Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of hydrogen-doped natural gas equipment, and particularly relates to a hydrogen-doped natural gas pipeline stratification experimental device and a stratification experimental method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hydrogen energy transportation is an important part of the hydrogen energy industry chain. Hydrogen is added to natural gas to form hydrogen-doped natural gas, which is then transported through a natural gas pipeline. This is considered a safe, economical and efficient way to transport hydrogen. Due to the large difference in density between hydrogen and natural gas, when the pipeline inevitably stops or the gas flow rate in the pipeline is low, the hydrogen and natural gas in the pipeline will stratify due to the large density difference between hydrogen and natural gas, with high-concentration hydrogen at the top of the pipeline and natural gas accumulating at the bottom of the pipeline. Stratification of hydrogen-doped natural gas pipelines can cause local hydrogen concentration to be too high, seriously affecting the combustion stability of hydrogen-doped natural gas and the gas safety of end users.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to reveal the internal mechanism of stratification of hydrogen-doped natural gas pipelines under low-speed flow and shutdown conditions. Currently, there is little experimental research on the stratification phenomenon of hydrogen-doped natural gas pipelines. There are only simple experiments on the stratification of hydrogen-doped natural gas in vertical pipes. In engineering practice, the components and piping of hydrogen-doped natural gas pipelines are complex and variable, including horizontal pipes, inclined pipes, vertical pipes, and connecting pieces such as bends and valves at different angles, and the pipeline pressure, hydrogen-doping ratio, shutdown time and other parameters are also complex and variable, which will have a significant impact on the stratification of hydrogen-doped natural gas pipelines. However, there is currently no experimental device that can simultaneously study the stratification mechanism of complex hydrogen-doped natural gas pipelines under static and flow conditions.
