Technical field
Conical core type supersonic condensing cyclone separator of the present invention belongs to the swell refrigeration and the condensation separation technical field of pressed gas.The present invention is a kind of gas expand at a high speed cooling, state type condensation separating unit of separating heavy lime set in its high speed rotational flow field again of making.
Background technology
Utilize pressed gas pressure energy swell refrigeration, make heavy ends wherein be condensed into liquid, carry out gas-liquid separation then, to realize the separation of heavy ends in the mist.This technology can be widely used in the separation occasion of various mists, especially has using value in gas dehydration purification and lighter hydrocarbons recovery field.Conventional natural gas cryogenic technology often adopts " Bretton " circulation, and key equipment is the swell refrigeration machine, and turbo-expander, air wave refrigerating device or choke valve etc. are wherein arranged.Choke valve simple in structure, but it is the constant enthalpy step-down, pressure are can utilization rate very low, and cryogenic temperature is limited.The efficient of turbo-expander is higher, but Operations, Administration and Maintenance is numerous and diverse, and band liquid service ability is poor.The novel all-in-one refrigeration that develops simple and easy, durable, management easy to operate adds the separation technology, significant for fields such as natural gas processings.Shell Co. Ltd (Shell) is after buying the relevant patent that supersonic speed separates in 1997, further research and develop and put forth effort to be applied to natural gas processing, obtain some breakthroughs, successively to its Twister device application multinomial international monopoly (US 6513345B1, US2002/0194988A1, US 2003/0145724A1, WO 03/092850A1, WO 2004/020074 etc.).And in company of Petronas offshore gas field and Nigeria's gas field development, obtained checking in 2003 and use, still improving and improving at present.The Twister device of Shell Co. Ltd is mainly used in the dehydration of gases at high pressure, is that 7~15MPa and hydrocarbon condensing pressure surpass under the 5MPa condition at pressure, weight, body is long-pending and cost aspect bigger saving is arranged, at sea using has bigger advantage.Twister device tool no-movable part and need not add characteristics such as chemical agent, and can be unattended.But it is the big angle of sweep Yangtze River Delta wing that this device produces the parts of eddy flow, although have the high advantage of rotational flow separation efficient, easily produces shock wave near this member, destroys the low-temp low-pressure environment, causes the instability in condensation flow field.Xi'an Communications University proposes many air intake ducts supersonic speed rotational flow separation and back pressure device (ZL200610043158.2), a plurality of convergents or superonic flow nozzzle take place to adopt in its eddy flow, make the air-flow speedup, temperature is reduced to below the required degree of supercooling of moisture condensation, make condense in cold excessively atmosphere nucleation and growing up of heavy ends, high velocity air is along certain separating cyclone tube that tangentially enters simultaneously.But the drop that produces in this device nozzle easily makes the drop secondary volatilization of having condensed when injecting separator tube, cause unnecessary degree of supercooling loss; The gas velocity of jet expansion too high (velocity of sound or supersonic speed), spin intensity is excessive, has reduced stagnation pressure efficient.In addition, the supersonic speed rotational flow separation part of many air intake ducts supersonic speed rotational flow separation of the Twister of Shell and western Shanghai Communications University and back pressure device, all be to adopt the less increaser of angle, the difficulty of processing this smooth increaser is very big, and swirl strength can reduce with the increase of increaser diameter in the increaser, reduces gas-liquid separation effect.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art, provide a kind of simple in structure, handling ease, stable and reliable operation, pressure conversion efficiency higher, be used for the refrigeration that Mixed Gas Condensation separates and the conical core type supersonic condensing cyclone separator of isolation integral.
The technical solution of conical core type supersonic condensing cyclone separator of the present invention is: adopt the structure of inserting the awl core in runner, then making the cross section that comprises rotational flow generator, convergent rotation strengthening segment and condensation separation jet pipe, all is to ply in the centre the position and the annular that surrounds with outer casing inner wall by an awl core.
Because inserting the diameter of awl core can change arbitrarily throughout, therefore annular channel just is easy to form the structure of cross section convergent, throat's equal segments, cross section flaring, particularly at the supersonic speed divergent segment, can adopt the diminishing awl core of diameter and strategy that the jet pipe internal diameter remains unchanged, form along its length that top external diameter is constant, internal diameter constantly contracts circlet cross section reamer runner, the difficulty and the cost of processing flaring runner endoporus have not only been avoided, and the external diameter of runner remains unchanged, internal diameter dwindles, and interior eddy flow field strengthens more.This is as the effect of vortex tube, makes in the gas flow temperature of inner radius lowlyer, and dew point is lower and lime set is fully outer gets rid of separation, more helps improving the mass dryness fraction of working off one's feeling vent one's spleen.
