Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrical equipment, and in particular relates to a method and apparatus for treating exhaust gas of a C4F7N / CO2 / O2 ternary mixed gas. Background Technology
[0002] Gas-insulated equipment using SF6, which has a strong greenhouse effect, as the insulating medium, such as gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) and gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL), are widely used in the power industry. However, the power industry's extensive use of SF6 inevitably leads to SF6 emissions and leaks, resulting in a year-on-year increase in atmospheric SF6 levels. Given the urgent need to limit SF6 emissions, the power industry urgently needs to find environmentally friendly insulating gases to replace SF6.
[0003] Currently, the C4F7N / CO2 / O2 ternary gas mixture has the potential to replace SF6 due to its excellent insulation properties, low gas power consumption (GWP), and high liquefaction temperature. Some gas-insulated equipment using C4F7N / CO2 / O2 as the medium has already been put into use. However, research shows that C4F7N has trace amounts of toxicity and cannot be directly emitted into the atmosphere. Furthermore, CO2, as a greenhouse gas, requires further treatment. Therefore, the treatment method for C4F7N / CO2 / O2 exhaust gas is of great significance for the operation and maintenance of C4F7N / CO2 / O2 gas-insulated equipment.
[0004] However, the application of C4F7N / CO2 / O2 ternary mixed gas is still in its early stages both domestically and internationally. There is no unified treatment device for C4F7N / CO2 / O2 ternary mixed gas exhaust gas, nor is a complete treatment method for it. The invention patent "Optimization Method for Compatibility of C4F7N / CO2 / O2 Ternary Mixed Gas with Metals in Equipment" (application number: CN202411622700.4) discloses gas sampling and treatment analysis after the reaction of C4F7N / CO2 / O2 ternary mixed gas, specifying that experimental sample gas should be collected every 2 hours using PVF sampling bags. However, this method only samples the experimental sample gas for detection and analysis, without mentioning how to treat the remaining experimental gas. Furthermore, the sampling bags are generally small in size and cannot be used for continuous treatment of C4F7N exhaust gas. Summary of the Invention

Obtain the mixed gas adsorption efficiency by weighting the single-gas adsorption efficiency, and then calculate the adsorbent efficiency index S. Step 5: Determine whether a backup gas adsorption device is needed to continue the exhaust gas treatment process based on the adsorbent efficiency index.

[0020] Example 1 like Figure 2 As shown, a method for treating the exhaust gas of a C4F7N / CO2 / O2 ternary mixed gas includes the following steps: S1. Based on the type of adsorbent, obtain the rated adsorption capacity and rated service life V0 and t0 of the adsorbent. S2. A ternary gas mixture of C4F7N / CO2 / O2 is introduced into the exhaust gas treatment device at a fixed gas flow rate of 1 L / min. The concentrations of C4F7N and CO2 are detected by the inlet concentration detection unit and recorded as follows: and ; S3.

[0021] S4. Determine the adsorbent's tail gas treatment time t and cumulative treatment volume V. Combine the adsorption efficiencies of C4F7N and CO2 with the gas's usage capacity and service life to calculate the adsorbent efficiency index S. The calculation formula is as follows: S= ; S5. If the adsorbent efficiency index S is lower than the failure threshold θ = 0.15, the tail gas treatment process will continue using the backup gas adsorption unit, the failed adsorbent will be unloaded, and the corresponding unit will be switched to standby; if the adsorbent efficiency index S is lower than the warning threshold θ pre =0.3, then it is necessary to complete the equipment for the backup unit to prepare new adsorbent.
[0022] S6. Repeat steps S2 to S5 until the tail gas adsorption treatment of the target C4F7N / CO2 / O2 ternary mixed gas is completed.
