[0022] refer to Figure 1 The dry gas seal near-zero leakage and working medium recovery system of the present invention includes a transfer device and a dry gas seal body 1, a sealing gas inlet 2, an isolation gas inlet 3, a leakage gas outlet 4, a leakage gas collecting tank 5, a blower 6, an emptying gas collecting tank 7, a compressor 8, an electric motor 9, a low-temperature two-phase expander 10, a cooler 11, a system precooler hot side inlet valve 12 and a system liquid storage tank inlet valve 13;
[0023] The sealing gas inlet 2 of the converter equipment and the dry gas sealing body 1 is connected to the outlet of the system high-pressure tank, and the leakage gas outlet of the converter equipment and the dry gas sealing body 1 is connected to the inlet of the leakage gas collecting tank 5. The outlet of the leakage gas collecting tank 5 is connected to the inlet of the emptying gas collecting tank 7 via the blower 6. The outlet of the emptying gas collecting tank 7 is divided into two paths, one of which is connected to the isolation gas inlet 3 of the converter equipment and the dry gas sealing body 1, and the other is connected to the inlet of the compressor 8. The outlet of the compressor 8 is divided into two paths, one of which is connected to the hot side inlet of the system precooler through the hot side inlet valve 12 of the system precooler, and the other is connected to the inlet of the low-temperature two-phase expander 10 through the cooler 11. The outlet of the low-temperature two-phase expander 10 is connected to the inlet of the system liquid storage tank through the system liquid storage tank inlet valve 13. The low-temperature two-phase expander 10, the motor 9 and the compressor 8 are coaxially arranged.
[0024] Furthermore, the emptying gas collecting tank 7 is also connected to the system high-pressure emptying.
[0025] The specific working process of the present invention is:
[0026] During the dry gas seal leakage recovery process, the high-pressure working fluid output by the system high-pressure tank is injected into the converter equipment and the dry gas seal body 1 through the sealing gas inlet 2, and the low-pressure isolation gas is injected through the isolation gas inlet 3. The dry gas seal leakage gas is discharged through the leakage gas outlet 4 and enters the leakage gas collecting tank 5. The gas output by the leakage gas collecting tank 5 enters the emptying gas collecting tank 7 through the blower 6. Among them, the gas output by the emptying gas collecting tank 7 is divided into two paths, one of which is sent to the converter equipment and the dry gas seal body 1 as isolation gas, and the other enters the compressor 8 for compression. Among them, the compressed gas output by the compressor 8 is divided into two paths, one of which enters the low-temperature two-phase expander 10 to do work, and then enters the system liquid storage tank, and the other enters the hot side inlet of the system precooler.
[0027] It should be noted that the pressure of the working fluid at the sealing gas inlet 2 is 15MPa-30MPa and the temperature is 100°C-150°C. The pressure of the working fluid at the leakage gas outlet 4 is 0.1MPa and the temperature is 20°C-40°C.
[0028] The function of the leakage gas collecting tank 5 is to collect the dry gas seal leakage gas and keep the inlet pressure of the blower 6 stable; the function of the blower 6 is to increase the pressure of the working fluid in the emptied gas collecting tank 7 to 0.3~0.5MPa to meet the gas usage requirements of the isolation gas; the blower 6 operates at a variable speed, and the starting condition is that the working fluid pressure in the leakage gas collecting tank 5 is greater than 1.2 times the local atmospheric pressure, and the shutdown condition is that the working fluid pressure in the leakage gas collecting tank 5 is less than 0.8 times the local atmospheric pressure.
[0029] One of the functions of the emptying gas collecting tank 7 is to collect and store the low-pressure working fluid output by the blower 6, maintain the outlet pressure of the blower 6 stable, and at the same time collect and recover the high-pressure emptying working fluid from other points in the system; the pressure of the working fluid in the emptying gas collecting tank 7 is 0.3~0.5MPa, and its outside does not need thermal insulation cotton, it is directly exposed to the atmosphere and dissipates heat outward, and the temperature in the emptying gas collecting tank 7 is maintained the same as the ambient temperature; the gas output by the emptying gas collecting tank 7 is led out to connect to the isolation gas inlet 3 on one side to meet the gas requirements of the isolation gas, and the other side is connected to the compressor 8.
[0030] The design pressure of the compressor 8 inlet is 0.3-0.5MPa, the inlet temperature is 20℃-40℃, the outlet pressure is 8MPa, and the outlet temperature is 270℃-290℃; when the main circulation system needs to make up the working fluid, the system precooler hot side inlet valve 12 is opened, the system liquid storage tank inlet valve 13 is closed, and the working fluid output by the compressor 8 is directly merged into the system precooler hot side inlet; when the main circulation system does not need to make up the working fluid, the system precooler hot side inlet valve 12 is closed, the system liquid storage tank inlet valve 13 is opened, the working fluid output by the compressor 8 is cooled to 20℃-40℃ by the cooler 11, and then enters the low-temperature two-phase expander 10 for expansion, and is cooled and depressurized to a gas-liquid two-phase working fluid of -15℃--20℃ and 2MPa, and then is injected into the system liquid storage tank; one of the functions of the low-temperature two-phase expander 10 is to recover expansion work, and the other function is to cool and depressurize the high-pressure working fluid to a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase working fluid, and inject it into the system liquid storage tank.
[0031] The cantilevered arms of the low-temperature two-phase expander 10 and compressor 8 are mounted on either end of the motor 9. The three components rotate coaxially and at the same speed, enabling variable speed operation. Compressor 8 is activated when the working fluid pressure within the evacuated gas collecting tank 7 exceeds 0.5 MPa, and is shut down when the working fluid pressure within the evacuated gas collecting tank 7 falls below 0.45 MPa.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents.
