Abstract
The aim of this paper is to design two improved baffles to solve the injection problem caused by traditional baffle in compact test separatorand use FLUENT software to study their effects on separator pressure loss and separation efficiency. The result shows: that anti-injection baffle can make compact test separator with a high separation efficiency with a relatively low pressure loss. Also, the diameter of anti-injection plate which makes the compact test separator at its highest separation efficiency is slightly smaller than that which makes the lowest pressure loss.
Highlights
The first patent on conical cyclone separator was obtained by O
With the progress of numerical simulation of cyclone separator, the simulation accuracy is improved from aspects of turbulence model, grid scheme, discrete format of control equations, and calculation steps [7]
To solve the problem of injection caused by traditional baffle which reduces separation efficiency, the author puts forward two kinds of improved baffles and further explores their effects on separation efficiency
Summary
The first patent on conical cyclone separator was obtained by O. In surface facilities of oil field, especially in the offshore oil field [2, 3], compact test separator is designed to remove liquid impurity in continuous gas phase. Sun et al used CFD software FLUENT to study flow field, gas-liquid two-phase flow, and influence of structure parameters on separation performance of recycling cyclone separator which has similar structure to that of compact test separator. Their simulation data have good agreement with experimental data [4–6]. To solve the problem of injection caused by traditional baffle which reduces separation efficiency, the author puts forward two kinds of improved baffles and further explores their effects on separation efficiency
