Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a gas-liquid separator,

The present invention relates to a gas-liquid separator for separating a mixed gas and a liquid, and more particularly, to a multi-stage separation of a solution in which a liquid and a gas are mixed in an integral container having a multi- And at the same time, the liquid stored in the same space is prevented from being discharged together with the rise of the liquid level when the finally separated gas is discharged.

Generally, a gas-liquid separator is a device used for separating gas and liquid in various industrial fields, such as a fuel cell system, an air conditioner, a refrigerator / freezer, a medical device, a mixed effluent in a landfill, And is a device for separating a mixed fluid supplied from various chemical processing apparatuses for synthesizing or decomposing a gaseous compound into a gas and a liquid.

If the gas-liquid separator is not used in various devices as described above, the performance of a mechanical device installed at the rear end due to the liquid component contained in the gas or the gas component contained in the liquid is deteriorated. Therefore, it is used for separating the gas or liquid component contained in the predominant fluid component according to the target fluid component required in the subsequent step of the gas-liquid separator.

Especially, the gas-liquid separator used in the apparatus for separating leachate and gas from the landfill and the chemical process apparatus, separates the gas contained in the liquid, and thereby, the risk of explosion which may occur when the gas contained in the liquid is accumulated in the closed pipe It is an important device to prevent.

There are various types of gas-liquid separators such as a centrifugal separator, a condensation cooling type, an adsorption type using a solid adsorbent, an absorption type using a desiccant, a filter type, and the like.

As the most typical apparatus for separating the gas contained in the liquid in the above-described gas-liquid separator, a centrifugal separation method using the difference in specific gravity between gas and liquid is most commonly used. The reason for this is that it is mainly made of a cyclone type structure, so that the structure is simple and maintenance is easy, and the flow of gas such as air is not obstructed.

However, since the conventional centrifugal gas-liquid separator is not separated into 100% gas when the gas and liquid are separated from the cyclone and some liquid components which are not separated from the gas are discharged when the gas is discharged, To separate the liquid components and to discharge the gas toward the upper side while storing the liquid components. Therefore, in order to prevent this, it is necessary to have a separate water level measuring device and a device to be opened or closed according to the water level The overall configuration is complicated and the manufacturing cost is increased.

In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

 The lower partition plate 2 and the upper partition plate 3 are installed in the inner space of the gas-liquid separator main body 1 and the inner space is divided into the lower reservoir 4, the intermediate reservoir 5, 6). The shape of the gas-liquid separator main body 1 is preferably a cylindrical shape which can cope with pressure.

The lower reservoir 4 is a space in which liquid separated from the gas is stored. The intermediate reservoir 5 stores a non-separated liquid supplied from the outside, that is, a mixed liquid containing gas in the liquid, 6) is a storage tank in which a gas separated and discharged upward from the intermediate storage tank and some liquid discharged together with the gas are stored.

The gas-mixed liquid supplied to the intermediate reservoir 5 is supplied through an inlet 7 connected to the intermediate reservoir through a peripheral point of the gas-liquid separator main body 1. It is preferable that the position is connected through the upper peripheral position of the intermediate storage tank.

The discharge of the liquid separated from the gas stored in the lower reservoir 4 is discharged through the first liquid outlet 8 connected to the lower reservoir through the lower point of the gas-liquid separator main body 1.

The gas exhausted through the upper reservoir 6 is provided at the upper portion of the gas exhaust port 921 through a gas ejection unit 9 that opens and closes the gas exhaust hole 921 formed in the gas exhaust cover 92 by raising / . Liquid stored in the upper reservoir 6 is provided in the intermediate reservoir 5 and one end thereof is coupled to a hole formed at one point of the upper separator plate 3 and the other end thereof is connected to a peripheral point of the gas- And is discharged to the outside through the second liquid discharge port (11) passing through the formed hole.

The liquid discharged through the first liquid discharge port (8) and the second liquid discharge port (11) can constitute a transfer pipe so as to join at one point to the same liquid component.

