an inner peripheral surface of the absorber main body facing the internal space is formed with projections and recesses.
According to the configuration of the above (1), the exhaust gas introduced from the exhaust gas introduction portion into the internal space of the absorber main body swirls in the internal space, and thus flows while being biased toward the inner peripheral surface of the internal space. By forming the irregularities on the inner peripheral surface of the absorber main body, the contact area (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "contact area") between the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface and the exhaust gas increases. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and therefore, the removal efficiency of harmful components in the exhaust gas (hereinafter also simply referred to as "cleaning efficiency") can be improved. In addition, since the cleaning efficiency is improved, the treatment time of the exhaust gas can be shortened, and the exhaust gas treatment apparatus including the absorption tower and the like can be made compact.
Further, the contact area can be increased by a simple means without additionally providing a device requiring driving force and without providing any structure in the internal space of the absorber main body.

According to the configuration of the above (4), since the unevenness includes one or more grooves extending along the circumferential direction of the absorber main body over the entire circumference of the inner circumferential surface, the contact area of the cleaning liquid along the inner circumferential surface with the exhaust gas can be increased, and thereby the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved.
(5) In one aspect, the structure according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein,
the unevenness includes one or more grooves formed along the axial direction of the absorber main body and provided over the entire circumferential area of the inner circumferential surface when viewed in the axial direction of the absorber main body.
According to the configuration of the above (5), since the unevenness includes one or more grooves formed along the axial direction of the absorber main body and provided over the entire circumference of the inner circumferential surface, the contact area between the cleaning liquid along the inner circumferential surface and the exhaust gas can be increased, and thus the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved.
(6) In one aspect, the structure according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein,
the unevenness includes one or more spiral grooves that are provided over the entire circumferential area of the inner circumferential surface and that are formed spirally on the inner circumferential surface.
According to the configuration of the above (6), since the unevenness includes one or more spiral grooves formed in the entire circumferential region of the inner circumferential surface of the absorption tower main body, the contact area between the cleaning liquid along the inner circumferential surface and the exhaust gas can be increased, and thereby the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved. In addition, the spiral groove is easy to form.
When the spiral groove is formed in the same direction as the swirling direction of the exhaust gas, the decay of the swirl can be reduced as compared with the case where the spiral groove is formed in a direction different from the swirling direction of the exhaust gas.
(7) In one aspect, the structure according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein,
the unevenness includes a plurality of first protrusions that are dispersedly formed on the inner peripheral surface and that are provided over an entire area in a circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface when viewed in an axial direction of the absorption tower body.
According to the configuration of the above (7), since the concave-convex portion includes the first convex portion, a contact area where the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface contacts the exhaust gas can be increased, and thereby the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved.

the exhaust gas introduction pipe comprises a straight-line-shaped straight pipe part which is arranged at a connecting part of the exhaust gas introduction pipe and the absorption tower main body,
the straight tube portion has a plurality of second protrusions dispersedly arranged on an inner peripheral surface of the straight tube portion.
According to the structure of the above (8), since the plurality of second convex portions are provided in a dispersed manner on the inner peripheral surface of the straight tube portion, the drift of the exhaust gas flowing through the straight tube portion can be suppressed. Accordingly, since the exhaust gas can be introduced into the absorption tower main body while suppressing variation in concentration distribution and flow velocity distribution of the harmful components contained in the exhaust gas flowing through the straight pipe portion, the contact between the exhaust gas and the cleaning liquid in the internal space of the absorption tower main body can be improved, and the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved.
(9) In one aspect, the structure of (7) is based on, wherein,
the spraying portion is provided to each of the plurality of first convex portions.
According to the configuration of the above (9), since the mist spray part is provided in the first convex part provided in the inner peripheral surface of the absorption tower main body, it is not necessary to provide the mist spray part in the central part of the inner space of the absorption tower main body. This can increase the space for bringing the cleaning liquid into contact with the exhaust gas, and therefore, the contact between the exhaust gas and the cleaning liquid can be improved, and the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved.
