DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(22) For elaboration the technical solution and design principle of the present invention, the present invention is further described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Embodiment 1

(23) As illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, a novel demister comprises a plurality of demisting units 1 spliced as a cellular shape; wherein the demisting unit 1 comprises a liquid collection cylinder 11, a flow guide cylinder 12 and a primary cyclone blade group 13. The liquid collection cylinder 11 is arranged on the periphery of the flow guide cylinder 12, and each liquid collection cylinder 11 is provided with at least one flow guide cylinder 12. The primary cyclone blade group 13 is mounted in the flow guide cylinder 12, and is positioned at a gas inlet end thereof. A side wall of the flow guide cylinder 12 is provided with a water permeable structure, and a gap is defined between an outer wall face of the flow guide cylinder 12 and the liquid collection cylinder 11, to thus form an interlayer chamber 14 through which water flows. The bottom of the interlayer chamber 14 is in communication with an external water discharge mechanism.

(24) The cylinder body of the liquid collection cylinder 11 is an equilateral hexagon, which facilitates seamless splicing of the adjacent demisting units. A butterfly-shaped bottom plate is arranged under the interlayer chamber 14, wherein the lowest position of the bottom plate is at the corner of the liquid collection cylinder 14. Corresponding to the lowest position of the bottom plate, the wall of the liquid collection cylinder 11 is provided with a chamfered short cut surface 111, to thus form a recess portion. As illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 7, the recess portion is positioned under the lowest position of the bottom plate of the interlayer chamber 14, and passes through a water permeable hole 112 and is in communication with the interlayer chamber 14, such that the liquid deposited in the interlayer chamber 14 flows out of the liquid collection cylinder 11 via the recess portion, which facilitates discharge of the deposited liquid. The flow guide cylinder 12 may be defined as a cylinder or an equilateral hexagon.

(25) The liquid collection cylinders 11 of the adjacent demisting units are connected via a clamping member 3. As illustrated in FIG. 13, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the clamping member 3 is provided with a triangular base 32, three claws 31 fixed above the base and a water discharge 33 tube connected under the base. When the adjacent demisting units need to be fixed, the clamping member 3 is clamped to the position where three adjacent demisting units are interconnected to each other, and the chamfered short cut surface 111 of the liquid collection cylinder is provided with a corresponding clamping mouth. After the three adjacent demisting units are interconnected to each other, three liquid collection cylinders 11 are spliced at the recess portion of the interconnection to form a triangular prism chamber. The base 32 of the clamping member 3 blocks from the bottom the triangular prism chamber, such that the deposited liquid flowing out of the interlayer chamber 14 are collected to the water discharge tube 33 of the clamping member 2 via the recess portion and directly discharged via the water discharge tube 33, or such that the water discharge tube 33 is connected to a crossarm pipe 2 supporting the demister and discharged outside the purification system via the crossarm pipe 2.

(26) The primary cyclone blade group 13 comprises a plurality of blades and a supporting mechanism for supporting the blades; wherein the supporting member comprises an outer frame 131 and a central member 134, the blades are annularly arranged in the frame 131, and an oblique flow passage is formed between two adjacent blades. The blades in the blade group comprise long blades 132 and a plurality of short blades 133 having different lengths; wherein an inner end of the long blade is fixed to the central member 134, and an outer end of the blade is connected to the frame 131; and each short blade is arranged between two long blades 132, an outer end of the short blade is fixed to the frame 131, and an inner end is not in contact with the central member 134. By virtue of the above arrangement, the blades are prevented from being distributed over-densely at the central member, and a great resistance is avoided, and pressure loss of the gas is prevented. To increase the fixing strength of the short blades, a supporting ring 17 may be arranged under and above the blade, such that the center of each blade is connected to the supporting ring 17.

(27) The blade comprises a section of curved plate, the cross section of the curved plate is a gradually-varied arc curve whose curvature progressively increases along a gas flow direction. As illustrated in FIG. 18, according to the actual needs in practice, a combination of the curved plates and straight plates may be employed, and the blades extend at a gradually-bending end of the curved plate to form a section of straight plate, which may reduce the resistance relative to the purely curved plate, as illustrated in FIG. 17.

Embodiment 2

(28) Based on Embodiment 1, the cellular structure of the liquid collection cylinder 11 may be further simplified, and the liquid collection cylinder 11 is defined as a structure as illustrated in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. Each liquid collection cylinder may be provided with a plurality of flow guide cylinders 12, and the wall of the liquid collection cylinder 11 is formed by sequentially splicing several wall plates having an equal width. An included angle between adjacent wall plates is 120 degrees. The recess portion is arranged at the corner of the liquid collection cylinder 11, such that each flow guide cylinder 12 is at least opposite to the wall plates on one side of the liquid collection cylinder.

