BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating drain water in engine exhaust gas for treating drain water produced when engine exhaust gas is cooled, for example.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When the exhaust gas of an engine is cooled, water vapor in the exhaust gas, vapor of an acid component due to NOx or SOx, and vapor of oil component are condensed to generate acidic drain water containing oil component. .

For example, in an engine-driven heat pump device, an exhaust heat exchanger is arranged, so the exhaust gas temperature drops. This exhaust heat exchanger is arranged in the middle of an exhaust passage for releasing exhaust gas of the engine from above the engine into the atmosphere. Also, the water vapor component in the exhaust gas is
Since the exhaust heat exchanger condenses due to heat exchange, a drain water passage is arranged to prevent accumulation in the exhaust pipe, and the drain water passage is guided below the exhaust passage.

The drain water is formed by condensing condensed acid with a liquid acid formed by dissolving the acidic gas in the exhaust gas or a vapor-like acid formed by reacting the acidic gas with steam. Therefore, a neutralizer is arranged in the middle of the drain water passage to reduce the acidity so that the drain water is discharged below the exhaust passage.

[0005]

By the way, in addition to drain water in which acid is dissolved due to acid gas, exhaust gas enters the drain water passage, and this exhaust gas passes through the upper part of the neutralizer to generate exhaust gas. The gaseous acid or acidic gas component contained in the gas may be discharged to the outside from the drain water discharge port without being neutralized. At the time of this discharge, the acidic gas component is dissolved in the drain water or the vapor-like acid is condensed and mixed into the drain water, and the neutralized drain water is acidified again,
On the way of draining the acidified drain water, there is a possibility that, for example, the basic concrete of the outdoor unit or the surrounding concrete may be corroded.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a drain water treatment apparatus for engine exhaust gas which suppresses an increase in the acidity of drain water due to the entry of exhaust gas.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the drain water treatment apparatus for engine exhaust gas according to claim 1 is characterized in that a neutralizing agent is disposed in the middle of the drain water treatment apparatus to cause a drain in the exhaust passage. A gas-liquid separator having a drain water inlet, a drain water outlet, and an exhaust gas outlet provided above the drain water outlet is arranged in the middle of the drain water passage for introducing and neutralizing water. At the same time, an exhaust return pipe that connects the exhaust gas outlet to a discharge port provided at a lower pressure portion than the drain water introduction portion in the exhaust passage is arranged.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a drain water treatment apparatus for exhaust gas in an engine exhaust gas, wherein one end of the exhaust gas return pipe is provided on an upper portion of the neutralization apparatus provided with a drain storage section in which the neutralizing agent is arranged. It is characterized in that the neutralizer is used as the gas-liquid separator by being connected.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a drain water treatment system for exhaust gas in an engine exhaust gas, wherein a drain water storage section and a drain water storage section are provided in the middle of a first drain water passage for introducing drain water generated in an exhaust passage of an engine. A neutralizer is placed in the water storage section, and a gas-liquid separator is placed in the middle of the first drain water passage, either integrally with the drain water storage section or upstream of the drain water storage section. A second drain water passage for introducing drain water generated in the low pressure exhaust passage from the exhaust passage side opening of the first drain water passage is arranged in communication with an upper portion of the drain water in the gas-liquid separator. The cross-sectional area of the second drain water passage is larger than the cross-sectional area of the upstream portion of the gas-liquid separator.

[0010]

According to the invention described in claim 1, even if the exhaust gas enters, the exhaust gas is separated by the gas-liquid separator and returned to the exhaust pipe, so that the exhaust gas can be discharged from the drain water discharge port. Disappear. Therefore, in the middle of the drain water passage to the drain water discharge port, it is possible to reduce the amount of the acidic gas component in the gas state dissolved in the drain water.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the drain water storage section in which the neutralizing agent is arranged can also serve as the gas-liquid separator, and the number of parts can be reduced.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the exhaust gas entering the gas-liquid separator from the first drain water passage for introducing the drain water generated in the exhaust passage of the engine is opened on the exhaust passage side of the first drain water passage. Section enters the second drain water passage for introducing drain water generated in the exhaust passage of the low pressure portion, and flows backward in the exhaust passage direction. However, since the cross-sectional area of the second drain water passage is large, all the drain water flowing down the second drain water passage will not flow backward. That is, the second drain water passage can serve both as a return pipe for the exhaust gas after separation and as a passage for drain water toward the gas-liquid separator.

