Abstract

Air-oil separator is used to recover oil from the air leaving the compressor. The air-oil separator design is based on the minimum diameter of capturing oil droplet and the separation efficiency of the separator. The available air-oil separators are Cyclone, Labyrinth, wire and oil filter. In this work cyclone separator is proposed due to its higher separation efficiency for wide range of droplet size. The proposed model C1 to C6 is analysed using CFD tool and maximum separation efficiency is obtained for C4 model and minimum residence time and static pressure is obtained for C3 model. It is concluded that C3 model is finalized model due to least residence time and back pressure with acceptable separation efficiency.

空压机机械式气-油旋风分离器的数值优化

气油分离器用于从离开压缩机的空气中回收油。气油分离器的设计是基于捕集油滴的最小直径和分离器的分离效率。可用的空气油分离器有旋风，迷宫，电线和油过滤器。由于旋风分离器在液滴粒径范围大的情况下具有较高的分离效率，因此提出了旋风分离器。利用CFD工具对C1 ~ C6模型进行了分析，C4模型获得了最大的分离效率，C3模型获得了最小的停留时间和静压。结果表明，C3模型停留时间和背压最小，分离效率可接受，是最终模型。