When the exhaust gas swirls in the internal space of the absorber main body, the exhaust gas is deviated toward the inner circumferential surface side. Therefore, if the cleaning liquid discharge port of the spray portion provided in the first projecting portion is directed toward the inner peripheral surface side and the cleaning liquid is densely spread toward the inner peripheral surface side, a large amount of cleaning liquid can be discharged to a region with a large amount of exhaust gas, and therefore, the cleaning efficiency can be improved.
(10) In one aspect, the structure of (9) is based on, wherein,
the spray unit is configured to spray the cleaning liquid in a mist form from each of the plurality of first protrusions toward a swirling direction of the exhaust gas.
The swirling force of the exhaust gas is attenuated by the contact of the cleaning liquid with the exhaust gas in the internal space of the absorption tower main body. According to the configuration of the above (10), the exhaust gas can be reduced in attenuation by spraying the cleaning liquid in the form of mist from the first convex portion toward the swirling direction of the exhaust gas. This improves the contact between the exhaust gas and the cleaning liquid, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
(11) In one aspect, the structure according to any one of (1) to (8), wherein,
the spraying part includes:
a main tube extending along a central axis of the absorption tower body within the interior space;
one or more branch pipes extending from the main pipe toward the inner peripheral surface; and
and a spray nozzle for spraying the cleaning liquid supplied from the branch pipe.
According to the configuration of the above (11), the spray nozzle sprays the cleaning liquid from the branch pipe toward the inner peripheral surface of the absorption tower main body, so that the cleaning liquid can be uniformly sprayed into the inner space, and the cleaning liquid film can be uniformly formed over the entire circumferential area of the inner peripheral surface. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
(12) In one aspect, the structure according to any one of (1) to (8), wherein,
the spraying part is formed in the inner space above the inner peripheral surface where the concave-convex part is formed and the exhaust gas introduction part,
the spray unit includes a nozzle pipe to which the cleaning liquid is supplied, which extends along a cross section of the absorption tower main body, and in which a plurality of nozzles are arranged in a dispersed manner.
According to the configuration of the above (12), since the nozzle pipe extends in the cross-sectional direction of the absorption tower main body at the uppermost portion of the absorption tower main body, when the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the nozzle, the sprayed cleaning liquid descends by gravity and is uniformly distributed to the lower internal space. Further, since there is no need to provide a spray portion in the internal space, the contact space between the exhaust gas and the cleaning liquid can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas. In addition, the spraying section can be configured simply by providing only the nozzle pipe.
(13) In one aspect, the structure of any one of (7), (9) or (10) is used as a basis, wherein,
the first convex portion has a polygonal pyramid shape, a conical shape, a frustum shape, a prismatic shape, a cylindrical shape, a spherical shape, an ellipsoidal shape, a three-dimensional shape having a half-moon shape in cross section, or a three-dimensional shape having a waveform in cross section.
According to the configuration of the above (13), since the first convex portion provided on the inner peripheral surface of the absorber main body has the above-described shape, the contact area between the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface and the exhaust gas can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
(14) In one aspect, the structure of (8) is based on, wherein,
the second convex portion has a polygonal pyramid shape, a conical shape, a frustum shape, a prismatic shape, a cylindrical shape, a spherical shape, an ellipsoidal shape, a three-dimensional shape having a half-moon shape in cross section, or a three-dimensional shape having a waveform in cross section.
According to the structure of the above (14), since the second convex portion provided on the inner peripheral surface of the straight pipe portion of the exhaust gas introduction pipe has the above-described shape, the drift of the exhaust gas flowing through the straight pipe portion can be effectively suppressed. Accordingly, since a uniform flow of the exhaust gas can be introduced into the internal space of the absorption tower main body, the contact between the exhaust gas and the cleaning liquid in the absorption tower main body can be improved, and the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved.

Fig. 1 and 2 are schematic vertical sectional views illustrating an exhaust gas treatment device 10(10A, 10B) according to some embodiments.