A spare drain water discharge passage 86 is connected to the outlet 500i, and the outlet 86a is discharged at almost the height of the upper end of the neutralizer 50.

The lid 501 has an inlet 501a, which is the drain water inlet of the present application, at a position facing the small chamber 503a defined by the weir wall 500g of the compartment 503, and an inlet 501b at a position facing the small chamber 503b of the compartment 503. Further, an opening 501c is formed at a position facing the compartment 504. The drain water passage 3 of the exhaust heat exchanger 22 is provided at the inlet 501a.

Enters the compartment 504 through the small hole and reaches the opening 501c.

As described above, the drain water and the exhaust gas flow into the neutralization device 50 from the drain water passage 35 from the exhaust heat exchanger 22. Since the opening 501c of the exhaust gas return pipe 70 is formed above the surface of the drain water of the neutralizer 50, the drain water collects downward in the neutralizer 50, and the exhaust gas is separated to form the exhaust gas. From the return pipe 70, it is returned from the discharge port 521b into the mist separator 52b at the downstream portion of the exhaust silencer 52a whose pressure is lower than that of the drain water introduction portion.

Since the mist separator 52b is located downstream of the exhaust heat exchanger 22 and the pressure is reduced by the exhaust silencer 52a on the way, the exhaust heat exchanger 22 is prevented.
Pressure P1 of the exhaust mist separator 52b is higher than the pressure P2 of the mist separator 52b.
Since the internal pressure of the neutralization device 50 to which the pressure of 2 is introduced becomes higher than that in the mist separator 52b, the exhaust gas separated in the neutralization device 50 surely flows through the exhaust gas return pipe 70 toward the mist separator 52b. .

The drain water passage 38 connected to the lower part of the mist separator 52b is connected to the inlet 501b of the neutralizer 50, and the long rubber pipe 5 connected to the inlet 501b.
Since the 12 openings are provided below the surface of the drain water, when the internal pressure of the small chamber 503b of the neutralization device 50 becomes high, the surface of the drain water in the drain water passage 38 rises and balances.
That is, the drain water or the exhaust gas in the neutralization device 50 does not flow back through the drain water passage 38. Therefore,
Drain water from the mist separator 52b is neutralized by gravity 5
Lead to zero.

Since the neutralization device 50 is provided with a small chamber 510b which is guided below the surface of the drain water into the compartment 505 through the communication port 500f and further from the compartment 505 to the outlet 500h formed in the case 500, exhaust air is provided. The gas does not enter the drain water discharge passage 69.

The neutralizing agent 507 provided in the compartment 504 of the neutralizing apparatus 50 undergoes a neutralization reaction with the acid dissolved in the drain water under the surface of the drain water, and is consumed as a dissolved salt. When it is consumed, the drain water above the surface is replenished.

The neutralizer 50, the drain water passage 35 from the exhaust heat converter 22, and the drain water passage 38 from the mist separator 52b are all arranged inside the outdoor unit I, and are located in a high temperature atmosphere. .

The outlet 86a of the preliminary drain water discharge passage 86 connected to the outlet 500i of the neutralizer 50 is discharged at almost the height of the upper end of the neutralizer 50, and the drain water discharge passage 69 is at the highest position. The spare drain water discharge passage 86 is opened further upward and serves as a spare discharge passage when the drain water discharge passage 69 is clogged. When the preliminary drain water discharge passage 86 functions, the surface of the drain water in the neutralization device 50 rises, but the exhaust gas entering from the drain water passage 35 enters the compartment 504 and the compartment 505. Mist separator 5 from above via exhaust gas return pipe 70
Return to 2b.