The intermediate storage tank (5) is provided with a cyclone (12) for gas-liquid separation of the supplied liquid.

The lower end of the cyclone is formed with a third liquid outlet 121 for passing the separated liquid through the lower separator plate 2 to the lower reservoir 4,

The upper end of the cyclone is configured to discharge a gas to the upper reservoir 6 through a gas discharge guide tube 13 formed with a gas discharge port 122 passing through the upper separator plate 3.

An inlet 123 is formed at an upper circumferential point of the cyclone so that when the liquid stored in the intermediate reservoir 5 reaches a certain level, it flows in the sideways direction of the cyclone and descends to separate the gas and the liquid. That is, the liquid flowing in the sideways direction swirls along the inner wall of the cyclone having a large upper portion and narrower bottom portion and is discharged to the lower reservoir 4 through the third liquid discharge port 121. At the same time, the inner space of the swirling cyclone And the gas is discharged through the gas discharge port 122 and the gas discharge guide pipe 13 to the upper reservoir 6.

In another embodiment, the inlet 7 connected to the intermediate reservoir 5 into which the liquid mixed with the gas flows and the inlet 123 through which the liquid mixed with the gas flows into the cyclone 12 are directly connected So that the liquid mixed with the gas can be supplied to the cyclone 12 without being stored in the intermediate reservoir 5.

The cyclones 12 may be composed of a single or a plurality of cyclones depending on the capacity of the liquid mixed with the gas.

Meanwhile, the gas discharged into the upper reservoir 6 is not separated into 100% gas but is discharged with some liquid components contained therein. As the gas discharge increases in the upper reservoir 6, the liquid component falls downward due to its own weight . Specifically, for example, the raised liquid may stay on the surface of the upper reservoir 6 formed so as to become narrower in the upper direction, and may fall down and stored when the weight is increased.

When the gas flows into the upper portion of the upper reservoir 6 through the gas discharge guide pipe 13, the gas is discharged through the gas discharge hole 921 of the gas discharge portion 9 installed at the upper portion, When the level of the stored liquid gradually increases, the sub port 91 rises to block the gas discharge hole 921 to prevent the discharge of the liquid, and only the gas is discharged. At this time, in order to assist the ascending and descending of the sub-ball 91, a sub-ball case 93 having the same shape as a sub-ball is provided around the sub-ball to accommodate the ball. In addition, the balloon can further include a balloon guide 911 that overlaps the upper and lower portions of the surface to guide the ballooning movement in the ascent. At this time, it is preferable that the shape of the cigarette 91 and the cigarette case 93 is cylindrical.

The upper part of the upper case is connected to the upper part of the upper reservoir 6 and the lower part of the upper part is connected to the upper part of the upper part of the upper reservoir 6, It is spaced apart. At this time, in order to prevent the bumper case 93 from falling downward, a latching jaw 931 is formed at a lower portion of the bumper case to prevent the bumper 91 from falling downward. In addition, at least one upper hole 932 and a lower hole 933 are formed in the upper and lower circumferences of the bumper case, respectively, so that gas and liquid are introduced.

The portion 91 is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the mouth case 93 so as to have a slight gap so that gas and liquid can flow through the gap. Therefore, when the liquid stored in the upper reservoir 6 is lower than the lower portion of the mouth case 93, the gas rises to the gas discharge hole 921 through the upper hole 932 and the lower hole 933, The gas flows upward through the liquid to the gas discharge hole 921 through the upper hole 932 and the lower hole 933 and is discharged.

On the other hand, when the liquid level in the upper reservoir 6 exceeds the upper hole 932, the gas is compressed and discharged through the gas discharge hole 921 for a predetermined time while preventing the liquid from rising. The predetermined period of time refers to a period of time until the liquid level rises and the gas discharge hole 921 is blocked. At this time, the compressed gas delays the rise of the liquid, so that the synthetic resin material having a specific gravity lower than that of the water, especially the polypropylene material, delays the closing of the discharge hole, so that the gas discharge is performed for a certain time.