In fig. 1 and 2, an internal space s is formed inside the absorber main body 12, and a spray unit 14(14a, 14b) for spraying the cleaning liquid Cs is provided in the internal space s. Further, exhaust gas e discharged from, for example, an internal combustion engine (not shown) is introduced into the internal space s through the exhaust gas introduction portion 16. At this time, the exhaust gas e is introduced into the internal space s so as to swirl by the exhaust gas introduction portion 16. The exhaust gas e introduced into the internal space s contacts the cleaning liquid Cs sprayed into the internal space s in the form of a mist, SO contained in the exhaust gas eXAnd the like are absorbed and removed by the cleaning liquid Cs. The inner circumferential surface 12a of the absorber main body 12 facing the internal space s is formed with irregularities 18. Specific configurations of the unevenness 18 are exemplified in fig. 3 to 6.
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line a-a in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, the exhaust gas introduction portion 16 according to the embodiment is constituted by an exhaust gas introduction pipe disposed along the cross section of the absorber main body 12 and along the tangential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the absorber main body. The exhaust gas e introduced from the exhaust gas introduction pipe forms a swirling flow fs in the internal space s. The cleaning liquid Cs sprayed in the form of a mist from the spray part 14 spreads in the internal space s and adheres to the inner peripheral surface 12a to form a liquid film.
SO contained in the exhaust gas e when the cleaning liquid Cs is, for example, alkaline seawaterXReacts with alkaline substances contained in seawater to be neutralized and detoxified. As the cleaning liquid, lake water, river water or alkalified water can be used in addition to seawaterTreated water, etc.
According to this embodiment, since the irregularities 18 are formed on the inner peripheral surface 12a of the absorber main body 12, the contact area between the cleaning liquid Cs along the inner peripheral surface 12a and the exhaust gas e increases. On the other hand, the swirling flow fs formed by the exhaust gas e is biased to flow toward the inner peripheral surface 12a by the centrifugal force of the swirling flow fs. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid Cs and the exhaust gas e, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas. In addition, by improving the cleaning efficiency, the treatment time of the exhaust gas can be shortened, and the exhaust gas treatment device 10 including the absorption tower main body 12 can be made compact.
Further, the contact area between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas can be increased by a simple means of forming only the irregularities 18 on the inner peripheral surface 12a without additionally providing a device requiring driving force or providing any structure in the internal space s.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the exhaust gas introduction portion 16 is provided at a lower portion of the absorber main body 12, and the exhaust gas discharge portion 20 is provided at an uppermost portion of the absorber main body 12. The exhaust gas e introduced from the exhaust gas introduction portion 16 rises while swirling in the internal space s, and is discharged to the outside from the exhaust gas discharge portion 20. The irregularities 18 are formed on the inner peripheral surface 12a for forming a liquid film of the cleaning liquid Cs sprayed in the form of a mist from the spray part 14.
According to this embodiment, since the irregularities 18 are formed on the inner peripheral surface 12a for forming the liquid film of the cleaning liquid Cs sprayed in the form of mist from the spraying portion 14, the contact area between the cleaning liquid Cs along the inner peripheral surface 12a and the exhaust gas e increases. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the removal rate of the harmful components in the exhaust gas.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, a demister 22 is provided in an internal space s above the spraying section 14, the inner circumferential surface 12a on which the irregularities 18 are formed, and the exhaust gas introduction section 16.
According to this embodiment, the demister 22 provided at the most downstream side of the exhaust gas e rising in the absorber main body 12, that is, at the uppermost part of the absorber main body 12 can absorb the SO from the exhaust gas eXEtc. are harmfulSince the mist (liquid component) of the cleaning liquid of the component is removed, only the purified exhaust gas can be discharged to the outside.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the absorber main body 12 includes: an absorption unit 21 for spraying the cleaning liquid Cs in a mist form to make the exhaust gas e harmless; and an exhaust gas discharge unit 20 disposed above the absorption unit 21 and discharging the detoxified exhaust gas e. Further, the liquid is discharged from the liquid discharge path 23 provided in the bottom surface.
