Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental protection technology, specifically to an oil and gas recovery method, an oil and gas recovery system, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Onboard vapor recovery systems are a highly efficient technology for reducing fuel vapor pollution during refueling. By installing an activated carbon canister in the vehicle's fuel supply system, a liquid seal forms within the narrow refueling line during refueling, preventing fuel vapors from escaping from the fuel tank and refueling line. Simultaneously, any fuel vapors overflowing from the tank are transported to the activated carbon canister via a vent valve and adsorbed, thus recovering the vapors and preventing waste. The promotion and application of onboard vapor recovery systems are of great significance for reducing emissions from overall vehicle fuel systems. Data from the United States shows that onboard vapor recovery systems have a lifespan of approximately 15 years and can maintain a recovery efficiency of over 95% for extended periods. Compared to the secondary vapor recovery systems commonly used in my country, they offer advantages such as higher recovery efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and more stable and reliable performance.

[0003] With the increasing adoption of vehicles equipped with onboard vapor recovery systems in my country, existing conventional vapor recovery refueling nozzles, when used with these vehicles, still suffer from issues. Although these vehicles internally collect and process vapors during refueling, the vapor recovery system maintains a gas-liquid ratio of 1.0-1.2. However, the vapor collection hood and refueling port of the vapor recovery nozzle often have sealing gaps. This results in the existing vapor recovery system actually recovering excess air into the underground fuel tank, disrupting the existing vapor phase balance within the tank and accelerating fuel evaporation to some extent. This excess air is ultimately released through the tank's PV valve. Existing research indicates that simultaneously using an onboard vapor recovery system and a secondary vapor recovery system may reduce recovery efficiency by approximately 15%.

[0064] In the description of the embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0065] Example 1

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an oil and gas recovery system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0067] The oil and gas recovery system includes an oil and gas recovery controller 1, an oil and gas flow meter 2, an oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3, an oil and gas concentration meter 4, an oil and gas flow control valve 5, a pressure gauge 6, a breakaway valve 7, and a refueling nozzle 8.

[0068] Understandably, the oil and gas recovery system is connected to the gas station's online monitoring system for oil and gas recovery, so that various data during the oil and gas recovery process can be uploaded to the gas station's online monitoring system for display.

[0069] The oil and gas recovery controller 1 is connected to the oil and gas flow meter 2, the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3, the oil and gas concentration meter 4, the oil and gas flow control valve 5, and the pressure gauge 6 respectively. It is used to control each device and can be a PLC or a microcontroller. During operation, the oil and gas recovery controller 1 controls the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3 to pump air. The concentration of the pumped oil and gas is detected by the oil and gas concentration meter 4 to obtain the oil and gas concentration. The oil and gas concentration is sampled to obtain the oil and gas concentration sampling data. It is then used to determine whether the vehicle has an on-board oil and gas recovery function. Based on the vehicle function judgment result, the controller controls the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3 and the oil and gas flow control valve 5 to continue or stop pumping air from the car's fuel tank. In the specific implementation process, the oil and gas recovery controller 1 can also use the oil and gas flow meter 2 to obtain the flow rate data of oil and gas recovery, the oil and gas recovery controller 1 can also use the pressure gauge 6 to measure the pressure value of the recovery pipeline, the oil and gas recovery controller 1 can also control the gas-liquid ratio of the oil and gas recovery system within the preset ratio range by controlling the opening degree of the oil and gas flow control valve 5 or the rotation speed of the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3, and the vacuum pump can be turned on or off by controlling the power supply of the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3.

[0070] The oil and gas flow meter 2 can be a Roots flow meter or a vortex flow meter, used to obtain the oil and gas flow rate during the oil and gas recovery process.

[0071] The oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3 can be a variable frequency NP pump or a power frequency durr pump, used to evacuate the recovery pipeline and the car fuel tank, or to change the flow rate by frequency conversion to change the gas-liquid ratio of the pumped gas.

[0072] The oil and gas concentration meter 4 can be a general-purpose semiconductor or infrared hydrocarbon gas concentration sensor used to detect the concentration of oil and gas in pipelines.

[0073] The oil and gas flow control valve 5 can be an electromagnetic control regulating valve used to control the gas-liquid ratio of the oil and gas recovery system in the recovery pipeline.