To this end, the bumper case (93) of the present invention is installed in such a manner that a section of the bumper case (93) passes through the upper end of the upper reservoir, and the upper hole is located on the upper side of the bumper case (93). This is because if the level of the liquid stored in the upper reservoir 6 exceeds the upper hole 932, the compressed gas will only allow the gas to escape while preventing the rise of the liquid and the bulb, The gas is already raised before the gas outlet hole 921 is closed, so that the gas is discharged without discharging the liquid.

In this case, the compressed gas remaining in the upper portion of the compressed state forms a space between the uppermost portion of the liquid and the gas discharge hole 921, and then the gas is continuously introduced into the upper reservoir 6 through the gas discharge guide pipe 13 When the liquid is discharged from the upper reservoir 6 through the second liquid discharge port 11 intermittently or continuously at the same time, the pressure of the compressed gas increases the volume of the gas, The gas is discharged through the gas discharge hole 921 again.

The gas discharge cover 92, which is formed so as to penetrate the gas discharge hole 921 in a vertical direction at a central portion thereof, may include a body flange 14 formed at an upper portion of the gas-liquid separator body 1, And is clamped and fixed by a bolt and a nut which are positioned between the conveyance pipe flanges 15 formed at one end of the gas transfer pipe 18 and penetrate between the flanges and the gas discharge cover 92. At this time, sealing grooves 16 are formed in the circumferential direction on the inner side surfaces of the main body flange 14 and the conveyance pipe flange 15, respectively. The sealing rings 17 are inserted into the respective sealing grooves and discharged through the gas discharging cover 92 So that the gas does not flow out of the flange.

The gas exhaust cover 92 has a protrusion 922 formed at a lower portion thereof to be inserted into an upper portion of the inlet case 93. A guide chamber 923 is formed at a portion of an upper portion of the gas exhaust cover 92 so as to form a gas exhaust hole 921 Is discharged through the hole 924 formed in the upper surface of the guide chamber 923 to the transfer tube 18 after passing through the space. In this case, the guide chamber 923 has a cylindrical structure, and the guide portion 943 of the discharge stopper 94 protruding into the guide chamber 923 assists in ascending and descending precisely without tilting. Accordingly, the lower stopper, which will be described later, changes the angle when the stopper is moved up and down, thereby preventing the gas from leaking due to unsafe contact with the gas discharge hole.

In addition, in the embodiment different from the guide chamber 923, a detachable conveying pipe 181 is formed at the upper side of the gas discharging hole of the gas discharging cover so as to be replaceable by forming a flange in the conveying pipe 18 so that the exhausted gas is discharged. And a hydrophobic film 925 is provided on the inner side of the separable transfer tube so that only the gas can pass through. As the hydrophobic film according to one embodiment, a hydrophobic organic film such as PTFE, PVDF, PP, or an inorganic film subjected to a hydrophobic treatment can be used. As a matter of course, any hydrophobic membrane having a fine porous structure capable of passing gas and blocking liquid passage can be used. The hydrophobic membrane fixed to the inside of the separable transfer pipe may be supported by a support bracket formed on the inside. Hydrophobic membranes are membranes that are formed to allow liquids such as water to pass through the micropores without allowing them to pass due to repulsive forces. The permeation selectivity of such a hydrophobic membrane to gases and liquids varies depending on the size of the micropores, the repulsive force of the hydrophobic membrane against the liquid, the processing capacity, the pressure difference, etc. In the present invention, The range of the size of the fine pores and the like is not limited.

Also, the reason why the separate type transfer pipe is provided under the transfer pipe or under the transfer pipe is that the hydrophobic film is durable and can be easily replaced when it breaks or breaks.