In one embodiment, the absorption tower body 12 may have a circular or oval cross-section or a square cross-section.
As shown in fig. 3, the unevenness 18(18a) according to an embodiment includes one or more grooves 24 formed along the axial direction (the direction of arrow a in fig. 1) of the absorber main body 12. The groove 24 is provided over the entire circumferential region of the inner circumferential surface 12a when viewed in the axial direction of the absorber main body 12.
According to this embodiment, since the unevenness 18(18a) includes one or more grooves 24, the contact area between the cleaning liquid Cs along the inner circumferential surface 12a and the exhaust gas e can be increased, and thus the exhaust gas cleaning efficiency can be improved.
Here, the phrase "the irregularities 18(18a) are formed along the axial direction" means that the irregularities 18(18a) are formed at an inclination angle of 0 to 30 degrees with respect to the axial direction.
Fig. 4 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view showing a part of the absorption tower main body 12 according to the embodiment.
As shown in fig. 4, the unevenness 18(18b) according to an embodiment includes one or more grooves 26 formed along the circumferential direction of the absorber main body 12 and extending over the entire circumferential region of the inner circumferential surface 12a when viewed in the axial direction of the absorber main body 12.
According to this embodiment, since the unevenness 18(18b) includes one or more grooves 26 extending along the circumferential direction of the absorber main body 12 over the entire circumference of the inner circumferential surface 12a, the contact area of the cleaning liquid Cs along the inner circumferential surface 12a with the exhaust gas e can be increased, and thus the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved.
Here, the phrase "the unevenness 18(18b) is formed along the circumferential direction" means that the unevenness 18(18b) is formed at an inclination angle of 0 to 30 degrees with respect to the transverse section perpendicular to the axial direction of the absorber main body 12.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view schematically showing the absorption tower main body 12. As shown in fig. 5, the unevenness 18(18c) according to an embodiment includes one or more spiral grooves 28 that are provided over the entire circumferential region of the inner circumferential surface 12a and that are formed spirally along the inner circumferential surface 12 a.
According to this embodiment, since the irregularities 18(18c) are provided over the entire region in the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential surface 12a, the contact area between the cleaning liquid Cs along the inner circumferential surface 12a and the exhaust gas e can be increased, and thus the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved. Further, the spiral groove is easy to form, and when the spiral groove 28 is formed in the same direction as the swirling flow fs of the exhaust gas e, the attenuation of the swirl can be reduced as compared with the case where the spiral groove 28 is formed in a direction different from the swirling direction of the exhaust gas e.
The grooves 24 and 26 or the spiral groove 28 may be formed in only one or two or more in parallel. The grooves 24 and 26 or the spiral groove 28 are formed on at least the inner peripheral surface 12a of the inner wall surface of the absorber main body 12, but may be formed on the bottom surface of the absorber main body 12 other than the inner peripheral surface 12a, for example, as shown in fig. 2. In addition, these grooves are formed over the entire region in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 12a when viewed from the axial direction of the absorption tower main body 12. The grooves 24 and 26 or the spiral groove 28 desirably have a depth equal to or greater than the liquid film of the cleaning liquid Cs formed on the inner circumferential surface 12a, for example, a depth equal to or greater than 5 mm.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view schematically showing the absorption tower main body 12. As shown in fig. 6, the concave-convex portion 18(18d) according to one embodiment includes a plurality of convex portions 30 (first convex portions) formed on the inner peripheral surface 12a in a dispersed manner. The convex portion 30 is provided over the entire region in the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential surface 12a when viewed from the axial direction of the absorption tower main body 12.
According to this embodiment, by forming the irregularities 18(18d) including the plurality of convex portions 30, the contact area between the cleaning liquid Cs along the inner peripheral surface 12a and the exhaust gas e can be increased, and thereby the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas can be improved.
The plurality of projections 30 need not be overlapped and disposed in a dispersed manner, and thus, the irregularities 18(18d) having an increased contact area can be formed.
