Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of noise elimination of pressure vessels, and particularly relates to a pressure vessel air leakage detection system. Background Art

[0002] A pressure vessel is a sealed container that can withstand pressure. When the pressure of the pressure vessel reaches 0.4 Mpa, it needs to exhaust a large amount of gas outward. During the process of detecting D1-class pressure vessels (such as liquid accumulators and separators) used in air-conditioning systems, generally compressed gas or bottled gas is required for air leakage detection (to make its pressure 3 MPa or above), and the direct discharge method is adopted during pressure relief. Since the gas will produce harsh noise when discharged, a designated direct discharge area is required, and the noise is uncontrollable. In order to eliminate the noise, a special muffler needs to be installed. Most of the existing mufflers adopt the impedance composite noise elimination principle. Due to reasons such as complex structure, large weight, high-temperature oxidation of the sound-absorbing filler, high-speed air flow impacting the sound-absorbing filler, and water vapor permeating the sound-absorbing filler, the muffler is prone to frequent maintenance, poor noise elimination effect, short service life, etc. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of noise reduction device to achieve the purpose of pressure relief and noise elimination and reduction of the pressure vessel.

[0003] There are also improvements to the prior art. The Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN105972371B discloses a pressure vessel noise reduction device and a pressure vessel detection system. Among them, a pressure vessel noise reduction device includes an upper structure and a lower structure. The upper structure includes a sewer, and the lower structure includes a reservoir and a noise reduction pool. The sewer is above the reservoir, and the reservoir is above the noise reduction pool. The pressure relief pipeline for discharging gas sequentially passes through the sewer, the reservoir, and the noise reduction pool, and the air outlet of the pressure relief pipeline is located at the bottom of the noise reduction pool. The disclosed invention realizes the sound insulation and noise reduction effect of the noise during pressure relief gas through the three-layer structure of the sewer, the reservoir, and the noise reduction pool and the cooperation of the closed design. And it is hidden in the sewer, so that the design of the disclosed invention's noise reduction device does not affect the overall appearance.

[0004] However, the disclosed invention has the following disadvantages: 1) It is only applicable to environments with sewers, and has high requirements for the working environment; 2) It is necessary to dig a pit at the bottom of the sewer to install the reservoir and the noise reduction pool, which has certain construction costs; 3) The sewer will emit odors, resulting in a poor working environment; 4) There are many sundries in the sewer, which are easy to block the pressure relief pipeline. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a pressure vessel air leakage detection system. The bottom of the first water tank is hermetically connected to the top of the second water tank. There is a first gap between the periphery of the noise reduction pool and the periphery of the second water tank, and a second gap between the bottom of the noise reduction pool and the bottom of the second water tank, so that the first water tank and the noise reduction pool form a closed design cooperation, improving the noise reduction effect. The first pipeline, the second pipeline, the first water pump and the second water pump cooperate to make the water in the first water tank and the water in the second water tank circulate. The key is to make the water in the first water tank flow. A water surface sound insulation layer will be formed between the noise reduction pool and the first water tank, increasing the sound insulation and noise reduction effect. The present invention can be applied to most working environments and has low requirements for the working environment. There is no need to change the working environment and there is no construction cost. The water in the first water tank and the second water tank is relatively clear and will not block the pressure relief pipeline.

[0030] The present invention provides a leakage detection system for a pressure vessel.

The noise reduction pool 13 is installed inside the second water tank 14. The top of the noise reduction pool 13 is communicated with the bottom of the first water tank 12. The bottom of the first water tank 12 is hermetically connected to the top of the second water tank 14. A first gap 15 is provided between the peripheries of the noise reduction pool 13 and the second water tank 14, and a second gap 16 is provided between the bottom of the noise reduction pool 13 and the bottom of the second water tank 14. A first pipe 17 is provided between one side of the first water tank 12 and one side of the second water tank 14. A first water pump 19 is provided on the first pipe 17. A second pipe 18 is provided between the opposite side of the first water tank 12 and the opposite side of the second water tank 14. A second water pump 110 is provided on the second pipe 18. The pressure relief pipe 11 is inserted into the noise reduction pool 13 from inside the first water tank 12, and the air outlet of the pressure relief pipe 11 is located at the bottom of the noise reduction pool 13.

