Abstract
A novel method for compressing mixed gas consisting of combustible gas and air without risk of explosion of the mixed gas is described herein. In the novel method, the mixed gas is compressed under coexistence of non-combustible liquid such as water. In one preferred embodiment, a water-sealed compressor as represented by a Nash pump is used for compressing the mixed gas, and water contained in the compressed mixed gas is separated and fed back to the water-sealed compressor to assure existence of sealing water in the compressor.
Claims5
A method for compressing mixed gas consisting of combustible gas and air, comprising:
- injecting water into said mixed gas,
- introducing said mixture of mixed gas and water into a water-sealed compressor,
- injecting water into said water-sealed compressor, and
- compressing said mixed gas/water mixture, whereby risk of explosion is reduced.