Further, a porous filter 926 may be further provided at the downstream end of the hydrophobic membrane to support the hydrophobic membrane. This is because the hydrophobic film may be damaged by the pressure. Here, the porous filter may have a porous structure such as a nonwoven fabric, or may be made of a porous metal or a ceramic solid component. At this time, unlike the hydrophobic membrane, the hole of the porous filter is sufficient to pass only the gas passing through the hydrophobic membrane through the visible hole. The main reason of the porous filter is that the hydrophobic membrane supports the rear end of the hydrophobic membrane, It is enough to let the gas pass while not being pushed.

Further, a demister 927 capable of removing water vapor on the upstream and downstream sides of the hydrophobic film may be additionally provided to reduce the load of the hydrophobic film.

In the meantime, according to the present invention, there is a problem of leakage due to an unstable surface contact which may occur when the gas inlet / outlet 91 moves up and down to block the direct gas outlet hole 921, and when the gap between the liquid and the gas outlet hole is too close, The gas exhaust hole 921 is reliably sealed to solve problems such as a reduction in the expansion force due to the compressed gas due to the reduction of the buffer space formed by the compressed gas space, And a cap 94 may be installed in the gas discharge hole 921. [

In this case, the discharge stopper is configured to be spaced apart from the upper part of the valve, and the valve is configured to block the gas discharge hole when the valve is in contact with the lower part in accordance with the rise of the liquid level, or is integrally formed with the valve. Thereby closing the gas discharge hole.

Specifically, the discharge stopper 94 includes a lower stopper 941 which is inserted into the gas discharge hole 921 formed in the gas discharge cover 92, and a lower stopper 941 which is normally inserted into the lower end of the gas discharge hole 921 A connection portion 942 which is formed on the upper portion of the lower stopper 941 to have a length protruding from the upper end of the gas discharge hole 921 and inserted into the gas discharge hole in the longitudinal direction, And an engagement portion 943 engaged with the engagement portion 943.

At this time, the length of the connection portion 942 is longer than the upper height of the gas discharge cover 92 in a state where the lower stopper 941 blocks the gas discharge hole 921, .

The outer diameter of the connection portion 942 is made smaller than the inner diameter of the gas discharge hole 921 so that the lower stopper 941 protrudes downward and the gas discharge hole 921 is opened so that the gas is smoothly discharged to the upper portion . In this case, when the lower stopper is lowered, the lower surface of the latching portion 943 blocks the upper surface of the gas exhaust cover 92 to prevent the exhaust of the gas. To solve this problem, 944 are vertically penetratingly formed. The position of the opening hole is formed along a circumferential direction corresponding to a clearance between the outer diameter of the connecting portion 942 and the inner diameter of the gas discharge hole 921.

With this configuration, when the engaging portion comes into contact with the upper surface of the gas discharge cover 92, the lower stopper is always opened by the length of the connecting portion, and the gas is discharged.

The connecting portion 942 and the latching portion 943 may be configured to be separated from each other. The detachable type can be constituted by an upper detent type or a bolt type. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in the drawing, a separable type is shown to be fastened by a bolt. When the fastening part is threaded through the upper part of the connecting part after passing through the fastening part in the vertical direction, The bolts 946 may be inserted into the grooves or the bolts may be separated to separate the connecting portions and the engaging portions.

When the discharge stopper is to be replaced according to the use, the bolt fastening is canceled to replace the discharge stopper.

Further, at least one sealing groove 947 is provided around the lower stopper, and a sealing ring 948 is provided in each sealing groove to increase the water tightness.

In addition, the shape of the lower stopper may be a cylindrical structure, a conical structure, a spherical structure, or a polygonal cylindrical structure although the structure of the lower stopper is only a conical structure in the structure according to the embodiment shown in the drawing. However, among these structures, a conical structure is most preferable because it is most easily opened and closed, and the watertightness is superior.

When the discharge stopper 94 is formed in a conical shape, the shape of the gas discharge hole 921 is formed so as to have a small diameter from the bottom to a predetermined height according to the shape of the discharge stopper, Respectively.