[0074] Pressure gauge 6 can be equipped with an explosion-proof micro-pressure sensor suitable for oil and gas pressure measurement to detect the pressure value of the recovery pipeline.

[0075] The breakaway valve 7 is a coaxial hose breakaway valve used to prevent oil leakage in case of abnormal breakage.

[0076] The fuel nozzle 8 is used to connect the car's fuel tank and the vapor recovery pipeline. When it detects that the user has pulled the fuel nozzle 8 out of the fuel dispenser, it sends a nozzle-lifting signal to the vapor recovery controller 1. When it detects that the user has started refueling, it sends a refueling start signal to the vapor recovery controller 1.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an oil and gas recovery method provided in this embodiment.

[0079] This embodiment is based on the oil and gas recovery system provided in Embodiment 1, and this embodiment operates on the oil and gas recovery controller 1.

[0080] Step S100: During the oil and gas extraction operation, the oil and gas concentration is sampled to obtain oil and gas concentration sampling data.

[0081] In this embodiment, the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3 is used to extract air from the recovery pipeline, or the recovery pipeline is used to extract air from the car's fuel tank. The extracted oil and gas is then detected by the oil and gas concentration meter 4 to obtain oil and gas concentration sampling data.

[0082] It should be understood that this embodiment provides two evacuation methods. One method involves simultaneously evacuating the recovery pipeline and the vehicle's fuel tank using the vapor recovery vacuum pump 3 when a refueling start signal is detected. This means that when the vehicle is refueling, the fuel nozzle 8 generates a refueling signal. When the vapor recovery controller 1 detects the refueling start signal, and after determining that the ratio of the vapor recovery flow rate Q1 to the refueling flow rate Q0 is within the normal range of 1.0 to 1.2, and that the refueling flow rate is within the normal range of 20-50 L / min (i.e., both the refueling pump and the vapor recovery vacuum pump 3 are operating normally), the recovery pipeline and the vehicle's fuel tank are evacuated to detect the vapor concentration in these areas. The other method involves evacuating the recovery pipeline before refueling the vehicle, when the refueling pipeline is not connected to the vehicle's fuel tank. When the user picks up the fuel nozzle 8, a nozzle-lifting signal is generated. Simultaneously, when the vapor recovery controller 1 detects the nozzle-lifting signal, the recovery pipeline is evacuated to recover any residual vapor in the pipeline.

[0083] It is worth mentioning that, since residual fuel gas from previous refueling and fuel gas recovery may remain in the recovery pipeline, this embodiment proposes a delay in sampling the extracted fuel gas concentration to avoid misjudging the fuel gas concentration in the vehicle's fuel tank. Specifically: The fuel dispenser configuration information is obtained; based on this information, the fuel dispenser's vapor space data is calculated; then, based on the vapor space data, the initial pumping time is calculated; when the current pumping time reaches the initial pumping time, the extracted fuel gas concentration is sampled to obtain fuel gas concentration sampling data. Specifically, the calculation of the fuel dispenser's vapor space data involves calculating the sum of the vapor space inside the fuel nozzle 8, the vapor space inside the fuel gas recovery coaxial hose, and the vapor spaces of the disconnect valve 7, the gas-liquid separator, and the fuel dispenser's internal pipelines, based on the actual configuration of the fuel dispenser. This sum is denoted as V1. The initial pumping time is calculated as follows:

[0084] T1 = V1 / Q + τ;

[0085] In the formula, T1 is the initial pumping time, V1 is the gas phase space data of the fuel dispenser, and Q is the pumping flow rate of the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3; where Q can be obtained by measuring the current flow rate of the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3 by the oil and gas flow meter 2, or by obtaining the average value of the historical flow rate data of the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3.

