The present invention relates to a swirl tube separator for the separation of solids from a mixture of fluid and solids.
The separation of solids from a mixture of fluid and solid particles using a swirl tube separator is based on different centrifugal forces acting on the fluid and the solids of the swirling mixture.
USA patent specification No. 2 890 764 discloses a swirl tube separator for separating solids from a mixture of fluid and solids, the separator comprising: a housing having a cylindrical mid section; an inlet opening for the mixture arranged near a first end of the housing; a solids outlet opening arranged near a second end of the housing; a fluid outlet conduit being arranged concentrically within the housing, said outlet conduit comprising a small diameter section, a large diameter section and a frustoconical section ior interconnecting 20 the small diameter section and the large diameter section, the small diameter section having a free end which is in direct fluid communication with the interior of the housing and the large diameter section extending through said first end of the housing; and a swirl zone which extends, when the separator is being used, through the interior of the housing ftom near the inlet opening to a location near the solids outlet opening.
The lower end of the fluid outlet conduit coincides with the lower end of the swirl zone.
As can be seen in Figures 10 and 14 of the prior -2 art document the ratio o; the distance from said free end of the small diameter section of the fluid outlet conduit to the location to which the swirl zone extends and the inner diameter of the cylindrical mid section of the housing is much less than I.
Applicants have now found that the separation efficiency of a swirl tube separator can be improved by selecting a larger ratio between said dimensions.
There is disclosed herein a swirl tube separator for separating solids from a mixture of fluid and solids, the separator comprising: a housing having a cylindrical mid section; an inlet opening for the mixture arranged near a first end of the housing; a solids outlet opening arranged near a second end of the housing; swirl imparting means arranged in an inlet part of the housing, which inlet part is arranged near the first end of the housing; a fluid outlet conduit being arranged concentrically within the housing, said outlet conduit comprising a small diameter section, a large diameter section and a frutoconlcal section for interconnecting 20 the small diameter section and the large diameter section, said sections extending between the swirl imparting means and the solids outlet opening, the small diameter section having a free end which is in direct fluid communication with the interior of the housing and the large diameter section extending through said first end of the housing; and a swirl zone which extends in use of the separator through the interior of the housing from near the inlet opening to a location near the solids outlet opening; characterized in that the specific distance as hereinbefore described from said free end of the small diameter section of the fluid outlet conduit to said location near the solids outlet opening to which the swirl zone extends is between 1.0 and Here the specific distance is referred to as the ratio of the above-mentioned distance to the inner diameter of the cylindrical mid section of the housing.
Hereinafter in the specification and in the claims the expressions "specific distance", "specific length" and "specific inner diameter" are r r i 2A used to refer to the ratio of said distance, length and inner diameter to the inner diameter of the cylindrical mid section of the housing.
The invention will now be described by way of example in more I detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: I 5 Figure 1, shows schematically a cross-section of the swirl tube i| separator according to the invention; and Figure 2, shows schematically a cross-section of an alternative j swirl tube separator according to the invention.
I
,i ii i .28721 1'I 3 Reference is made to Figure 1. The swirl tube separator comprises a housing 1 having an inlet part 3 at its upper end and a solids outlet opening 5 at its lower end part. The inlet part 3 is in communication with an inlet opening 9.
An open-ended fluid outlet conduit 11 extends concentrically into the housing 1. The lower end of the fluid outlet conduit 11 is arranged between the inlet part 3 and the solids outlet opening 5. The fluid outlet conduit 11 comprises a large diameter section in the form of a primary section 13, a downwardly tapering frustoconical section 15 joined to the lower end of the primary section 13, and a small diameter section in the form of a secondary section 17 joined to the lower end 15 of the frustoconical section 15. The largest inner diameter of the frustoconical section 15 is equal to the inner diameter of the pri ary section 13 and the smallest inner diameter of the frustoconical section is equal to the inner diameter of the secondary section 17.
ar..' *i .4 eai.
ai *aaa* Swirl imparting means in the form of swirl vanes 19 are arranged in the inlet part 3 and between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the outer wall of the primary section 13 of the fluid outlet conduit 11.
A swirl zone 20 extends in the housing 1 between the swirl imparting means in the form of swirl vanes 19 and the solids outlet opening During normal operation a mixture of gas and solid particles is introduced into the inlet part 3 through 30 inlet opening 9. The mixture flows downwardly between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the outer wall of the primary section 13 of the fluid outlet conduit 11, and passes the swirl vanes 19, which swirl vanes 19 impart a swirl to the mixture. The swirling mixture forms a vortex in the swirl zone I_ I
-"II
I
-4- The swirling solid particles in the mixture are flung towards the inner wall of the housing 1 by the centrifugal forces acting on them. At the inner wall of the housing 1 the solid particles flow downwardly by gravitational forces. The solid particles are discharged from the swirl zone 20 through the solids outlet opening The gas in the vortex is withdrawn from the swirl zone 20 through the fluid outlet conduit 11.
The alternative swirl tube separator shown in Figure 2 is additionally provided with a vortex stabilizer 21 arranged at or near the solids outlet opening 5. The vortex stabilizer 21 comprises a vortex stabilizer plate 23 arranged perpendicular to the 15 central longitudinal axis of the housing 1, and a vortex finder rod 25 arranged parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the housing 1 and extending in the :"direction of the fluid outlet conduit 11.
ego•Normal operation of the alternative swirl tube separator is similar to normal operation of the swirl tube separator with reference to Figure i. The function K of the vortex stabilizer is to stabilize the vortex in the housing 1 and to delimit the lower end of the vortex.
S. 25 The inlet part 3 of the housing 1 may alternatively be provided with swirl imparting means in the form of a tangential inlet (not shown).
Normal operation of a swirl tube separator provided with a tangential inlet is similar to normal operation of the swirl tube separator provided with swirl vanes 19.
The swirl tube separator according to the invention is similarly operated when a mixture of liquid and solid particles is introduced into the inlet part 3.
I I i It has been found that the discharge of solid I particles through the fluid outlet conduit can be further reduced by choosing the dimensions of the swirl tube separator according to each of the following specifications: the specific length of the secondary i section 17 of the fluid outlet conduit 11 to be between 0.25 and 1.0, the specific length of the frustoconical section 15 of the fluid outlet conduit 11 to be between 0.20 and 0.30, the specific inner diameter of the secondary section 17 of the fluid outlet conduit 11 to be between 0.20 and 0.40, the specific inner diameter of the primary section 13 of the fluid outlet conduit 11 to be between 0.55 and 0.75, the specific length of *:ebb:the primary section 13 of the fluid outlet conduit 11 15 to be between 1.0 and 1.4, and the specific length of the inlet part 3 to be between 0.50 and 0.70.
