Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to synthetic ammonia production safety monitoring technical field especially relates to a hydrogen medium pipeline flange hydrogen leakage sensitive detection device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the synthetic ammonia industry, hydrogen as the core raw material is transported to the synthesis tower, compressor and other key equipment through the pipeline, after long time use, the pipeline flange connection part is easy to leak hydrogen due to vibration, aging or installation deviation and other factors. The density of hydrogen is only 1 / 14 of air, after leakage, it diffuses upward rapidly, which makes the traditional single-point detector difficult to effectively capture the leakage gas and accurately detect in the open environment, so that the hydrogen leakage of the flange cannot be found in time and timely warning is not provided for the operating personnel, and the safety production is not guaranteed. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the low hydrogen leakage detection efficiency and insufficient sensitivity in the prior art, the utility model provides a device for realizing accurate detection of leaked hydrogen through structure optimization, which ensures early detection and safety warning of the flange connection part.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a hydrogen medium pipeline flange hydrogen leakage sensitive detection device, which comprises a sharp-top gas collecting hood, a hydrogen detection sensor, a discharge pipeline and a control system. The sharp-top gas collecting hood is in the shape of an inverted truncated cone and is arranged directly above the pipeline flange to be monitored. The bottom surface has an opening size covering the pipeline flange area to be monitored. The hydrogen detection sensor is installed at the top end of the sharp-top gas collecting hood. The discharge pipeline is arranged at the top of the gas collecting hood and is in communication with the side of the top end of the gas collecting hood at one end and extends to the outdoor at the other end. The control system is connected to the hydrogen detection sensor through a cable and is used for receiving the hydrogen detection sensor signal in real time, presetting the hydrogen concentration alarm threshold and triggering the warning signal when the threshold is exceeded.
[0005] Further, the sharp-top gas collecting hood is installed at a position 200mm above the hydrogen medium pipeline flange by a buckle fixing piece and can be quickly disassembled during maintenance.
[0006] Further, the outlet of the discharge pipeline extends to the outdoor and is provided with a rainproof cap.
[0007] When hydrogen leakage occurs in the pipeline flange, the low-density hydrogen migrates upward under the action of buoyancy and is guided and gathered to the top end of the hood body by the inverted truncated cone structure of the sharp-top gas collecting hood. The hydrogen detection sensor detects the gathered high-concentration gas in real time, and the gas is discharged to the outdoor safely after detection to avoid local accumulation. The control system displays the concentration data in real time and immediately issues a warning when the detection value exceeds the threshold, prompting the operating personnel to check the leakage point.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0009] 1. The pointed structure optimizes gas collection efficiency, solves the problem of difficult collection of leaked gas in open environments, and guides diffused hydrogen to the top to collect, increasing the gas concentration in the sensor detection area by 3-5 times and significantly improving detection sensitivity.
[0010] 2. The emission pipeline design avoids localized hydrogen accumulation, ensuring safety and reliability;
[0011] 3. The detection device has a simple overall structure, low installation space requirements, low operation and maintenance costs, and is easy to maintain.
[0012] 4. The control system supports 4-20mA signal output and RS485 communication to realize multi-terminal alarm and real-time early warning. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0016] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification. Example
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a pointed gas collection hood (1) is installed 200 mm directly above the flange (5) of the hydrogen-containing medium pipeline using a snap-fit bracket (7) to ensure that the hood completely covers the area above the flange. A hydrogen detection sensor (2) is installed on the top of the gas collection hood and connected to the control system (4) via a cable. An exhaust pipeline (3) is connected to the top of the gas collection hood, with the pipeline outlet extending to a well-ventilated outdoor area and fitted with a rain cap (8).
[0018] When a flange leaks, hydrogen gas accumulates along the inner wall of the enclosure towards the top. Sensors detect this in real time and transmit signals to the control system. When the detected hydrogen concentration exceeds a preset threshold, the control system immediately issues an alarm and sends the leak location and concentration data to the central control room. The detected gas is discharged through the exhaust pipeline to prevent it from remaining inside the enclosure.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