[0032] In the technical solution proposed in this application, the bottom of the first water tank 12 is hermetically connected to the top of the second water tank 14. A first gap 15 is provided between the peripheries of the noise reduction pool 13 and the second water tank 14, and a second gap 16 is provided between the bottom of the noise reduction pool 13 and the bottom of the second water tank 14, enabling a closed design cooperation between the first water tank 12 and the noise reduction pool 13, improving the noise reduction effect; the cooperation of the first pipe 17, the second pipe 18, the first water pump 19, and the second water pump 110 causes the water in the first water tank 12 and the water in the second water tank 14 to circulate. The key is that the water in the first water tank 12 can flow, and a water surface sound insulation layer (not shown in the figure) will be formed between the noise reduction pool 13 and the first water tank 12, increasing the sound insulation and noise reduction effect; the present invention can be applied to most working environments with relatively low requirements for the working environment; there is no need to change the working environment and there is no construction cost; the water in the first water tank 12 and the second water tank 14 is relatively clear and will not block the pressure relief pipe 11.

[0033] The lower layer structure further includes a reservoir 111 with openings at both the upper and lower ends. The top of the reservoir 111 is connected to the bottom of the first water tank 12, and the bottom of the reservoir 111 is connected to the top of the noise reduction tank 13. The width of the reservoir 111 is greater than the width of the noise reduction tank 13. In a specific embodiment, there is a gap (not marked) between the periphery of the reservoir 111 and the second water tank 14. The greater width of the reservoir 111 than that of the noise reduction tank 13 can ensure that there is enough water in the noise reduction tank 13, thus ensuring the minimum noise reduction effect.

[0034] The top of the first water tank 12 is provided with a sealing cover 112, and the sealing cover 112 is provided with a threaded through hole (not marked), and a plug 113 is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole. The design of the sealing cover 112 can prevent the water in the first water tank 12 from spilling out, and the design of the threaded through hole facilitates adding water into the first water tank 12.

[0036] The first water tank 12, the reservoir 111 and the noise reduction tank 13 are processed by an integral molding method. Using the integral molding method for processing can make the sealing between the first water tank 12 and the reservoir 111, and between the reservoir 111 and the noise reduction tank 13 better.

[0037] A first cover plate 114 is provided at the connection between the first water tank 12 and the reservoir 111. The first cover plate 114 is provided with a number of first exhaust and water inlet holes 116. A second cover plate 115 is provided at the connection between the reservoir 111 and the noise reduction tank 13.

The size of the second exhaust and water inlet holes 117 is larger than that of the first exhaust and water inlet holes 116. Both the first cover plate 114 and the second cover plate 115 can play a role in sound insulation and noise reduction. After the gas enters the noise reduction tank 13 from the pressure relief pipeline, when the gas is released and sprayed upward, through the dispersion of the larger second exhaust and water inlet holes 117 reserved on the second cover plate 115, multiple larger bubbles are formed, and then through the further dispersion of the first exhaust and intake holes 116 reserved on the first cover plate 114, countless smaller bubbles are formed. When reaching the water surface in the first water tank 12, a dull sound is emitted to complete the noise reduction.

[0038] The pressure relief pipeline 11 sequentially penetrates through the first cover plate 114 and the second cover plate 115, and the first cover plate 114 and the second cover plate 115 are respectively fixedly connected to the pressure relief pipeline 11. In a specific embodiment, the pressure relief pipeline 11 can be divided into two parts. One part is fixedly connected to the first cover plate 114 and the second cover plate 115, and the other part is detachably connected to this part, which facilitates the packaging and transportation of the present invention.
