Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogen blending in natural gas, and in particular to a natural gas hydrogen blending ratio regulating device. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of energy transition, blending hydrogen into natural gas pipelines in a certain proportion for transportation and utilization is an important technological path to improve the absorption capacity of renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions. Different application scenarios, such as industrial combustion, residential gas, and gas turbines, have different requirements for the proportion of hydrogen blending, and the proportion needs to be flexibly adjusted according to the gas source, load, and other conditions.
[0003] Existing natural gas hydrogen blending proportioning devices mostly use fixed mixing channels. When the total flow rate or inlet pressure required by the system changes significantly, the fixed mixing channel structure is difficult to adapt to all operating conditions. Under low flow conditions, a large mixing channel will result in excessively low gas flow velocity and poor mixing efficiency. Under high flow conditions, a fixed channel may cause excessive flow resistance, significant pressure loss, or insufficient mixing due to excessively high flow velocity. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new natural gas hydrogen blending proportioning device to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0015] In specific implementation, a natural gas hydrogen blending ratio regulating device has the following structure: Figure 1 — Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a mounting frame 1, which supports and secures all pipes and components to ensure structural stability. A natural gas inlet pipe 2 and a hydrogen inlet pipe 3 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1. A hydrogen flow meter 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the hydrogen inlet pipe 3. The natural gas inlet pipe 2 and the hydrogen inlet pipe 3 respectively transport natural gas and hydrogen from the upstream pipeline network or gas source. A hydrogen regulating valve 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the hydrogen flow meter 4 away from the hydrogen inlet pipe 3. A natural gas flow meter 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the natural gas inlet pipe 2. A natural gas regulating valve 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the natural gas flow meter 6 away from the natural gas inlet pipe 2. The hydrogen regulating valve 5 and the natural gas regulating valve 7 precisely adjust the inlet flow rates of hydrogen and natural gas based on the data provided by the hydrogen flow meter 4 and the natural gas flow meter 6, achieving precise blending ratio control. In this embodiment, the hydrogen flow meter is a RHM06L high-pressure hydrogen mass flow meter manufactured by RHEONIK in Germany, with a standard range of 0.15 ~ 20 kg / min. The system features high-precision measurement and stable performance. The natural gas flow meter selected is the XD-LUX intelligent natural gas flow meter manufactured by Jiangsu Xianda Instrument Co., Ltd. This flow meter boasts a wide flow range, simple operation and maintenance, and convenient installation and use. The hydrogen regulating valve selected is the HDH high-pressure hydrogen regulating valve manufactured by Chongqing Haiwang Instrument Co., Ltd. Its material selection, referencing Nelson curves and operating conditions, can prevent hydrogen embrittlement or hydrogen erosion. The natural gas regulating valve selected is the RTZ-32 gas pressure regulating valve manufactured by Shanghai Qiaoyi Valve Manufacturing Co., Ltd. This regulating valve has an inlet pressure of 0.02~0.4Mpa and an outlet pressure of 1~30Kpa, offering large flow capacity and high pressure regulation accuracy.
[0016] A connecting section 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the natural gas intake pipe 2. The end of the connecting section 8 away from the natural gas intake pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the hydrogen intake pipe 3. The connecting section 8 is the pipe section where natural gas and hydrogen initially merge. An adjusting component 9 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting section 8. The adjusting component 9 includes a threaded sleeve 901, which provides threaded engagement and support for the adjusting screw 902. The threaded sleeve 901 is located on the outer wall of the connecting section 8. The adjusting screw 902 is threadedly connected to the inner thread of the threaded sleeve 901. One end of the adjusting screw 902 extends into the connecting section 8. One end of the screw 902 is fixedly connected to a conical block 903. The adjusting screw 902 can be precisely moved axially by rotation, thereby pushing the conical block 903 to change its position. The change in the axial position of the conical block 903 directly changes the cross-sectional area of the flow channel inside the connecting section 8 to adapt to different working conditions and ensure mixing efficiency. The top of the threaded sleeve 901 is provided with a sealing ring made of a polymer material with excellent hydrogen compatibility, such as perfluoroether rubber or hydrogenated nitrile rubber, so that the device has good airtightness when it starts working after adjustment. The end of the adjusting screw 902 located outside the connecting section 8 is fixedly connected to a rotating handle 904.
[0017] A mixing chamber 10 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting section 8. The mixing chamber 10 provides a space for the full and final mixing of gases. A drive chamber 11 and a mixed gas discharge pipe 12 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mixing chamber 10. Two sliding rails 1101 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drive chamber 11. Each of the two sliding rails 1101 is provided with a sliding seat 1102. A motor 1103 is fixedly connected between the two sliding seats 1102. The sliding track 1101 and the sliding seat 1102 together form a sliding pair, allowing the motor 1103 to move axially synchronously with the adjusting component 9, while ensuring the stable operation of the motor 1103. The output end of the motor 1103 extends into the mixing chamber 10. A rotating rod 1001 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the conical block 903. The end of the rotating rod 1001 away from the conical block 903 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1103. Multiple flow-disrupting elements 1002 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 1001. The motor 1103 drives the rotating rod 1001 and the flow-disrupting elements 1002 to rotate at high speed, which is the core power source for active mixing. The multiple flow-disrupting elements 1002 are spiral guide vanes. When rotating at high speed, they generate strong shearing and turbulence effects on the gas, forcing the gas to be fully mixed and ensuring the uniformity of hydrogen doping. Finally, the fully mixed hydrogen-doped natural gas is transported to the downstream pipeline network or user end through the mixed gas discharge pipe 12.
[0018] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Hydrogen and natural gas enter the system through their respective inlet pipes. The inlet ratio is precisely controlled by the hydrogen regulating valve 5, the natural gas regulating valve 7, and the matching flow meter. The two airflows converge in the connecting section 8. The operator can drive the adjusting screw 902 by rotating the rotating handle 904, thereby controlling the axial position of the conical block 903 in the connecting section 8 and dynamically changing the effective cross-sectional area of the mixing channel. Under high flow conditions, the conical block 903 is raised to expand the flow channel and reduce flow resistance and pressure loss. Under low flow conditions, the conical block 903 is lowered to contract the flow channel and increase the flow velocity. Subsequently, the premixed gas enters the mixing chamber 10, and the rotating rod 1001 is driven by the motor 1103 to rotate at high speed, causing the spiral guide vanes on it to generate strong shearing and turbulence, so that the hydrogen and natural gas are fully and uniformly mixed. Finally, the hydrogen-blended natural gas with precise ratio and uniform mixing is output from the mixed gas discharge pipe 12 to meet the needs of different downstream application scenarios.
[0019] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
