Definitions
- 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. 3 636 682 discloses a swirl tube separator for separating solids from a mixture of fluid and solids, the separator comprising:
- the inlet part which is the part between the top of the housing and the lower edge of the tangential inlet, extends to below the frustoconical section and even to below the inlet opening of the open-ended fluid outlet conduit.
- Applicant has found that entrainment is reduced by selecting the specific length of the large diameter section of the fluid outlet conduit and the specific length of the inlet part of the housing so that the inlet of the open-ended fluid outlet conduit is below the inlet zone.
- Applicant have also found that the separation efficiency of a swirl tube separator can be improved by selecting a larger ratio of the ratio of the distance from the 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.
- the swirl tube separator according to the invention is characterized in that the specific distance 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 3.0, in that the specific length of the large diameter section of the fluid outlet conduit is between 1.0 and 1.4, and in that the specific length of the inlet part of the housing is between 0.50 and 0.70.
- 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 of the frustoconical section 15.
- the largest inner diameter of the frustoconical section 15 is equal to the inner diameter of the primary section 13 and the smallest inner diameter of the frustoconical section 15 is equal to the inner diameter of the secondary section 17.
- 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 5.
- a mixture of gas and solid particles is introduced into the inlet part 3 through 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 20.
- 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 5.
- 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 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.
- Normal operation of the alternative swirl tube separator is similar to normal operation of the swirl tube separator with reference to Figure 1.
- the function of the vortex stabilizer is to stabilize the vortex in the housing 1 and to delimit the lower end of the vortex.
- 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.
- the discharge of solid 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 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 the primary section 13 of the fluid outlet conduit 11 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.
- statin number is used to refer to the ratio of the tangential component of the mixture velocity to the axial component of the mixture velocity.
- a mixture of gas and solid particles was supplied to the inlet part of the cylindrical housing.
- the gas had a density of 1.23 kg/m3 and the pressure difference between the gas at the inlet part and in the fluid outlet conduit was 1930 Pa.
- the swirl number of the mixture in the swirl zone near the swirl imparting means was 1.73.
- the mixture contained 0.092 kg/m3 solid particles having a mean diameter of 14 ⁇ m. As a result it was found that 99.63% of the solid particles was discharged through the solids outlet opening and 0.37% through the fluid outlet conduit.
