[0009] Furthermore, the number of the first support blocks is 4, and the number of the second support blocks is 4.

By injecting cold fluid, the temperature of the shoulder of the reducing tee 2 is made uniform, avoiding excessive thermal stress and preventing the shoulder of the reducing tee 2 from cracking.

[0025] With conventional reducing tee ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 ) and optimized tee ( Figure 5 and Figure 6 ) is used as a comparison object, and simulation calculations are performed on the present invention to verify the stability of its structure.

[0034]

[0035] Conventional reducing tees, optimized tees and the present invention are used as simulation objects and studied using ANSYS software. First, the temperature field of the tee is calculated through thermal fluid-solid coupling simulation, and then the load is applied to the structural analysis to perform stress analysis and calculation.

[0036] Considering the simulation working conditions, different settings are made for the simulation, and the parameters at different temperatures during the simulation are calculated using the linear interpolation method. Apply vertical downward gravity acceleration to the tee, set the end face at the cold flow inlet as a fixed end face and apply a reaction force of 21.55MPa, apply a reaction force of 23.14MPa to the end face of the main pipe, and apply the design pressure value to the inner wall of the pipe.

Three types of tees are simulated according to the working conditions (W+P+T), and the results under the working conditions are analyzed. Use CFD to perform thermal fluid-solid coupling on the tee, and select the standard k-ω turbulence model.

[0037] Stress assessment is carried out according to the provisions of JB4732-1995 "Steel Pressure Vessels - Analysis and Design Standards".

I ~S V , select the more dangerous stress points to make multiple stress check lines along the thickness, and perform linearization on the stress intensity of the tee. Finally, according to the above regulations, the stress strength of the tees of the three structures is checked.