[0086] Based on the two evacuation methods mentioned above, this embodiment provides two corresponding oil and gas concentration sampling methods. Specifically: For the method where evacuation is performed simultaneously on the recovery pipeline and the vehicle's fuel tank when a refueling start signal is detected, the evacuated oil and gas concentration is sampled at preset time intervals when the current evacuation time reaches the initial evacuation time, thus obtaining oil and gas concentration sampling data. This means that oil and gas concentration is sampled at equal time intervals during the refueling process, and the obtained oil and gas concentration sampling data reflects the changes in oil and gas concentration during refueling. For the method where evacuation is performed simultaneously on the recovery pipeline when a nozzle lift signal is detected, the concentration of the evacuated gas needs to be detected to obtain the oil and gas concentration in the recovery pipeline. Further determination is made as to whether the oil and gas concentration in the recovery pipeline is greater than a second preset concentration value. If so, it is determined that there is a leak between the recovery pipeline and the refueling pipeline, which could be an internal leak in the oil and gas lines inside the refueling nozzle 8, or an internal leak in the oil and gas lines at the disconnect valve 7, etc., and corresponding repairs are made to address the leak. If not, it is detected whether there is a refueling signal. If a refueling signal is detected, evacuation is performed simultaneously on the recovery pipeline and the vehicle's fuel tank.

[0087] The above method analyzes the oil and gas concentration to determine whether there is a leak between the recovery pipeline and the refueling pipeline. In addition, since the oil and gas recovery system is in a sealed environment, this embodiment also provides a method to further determine whether there is a leak between the recovery pipeline and the atmospheric environment by analyzing the pressure value of the recovery pipeline. Specifically: when the current evacuation time exceeds the preset evacuation time, it is detected whether the current pressure of the recovery pipeline has reached the preset pressure value. If the current pressure of the recovery pipeline has reached the preset pressure value, it is detected whether there is a refueling signal. If a refueling signal is detected, the recovery pipeline and the vehicle's fuel tank are evacuated simultaneously. If the current pressure of the recovery pipeline has not reached the preset pressure value, it is determined that there is a leak between the recovery pipeline and the atmospheric environment, and the leak is repaired accordingly.

[0088] Step S200: Based on the oil and gas concentration sampling data, determine whether the current vehicle has an on-board oil and gas recovery function, and obtain the judgment result.

[0089] Step S300: Based on the judgment result, perform the corresponding oil and gas recovery operation and transmit the judgment result to the gas station's online oil and gas recovery monitoring system.

[0090] It is important to understand that when refueling and performing vapor recovery on vehicles equipped with On-Road Vapor Regeneration (ORVR), since the vapors in the fuel tank have already been recovered by the vehicle's ORVR system, the secondary vapor recovery system will pump air from the fuel tank again. This pumped-back air contains a large amount of air, which can easily disrupt the evaporation balance of the underground fuel tank, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, this embodiment proposes a method to determine whether the current vehicle has ORVR functionality. If the vehicle does have ORVR, the vapor flow control valve 5 or the vapor recovery vacuum pump 3 is closed to stop pumping air from the current vehicle, improving vapor recovery efficiency and saving energy. If the vehicle does not have ORVR, vapor recovery continues.

[0091] Based on the oil and gas concentration sampling data obtained in step S100, this embodiment provides two methods to determine whether the current vehicle has an on-board oil and gas recovery function. One method is to calculate the average oil and gas concentration by averaging the above oil and gas concentration sampling data, and then determine whether the average oil and gas concentration is greater than a first preset concentration value. If it is, the current vehicle does not have an on-board oil and gas recovery function; otherwise, the current vehicle has an on-board oil and gas recovery function. Since the oil and gas concentration inside the car's fuel tank is usually a saturation concentration, which is directly related to the ambient temperature, this embodiment also proposes to further establish a relationship function between oil and gas concentration and temperature by obtaining historical oil and gas concentration and historical temperature data, denoted as C. m =f(T),C m Let C be the fuel vapor concentration, T be the temperature, and the relationship function be C to determine whether the average fuel vapor concentration of the current vehicle is greater than a preset multiple. m = f(T)*k, where the preset multiple k is a configurable coefficient. If the average oil and gas concentration is greater than the preset multiple relationship function, it is determined that the current vehicle does not have on-board oil and gas recovery function, and air extraction continues. If the average oil and gas concentration is less than or equal to the preset multiple relationship function, it is determined that the current vehicle has on-board oil and gas recovery function, and oil and gas recovery stops. The relationship function between temperature and concentration can be... P is the saturated vapor pressure of gasoline. The first preset concentration can be set to the gasoline vapor concentration C. m 50%.

