Below at length with reference to accompanying drawing, the wherein identical same parts of numbering system expression all are designated by numeral 10 at the strainer shown in Fig. 1.
Device 10 comprises a housing (or shell) 12, as shown in FIG., this housing be one elongated, be roughly structure cylindraceous.Each end of housing 12 is provided with end socket 14 and 16, and axially being provided with of end socket takes over 18 and 20.
Taking over 22 and 24 is near housing 12 respective end portions, and the fluid communication of participation and housing 12 inside.
The fibrous bundle 26 that hollow hydrophilic fibre 28 is formed extends axially in housing 12, forms the film that is commonly referred to as numbering 26.Fiber 28 is made up of regenerated cellulose, and its internal diameter (aperture) is preferably about 200 microns (± 10%).So-called regenerated cellulose is meant that used Mierocrystalline cellulose is cuprous ammonium regenerated cellulose.And cuprous ammonium regenerated cellulose is a kind of Mierocrystalline cellulose of deutero-non-chemically, is essentially native state.Cuprous ammonium regenerated cellulose is the cellulosic molecule layer on chemical structure.Its concrete ultrastructure is unknown, but has known already that it was soaked with the hole that penetrated layer.Thick hydrogen bond is arranged between layer, produce the structure of highly crystalline.This structure has suitable wetting ability, and provides aquaporin to the diffusion of water and dissolved water-soluble substances.The film that the made film of cuprous ammonium regenerated cellulose is made than the chemically derived filamentary material of rhodia and so on is much thin.Material by the diffusion of cuprous ammonium cellulose membrane the distance of process than distance much shorter by cellulose acetate membrane.In view of cuprous ammonium cellulose membrane can provide much smaller, but more efficiently barrier has only diffusion water and dissolved water-soluble substances to pass through to this, and therefore, cuprous amine cellulose film convection cell kinetics has tangible positive-effect.
Different with the asymmetry micropore cellulose acetate membrane of prior art, cuprous ammonium cellulose membrane of the present invention is a non-porous film.In the film of prior art, ether or acetate moiety group system are exposed in the surrounding medium of intersection, and cuprous ammonium tunica fibrosa is different with it, and the group of exposure is a hydroxyl, provides one deck to be difficult for by the non-degradable chemical layer of hydrocarbon or halohydrocarbon dissolving or decomposition thus.And, with former cuprous ammonium cellulose membrane in dry air or to be used for the applicable cases of water surrounding in medical dialysis equipment different, the inventor has found that, because the cellulosic chemical property of cuprous ammonium, in the presence of hydrocarbon, it can resist the chemical degradation effect out of a clear sky.The performance of this resistive connection dirt unexpectedly can be divided compound of the present invention continuously from water-hydrocarbon or water-Halocarbon blends under not having the dirty situation of knot dried up.
The United States Patent (USP) 4 of Christopher H.Porter and John ATaylor, 288,494(1981 announced September 8) and also be the United States Patent (USP) 4 of Porter and Taylor, 333,906(1982 announced June 8) in disclosed with cuprous ammonium Mierocrystalline cellulose and made the various technology that can be applied to hollow fiber of the present invention satisfactorily.Also can use this technical field skilled person can thinkable these class other technologies.
Division plate 30 and 32 embeds the inwall of housing 12 hermetically, in fact housing 12 inside is divided into end chamber " A " and " C ", and centre chamber " B ". Division plate 30 and 32 clampings and encase the end of fiber 28, but (also can find out in more detail from Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) are as shown in Figure 1 opened wide the centre hole 34 of fiber 28, and make it and chamber " A " and " C " carries out fluid communication.
As required, can between film 26 and housing 12, screen 36 be set, so that film is firm, and structurally in advance with reinforcement, but the outside of single fiber does not add support.
Though device 10 provides two different fluid channels, respectively by housing 12.Especially as can be seen from the figure, enter the fluid of housing 12 along axially in housing 12, flowing by taking over 22, contact with the outside surface of fiber 28, and in this housing 12, axially flow to take over 24, a kind of transmission means that fluid from the hydrocarbon stream body source is contacted with the outer surface part of film are provided whereby.
The fluid that enters adapter 18 flows through centre hole 34 and chamber " C " of chamber " A ", fiber 28, flows out then and takes over 20, removes dry hydrocarbon fluidic storage equipment.
