AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing natural gas drag-reducing agents have poor adhesion after atomization, and the film is prone to falling off, leading to pipeline blockage. Furthermore, existing devices have failed to effectively evaluate the drag-reducing effect.

Method used

Design a natural gas drag-reducing agent atomization injection indoor circulation system, including a shell, a conical jet cylinder, a gas-liquid mixing chamber and a throttling orifice plate. The drag-reducing agent is uniformly attached through atomization and magnetic field action, and the drag-reducing efficiency is evaluated by combining pressure difference and flow rate changes.

Benefits of technology

It improves the adhesion of drag-reducing agents in pipelines, reduces resistance and friction, extends the life of pipeline equipment, lowers maintenance costs, and enables accurate evaluation of drag-reduction effects.
