The present invention discloses a device for testing the migration law of hydrates and
sulfur particles in a throttling process pipeline, and belongs to the technical field of
natural gas hydrate testing. The device includes a
natural gas filling
system, a
sulfur particle filling
system, a water filling
system, a
hydrate preparation system, a gas-liquid-
solid phase separation and transportation system, a water bath
temperature control system, a transparent testing system, a separation circulation system, a particle tracing image velocimetry system, and a
recovery unit. The device uses
pressure difference boosting and screw feeding to achieve precise filling of
sulfur particles in a pressurized pipeline; a two-stage throttling
process design is used to simulate the rapid migration of hydrates and sulfur particles in the upstream and downstream pipelines of a multi-stage throttling valve; and a particle tracing image velocimetry system can be used to test the size morphology, migration trajectory, particle
axial displacement speed, and deposition speed of hydrates and sulfur particles and their agglomerates. The device not only supports one-time passing test and circulating flow test of a mixture of hydrates and sulfur particles, but also supports the migration law test of
hydrate particles dominated by water or gas.
