Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tank storage and transportation equipment, and in particular to a temperature control system and a control method for tank storage and transportation equipment. Background Art

[0002] Tank storage and transportation equipment is widely used in the long-distance transportation and storage of liquid or gaseous goods, such as petroleum, chemical raw materials and liquefied natural gas. These goods are extremely sensitive to changes in ambient temperature. Errors in temperature control may cause changes in the properties of the goods and even cause safety accidents. Therefore, ensuring the stability of the temperature of the goods during storage and transportation is the key to ensuring their quality and safety.

[0003] The current temperature control system of tank storage and transportation equipment mainly measures the temperature of the cargo and the temperature of the hot and cold carriers in real time, and feeds the measured values ​​back to the controller. By comparing the actual measured values ​​with the target values, the start and stop actions of the heating and cooling temperature control system are controlled, thereby achieving temperature control of the stored and transported cargo; the traditional control method needs to rely entirely on the temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the cargo and the temperature of the hot and cold carriers in real time. When any temperature sensor fails, the system will be completely unable to operate; the traditional control method will control the temperature of the hot and cold carriers to form a predetermined temperature difference with the cargo temperature, and through the temperature difference, heat is transferred from the high temperature side to the low temperature side, thereby achieving heating, cooling or temperature maintenance of the cargo; however, too small a temperature difference will slow down the heating and cooling speed, while too large a temperature difference will cause large temperature fluctuations, making it difficult to achieve high temperature control accuracy; at the same time, continuous heating or cooling will damage the hot and cold carriers, and will also cause excessive temperature fluctuations in local cargo;

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a temperature control method and system for tank storage and transportation equipment, which can achieve precise control of cargo temperature and extend the service life of cold and hot carriers through accurate heat transfer coefficient measurement, flexible temperature control mode selection, dynamic temperature adjustment strategy and emergency mode design.

[0145] 2. A temperature control system and control method for tank storage and transportation equipment. The sensor may fail in actual application. The intelligent selection of working mode can ensure that the system can still operate normally when the sensor fails. The advantage of this function is that the system can identify the working status of the sensor and automatically switch to emergency mode to reduce the impact caused by sensor failure. Even if some sensors are damaged, the system can continue to operate by manually inputting data to ensure that the temperature control of the goods will not be interrupted.

[0146] 3. This tank storage and transportation equipment temperature control system and control method can better control the heating and cooling process and avoid the impact of extreme temperatures on goods by setting the limit temperature and recovery temperature of the heating carrier and the cooling carrier. Its advantages include: preventing the heating carrier and the cooling carrier from being too high or too low in temperature, protecting goods and equipment; ensuring that the system operates within a safe temperature range through dynamic monitoring and control; avoiding the equipment from operating under extreme conditions, reducing wear and failure probability, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0148] 5. A temperature control system and control method for tank storage and transportation equipment. When the temperature of the cargo reaches the target temperature, the system enters a temperature maintenance mode and ensures the stability of the cargo temperature by setting the control accuracy. Traditional temperature control methods often lack a temperature maintenance mechanism and are prone to temperature fluctuations after reaching the target temperature, affecting the quality of the cargo. The temperature maintenance mode sets the control accuracy and fine-tunes the working cycle of the heating or cooling carrier to ensure that the cargo temperature remains stable near the target temperature. This method can effectively avoid the impact of temperature fluctuations on the cargo. In addition, the temperature maintenance mode can also reduce the working time of the heating or cooling carrier, reduce energy consumption and equipment wear, and improve the operating efficiency of the system.

[0284] The temperature control system and control method of a tank storage and transportation equipment can control the temperature adjustment process more flexibly by dividing the temperature adjustment time into multiple discontinuous blocks. The system performs cooling or heating in a predetermined block, which can prevent the temperature of the goods from fluctuating too much within a period of time. The system restores the temperature of the cold and hot carriers outside the predetermined block, dynamically adjusts and controls the temperature, and ensures that the temperature of the goods is within the set range. The advantage of this strategy is that it can be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time temperature and control accuracy to ensure that the temperature of the goods does not fluctuate too much; unnecessary heating and cooling are avoided, and efficient use of energy is achieved through precise control.

[0285] A temperature control system and control method for tank storage and transportation equipment. When the temperature of the cargo reaches the target temperature, the system enters a temperature maintenance mode, and ensures the stability of the cargo temperature by setting the control accuracy. Traditional temperature control methods often lack a temperature maintenance mechanism, and are prone to temperature fluctuations after reaching the target temperature, affecting the quality of the cargo. The temperature maintenance mode sets the control accuracy and fine-tunes the working cycle of the heating or cooling carrier to ensure that the cargo temperature remains stable near the target temperature. This method can effectively avoid the impact of temperature fluctuations on the cargo. In addition, the temperature maintenance mode can also reduce the working time of the heating or cooling carrier, reduce energy consumption and equipment wear, and improve the operating efficiency of the system.