Embodiment 3

(29) When the demister is used for separating extremely small-particle size mist droplets, for example, mist droplets in the range of tens to hundreds of nanometers, several secondary blade groups 15 may be additionally arranged at the rear section of the primary cyclone blade group 13 in the flow guide cylinder. To prevent an increase of the pressure loss in the demister caused by an increase of the number of layers of blade groups, a central member 151 of the secondary cyclone blade group 15 is defined as a hollow cylinder. However, relative to the position of the gas inlets of the blades of the secondary cyclone blade group 15, the central member 151 extends by a section at the side of incident-flow. Correspondingly, the interlayer chamber is also isolated into separate chamber units, wherein each chamber unit is configured to collect the liquid droplets separated by each layer of cyclone blade group.

(30) As illustrated in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, a primary cyclone blade group 13 is arranged on the side of a gas inlet of the flow guide cylinder, wherein a layer of secondary cyclone blade group 15 is arranged at a rear section thereof, the chamber units corresponding to the two blade groups are not in communication with each other, and water is discharged respectively.

(31) In the present invention:

(32) The flow guide cylinder 12 may be designed into the following: 1) a straight cylinder, 2) a conical cylinder, and 3) a hybrid of a straight cylinder and a conical cylinder.

(33) The water permeable structure of the flow guide cylinder 12 may employ any one of the following:

(34) a) a plurality of inclined slots are circumferentially arranged on the wall of the flow guide cylinder 12 to form the water permeable structure, as illustrated in FIG. 12;

(35) b) the entire cylinder body of the flow guide cylinder 12 is formed by enclosure of a plurality of baffles, wherein a gap defined between the baffles to form the water permeable structure, and the baffle is a straight plate or a curved plate, as illustrated in FIG. 10;

(36) Alternatively, the flow guide cylinder 12 is divided into an upper cylinder body and a lower cylinder body. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the lower cylinder body is a straight cylinder or a conical cylinder, and the upper cylinder body is formed by enclosure of a plurality of baffles. Gaps are defined between various baffles to form the water permeable structure. The lower cylinder body may be selectively provided with slots to form the water permeable structure. The baffle is preferably a curved plate, especially a curved plate whose curvature is variable. The conical cylinder has a diameter which progressively decreases from bottom to top (along the gas flow direction).

(37) c) the wall of the flow guide cylinder 12 formed by a water permeable mesh, membrane or filter cloth, and a supporting member for fixing the mesh, membrane and filter cloth.

(38) The baffles of the water permeable structure and the curved plates on the blades are formed on the flow guide cylinder 12, wherein the cross section thereof is an arc surface whose shape is preferably a corrected involute, and the curve equation thereof is as follows:

(39) $\{\begin{array}{c}x=k*r*\left(\cos +*\sin \right)\\ y=r*\left(\sin -*\cos \right)\\ =0\text{-}/2;r=0.5\text{-}10\mathrm{mm},k=0.3\text{-}3\end{array}$

(40) wherein is a spread angle, r is a base circle radius, and k is a correction coefficient.

(41) In the above embodiment, the mist droplets carried by the gas entering the demister are captured by the blades when passing through the cyclone blade group, and hence a liquid membrane which facilitates subsequent capture of the liquid droplets is formed, such that most of the mist droplets are removed. When the liquid membrane has a specific thickness, a portion of the liquid membranes form liquid droplets and drops down from the blades, and a portion of the liquid membranes are carried by the gas flow to the flow guide cylinder. The gas flowing through a curved cyclone demisting plate forms a rotary flow, and the remaining mist droplets and a portion of the liquid membranes are thrown to the rear of the wall of the flow guide cylinder, enters the interlayer chamber between the flow guide cylinder and the liquid collection cylinder via the water permeable structure on the wall of the flow guide cylinder, and then are discharged.

(42) According to the present invention, the demister employs gradually-bending curved surface separation, inertia separation and the like different treatment manners to treat the gas multiple times, and meanwhile the removed mist droplets are discharged via the liquid collection cylinder. In this way, the stage-wise demisting efficiency against the 10 nanometer mist droplets also reaches 90% or above, and the resistance is only several hundreds of Pas (when the gas flow velocity is 5 m/s).

(43) The basic principle, main features and advantages of the present invention are described and illustrated above. A person skilled in the art would understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and description in the specification are only intended to elaborate the principle of the present invention. Various variations and improvements may also be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