In one embodiment, it is necessary to set the height of the convex portions 30 from the inner peripheral surface 12a, the interval between the convex portions 30, and the like within a range in which the increase in the pressure loss of the exhaust gas e passing through the internal space s does not affect the operation of the exhaust gas treatment device 10.
As shown in fig. 6, in one embodiment, the plurality of protrusions 30 are formed at positions that are point-symmetrical with respect to the center axis O of the absorber main body 12. Thereby, the contact area of the cleaning liquid with the exhaust gas can be uniformly increased in the cross section of the internal space s.
The convex portion 30 may be formed integrally with the inner peripheral surface 12a at the same time when the inner peripheral surface 12a is manufactured, or may be manufactured separately from the inner peripheral surface 12a and attached to the inner peripheral surface 12a after the inner peripheral surface 12a is manufactured.
In one embodiment, the blocking rate is 0% when one irregularity 18 is not provided on the inner surface of the absorber main body 12 (more precisely, in fig. 1 and 2, the entire inner surface region including the inner peripheral surface and the bottom surface of the absorber main body 12 in the lower region of the demister 22), and the blocking rate is 100% when the irregularity 18 is provided on the entire inner surface region. In this case, it is desirable that the occlusion rate be 50% or less. If the blocking rate exceeds 50%, the pressure loss of the exhaust gas e becomes large inside the absorber main body 12, and the swirling force of the exhaust gas e is attenuated.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the exhaust gas introduction portion 16 is formed of an exhaust gas introduction pipe connected to the absorber main body 12, and a connection portion of the exhaust gas introduction pipe connected to the absorber main body 12 is formed of a straight pipe portion 32 having a straight line shape. As shown in fig. 2, the straight tube portion 32 is arranged along the tangential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the absorber main body 12, and the exhaust gas e introduced from the straight tube portion 32 forms a swirling flow fs in the internal space s. Further, a plurality of convex portions 34 (second convex portions) are arranged in a dispersed manner on the inner peripheral surface of the straight tube portion 32.
When the straight pipe portion 32 has an elbow portion or the like on the upstream side, the flow of the fluid flows into the straight pipeThe exhaust gas in the portion 32 is liable to generate a drift. According to this embodiment, since the plurality of convex portions 34 are provided in a dispersed manner on the inner peripheral surface of the straight tube portion 32, the drift of the exhaust gas e flowing through the straight tube portion 32 can be suppressed. This can suppress SO contained in the exhaust gas e flowing through the straight tube portion 32XAnd the concentration distribution and the flow velocity distribution of the harmful components are deviated, so that the exhaust gas e is introduced into the internal space s as a uniform fluid. Therefore, the contact space between the exhaust gas and the cleaning liquid in the internal space s can be increased, whereby the contact between the exhaust gas and the cleaning liquid can be improved, and the removal rate of the harmful components in the exhaust gas can be improved.
The plurality of projections 34 are disposed in a dispersed manner without overlapping. This can enhance the effect of suppressing the drift of the exhaust gas e flowing through the straight tube portion 32. In addition, it is necessary to set the height of the convex portions 34 from the inner peripheral surface 12a, the interval between the convex portions 34, and the like within a range in which the increase in the pressure loss of the exhaust gas e passing through the straight pipe portion 32 does not affect the operation of the exhaust gas treatment device 10.
The convex portion 34 is desirably formed over the entire area in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface of the straight tube portion 32. The convex portion 34 may be formed integrally with the inner peripheral surface of the straight tube portion 32 at the same time when the inner peripheral surface is manufactured, or may be manufactured separately from the inner peripheral surface and attached to the inner peripheral surface after the inner peripheral surface is manufactured.
