Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of synchronous cooling device technology, and more specifically to a cryogenic cooling component for a high-pressure CO2 pipeline system. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon dioxide is a carbon oxide with the chemical formula CO2 and a molecular weight of 44.0095. At room temperature and pressure, it is a colorless and odorless gas, or colorless and odorless, although its aqueous solution has a slightly acidic taste. It is a common greenhouse gas and a component of air (comprising 0.03%-0.04% of the total atmospheric volume). Physically, carbon dioxide has a melting point of -56.6℃ (527 kPa), a boiling point of -78.5℃, and a density greater than air (under standard conditions). It is soluble in water. Chemically, carbon dioxide is inert, has high thermal stability (only 1.8% decomposes at 2000℃), is non-flammable, and generally does not support combustion.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0032] Example 1
[0033] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this invention provides a cryogenic cooling component for a high-pressure CO2 pipeline system, including a universal connector 1 and a medium pipeline 11. A cryogenic cooling mechanism is provided at the end of the universal connector 1. The cryogenic cooling mechanism includes a jacket body 8, and a jacket fixing component 81 is provided on the outer wall of the jacket body 8. Four sets of jacket fixing components 81 are provided. Two jacket bodies 8 are detachably connected via the jacket fixing components 81. Spiral fins 82 are welded into the inner cavity of the jacket fixing component 81. A branch connecting pipe fitting 83 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the jacket body 8. A recovery valve 84 is fixedly connected to the middle of the branch connecting pipe fitting 83. A recovery mechanism 9 is provided at the end of the branch connecting pipe fitting 83 away from the jacket body 8. The recovery mechanism 9 includes a filtration unit and an emptying recovery unit. For cooling large-diameter pressure vessels, the jacket body 8 can be a two-sided jacket type. For small-diameter pipelines, the jacket body 8 can use independent jacket cooling, which is convenient for users. The two-sided jacket body 8 can be connected using a magnetic or snap-fit method.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] like Figure 1-7As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, the low-temperature cooling mechanism further includes a straight connecting pipe 2, which is fixedly connected to the end of the universal connector 1. A valve 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the straight connecting pipe 2. A buffer tank 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the straight connecting pipe 2 away from the universal connector 1. A thermostat 5 is provided on the outer surface of the buffer tank 4. A branch connecting pipe fitting 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the buffer tank 4. A heating belt is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the buffer tank 4. A valve 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the branch connecting pipe fitting 6. The end of the branch connecting pipe fitting 6 away from the buffer tank 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the jacket body 8. The outer wall of the medium pipeline 11 is movably connected to the inner wall of the jacket body 8. The specific structure of 8 can be set as a double-jacketed type or an independent jacketed type. The CO2 gas source comes from a gas cylinder or a high-pressure system. The gas source is connected to the universal connector 1 and connected to this component. The high-pressure CO2 first flows into the buffer tank 4, and then is depressurized and released from the buffer tank 4 into the jacket body 8. The CO2 depressurization and expansion absorbs a large amount of heat to generate a high-pressure dry ice mixed with CO2 gas jet. Under the turbulence of the spiral fins 82, the cooling heat exchange is enhanced, so that the pressure vessel or other equipment and pipelines that need to be cooled are quickly cooled and liquefied. The CO2 is quickly emptied or recovered through the branch connection fitting 83 and the recovery valve 84. The heating belt set on the buffer tank 4 can heat and pressurize the CO2 in the buffer tank 4. The CO2 is released under high temperature and high pressure thermodynamic conditions, which can enhance the cooling effect.

[0037] like Figure 1-7As shown, based on Embodiment 2, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, the filtration unit includes a hollow frame 91, a support bracket 92 welded to the bottom of the hollow frame 91, a movable disc 93 detachably connected to the bottom of the hollow frame 91, a movable cover 911 movably connected to the top of the hollow frame 91, an internally threaded connecting pipe 916 fixedly connected to the center of the top of the movable cover 911, and a branch connecting pipe 83 with one end threadedly connected to the top of the internally threaded connecting pipe 916 away from the jacket body 8. The hollow frame 91 and the movable cover... A first welding block 912 is welded to the outer wall of the hollow frame 91 and the movable cover 911. An electric telescopic rod 913 is fixedly installed on the top of the first welding block 912 located at the bottom. The moving end of the electric telescopic rod 913 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first welding block 912 located at the top. A second welding block 914 is welded to the outer wall of the hollow frame 91 and the movable cover 911. A smooth rod 915 is welded to the top of the second welding block 914 located at the bottom. The outer wall of the smooth rod 915 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second welding block 914 located at the top. The movable cover 911... A sealing rubber ring 917 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hollow frame 91. The outer wall of the sealing rubber ring 917 is movably connected to the inner wall of the hollow frame 91. A composite fiber filter 918 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hollow frame 91. The design of the internal threaded connecting pipe 916 facilitates the user's connection to the end of the branch connecting pipe fitting 83. The branch connecting pipe fitting 83 is pre-connected to the internal threaded connecting pipe 916. The CO2 discharged from the branch connecting pipe fitting 83 will flow through the inner cavity of the hollow frame 91. Through the design of the composite fiber filter 918, the CO2 is filtered. The CO2 filtration process avoids the problem of impurities inside the CO2 affecting its performance. The user can control the electric telescopic rod 913 to extend it. The movable cover 911 is moved upward by the transmission of the first welding block 912, which facilitates the cleaning of the composite fiber filter screen 918 by the staff. The design of the sealing rubber ring 917 can seal the connection between the movable cover 911 and the hollow frame 91. The design of the second welding block 914 and the smooth rod 915 improves the stability of the movable cover 911 when it moves vertically.
[0038] Example 4
[0039] like Figure 1-7As shown, based on Embodiment 3, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, the venting and recovery unit includes a movable disc 93, a manual valve pipe 931 fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable disc 93, a recovery cylinder 932 fixedly connected to the bottom of the manual valve pipe 931, a sealing sliding plate 933 slidably connected to the inner wall of the recovery cylinder 932, and a connecting nozzle 934 fixedly connected to the bottom of the recovery cylinder 932. The manual valve pipe 931 is pre-opened, and then gas is supplied into the recovery cylinder 932 from the connecting nozzle 934 using an external inflation device. The gas will push the sealing sliding plate 933 to slide in the inner cavity of the recovery cylinder 932, thereby venting the original gas in the inner cavity of the recovery cylinder 932. Then, the user can connect the movable disc 93 to the bottom of the hollow frame 91. When the recovery cylinder 932 recovers CO2, the sealing sliding plate 933 will slowly move down, thus realizing the function of venting and recovering air.
[0040] The working principle of the cryogenic cooling component of this high-pressure CO2 pipeline system will be explained in detail below.
[0041] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the CO2 gas source comes from a gas cylinder or high-pressure system. The gas source is connected to the universal connector 1 and then into this component. The high-pressure CO2 first flows into the buffer tank 4, and then is depressurized and released from the buffer tank 4 into the jacket body 8. The CO2 expands under depressurization and absorbs a large amount of heat to generate a high-pressure dry ice mixed with CO2 gas jet. Under the turbulence of the spiral fins 82, the cooling and heat exchange are enhanced, so that the pressure vessel or other equipment and pipelines that need to be cooled can be quickly cooled and liquefied. The CO2 is quickly vented or recovered through the branch connection fitting 83 and the recovery valve 84.
[0042] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
