dissolution enhancement and insoluble gas separation to occur within a single integrated component rather than requiring separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotation unit is designed with multi-functionality, serving both to increase gas solubility through rotation and to facilitate insoluble gas separation through integrated baffle structures. This universal design eliminates the need for additional separate separation devices, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining enhanced dissolution efficiency.

AI summary
A gas/liquid dissolution device includes: a dissolution case of a cylindrical shape; an introduction port outside a side surface of the dissolution case, where a dissolution water is introduced into the dissolution case and a different kind of gas is mixed through the introducing port; a gas/liquid separation inducer in the dissolution case, the gas/liquid separation inducer inducing the dissolution water and an insoluble gas introduced into the dissolution case to be separated to a gas and a liquid by a centrifugal force; and a discharge port outside an end portion of the dissolution case. The dissolution water and the insoluble gas are discharged from the dissolution case through the discharge port.