Since the drain water passages 35, 38 and the exhaust gas return pipe 70 are separated, the exhaust gas can be surely returned. In this embodiment, the drain water passage 3
It is possible to make the cross-sectional area of 8 larger than the cross-sectional area of the drain water passage 35, but in this embodiment, the common cross-section is used to make the parts common. The sum of the cross-sectional area of the drain water passage 38 and the cross-sectional area of the exhaust gas return pipe 70 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the drain water passage 35, which also ensures the return of the exhaust gas. It Further, the exhaust gas return pipe 70 is connected to the mist separator 52b, and is connected downstream of the exhaust silencer 52a, so that the exhaust gas return effect is high. As can be seen from the above, the neutralization device 50 also serves as the gas-liquid separator referred to in the present application.

A bent portion 69c is formed at 9 and this bent portion 69c is formed at a position lower than the position of the inlet 94a. The bent portion 69c of the drain water discharge passage 69 has a function of forming a weir, and when the surface of the drain water of the case 94 becomes higher than the bent portion 69c, the drain water is discharged by that amount.

An inlet 94c is formed in the lid 95 of the neutralizer 50, and the second drain water passage 93 is connected to the inlet 94c, and drain water and exhaust gas from the mist separator 52b flow into the compartment 98a. . Second drain water passage 93
The cross-sectional area S2 of is larger than the cross-sectional area S1 of the first drain water passage 92.

Further, the mist separator 52b is located downstream of the exhaust heat exchanger 22, and the midway exhaust silencer 52a is provided.
The pressure P1 of the exhaust silencer 52a is equal to the pressure P of the mist separator 52b.
Since the internal pressure of the neutralization device 50, which is higher than 2, and the pressure of the exhaust silencer 52a is guided by the first drain water passage 92, is higher than that in the mist separator 52b,
The exhaust gas separated in the neutralizer 50 is drain water passage 9
3 reliably flows in the direction of the mist separator 52b. In this way, the second drain water passage 93 also serves as the exhaust gas return pipe 70 of the first embodiment, and no special exhaust gas return pipe is required. Note that the neutralization device 50 is also used in this embodiment.
Also serves as the gas-liquid separator of the present application. Note that the exhaust heat exchanger 22 and the exhaust silencer 52a may be displaced together downward so that both are arranged below the exhaust port of the engine 1.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a connection between a neutralizer and a gas-liquid separator.

In this embodiment, the members designated by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 6 have the same structure, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the gas-liquid separator 200 is arranged separately from the neutralizing device 50, and the gas-liquid separator 200 is
Drain water and exhaust gas from the exhaust heat exchanger 22 flow in via the drain water passage 35, drain water and exhaust gas from the exhaust silencer 52a flow in via the drain water passage 201, and drain from the mist separator 52b. Water and exhaust gas flow in via the drain water passage 38. The exhaust gas separated in the gas-liquid separator 200 flows through the exhaust gas return pipe 70 toward the mist separator 52b.

A weir 200a is provided in the gas-liquid separator 200, and the drain water overflowing the weir 200a flows into the neutralizer 50. A drain passage is formed by the partition plates 202 and 203 in the neutralization device 50, and a neutralizing agent 204 is provided between the partition plates 202 and 203. Drain water overflows from the partition plate 203 and is discharged from the drain water discharge passage 69.

In this way, the plurality of drain water passages 35, 2
01, 38 are provided, and each drain water passage 35, 201, 38
Are all opened below the surface of the drain water of the gas-liquid separator 200, and the pressure P1 of the drain water passage 35 and the drain water passage 20
1 pressure P2, drain water passage 38 and exhaust gas return pipe 7
When the pressure P3 is 0, P3 <P2 <P1 is set. Since the pressure P1 of the drain water passage 35 is higher than the pressure P3 of the exhaust gas return pipe 70, the exhaust gas is returned to the exhaust gas return pipe 70.

Further, the depth of the opening from the water surface is set according to the position of the drain water outlet from the upper end to the downstream of the exhaust passage 205 formed by the weir 200a of the gas-liquid separator 200. In this embodiment, the distance Δ between the opening of the drain water passage 35 and the opening of the drain water passage 201.

The distance ΔH2 from the opening is set to be deeper as it corresponds to the downstream of the exhaust passage 205. That is, the depth corresponding to the pressure difference,

[0059]

[Formula 1] Is set to be

As a result, the drain water passages 35, 201,
Since all the exhaust gas passing through 38 contacts the drain water,
Acid gas dissolves in drain water more efficiently and is neutralized. Further, since the gas-liquid separator 200 is arranged upstream of the neutralizer 50 to separate the exhaust gas, at least the acid dissolved in the drain water can be surely neutralized.

