Description

Coalescer and cryocompressor including the same The present invention relates to a collator and a cryogenic compressor including the same. Cryogenic cooling is widely used in various industrial fields. Refrigeration units that produce such cryogenic temperatures are devices capable of lowering the temperature to 0K by expanding a working fluid (such as He or other gases). To achieve these cryogenic temperatures, a cryogenic environment is created by including a compressor, condenser, expander, and evaporator. A cryogenic cooler uses a working fluid as a medium to form a cryogenic temperature by receiving the refrigerant through a compressor, and the supply line of such a cryogenic cooler is equipped with a compressor to compress and supply the refrigerant to the cryogenic cooler. The compressor for compressing and supplying refrigerant to the cryogenic cooler side requires a separation structure to remove oil from the mist mixed with the working fluid and oil and to supply helium. If impurities enter the various structures of a cryogenic cooler, there is a problem of damage caused by the impurities. Furthermore, solid crystals formed by the impurities collide with the structures, causing unpleasant noise, and due to interference with the solid crystals caused by the impurities, helium gas cannot circulate stably, leading to problems such as reduced efficiency of the cryogenic cooler. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram schematically illustrating a cryogenic compressor according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a collator according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a partition section according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a drawing of a collator according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a cross-section of a partition portion according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the movement path of a mist according to one embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, an embodiment of a collator according to the present invention and a cryogenic compressor including the same will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. It should be noted that when assigning reference numerals to the components of each drawing, the same components are assigned the same reference numeral whenever possible, even if they are shown in different drawings. Furthermore, in describing the embodiments of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known components or functions would hinder understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, such detailed description is omitted. In describing the components of the embodiments of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc., may be used. These terms are intended merely to distinguish the components from other components, and the essence, order, or sequence of the components is not limited by such terms. Furthermore, unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this application. In the present invention, the cryocompressor may be a device that compresses the refrigerant used in the cryo-refrigeration cycle of a cryocooler system to a high-pressure state. It may be a device that sucks in the refrigerant gas, which is the working fluid in the cryocooler, compresses it to a high pressure, and circulates the high-pressure gas to the cryocooler. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. The collager (100) according to FIGS. 1 to 6 may be provided in a cryogenic compressor (10) provided to supply refrigerant to a cryogenic refrigerator, or in a supply line (11) connected to the cryogenic compressor (10). A collager (100) may include an inlet (111) into which a mist mixed with gas and liquid is introduced, and an outlet (112) into which separated gas is discharged, and may be provided with a housing (110) that forms an outer shape and has an internal receiving space. In the internal receiving space of the housing (110), at least one partition (120) that partitions the receiving space to form a receiving section (113), and a separation section (130) that is received at a predetermined compression ratio in each receiving section formed by the partition (120) to separate liquid and gas from the mist may be provided. Here, the inlet section (111) is connected to a supply line that receives a mist mixed with gas and liquid fr