In one embodiment, the blocking ratio is 0% when none of the protrusions 34 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the straight tube portion 32, and 100% when the protrusions 34 are provided over the entire inner peripheral surface of the straight tube portion 32. In this case, it is desirable that the occlusion rate be 50% or less. When the occlusion rate exceeds 50%, SO is generated by the convex portion 34XThe concentration distribution of the harmful components and the variation in the flow velocity distribution can be suppressed, but the flow velocity of the exhaust gas e may be reduced and the swirling force inside the absorber main body may be reduced because the pressure loss is increased.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the spraying section 14(14a) includes: a main tube 40 extending along a central axis O of the internal space s; one or more branch pipes 42 extending from the main pipe 40 toward the inner peripheral surface 12 a; and a spray nozzle 44 that sprays the cleaning liquid Cs supplied from the branch pipe 42 in a mist form.
According to this embodiment, since the spray portion 14(14a) is provided in the axial direction at the center portion of the internal space s, the cleaning liquid Cs is sprayed from the center portion of the internal space s toward the entire circumference of the inner circumferential surface 12a by the spray nozzle 44, and thus the cleaning liquid Cs can be uniformly sprayed into the internal space s and the cleaning liquid film can be uniformly formed over the entire circumferential region of the inner circumferential surface 12 a. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
In one embodiment, spray nozzles 44 are mounted to manifold 42. Preferably, the cleaning liquid Cs is attached to the tip of the branch pipe 42 so as to be sprayed from the vicinity of the inner peripheral surface 12a toward the inner peripheral surface 12 a. This facilitates formation of a liquid film of the cleaning liquid Cs on the inner peripheral surface 12 a.
The branch pipes 42 may be disposed in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the absorber main body 12, or may be disposed in a direction inclined vertically from the cross section.
The spraying direction of the cleaning liquid by the spray nozzle 44 is set appropriately so that the cleaning liquid Cs is uniformly diffused into the internal space s or a liquid film of the cleaning liquid Cs is reliably formed on the inner peripheral surface 12 a.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the spraying section 14(14b) is provided in the internal space s above the inner circumferential surface 12a where the irregularities 18 are formed and the exhaust gas introduction section 16. The cleaning liquid Cs is supplied to the spraying section 14(14 b). The spray unit 14(14b) extends along the cross section of the absorption tower main body 12, and includes a nozzle pipe 46 in which a plurality of nozzles 48 are arranged in a dispersed manner.
According to this embodiment, since the spray portion 14(14b) extends along the cross section of the absorption tower main body 12 at the uppermost portion of the absorption tower main body 12, when the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the nozzle pipe 46, the cleaning liquid Cs sprayed in the form of a mist drops by gravity and is uniformly distributed to the lower internal space. Further, since it is not necessary to provide the spray portion in the lower internal space s, the contact space between the exhaust gas and the cleaning liquid can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas. Further, the spray unit 14(14b) can be configured to have a simple structure in which only the nozzle pipe 46 is provided.
Here, the phrase "the spray portion 14(14b) extends along the cross section of the absorber main body 12" means that it extends at an inclination angle of 0 to 30 degrees with respect to the cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the absorber main body 12.
In one embodiment, the cleaning liquid supply pipe 50 is connected to the nozzle pipe 46 and is led from the outside of the absorption tower main body 12 to the internal space s, and the cleaning liquid Cs is supplied from the cleaning liquid supply pipe 50 to the nozzle pipe 46.
In one embodiment, the nozzle tube 46 is comprised of an annular nozzle tube. For example, by increasing the diameter of the annular nozzle pipe and disposing the nozzle 48 at a position close to the inner circumferential surface 12a, a liquid film of the cleaning liquid is easily formed on the inner circumferential surface 12 a.
The nozzle pipe 46 may have any shape other than a ring shape, which can uniformly distribute the cleaning liquid into the lower internal space s.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the spray portion 14(14c) is provided at each of the plurality of protrusions 30. In the figure, the angle θ shows the spray angle of the cleaning liquid Cs.
According to this embodiment, since the spray portion 14(14c) is provided in the convex portion 30 provided in the inner peripheral surface 12a, it is not necessary to provide a spray portion in the central portion of the internal space s. Accordingly, the pressure loss of the exhaust gas flowing in the internal space s can be reduced, and the space for bringing the cleaning liquid into contact with the exhaust gas can be increased accordingly.
