Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of petrochemical enterprise safety, and in particular relates to a test device for the combustion and explosion characteristics of hydrogen-blended natural gas and the explosion prevention / suppression synergistic effect under the influence of multiple parameters and a performance testing technology thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid transformation of the energy structure and the formulation of the dual carbon goals of energy conservation and emission reduction, hydrogen-blended natural gas technology has been widely used and developed. Because of its green and clean characteristics, it can reduce carbon emissions during natural gas combustion. The transportation technologies of hydrogen-blended natural gas include long tank trailers, liquid hydrogen tank trucks and pipelines. Pipeline transportation has the characteristics of large transportation volume, long distance and low energy loss, and is currently the main mode of transportation. However, the addition of hydrogen can easily cause hydrogen embrittlement to natural gas storage and transportation equipment, and even cause equipment failure and gas leakage. Both natural gas and hydrogen are flammable and explosive gases. It is of great significance to understand the combustion and explosion characteristics of hydrogen-blended natural gas and take effective protective measures to prevent hydrogen-blended natural gas explosion accidents.
[0003] At present, the research on hydrogen-blended natural gas explosion is mostly focused on the macroscopic combustion and explosion characteristics, and there are few studies on the microstructure of the explosion flow field and the flow field change characteristics. The research that has been carried out is not enough to reveal the dynamic characteristics and influencing mechanism of hydrogen-blended natural gas explosion under the influence of multiple parameters. This requires in-depth development of experimental equipment that can meet the combustion and explosion characteristics of hydrogen-blended natural gas and its influencing factors and mechanisms, which has theoretical and practical significance for improving the theory of gas explosion. At the same time, flame arresters are often used in gas pipeline transportation to block the explosion flame in the pipeline. Once they fail, they will cause explosion accidents and cause a large number of casualties and serious economic losses. The current research on flame arresters is still imperfect in terms of theory and testing equipment and technology, and it is difficult to meet the growing requirements for energy safety use. In the face of hydrogen-blended natural gas with higher equipment requirements, how to achieve effective suppression and master the influence law and mechanism of explosion-proof characteristics, and establish an accurate correspondence between the critical explosion rate and pressure and the structural parameters of the flame arrester is crucial. In addition, when the flame arrester fails to block the flame, it is necessary to take effective secondary protection measures. However, there are still deficiencies in the selection of hydrogen-blended natural gas explosion suppressants, the types of explosion suppressants and their physical parameters for the suppression law and mechanism of explosion flames, and no complete theoretical system standard has been formed. In addition, the current focus is on explosion suppression in a single protection method, and there is a lack of research on the synergistic suppression of explosion prevention / suppression. Therefore, it is difficult to form a relatively complete theoretical guidance, let alone reveal the mechanism of group suppression / explosion synergy and establish an effective physical model. This requires the mastery of accurate and detailed experimental data on the explosion characteristics, explosion prevention, explosion suppression, and synergistic effects of hydrogen-blended natural gas as theoretical support, and then improve the explosion suppression theory to provide scientific ideas and theoretical basis for the research and development of combustible gas explosion protection.

The four metal support rods 18 are at the same height as the visual explosion container 1 and are pressed by the upper and lower container end cover flanges 2-1 and 2-2. The upper and lower pressure plates of the flame arrester are designed and processed according to the cross-sectional area of the visual explosion container 1, and the gap between the upper and lower pressure plates and the wall is blocked with vacuum sealing mud to prevent the flame from passing through and igniting the premixed gas at the upper end. The position height of the flame arrester is adjusted by adjusting the position of the nut. The flame arrester can adopt a porous medium, a wire mesh structure and a corrugated pipe flame arrester structure. Here, the influence of the type of flame arrester and the structural parameters of the flame arrester (porosity, thickness of the flame arrester unit, material, etc.) on the fire-proof effect can be realized.
[0012] The obstacle system is composed of an obstacle 5 and four metal support rods 18.

The humidity of the gas in the local space flow field of the ignition electrode 6 in the visual explosion container 1 is regulated, and the influence of environmental humidity on the combustion and explosion characteristics and ignition conditions of hydrogen-blended natural gas is studied. The ultrasonic atomizer 38 in the atomizing sealed container 37 atomizes the water mist and merges it into the air inlet pipe through a branch pipe. The lower end branch pipe is installed on the container end cover flange 2-2 through a threaded connection to achieve the balance of the pressure inside the atomizing sealed container 37 after the water mist enters the inside of the visual explosion container 1. The variable frequency power regulator 10-2 realizes the opening and closing of the ultrasonic atomizer 38 and regulates the atomization speed. The humidity sensor 15 is installed above the air inlet of the visual explosion container 1 to detect the environmental humidity of the gas inside the visual explosion container 1 and display it on the humidity display 33.
[0021] The program control and data acquisition system 25 is written in C language and combined with the synchronous controller 24, it can realize the sequence of ignition, explosion suppressant spraying, water mist spraying, data acquisition and the corresponding moments and times.
[0022] By realizing the correlation and comprehensive analysis of the combustion and explosion characteristics of hydrogen-blended natural gas and explosion parameters (explosion pressure, pressure rise rate, flame temperature, explosion flame propagation characteristics, flow field microstructure, flame ion radical changes, minimum ignition energy, etc.) in a visual experimental device, the coupling process and transient evolution process of multiple physical fields such as pressure field, temperature field, velocity field, density field, etc. are clarified, and by changing the initial conditions and operating parameters, the combustion and explosion characteristics of hydrogen-blended natural gas under the influence of multiple factors and their influencing laws and mechanisms are studied.

In particular, the processes of fluid flow state transformation, flow and heat transfer, shock wave attenuation when high-temperature flame enters the flame arrester, and the influencing mechanism of the coupling effect of flame and shock wave inside the flame arrester are studied. A quantitative relationship between the structural parameters of the flame arrester and the flame propagation velocity and shock wave pressure under the influence of multiple factors is established, and an optimization method for the flame arrester structure is proposed. At the same time, a critical criterion model for deflagration and detonation prevention and the re-ignition mechanism at the back end of the flame arrester are established, thereby providing a theoretical basis and technical support for the development of hydrogen explosion protection theory and the research and development of key flame arrester technologies.

By spraying powder explosion suppressants along the pipeline and the open end of the container, the explosion flame of hydrogen-blended natural gas can be effectively suppressed, and the evolution characteristics and influencing factors of explosion suppression parameters and flame propagation dynamics can be clarified. By changing the working conditions and explosion suppression parameters, the explosion suppression characteristics of powder explosion suppressants under the influence of multiple parameters and the influence rules and mechanisms of their key parameters can be studied, and explosion suppression criteria can be proposed. At the same time, the explosion flame can be suppressed by spraying fine water mist. The explosion suppression characteristics of hydrogen-blended natural gas can be effectively studied by changing the water mist characteristic parameters.