In the conical core type supersonic condensing cyclone separator of the present invention, the rotational flow field of centrifugation is to be produced by circumferentially uniform curved arc shape blade water conservancy diversion, these blades make gas tangentially enter acceleration channels, hole and inner core are the subsonic speed runner section of the awl that contracts outside, the radius reduction of runner is very fast, according to the conservation of angular momentum rule, the angular velocity of rotation of fluid can increase substantially, and can produce very strong centrifugal force field.
Conical core type supersonic condensing cyclone separator of the present invention, surround the runner of passage section convergent, throat and flaring by the awl core of shell endoporus and insertion, fluid is accelerated to very high supersonic speed in runner, static temperature then drops to and the corresponding low temperature of Mach number, making wherein heavy ends cross condensation analyses, and the spin inwall of separated honeycomb duct of the high speed that is accompanied by air-flow, fine drop constantly runs foul of each other and grows up, and under the drive of air-flow flow further downstream.
Near the air-flow velocity maximum runner place, expansion turnover by endoporus, the Taper Pipe that continued access is inserted from the downstream, form the slit outlet of annular together in the socket of inner hole wall place, lime set film (containing a part of gas) water conservancy diversion with inwall goes out runner thus, enter in the fluid collection chamber and compile, discharge from liquid outlet again.The then most of Taper Pipe that continues that flows into of dry gas produces shock wave in its inlet back, and subsonic speed falls in speed, and pressure and temperature rises, and flows through the flaring runner of the Taper Pipe that continues again, the deceleration diffusion, and pressure and temperature gos up, and discharges from the dry gas outlet at last.
The design feature of conical core type supersonic condensing cyclone separator of the present invention is:
1. convergent continues the endoporus runner isometrical and the plug-in type awl core of segmentation reducing.
Be directed to the runner endoporus and be difficult to process, be difficult to guarantee the intrinsic unfavorable of dimensional accuracy, fineness quality, invent out endoporus and only process subsonic speed convergent awl and cylindrical hole, the method that cooperates the awl core of interpolation vary in diameter, subsonic speed, throat and the divergent segment runner of ring-type have been realized, thereby avoided mach difficult point, obtained precision height, ganoid water passage surface easily.And such supersonic speed runner can improve the effect of gas-liquid separation because inwardly expansion can make interior eddy flow field stronger.And, reduce energy loss because the existence of inner cone can reduce gas rotation velocity gradient radially.And ring cross-section is compared with cylindrical cross-section, can shorten the radially settling height of drop.
2. gas enters the subsonic speed runner by rotational flow generator.
Gas radially enters several prerotation vane runners again after import enters pressure stabilizing cavity, form the passage of inside convergent between each blade, gas is quickened gradually, and tangentially enter the jet pipe runner by radially changing into.
3. the subsonic speed eddy flow that undergauge is bigger strengthens the awl section.
Because in the subsonic speed section, runner inner cone and inner core diameter can be dwindled simultaneously significantly, can not contract suddenly and guarantee that cross section of fluid channel is long-pending, therefore can realize the bigger footpath ratio that contracts, the angular speed amplification that makes the air-flow rotation more very, separating power is strengthened more.
4. dry gas is derived the structure that passage adopts quadratic extension.
Plug-in type gas after the lime set outlet is derived passage and is adopted continuous one section isometrical section afterwards of expansion slightly, and then the structure of expansion, the effect of expansion for the first time is to make near the terminal and supersonic speed that keeps of liquid outlet circumferential weld of condensation separation jet pipe, avoid the shock wave reach, cause condensation separation section influence on flow field.Carry out the transition to isometrical section from first expansion segment, dry gas stream decelerates to below the velocity of sound by weak oblique shock wave; And second expansion segment is only real diffuser section, and subsonic flow is in this constant entropy deceleration supercharging.If the runner parameter designing is good, the pressure of conical core type supersonic condensing cyclone separator of the present invention falls can be less.
The beneficial effect that conical core type supersonic condensing cyclone separator of the present invention reached is: do not need additionaling power, by simple structure, mist such as natural gas etc. self are expanded accelerate to supersonic speed, static temperature greatly reduces, thereby make the heavy ends condensation, and under the effect of the powerful centrifugal force field that produces, realize the separation of lime set at it.
