The following specifically describes the water removal process of the water removal device provided in this embodiment with reference to fig. 5 to 7:
the exhaust gas enters the water removal device and flows from the inlet end to the outlet end of the sleeve 102, and when passing through the inlet cone 101, the inlet cone 101 compresses the exhaust gas, so that the movement speed of the exhaust gas is improved. The exhaust gas after the speed is increased collides with the inner wall surface of the sleeve 102 through the through holes 111, and then condensed water in the exhaust gas is attached to the inner wall surface of the sleeve 102 and is condensed along the inner wall surface of the sleeve 102 to the bottom of the outlet end of the sleeve 102 under the action of self gravity and the flow of the exhaust gas; the inner wall surface of the sleeve 102 is conical, and the inner wall of the outlet end of the sleeve is provided with a water retaining protrusion 122, so that condensed water gradually gathers at the liquid outlet; the exhaust gas hits the inner wall surface of the sleeve 102, then contacts and hits the outer wall of the guide cone 103, then reaches the outer wall of the outlet cone 104, and then passes through the gap between the outlet cone 104 and the inner wall of the guide cone cavity 131, and flows from the conical outlet cavity to the downstream pipeline.
The flow pattern of the condensed water attached at the outer wall of the outlet cone 104 is as follows: as shown in fig. 6, because the liquid is easier to adhere to the wall surface, when the condensed water is located below the outlet cone 104, the condensed water flows back to the lowest position along the outer wall surface of the outlet cone 104 under the action of gravity and then falls to the liquid drain port; as shown in fig. 7, when the condensed water is located above the outlet cone 104, it falls into the diversion cone cavity 131 due to inertia, falls into the inner wall of the sleeve 102 and is collected at the drain.
Condensate on the outer wall and the inner wall of the diversion cone 131 also respectively drops on the bottom of the sleeve 102 and is collected at the liquid drain.
In this way, the condensed water separated from the exhaust gas can be discharged through the liquid discharge valve 106, so that the exhaust gas flowing downstream is ensured to contain little condensed water, and basically kept in a gas state under the heat preservation effect of the sleeve 102, and the problem of pipeline icing is avoided to a great extent.
The water removal device provided by the embodiment can remove water on the premise of not changing the original engine pipeline arrangement form, and is simple in arrangement, convenient to detach and high in reliability.
The embodiment of the invention also provides an EGR system, which comprises a water removing device, wherein the water removing device is provided by the embodiment.
The water removal device can be arranged as one, and the water removal device can be particularly arranged on a pipeline between two devices arranged up and down in the EGR system and positioned at the upstream of the pipeline to prevent condensed water from adhering in the pipeline. The water removal device may also be disposed at a location in the EGR system where the exhaust gas contains a large amount of condensed water, and the present embodiment is not limited.
Of course, the number of the water removal devices can be set to be multiple according to the needs, and the number of the water removal devices is not limited in this embodiment.
The EGR system provided by the embodiment is applied to the water removal device provided by the embodiment, so that devices at low positions in the EGR system can be protected from being oxidized and corroded by condensed water, and the reliability of the whole engine is improved. Of course, the EGR system provided in this embodiment also has other effects related to the water removal device provided in the foregoing embodiment, which are not described herein.
In the present specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment is mainly described in a different point from other embodiments, and identical and similar parts between the embodiments are all enough to refer to each other.
The previous description of the disclosed embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
