Definitions
- the present invention relates to a coalescing media; and more particularly relates to a coalescing media for a hydronic air and sediment separation device.
- Coalescing removal separators are devices typically installed on hydronic HVAC systems to remove entrained gases (such as air) and solid particles (such as iron oxide) from the fluid flowing through the system. Gasses trapped in a hydronic system lead to potentially harmful corrosion. Solid particulates collect into sediment that can foul moving components in pumps or valves and damage sensors in the system.
- Coalescing removal separators work by passing the system fluid into a tank, through a coalescent media, and back to the system.
- the action of passing the fluid through the coalescent media enables the entrained gasses and particles to be removed from the system.
- the coalescent media disrupts the fluid flow and slows the fluid velocity, which allows gas bubbles to come out of solution and, through their natural buoyancy, float to the top of the separator tank to be vented out of the system.
- the reduction in fluid velocity allows solids in the fluid, which are heavier than the system fluid, to come out of solution and drop to the bottom of the tank to be later removed through a blow-down action.
- the blow-down action involves opening a valve at the bottom of the removal separator tank to atmosphere, utilizing the difference between atmospheric pressure and the system pressure inside the separator tank to force out the solid contaminants that have come out of solution as they passed through the coalescing media.
- the coalescent media also provides a surface for dissolved gasses and solids to collect, or coalesce, around. As more dissolved gas or solids pass through the media pack, the molecules will continue to coalesce until they are either buoyant enough to float to the top or heavy enough to drop to the bottom.
- coalescing removal separator media One problem with current coalescing removal separator media is that they significantly increase the pressure drop of the unit, which can negatively impact the overall system efficiency. Another issue is that they may not effectively remove gasses or solids due to their designs.
- the present invention provides a new and unique coalescing separator media that improves the pressure drop characteristics across the separator while improving the ability of the device to more effectively remove gasses and solids from the system fluid.
- this media consists of a series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets, e.g., made from stainless steel, arranged such that they fill a large portion of the volume of the separator tank.
- the corrugated sheets are assembled to each other where the peak of one corrugation is assembled to the crest of the other.
- the corrugations could also be assembled peak-to-peak and crest-to-crest.
- the perforated and corrugated sheets have an open area of 58% or greater, which facilitate the improved pressure drop characteristics.
- the fluid flows through the corrugated media makes contact with the face of the perforated material to slow down the fluid velocity, enabling the entrained gasses and solids to come out of solution and either rise or sink, respectively.
- the perforations of the corrugated sheet media provide multiple surfaces for dissolved gasses and solids to coalesce around.
- the vertically aligned corrugations of the coalescing media serve two purposes.
- the angled corrugations direct the fluid to pass through the coalescing media where the greatest surface contact could occur. Likewise, as the fluid has completed its pass through the coalescing media, the angled corrugations direct the fluid to the discharge nozzle to leave the separator, and allow the pressure drop to recover. These motions help reduce the overall pressure drop of the coalescing separator, compared to different designs.
- the vertically aligned corrugations are rigid and resist the compressive forces that the coalescing media would be subject to over the course of its operational lifetime. They are also resistant to any rotation.
- the corrugated coalescing separator media is to be retained within the separator tank by a tank head at the top and at least one retaining bar at the bottom. This provides sufficient open area to permit gas bubbles to rise to the top of the separator and solids to fall to the bottom.
- the present invention may take the form of apparatus featuring a coalescing removal separator having a combination of a separator tank and a coalescing media.
- the separator tank has a separator input configured to receive a fluid flowing through a system having entrained gas and solid particles, has a tank wall configured to form a volume/chamber inside the separator tank to process the fluid, and has a separator output configured to provide processed fluid having at least some, most or substantially all of the entrained gas and solid particles removed.
- the coalescing media is arranged in the volume/chamber of the separator tank, has a series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets substantially filling the volume/chamber of the separator tank and is configured to remove the at least some, most or substantially all of the entrained gas and solid particles from the fluid.
- the apparatus may also include one or more of the following features:
- the series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets may be made from a metallic material, such as stainless steel.
- the series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets may have peaks and crests, and may be assembled to each other where a peak of one corrugation is assembled to a crest of another corrugation.
- the series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets may have peaks and crests, and may be assembled to each other peak-to-peak and crest-to-crest.
- the series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets may have an open area of about 58% or greater, which facilitates an associated pressure drop characteristics.
- the series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets may have perforations that provide multiple surfaces for dissolved gasses and solids to coalesce around.
- the series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets may have angled corrugations that direct the fluid to pass through the coalescing media where greatest surface contact occurs.
- the angled corrugations may direct the fluid to the separator output to leave the coalescing removal separator and allow a pressure drop to recover.
- the series of vertically aligned corrugated perforated sheets may have vertically aligned corrugations that are rigid and resist compressive and/or rotation forces that the coalescing media is subject to within the separator tank.
- the separator tank may include a top portion having a tank head configured to retain a corresponding bottom portion of the coalescing media; and a bottom portion having at least one retaining bar configured to retain a corresponding top portion of the coalescing media.
- the top portion and the bottom portion may be configured to provide a sufficient open area to permit gas bubbles to rise to the top of the separator tank and solids to fall to the bottom of the separator tank.