[0092] Understandably, when it is determined that the current vehicle does not have an on-board vapor recovery function, while continuing to extract vapor from the current vehicle, it is also necessary to control the vapor-liquid ratio of the vapor recovery system within a preset range. The vapor-liquid ratio is the ratio of the volume of vapor extracted during refueling to the volume of gasoline added to the car's fuel tank, and the preset range is 1.00-1.20.

[0093] This embodiment presents examples of oil and gas recovery methods under different installation conditions, as shown below:

[0094] Example 1: Due to operating limitations, pressure gauge 6 could not be installed. When the fuel nozzle 8 starts refueling the current vehicle, the vapor recovery controller 1 detects the refueling signal and simultaneously activates the vapor recovery vacuum pump 3 to evacuate the recovery pipeline and / or the vehicle's fuel tank. The refueling flow rate and fuel flow rate Q are obtained through the fuel dispenser's main board and the vapor flow meter 2, respectively. To avoid residual fuel from previous refueling and vapor recovery processes in the refueling pipeline, Example 1 can calculate the vapor phase space data of the fuel dispenser based on the actual pipeline configuration. Based on the vapor phase space data, the initial evacuation time is calculated as T1 = V1 / Q + τ, where V1 is the evacuation flow rate of the vapor recovery vacuum pump 3, which can be obtained by measuring the current flow rate of the vapor recovery vacuum pump 3 using the vapor flow meter 2. When the initial extraction time is reached, the concentration of extracted oil and gas is sampled at preset time intervals to obtain oil and gas concentration sampling data collected within multiple preset time intervals. After processing the oil and gas concentration sampling data using a certain mathematical statistical method, the average oil and gas concentration is calculated. It is then determined whether the average oil and gas concentration is greater than a preset threshold. If so, it is considered that the car's fuel tank contains a high concentration of oil and gas, and the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle without on-board oil and gas recovery function. The extraction of air from the vehicle continues, and the gas-liquid ratio of the oil and gas recovery system is controlled within the range of 1.0-1.2. If not, it is considered that the concentration of oil and gas in the car's fuel tank is low, and the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle with on-board oil and gas recovery function. The oil and gas recovery of the vehicle is then stopped. Example 1 can also establish a relationship function between oil and gas concentration and temperature based on historical oil and gas concentration data and historical temperature data from previous refueling and recovery processes at gas stations. It can then determine whether the average oil and gas concentration is greater than a preset multiple of the relationship function. If so, the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle without on-board oil and gas recovery function, and the vehicle will continue to be pumped out, with the gas-liquid ratio controlled within the range of 1.0-1.2. If not, the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle with on-board oil and gas recovery function, and oil and gas recovery for the vehicle will be stopped.

[0095] Example 2: Due to operating limitations, pressure gauge 6 and oil / gas flow control valve 5 are not installed. At this time, the oil / gas recovery vacuum pump 3 is uncontrolled. When the recovery control module detects the nozzle-lifting signal, it pre-starts the oil / gas recovery vacuum pump 3 to evacuate the recovery pipeline. The gas path is closed at this time to recover residual oil / gas in the recovery pipeline. Example 2 can calculate the gas phase space data of the fuel dispenser based on its actual pipeline configuration. Based on the gas phase space data, the initial evacuation time is calculated: T1 = V1 / Q + τ, where Q is the evacuation velocity of the oil / gas recovery vacuum pump 3, obtained by averaging the historical flow velocity data of the oil / gas recovery vacuum pump 3. When the current evacuation time reaches the initial evacuation time, the concentration of the recovered oil / gas in the recovery pipeline is sampled. If the concentration of the recovered oil / gas in the recovery pipeline is greater than a pre-set concentration value, then the relationship between the recovery pipeline and the refueling pipeline is determined. If a leak is detected, the system checks for a refueling signal. If a refueling signal is detected, the system simultaneously evacuates the recovery pipeline and the vehicle's fuel tank. After a preset time has elapsed, the concentration of the extracted fuel vapor is sampled at preset time intervals to obtain fuel vapor concentration sampling data collected within multiple preset time intervals. The fuel vapor concentration sampling data is then processed using a certain mathematical statistical method to calculate the average fuel vapor concentration. If the average fuel vapor concentration exceeds a preset threshold, the vehicle is considered to have a high concentration of fuel vapor in the fuel tank and is determined to be a vehicle without on-board fuel vapor recovery function. The system continues to evacuate the vehicle and controls the gas-liquid ratio of the fuel vapor recovery system within the range of 1.0-1.2. If not, the fuel vapor concentration in the fuel tank is considered to be low and the vehicle is determined to be a vehicle with on-board fuel vapor recovery function. The fuel vapor recovery process is then stopped for this vehicle. Example 2 can also establish a relationship function between oil and gas concentration and temperature based on historical oil and gas concentration data and historical temperature data from previous refueling and recovery processes at gas stations. It can then determine whether the average oil and gas concentration is greater than a preset multiple of the relationship function. If so, the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle without on-board oil and gas recovery function, and the vehicle will continue to be pumped out, with the gas-liquid ratio controlled within the range of 1.0-1.2. If not, the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle with on-board oil and gas recovery function, and oil and gas recovery for the vehicle will be stopped.