Referring now to Fig. 2, this is the sectional view (though wall thickness and not according to the ratio of reality) of single fiber 28.Fig. 2 is in order to the effect of fiber 28 skinnings 26 of explanation device 10, and from moisture dewatered mechanism.
For simplicity, in Fig. 2 with letter " W " expression moisture, as can be seen from the figure, enter take over 22 moisture along fiber 28(therefore along housing 12) the outer wall axial flow.Flow through the centre hole 34 of fiber 28 along direction with moisture " W " adverse current with the pressurized air gaseous purge stream of letter " S " expression.To keep a malleation gradient from outer wall 40 to its inwall 42 of the wall 38 of fiber 28.In other words, keep fiber 28 outer pressure (that is " B " indoor pressure) to surpass pressure in the centre hole 34, pass the wall of fiber 28, enter centre hole 34 with the material that helps to move.Certainly, any is arranged is clearly, although that is by making interior pressure (Pi) remain on a suitable high level, can keep a malleation gradient (Po is greater than Pi) effectively, the flattening of fiber 28 can be avoided.Pressure gradient can be from several pounds/inches 2To 1000 pounds/inch 2More than, as long as fiber is not crushed.Mass transfer efficiency rises along with pressure reduction and improves.
The fiber 28 of the film 26 in the shown device 10 is wetting abilities, do not have supporting, and diffusion water and dissolved water soluble ingredient are had preferential perviousness, and the gaseous medium (Sweet natural gas for example mainly is a methane) that carries moisture then can not see through.Because fiber is not have supporting, thereby fluid is continuously with unremitting at the mobile of fiber surface.Compare with the discontinuous film surface that supporting is arranged in the prior art, said structure causes the surface-area of fluid flow to increase, and helps the relative current body dynamics of system.Be adsorbed on the final wall that sees through fiber 28 that spreads of water on the fiber 28, arrive inwall 42.When water molecules appeared on the inwall 42 of fiber 28, mobile sweep air flow " S " was taken away water molecules immediately in center 34.The water that appears at like this on the inwall 42 is removed continuously by gaseous purge stream.Therefore, this film is a kind of proliferation part, mainly is made up of the nothing supporting with continuous free of discontinuities surface, the cuprous ammonium Mierocrystalline cellulose of atresia.Gaseous purge stream provides a kind of means that dewater, and promotes kinetics of diffusion, during hydrocarbon fluid passes through along fiber (all) length direction one way, can remove 95% water and dissolved water soluble ingredient at least from this fluid.Combine with ultra-thin cuprous ammonium fiber and as the scavenging stream of the means that dewater, and unobstructed continuous non-porous film surface provides the result of the separating dynamics that is greatly improved than the prior art system.These factors help device of the present invention during hydrocarbon fluid passes through along the staple length one way, can remove 95% water and dissolved water soluble ingredient from this fluid at least.
Comparatively it is desirable to, the fiber in the device 10 should be use up the thin of actual capabilities, because compare with thicker fiber, thinner fiber has higher resistance to pressure, and shows anti-flattening preferably.And, thinner, thereby a fairly large number of fiber provides higher fluid to transmit surface-area, therefore has higher efficient.
Fig. 4 represents to be positioned at the many fibers 28 of housing 12 numbers, and depicts the storage effect that each root fiber 28 moves in relevant mode among above-mentioned Fig. 2 significantly.
Referring now to Fig. 5, as can be seen from the figure, the system of general numbering 44 expressions is devices that are made of four assemblies, and wherein each assembly 46,52 is to install by reflux type.The moisture of taking over 54 accesss to plant 44 from the moisture feed flows through serial component 46,52 successively, then at dry gas (hereinafter to be referred as dry gas) quantity discharged 56 places, discharges and discharger as dry gas.The dry air gaseous purge stream enters menifold 58 at dry air inlet connection 60 places, concurrently by being arranged on each fiber (not shown) centre hole of the film in the assembly 46,52.The dry air gaseous purge stream enters menifold 62 by assembly 46,52 abreast, and then arrives wet discharged air downstream end 64.
Be applicable to that film of the present invention comprises the hydrophilic fibre film of Loeb and Sourirajan type, and at vol.2, " Synthetic Membranes Hyper-and Ultrafi ltration Use ", American Chemical Society Symposium Series 154, Albin F.Turbak, Editor(1981) this class film described in.Can use dialysis fiber type film.For different application, the rate of permeation of suitable film in fact can from zero until up to 20 ml waters/time mmhg rice 2
