本発明の目的は、捕集したドレン液を短時間で排出できるオイルセパレータ及びドレン排出システムを提供することにある。
上記課題を解決するオイルセパレータは、油分を含む流体を気液分離して油分を含む液体であるドレン液を捕集するオイルセパレータにおいて、ドレン液を捕捉するオイル捕捉部と、前記オイル捕捉部によって捕捉されたドレン液を貯留する貯留部と、前記貯留部に貯留されたドレン液を排出するドレン排出口と、前記貯留部の内圧を上げる機構とを備える。
上記構成では、油分を含むドレンをオイルセパレータに捕集する際は、方向切換弁によって、オイルセパレータの上流における流れ方向が、ドレン排出路からオイルセパレータへ向かう流れ方向に切り換えられる。また、オイルセパレータに捕集されたドレンを排出する際は、方向切換弁によって、オイルセパレータの上流における流れ方向が、気体供給路からオイルセパレータへ向かう流れ方向に切り換えられる。このため、気体供給源から送られた気体をオイルセパレータ内に流入させることによって、オイルセパレータ内の圧力を上昇させ、貯留されたドレンをドレン排出口から押し出すことができる。このため、オイルセパレータに捕集されたドレンを短時間で排出することができる。
以下、図1~図6を参照して、第1実施形態を説明する。本実施形態では、ドレン排出システムは、圧縮機から送出される圧縮空気を乾燥する圧縮空気乾燥システムの一部として設けられる。また、この圧縮空気乾燥システムは、内燃機関を有する車両に搭載される。
図3に示されるように、オイルセパレータ3は、有底円筒状のケース11と、当該ケース11の開口部を密閉する蓋12とを備えている。ケース11の底部には、上述したドレン排出口3cが設けられている。
エアドライヤ2からパージエア及びドレン液からなる流体が排出されると、三方弁10を介して、オイルセパレータ3のドレン流入口3aに当該流体が流入する。
(1)空気供給装置6と接続する三方弁10を設けることによって、オイルセパレータ3のドレン溜め部48からドレン液を排出するときに、ドレン溜め部48の内圧を上げて、ドレン液をドレン排出口3c側に押し出すことができる。このため、オイルセパレータ3に捕集されたドレン液を短時間で排出することができる。
次に、図7を参照して、オイルセパレータ及びドレン排出システムの第2実施形態を、第1実施形態との相違点を中心に説明する。なお、本実施形態にかかるオイルセパレータ及びドレン排出システムは、第1実施形態に対してオイルセパレータの構成が異なるため、図面において第1実施形態と実質的に同一の要素にはそれぞれ同一の符号を付して示し、重複する説明は割愛する。
捕集されたドレン液の排出を開始するとき、上述したようにオイルセパレータ3に接続されたドレンホース3dを所定の位置から移動させて、ドレン排出口3cを開放する。また、オイルセパレータ3の開閉弁3eを閉じるとともに、空気供給装置6の供給弁を開き、空気供給路7に空気を供給する。空気供給路7から空気が供給されることにより、三方弁10の流れ方向は、第2の入口10bから出口10cに向かう方向に切り換えられる。
(3)オイルセパレータ3に捕集されたドレン液を排出する際は、空気供給路7に接続されていない空気排出口3bが閉じられるので、空気供給路7に接続されたドレン流入口3aから空気を供給することにより、オイルセパレータ3内の圧力をさらに高めることができる。このため、捕集したドレン液を短時間で排出することができる。
次に、図8を参照して、オイルセパレータ及びドレン排出システムの第3実施形態を、第1実施形態との相違点を中心に説明する。なお、本実施形態にかかるオイルセパレータ及びドレン排出システムは、第1実施形態に対して気体供給源が異なる構成であるため、図面において第1実施形態と実質的に同一の要素にはそれぞれ同一の符号を付して示し、重複する説明は割愛する。
捕集されたドレン液の排出を開始するとき、上述したようにオイルセパレータ3に接続されたドレンホース3dを所定の位置から移動させて、ドレン排出口3cを開放する。また、エアタンク5の下流の開閉弁5aを閉じるとともに、流量調整弁7aを開き、空気供給路7に空気を供給する。
(4)三方弁10に接続される空気供給路7は、エアドライヤ2から流出した圧縮乾燥空気が貯留されるエアタンク5に接続されるので、専用のエアタンクを設けることなく、既存のエアタンク5を利用することができる。
なお、上記各実施形態は、以下のような形態をもって実施することもできる。
・オイルセパレータ3は、ドレン流入口3a、オイル捕捉部40、空気排出口3b及びドレン排出口3cを備える構成であればよく、上述した以外の構成であってもよい。例えば、オイル捕捉部40を、内部に細かい通気孔を有する金属材(例えばクラッシュドアルミ)や邪魔板等から構成してもよい。
・オイルセパレータ3は、収容部材30がケース11を含む本体側に螺合部によって固定される、カートリッジ式の構成であってもよい。また、カバー25を省略した構成でもよい。
・収容部材30の底壁部に空気を流出させるための貫通孔を形成してもよい。
・上記各実施形態では、圧縮空気乾燥システムは、内燃機関を有する車両に搭載されるとして説明したが、内燃機関以外の駆動源を有する車両に搭載されてもよい。また、圧縮空気乾燥システムは、車両以外の機械に搭載されてもよい。
