Gas-liquid separation pry separation performance test system and experiment method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of gas-liquid two-phase separators, particularly relates to a separation performance testing system for a gas-liquid separation lever and an experimental method thereof, and particularly relates to a gas-liquid mixture separation system suitable for large variation range of liquid-gas ratio and an experimental method thereof.
Background
At present, the separation mechanism of the gas-liquid separation technology in the petrochemical industry mainly relates to the following separation technologies, such as a gravity settling type, a filtration separation type, an inertia collision type, a centrifugal separation type, diffusion and the like, and each separation technology has an application range.
1) Gravity settling. The gravity separation of two phases is realized by utilizing the density difference of the gas phase and the liquid phase. Such separation devices require that the gas-liquid mixture stream be retained in the settling device for a relatively long time, and gravity settling devices can only separate relatively large droplets.
2) Filtering and separating. The gas-liquid mixture passes through a filter medium to separate liquid drops in the gas. Such separation device cartridges are therefore core components. The filter separation device has high operation cost because part of the filter elements are difficult to clean.
3) Inertial collision type. The liquid drop separation device uses the air flow to rapidly turn or to rush to the baffle and then rapidly turn, so that the movement track of the liquid drop is different from the air flow to achieve separation. The separator mainly refers to a corrugated (folded) plate type demister (foam) which has larger suction at a gas outlet to cause secondary entrainment and is only suitable for gas-liquid separation occasions with not very high requirements at present.
4) And (4) centrifugal separation. Mainly refers to a cyclone separator which generates centrifugal force which is tens times higher than gravity to separate gas and liquid. In practical engineering application, how to select the gas-liquid separation device mainly depends on the specific application environment of the separation device and the target to be realized.
So far, no gas-liquid separation device can be efficiently and stably applied to occasions with large gas-liquid ratio variation range.

An experimental method for a gas-liquid separation prying separation performance test system comprises the following steps:
A. liquid in a water tank 1 flows to an ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 3 under the driving of a pressurizing water pump 2, flow parameters of the liquid are accurately measured by using a flowmeter and a pressure gauge, air is pressurized by an air compressor 5 and flows to the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 3 after passing through a buffer tank 4, and gas-liquid two-phase fluid in the atomizing nozzle is fully mixed;
B. the mixed fluid treated by the atomizing nozzle enters a gas-liquid separator 6 in the form of atomized small droplets after being metered;
C. the two-phase mixed fluid entering the gas-liquid separator 6 firstly collides with the guide plate 9, the flow direction is changed, the flow speed is reduced, the residence time in the separation cavity is increased, and the primary separation is completed; through the multilayer coalescence plates 10, the fluid speed is further reduced, meanwhile, the coalescence elements have a regular fluid state, and liquid drops are gathered and fall off on the coalescence elements, so that the gravity settling zone separation is completed; the fluid carrying small droplets can capture smaller droplets to realize final separation after passing through the wire mesh mist catcher 12 at the gas phase outlet, the whole separation process is observed through the sight glass 7, and the parameters of the separation system can be adjusted in time;
D. after the separated fluid is completed, the liquid finally flows out from the bottom of the separation chamber to a liquid collecting barrel 15, the gas carrying a small amount of liquid drops is finally separated through a wire mesh mist catcher 12 of a gas outlet 13, and after the starting pressure of the safety valve 11 is reached, the valve is opened so that the gas is discharged into the atmosphere.
In order to accurately obtain the inlet flow velocity, a hot wire anemometer with small interference on a flow field and fast response is selected to measure the air flow velocity. The specific method for measuring the air flow speed is as follows: before the atomization system is turned on, the probe is extended vertically into the separation chamber 1/2 at the level of the sensor element facing the direction of the air flow, and a reading is recorded when the flow rate value displayed on the meter no longer fluctuates. Different air flow rates are achieved by adjusting the air flow regulating valve.
When the pressure difference between the two sides of the coalescence plate is measured, the rubber hose is used as an air guide channel to connect the high-pressure end and the low-pressure end to the two pipe orifices of the U-shaped pipe respectively, the airflow at the installation position of the pressure measuring orifice does not fluctuate violently, the pressure gauge is hung on the support vertically when the pressure gauge is used, and then working liquid is injected into the pipe according to the measured pressure.
The gas phase pipeline and the liquid phase pipeline are both provided with flow meters for measuring the flow of the two pipelines, so that the flow of the inlet of the separator can be obtained by the mass conservation principle.
The mass of the separated water and the settled water in the mixing chamber was measured using an electronic scale.
The separation time was tested using a tracer method. At room temperature, after the apparatus had operated steadily, red ink was dropped into the inlet of the separator, and the time required for complete diffusion was observed and recorded with a stopwatch.
The separation efficiency of the separator is measured by a weighing method, the specific measurement method is that the total amount of liquid entering the separator within 5min is accurately measured by a turbine flowmeter and a stopwatch, and the average value of 5 groups of parallel samples is taken as the total amount of liquid entering an atomizing nozzle. The separated liquid enters the liquid collecting barrel and is collected by the lower end liquid collector, and the total amount of the liquid collected in 5min is G2. The ratio of the two is the separation efficiency of the separator.
