Gas cooler
A gas cooler effectively prevents or suppresses an outflow of drain water to the outside. The gas cooler includes a casing, a cooling unit, a seal plate, a lead-in port, a lead-out port, and a drain scattering prevention member. The cooling unit is accommodated within the casing and cools gas. The seal plate is provided in the cooling unit and partitions an inside of the casing into an upper space thorough which the gas before passing through the cooling unit flows and a bottom space through which the gas after passing through the cooling unit flows. The gas is led from the lead-in port into the upper space, and the gas is led out of the bottom space via the lead-out port. The drain scattering prevention member is disposed in the bottom space, and collects the drain water, while allowing the gas to pass therethrough.
1. A gas cooler comprising:
a casing;
a cooling unit ( 13 A) provided within the casing ( 3 ), wherein the cooling unit is fluidly connected to an inflow port ( 23 A) and an outflow port ( 24 B) such that cooling water is supplied from the inflow port ( 23 A), passes through the cooling unit ( 13 A) and flows out from the outflow port ( 24 B) to cool gas;
an upper space located above the cooling unit and a bottom space located below the cooling unit, the upper space and the bottom space being formed separately from each other by the cooling unit within the casing;
a lead-in port for leading the gas into the upper space;
a lead-out port, provided in the bottom space, for leading out the gas from the bottom space;
a drain scattering prevention member disposed in the bottom space and being configured to collect therein drain water accompanied by the gas as the gas passes, the drain water being produced by condensation of moisture contained in the gas by cooling with the cooling unit; and
a drain discharge port for discharging the drain water to an outside of the casing, wherein
the drain scattering prevention member is provided to cover the lead-out port;
the cooling unit extends between opposing end walls of the casing, and a seal portion extends between the opposing end walls and engages the casing and the cooling unit to partition the upper space and the bottom space; and
the gas flows through the upper space, then passes through the cooling unit, and then flows through the bottom space.
2. The gas cooler according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling unit includes a seal plate for sealing a space between the upper space and the bottom space.
3. The gas cooler according to claim 2 , wherein the drain scattering prevention member is a block body made of metal wool.
4. The gas cooler according to claim 2 , wherein the drain scattering prevention member is a stacked body of metal meshes.
5. The gas cooler according to claim 1 , wherein the drain scattering prevention member is laid at a bottom wall of the casing.
6. The gas cooler according to claim 5 , wherein the drain scattering prevention member is a block body made of metal wool.
7. The gas cooler according to claim 5 , wherein the drain scattering prevention member is a stacked body of metal meshes.
8. The gas cooler according to claim 1 wherein the drain scattering prevention member is a block body made of metal wool.
9. The gas cooler according to claim 1 , wherein the drain scattering prevention member is a stacked body of metal meshes.
10. A gas cooler comprising:
a casing;
a cooling unit ( 13 A) provided within the casing ( 3 ), wherein the cooling unit is fluidly connected to an inflow port ( 23 A) and an outflow port ( 24 B) such that cooling water is supplied from the inflow port ( 23 A), passes through the cooling unit ( 13 A) and flows out from the outflow port ( 24 B) to cool gas;
an upper space located above the cooling unit and a bottom space located below the cooling unit, the upper space and the bottom space being formed separately from each other by the cooling unit within the casing;
a lead-in port for leading the gas into the upper space;
a lead-out port, provided in the bottom space, for leading out the gas from the bottom space; and
a drain scattering prevention member disposed in the bottom space to cover the lead-out port and being configured to collect therein drain water accompanied by the gas as the gas passes, the drain water being produced by condensation of moisture contained in the gas by cooling with the cooling unit; and
a discharge port for discharging the drain water from the bottom space to an outside of the casing, wherein
the lead-out port is arranged on an upper side with respect to the discharge port,
the drain scattering prevention member is arranged on a bottom wall of the casing such as to prevent the drain water from being blown up to be scattered by a gas flow blown toward a bottom wall of the casing;
the cooling unit extends between opposing end walls of the casing, and a seal portion extends between the opposing end walls and engages the casing and the cooling unit to partition the upper space and the bottom space; and
the gas flows through the upper space, then passes through the cooling unit, and then flows through the bottom space.