A gas-liquid separator may be arranged downstream of the neutralizer 50. Further, the drain water passages 201, 38 or the exhaust gas return pipe 70 corresponding to the exhaust pipe downstream side from the cross-sectional area of the drain water passage 35 corresponding to the uppermost stream of the exhaust pipe, which is the drain water in the gas-liquid separator 200. The cross-sectional area (any one cross-sectional area or the sum of a plurality of cross-sectional areas) of those that open above the water surface may be set to a large value, and the gas-liquid separation is reliably performed.

FIG. 12 is a system diagram showing a fourth embodiment of a drain water treatment apparatus for engine exhaust gas.

In this embodiment, the members designated by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 6 have the same structure, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, drain water and exhaust gas from the exhaust heat exchanger 22 flow into the neutralizer 50 through the drain water passage 300, and the separated exhaust gas from the neutralizer 50 is exhaust gas. It is returned to the first exhaust pipe 83 via the return pipe 301. That is, the outlet pressure P2 of the exhaust gas return pipe 301 is set to be lower than the inlet pressure P1 of the drain water passage 300 by using the dynamic pressure. That is, since the dynamic pressure acts on the pressure P1 at the inlet of the drain water passage 300, P1> P2, and the drain water efficiently flows into the neutralization device 50 together with the exhaust gas. This increases the degree of freedom in the installation positions of the inlet of the drain water passage 300 and the outlet of the exhaust gas return pipe 301.

FIG. 13 is a view showing a connecting portion of an outlet of an exhaust gas return pipe showing a fifth embodiment of the drain water treatment system in the engine exhaust gas. This embodiment has the same configuration as that of FIG. 12, but the outlet of the exhaust gas return pipe 301 is provided in the venturi portion 302, and the outlet pressure P2 of the exhaust gas return pipe 301 is the same as that of the inlet of the drain water passage 300. It is lower than the pressure P1. Thus, the outlet pressure P2 of the exhaust gas return pipe 301 is equal to the inlet pressure P1 of the drain water passage 300.
In order to make it lower, the pressure drop action by the venturi action was used. This increases the degree of freedom in the position of the inlet of the drain water passage 300 and the position of the outlet of the exhaust gas return pipe 301.

FIG. 14 is a cross section of a neutralization apparatus showing a fourth embodiment of the apparatus for treating drain water in engine exhaust gas.

In this embodiment, all the drain water is collected in the drain water passage 35 and the room 30 containing the neutralizing agent 301.
2 flows in from the inflow port 300a. The neutralized drain water passes through the weir wall 300d and enters the gas-liquid separation chamber 303. On the other hand, the exhaust gas that enters with the drain water through the inflow port 300a also enters the gas-liquid separation chamber 303. The exhaust gas outlet 300c is disposed above the drain water outlet 300b, the exhaust gas and drain water are separated, and the exhaust gas is returned to the low pressure portion of the exhaust passage through the exhaust gas return pipe 70.

[0068]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, even if the exhaust gas enters, the exhaust gas is separated by the gas-liquid separator and returned to the exhaust pipe. Since the gas is not discharged, it is possible to reduce the amount of the acidic gas component in the gas state dissolved in the drain water in the middle of the drain water passage to the drain water discharge port.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the drain water storage portion in which the neutralizing agent is arranged can also serve as the gas-liquid separator, and the number of parts can be reduced.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the exhaust gas entering the gas-liquid separator from the first drain water passage for introducing the drain water generated in the exhaust passage of the engine is exhausted to the exhaust passage side opening of the first drain water passage. Section enters the second drain water passage for introducing drain water generated in the exhaust passage of the low pressure portion and flows backward in the exhaust passage direction. However, since the second drain water passage has a large cross-sectional area, the second drain water passage is The second drain water passage can be used both as a return pipe for the exhaust gas after separation and as a drain water passage toward the gas-liquid separator, without draining all of the drain water that flows down. Can be reduced.