[0096] Example 3: Due to operating conditions, oil and gas flow meter 2 was not installed. When the recovery control module detects the gun lifting signal, it pre-starts the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3 to evacuate the recovery pipeline. At this time, the gas path is in a closed state. The purpose is to recover the residual oil and gas in the recovery pipeline. To detect whether there is a leak in the recovery pipeline, Example 3 can detect whether the current recovery pipeline pressure has reached the preset pressure value when the current evacuation time exceeds the preset evacuation time. If the current recovery pipeline pressure reaches the preset pressure value, it can detect whether there is a refueling signal. If a refueling signal is detected, it will proceed as planned. The system first evacuates the recovery pipeline and the vehicle's fuel tank. If the current pressure in the recovery pipeline does not reach the preset pressure value, it is determined that there is a leak in the recovery pipeline or a malfunction in the oil and gas recovery vacuum pump 3, and the corresponding repair is carried out. If not, the oil and gas concentration in the recovery pipeline is further sampled to determine whether the oil and gas concentration in the recovery pipeline is greater than a preset concentration value. If so, it is determined that there is a leak between the recovery pipeline and the refueling pipeline. If not, it detects whether there is a refueling signal. If a refueling signal is detected, the system simultaneously evacuates the recovery pipeline and the vehicle's fuel tank. After confirming that there is no leakage between the recovery pipeline and the refueling pipeline, Example 3, after the current evacuation time reaches a preset time, samples the concentration of the extracted oil and gas at preset time intervals to obtain oil and gas concentration sampling data collected within multiple preset time intervals. After processing the oil and gas concentration sampling data using a certain mathematical statistical method, the average oil and gas concentration is calculated. It is then determined whether the average oil and gas concentration is greater than a preset threshold. If so, it is considered that the car's fuel tank contains a high concentration of oil and gas, and the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle without on-board oil and gas recovery function. Evacuation of the vehicle continues, and the gas-liquid ratio of the oil and gas recovery system is controlled within the range of 1.0-1.2. If not, it is considered that the oil and gas concentration in the car's fuel tank is low, and the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle with on-board oil and gas recovery function. Oil and gas recovery for the vehicle is then stopped. Example 3 can also establish a relationship function between oil and gas concentration and temperature based on historical oil and gas concentration data and historical temperature data from previous refueling and recovery processes at gas stations. It can then determine whether the average oil and gas concentration is greater than a preset multiple of the relationship function. If so, the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle without on-board oil and gas recovery function, and the vehicle will continue to be pumped out, with the gas-liquid ratio controlled within the range of 1.0-1.2. If not, the current vehicle is determined to be a vehicle with on-board oil and gas recovery function, and oil and gas recovery for the vehicle will be stopped.

[0097] This embodiment samples the concentration of extracted oil and gas during the extraction process to obtain oil and gas concentration data. Based on this data, it determines whether the vehicle has onboard vapor recovery functionality, obtains the judgment result, and reports the result to the gas station's online vapor recovery monitoring system. Based on this judgment result, it controls the vapor recovery operation of the vehicle. In other words, this embodiment distinguishes between vehicles with and without onboard vapor recovery functionality, executing the vapor recovery operation corresponding to the vehicle's functionality judgment result. This achieves identification and compatibility with vehicles possessing onboard vapor recovery functionality, avoids excessive emissions caused by drawing large amounts of air into underground oil tanks, improves the applicability and overall recovery efficiency of vapor recovery, and saves energy.