The nozzle opening of the spraying section 14(14c) may be arranged in a direction inclined vertically with respect to a cross section orthogonal to the axial direction of the absorption tower main body 12, or may be arranged with an angle in the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential surface 12 a.
When the exhaust gas e swirls in the internal space s, the exhaust gas e is offset toward the inner peripheral surface 12 a. Therefore, if the nozzle opening for spraying the cleaning liquid from the spray portion 14(14c) is directed toward the inner peripheral surface side and the cleaning liquid is densely spread toward the inner peripheral surface side, a large amount of the cleaning liquid can be discharged into a space with a large amount of exhaust gas, and thus the cleaning efficiency can be improved.
In one embodiment, the spray portion 14(14c) is configured to spray the cleaning liquid in the form of a mist from each of the plurality of protrusions 30 toward the swirling direction of the exhaust gas.
The cleaning liquid contacts the exhaust gas in the internal space of the absorption tower main body, so that the swirling force of the exhaust gas is attenuated. According to this embodiment, the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the convex portion 30 toward the swirling flow fs of the exhaust gas, whereby the attenuation of the swirling force of the exhaust gas can be reduced.
In one embodiment, the spray portions 14(14c) are distributed over the entire circumferential area of the inner circumferential surface 12a when viewed in the axial direction of the absorber main body 12. This allows the cleaning liquid to be uniformly distributed over the entire area of the internal space s.
The convex portion 30 provided with the spray portion 14(14c) can be arbitrarily selected according to the purpose, and therefore, is not necessarily arranged on the cross section of the absorption tower body 12, and may be arranged on the inner circumferential surface 12a in a spiral shape, for example.
In addition, the orientation of the plurality of nozzle openings of the spray section 14(14c) may be adjusted so that the cleaning liquids sprayed from the respective nozzle openings do not face each other.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8 to 13, the convex portions 30 and 34 can have various shapes.
For example, as shown in fig. 8, the shape may be a polygonal pyramid or a truncated cone. For example, a hexagonal pyramid-shaped convex portion is illustrated in fig. 8 (a), a triangular pyramid-shaped convex portion is illustrated in fig. 8 (B), and a triangular frustum-shaped convex portion is illustrated in fig. 8 (C).
With the above shape, the contact area of the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface 12a with the exhaust gas can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
For example, as shown in fig. 9, the convex portions 30 and 34 may be formed in a conical shape or a truncated conical shape. The conical convex portion is illustrated in fig. 9 (a), and the truncated cone-shaped convex portion is illustrated in fig. 9 (B).
With the above shape, the contact area of the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface 12a with the exhaust gas can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
For example, as shown in fig. 10, the convex portions 30 and 34 may have a prism shape. For example, a quadrangular prism-shaped convex portion is illustrated in fig. 10 (a), and a triangular prism-shaped convex portion is illustrated in fig. 10 (B).
With the above shape, the contact area of the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface 12a with the exhaust gas can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
For example, as shown in fig. 11, the convex portions 30 and 34 may have a cylindrical shape.
With the above shape, the contact area of the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface 12a with the exhaust gas can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
For example, as shown in fig. 12, the convex portions 30 and 34 may be formed in a spherical shape or an ellipsoidal shape. Fig. 12 (a) illustrates a spherical convex portion, and fig. 12 (B) illustrates an elliptical convex portion.
With the above shape, the contact area of the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface 12a with the exhaust gas can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
For example, as shown in fig. 13, the convex portions 30 and 34 may have a three-dimensional shape having a half-moon-shaped cross section or a three-dimensional shape having a waveform in cross section. Fig. 13 (a) illustrates a convex portion having a three-dimensional shape with a half-moon-shaped cross section 52, and fig. 13 (B) illustrates a convex portion having a three-dimensional shape with a waveform cross section 54.
With the above shape, the contact area of the cleaning liquid along the inner peripheral surface 12a with the exhaust gas can be increased. This improves the contact between the cleaning liquid and the exhaust gas, and improves the cleaning efficiency of the exhaust gas.
Industrial applicability
