Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of safety valve leakage monitoring, and in particular to an online monitoring device and method for slight leakage of a safety valve. Background Art
[0002] Hydrogen energy has attracted wide attention due to its advantages such as high energy efficiency, wide sources and no pollution. However, while hydrogen energy has advantages such as easy availability and zero carbon emissions, it also has many major disadvantages that are not conducive to storage and transportation, such as wide flammable range, low ignition energy, and difficulty in liquefaction. With the gradual maturity of high-pressure hydrogen storage technology, high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage is currently the most widely used hydrogen energy storage method due to its high technical maturity and fast charging and discharging speed. The large-scale use of hydrogen energy meets my country's requirements for diversified reform of the energy supply side and the goal of building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. Hydrogen has the characteristics of wide combustion range and low ignition energy, and is prone to fire or explosion accidents, especially in the storage and transportation stage of high-pressure hydrogen, and its more uncertain factors make it very easy to cause serious accidents. As an overpressure protection device for equipment or pipelines, safety valves are widely used in hydrogen energy storage and transportation systems, playing an important role in protecting personnel safety and normal production operation. During the operation of the hydrogen storage system, the safety valve can reliably open and release pressure when the internal pressure exceeds the set pressure, and automatically close when the internal pressure is lower than the set pressure. The sealing performance of a valve refers to the ability of each sealing part in the valve to prevent the leakage of the medium, and is one of the most important technical performance indicators of the valve. However, in actual industrial equipment applications, nearly 20% of valves have leakage problems, which can be roughly divided into the following two types of leakage: (1) When the internal pressure of the equipment is close to the set pressure, the force on the sealing surface of the safety valve decreases, resulting in gas leakage; (2) The sealing surface is worn and damaged by foreign objects during use, resulting in failure and leakage of the sealing surface. According to statistics, in the petrochemical industry, nearly 40% of explosion accidents are caused by valve leakage; and in the medium transmission equipment in the petrochemical industry, the uncontrolled release of volatile organic compounds caused by valve leakage reaches 60%.
[0003] At present, the valve leakage detection methods include: negative pressure wave detection method, bubble method, ultrasonic leak detection method, infrared temperature measurement method, and acoustic emission detection. Negative pressure wave detection has weak anti-interference ability and is easily affected by pressure fluctuations. It has insufficient detection ability when the leakage rate is small. The bubble method uses the human eye as an observation tool to record the number of leaking bubbles, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to introduce errors. In addition, for weak leaks, the use of the bubble method is more time-consuming. Ultrasonic detection technology is applicable to the situation where gas flows through the leak hole to form a turbulent field, and as an active detection method, it is not suitable for real-time detection. Acoustic emission leak detection is a dynamic non-destructive test that is currently used more frequently. It can monitor the entire object being tested online, but due to the high noise in the working environment, the results of acoustic emission leak detection technology are greatly affected by noise. At present, most detection technologies require the support of professionals and professional equipment, and the detection range is small, the time required is long, the detection accuracy is relatively low, and some will cause damage to the valve, so they cannot meet the needs of on-site detection of small valve leaks. Summary of the invention

[0032]
[0033] Where r is the average radius of the rotor blade, α is the angle between the rotor blade and the axis, c is a constant, and A is the flow cross-sectional area of the rotor;
[0034] Then the gas flow rate q 2流 for:
[0035]
[0036] According to the above formula, the induced electromotive force ψ(ω) generated by the first coil is transmitted to the electronic control device to obtain the flow rate through the float flowmeter.

The rotor 22 and the deflector 21 are connected to the shaft 23 through the bearing 24, and the sleeve 28 plays a positioning role.

