All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
First embodiment
The invention provides a water divider according to a first embodiment.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, fig. 1 is a sectional view of a water separator according to a first embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a first water section provided in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention; fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the tail section water section provided by a first embodiment of the present invention.
The water separator provided by the first specific embodiment of the present invention includes a head water section 1 and a tail water section 2, wherein:
a) the first partial water section 1 comprises a header main flow tube 11 and a header drain tube 12. Both ends of the header main flow pipe 11 are provided with a mixed fluid inlet 111 and a header fluid outlet 112, respectively. Head drain tube 12 includes a head drain segment and a head gas transmission segment that communicate with each other, wherein: the head part drainage segment extends into the head part main flow pipe 11, and the head part gas transmission segment is positioned outside the head part main flow pipe 11; the end part pipe orifice of the head part drainage segment, which is far away from the head part gas transmission segment, is a head part reverse drainage pipe orifice 122, and the pipe orifice of the head part reverse drainage pipe orifice 122 faces to the same direction as the main fluid flow direction in the head part main flow pipe 11; the end pipe orifice of the head gas transmission section, which is far away from the head drainage section, is a head gas outlet 121, and the head gas outlet 121 extends out of the head main flow pipe 11.
b) The tail section water section 2 comprises a tail main flow pipe 21 and a tail draft pipe 22. One end of the rear main flow pipe 21 is a rear fluid inlet 211 communicated with the head fluid outlet 112, and the other end is provided with a water discharge outlet 212. The tail draft tube 22 includes a tail draft section and a tail gas transfer section that communicate with each other, wherein: the tail drainage section extends into the tail main flow pipe 21, and the tail gas transmission section is positioned outside the tail main flow pipe 21; the port of the tail drainage section, which is far away from the tail gas transmission section, is a tail reverse drainage pipe port 222, and the pipe port direction of the tail reverse drainage pipe port 222 is the same as the main fluid flow direction in the tail main flow pipe 21; the end pipe orifice of the tail gas transmission section far away from the tail drainage section comprises a tail gas outlet 221 and a tail gas inlet 223 communicated with the head gas outlet 121.
It should be noted that the main fluid flow direction in the header main flow pipe 11 herein refers to a main flow direction of the mixed fluid entering the header main flow pipe 11 from the mixed fluid inlet 111, and specifically, refer to an arrow direction marked horizontally in the header main flow pipe 11 in fig. 1 to 4. Similarly, the main fluid flow direction in the tail main flow pipe 21 refers to the main flow direction of the mixed fluid entering the tail main flow pipe 21 from the split flow, and specifically, refer to the arrow direction marked horizontally in the tail main flow pipe 21 in fig. 1 to 4.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the nozzle of the header reverse flow nozzle 122 is oriented in the same direction as the main fluid flow direction in the header main flow pipe 11, so that the gas flow direction in the header flow section is opposite to the mixed fluid flow direction in the header main flow pipe 11, so that the header drain pipe 12 can reversely lead out the gas separated in the header main flow pipe 11. This is because the liquid droplets in the mixed fluid have large mass and large inertia, and are difficult to change the flow direction, that is, the liquid droplets directly flow forward over the head reverse drainage tube opening 122 under the inertia effect, and are not easy to be drained into the head drainage tube 12; and the gas component in the mixed fluid has light weight and small inertia, so that the gas component is easily drained into the head drainage tube 12, and the effect of gas-liquid separation is achieved. Similarly, the pipe orifice orientation of the tail reverse drainage pipe orifice 222 is the same as the main fluid flow direction in the tail main flow pipe 21, so that the gas flow direction in the tail drainage section is opposite to the flow direction of the mixed fluid in the tail main flow pipe 21, and the tail drainage pipe 22 can reversely lead out the separated gas in the tail main flow pipe 21, thereby achieving the effect of gas-liquid separation. In addition, the outer side of the water outlet 212 is generally connected to a closed water tank, so that only separated liquid water enters the water outlet 212, and the remaining air flow after gas-liquid separation in the tail main flow pipe 21 is output from the tail air outlet 221. The gas stream exiting the tail gas outlet 221 may be considered dry gas with acceptable humidity because a sufficient amount of liquid water has been separated.
The working process of the water separator is as follows:
(1) the gas-liquid mixed fluid enters the header main flow pipe 11 through the mixed fluid inlet 111.
(2) Then, at the cephalad reverse drainage tube orifice 122 of cephalad drainage tube 12: the gas with lighter weight is guided into the head drainage tube 12 and then is output from the tail gas outlet 221; the heavier droplets and the remaining mixed fluid flow forward over the forward counter-drainage nozzle 122 under inertia into the aft main flow tube 21. Referring specifically to fig. 2, the dashed arrows in fig. 2 indicate the direction of flow of the separated gas, and the solid arrows indicate the direction of flow of the mixed fluid and the separated liquid.
(3) Finally, at the tail reverse draft tube port 222 of the tail draft tube 22: the gas with lighter weight and the remaining mixed fluid (the mixed fluid at the position has lower humidity after gas-liquid separation and can be regarded as dry gas with qualified humidity obtained after gas-liquid separation) are guided into the tail drainage tube 22 and then output from the tail gas outlet 221; the heavier droplets are inertially directed forward past the trailing counter-flow nozzle 222 and are eventually discharged through the discharge port 212. Referring specifically to fig. 3, the dashed arrows in fig. 3 indicate the direction of flow of the separated gas, and the solid arrows indicate the direction of flow of the mixed fluid and the separated liquid.
In conclusion, the invention innovatively provides the water separator with a novel structure, the water separator separates liquid drops in mixed fluid from gas by using inertia force, and the water separator can ensure good water separation efficiency. Because this water knockout drum does not need structures such as centrifugal mechanism, filter core or buckled plate, only needs the pipeline of nested structure can realize the effect of dividing to the volume is less, simple structure, and it is higher to arrange integrated adaptability, and this water knockout drum flow resistance is less moreover, can avoid inside material to drop to cause the runner to block up the risk that arouses the galvanic pile performance to descend.
