A pair of downcomers convey emulsion from the top of the receiving zone to the bottom of the heating chamber, and a portion of the emulsion flowing from the downcomers is directed across a discharge passageway to flush sediment and free water from the chamber. The emulsion flows diagonally upwardly in the heating chamber past a pair of firetubes and is conveyed from the top of the chamber to the bottom of the treating section by a conduit. The operation of the firetubes is controlled by thermostats located in the upper portion of the heating chamber adjacent the inlet of the conduit.,下面是Heater-treater专利的具体信息内容。

1. A heater-treater comprising: a tank including a heating section and a treating section; means forming an enclosed heating chamber with the heating section of the tank; means for directing oil well production into the portion of the heating section of the tank outside the heating chamber; downcomer means for conveying water-oil emulsion from the upper portion of the tank to the lower portion of the heating chamber; emulsion heating means mounted within the heating chamber; conduit means for conveying emulsion from the upper portion of the heating chamber to the lower portion of the treating section of the tank so that emulsion flows upwardly in the heating chamber past the emulsion heating means; electrostatic treating means mounted within the treated section for separating emulsion into oil and water, and means for withdrawing oil from the upper portion of the treating section of the tank.
2. The heater-treater according to claim 1 further including a discharge passageway extending between the lower portion of the heating chamber and the lower portion of the tank and means for directing emulsion across the passageway and thereby flushing sediment and/or water from the heating chamber into the lower portion of the tank.
3. The heater-treater according to claim 1 further including thermostat means mounted in the upper portion of the heating chamber at the inlet of the means for conveying emulsion to the treating section for controlling the operation of the emulsion heating means.
4. The heater-treater according to claim 1 further including: means for maintaining a gas-emulsion interface at a predetermined point in the upper portion of the tank; means for withdrawing gas from the tank at a point above the gas-emulsion interface; means for maintaining an emulsion-water interface at a predetermined point in the lower portion of the tank, and means for withdrawing water from the tank at a point below the emulsion-water interface.
5. In a heater-treater of the type including a tank having separate heating and treating sections; heating apparatus extending through the heating section of the tank; structure surrounding the heating apparatus and dividing the tank into an emulsion receiving zone and an enclosed heating chamber, and electrostatic treating apparatus mounted in the treating section of the tank, the improvement comprising: a downcomer conduit for directing emulsion from the upper portion of the emulsion receiving zone of the heating section of the tank to the lower portion of the heating chamber; a passageway extending from the lower portion of the heating chamber to the lower portion of the tank; means for directing emulsion flowing from the downcomer across the passageway and thereby flowing sediment and/or water from the heating chamber into the lower portion of the tank; a conduit for directing emulsion from the upper portion of the heating chamber to the lower portion of the treating section, and thermostat means positioned in the upper portion of the heating chamber in the path of emulsion flowing into the conduit for controlling the operation of the heating apparatus.
6. The improved heater-treater according to claim 5 wherein the passageway includes an inlet, wherein the downcomer includes an outlet, and wherein the emulsion directing means includes a surface for directing emulsion flowing through the outlet of the downcomer laterally across the inlet of the passageway.
7. The improved heater-treater according to claim 6 wherein the structure surrounding the heating apparatus and dividing the heating sEction into an emulsion receiving zone and a heating chamber comprises a cylinder extending longitudinally through the mid-portion of the heating section of the tank, wherein the inlet of the passageway is formed in the lowermost portion of the cylinder, wherein the outlet of the downcomer is located adjacent the lowermost portion of the cylinder, and wherein the emulsion directing surface comprises the interior of the cylinder.
8. A heater-treater comprising: a tank including a heating section; means separating the heating section of the tank into an upper emulsion receiving zone and a lower enclosed heating chamber; downcomer conduit means for directing emulsion downwardly from the emulsion receiving zone to the lower portion of the heating chamber; emulsion heating means mounted in the heating chamber; conduit means including an inlet located in the upper portion of the heating chamber for directing emulsion out of the heating chamber, and thermostat means mounted in the upper portion of the heating chamber at the inlet of the conduit means for controlling the operation of the emulsion heating means.
9. The heater-treater according to claim 8 wherein the emulsion heating means comprises at least one firetube extending through the heating chamber.
10. The heater-treater according to claim 8 wherein the downcomer conduit means includes an outlet located at one end of the heating chamber and wherein the inlet of the conduit means is located at the opposite end of the heating chamber so that emulsion flows diagonally upwardly through the heating chamber.
11. The heater-treater according to claim 8 further including a discharge passageway extending to the lower portion of the tank and having an inlet tube located in the lower portion of the heating chamber, and means for directing emulsion across the inlet of the passageway and thereby flushing sediment and/or water from the heating chamber into the lower portion of the tank.
12. A heater-treater comprising: a tank including a heating section; means forming an enclosed heating chamber within the heating section of the tank; a downcomer conduit for conveying emulsion from the upper portion of the tank to the lower portion of the heating chamber; a passageway for conveying sediment and/or free water from the lower portion of the heating chamber to the lower portion of the tank, and means for directing emulsion from the downcomer across the passageway and thereby flushing sediment and/or water from the heating chamber.
13. The heater-treater according to claim 12 wherein the heating chamber forming means includes a cylinder mounted within the heating section of the tank, wherein the passageway includes an inlet formed in the cylinder, and wherein the emulsion directing means directs emulsion flowing from the downcomer laterally across the inlet.
14. The heater-treater according to claim 13 wherein the downcomer terminates in an outlet and wherein the emulsion directing means directs emulsion flowing from the outlet aperture across the inlet.
15. The heater-treater according to claim 14 wherein the outlet is located at a point adjacent the cylinder and laterally displaced from the inlet, and wherein the emulsion directing means comprises a portion of the cylinder which directs at least a portion of the emulsion flowing from the outlet across the inlet.