The connecting plate 58 is welded to the detection device housing 12. The pipe back cover 56 is connected to the connecting plate 58 through the connecting shaft 59. The pipe back cover 56 can rotate around the connecting shaft 59 to realize the opening and closing of the detection device.
[0064] An online monitoring method for a safety valve minor leakage includes a safety valve minor leakage flow detection method, a variable magnetic resistance flow detection and power generation method, and a rear cover automatic opening and closing method. The control principle diagram of the electronic control device is as follows: Figure 7 shown.
[0065] The principle of the method for detecting the leakage of a hydrogen storage safety valve is as follows: Under normal circumstances, the rear cover 56 of the pipeline is closed. The gas enters the test pipeline from the conversion joint 11, and drives the rotor 22 to rotate at an angular velocity ω through the flow guide of the leaf 27. At the same time, it enters the float flowmeter 4 through the threaded through hole 14 on the detection device housing 12. Under the action of the gas, the float 44 moves upward. When the flow is stable, the float 44 hovers at a certain place. Assume that the displacement at this time is x. The force on the float 44 is as follows:
[0066] mg=Δp·A
[0067] Wherein, m is the mass of the float 44, Δp is the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the float 44, and A is the projected area of the float 44 along the displacement direction;
[0068] From the orifice flow formula:
[0069]
[0070] Among them, C d is the flow coefficient, ρ is the gas density;
[0071] A 0 A is the gas flow area 0 =f(x) is a function of displacement x. Since the float flowmeter 4 measures a small flow rate, the float 44 is small in size, and A 0 Take the flow area at the center of gravity of the float 44;
[0072] The gas flow rate q 1流 The formula is:
[0073]
[0074] The displacement x of the float is obtained by the displacement sensor 43 and transmitted to the electronic control device 3, so that the flow rate passing through the float flowmeter can be obtained.
[0075] The principle of the variable reluctance flow detection and power generation method is as follows: the gas drives the rotor 22 to rotate at an angular velocity ω, and the first coil 26 is wound around the magnet 25. The rotation of the rotor 22 changes the air gap of the magnetic circuit, causing the magnetic resistance in the magnetic circuit to change, while the magnetic potential of the entire magnetic field is constant, changing the magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit, so that the coil generates an induced electromotive force E=ψ(ω). Therefore, by obtaining the frequency of the induced electromotive force E through the frequency module 34 of the electronic control device 3, the current rotor 22 speed ω=ψ -1 (E).
[0076] Rotor angular velocity ω and flow rate q 2 There are the following relationships:
[0077]
[0078] Among them, r is the average radius of the blades of the rotor 22, α is the angle between the blades of the rotor 22 and the axis, c is a constant, and A is the flow cross-sectional area of the rotor 22.
[0079] Then the gas flow rate q 2流 for:
[0080]
[0081] However, it should be noted that due to the uneven rotor speed, the frequency and size of the induced electromotive force are unstable. Therefore, a rectifier module 35 is added to the electronic control device 3 to convert this uneven and weak induced electromotive force E into a stable voltage signal, which is stored in the energy storage module 38 to provide electrical energy for the entire detection device. This flow measurement method is suitable for larger flow rates, because the flow rate is small when leaking and the rotor 22 does not rotate. When there is a small leak, the small flow rate generated is measured by the float flowmeter 4; through the above method, classification detection of different flow sizes is achieved.
[0082] The principle of the automatic opening and closing method of the rear cover is as follows: Under normal circumstances, the pipeline rear cover 56 is closed, the slider 51 is located in the hole 45 of the second housing 42 of the float flowmeter, and the front end of the slider 51 is connected to the inner surface of the float flowmeter housing 42 through a hook structure. One end of the first spring 53 is fixed to the guide rail rear cover 54, and the other end is fixed to the rear end of the slider 51. At this time, the first spring 53 is in a stretched state, one end of the second spring 57 is connected to the ear on the slider 51, and the other end is connected to the ear on the pipeline rear cover 56. The pipeline rear cover 54 is subjected to the tension of the second spring 57 and fits tightly to the detection device housing 12 to play a sealing role. Figure 8 As shown in (a) in Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, when the flow rate increases slowly, the float rises and the flow rate increases to the critical discharge flow rate Q s When the float 44 is in contact with the hook-shaped structure at the front end of the slider 51, the connection between the slider 51 and the inner surface of the second housing 42 is disconnected, triggering the rebound mechanism. Under the action of the restoring force of the first spring 53, the slider 51 moves to the right, driving the second spring 57 to move, and the pipeline rear cover 56 opens. Figure 8 As shown in (b) in the figure. When the safety valve is released, the flow rate drops to the critical release flow rate Q s , the pipe rear cover 56 needs to be closed, at this time the electric control device 3 sends an electrical signal to the terminal 510 on the guide rail rear cover 54, the second coil 511 is energized, and a magnetic field is generated; the slider 51 moves away from the guide rail rear cover 56 under the action of the magnetic force, pulling the first spring 53 and the second spring 57, and the pipe rear cover 56 slowly closes; when the front end of the slider 51 is reconnected with the inner surface of the second housing 42, it returns to the initial state. The whole process does not require human intervention, and the corresponding action is generated by the device itself, realizing automatic detection of flow size.
[0083] In this way, the classification and automatic detection of the flow rates of the hydrogen storage safety valve in two states, leakage and discharge, can be achieved, and power generation and storage of electrical energy can be achieved during operation.
