[0002] In order to achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction in the power system, mixed gas is actively used instead of sulfur hexafluoride gas alone as an insulating medium to reduce the serious impact of large-scale use of sulfur hexafluoride gas on the greenhouse effect. At present, the use of mixed gas as an insulating medium in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is gradually increasing. Compared with the operation and maintenance technology of electrical equipment that uses sulfur hexafluoride gas alone, it is relatively mature, but it is still necessary to analyze the characteristics of the mixed gas, detect the composition, recycle and recycle it to achieve energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] See also Figure 1-5 : A SF6 / N2 mixed gas detection and recovery device comprises a mixed gas detection system 1, a mixed gas recovery system 2 and a control system, wherein the mixed gas detection system 1 is used to detect the humidity, purity and decomposition products of the SF6 / N2 mixed gas in electrical equipment, and the mixed gas recovery system 2 is provided with a mixed gas separation recovery path and a mixed gas recovery and reuse path, when the mixed gas detection system 1 detects that the detected amount of mixed gas is less than a predetermined value, the mixed gas recovery system 2 switches to the mixed gas separation recovery path for recovery through the control system; when the mixed gas detection system 1 detects that the detected amount of mixed gas is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the mixed gas recovery system 2 switches to the mixed gas recovery and reuse path for recovery through the control system.

[0028] The mixed gas recovery system of this embodiment is provided with two working modes, namely: a mixed gas separation recovery path and a mixed gas recovery and reuse path. The two working modes can better meet the use environment requirements of the electrical equipment. The first working mode, the mixed gas separation recovery path, is used in the case of a small amount of mixed gas detection.

[0031] In a specific example, the comprehensive detection module 15 includes a humidity sensor 151, a purity sensor 152 and a portable gas chromatograph 153 which are sequentially connected according to a gas pipeline.

[0032] It should be noted that the humidity detection in this embodiment can use the resistance-capacitance method and the dew point method to detect the trace water content in the mixed gas, the purity detection uses a thermal conductivity sensor to detect the mixing ratio of the gas, and a portable gas chromatograph can be used to analyze components such as carbon monoxide, carbon tetrafluoride, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen trifluoride; and the control system can adjust the flow rate by controlling the first flow control valve to improve the detection efficiency.

[0033] In a specific example, the mixed gas recovery system 2 includes a pretreatment module 21, a mixed gas separation and recovery module 22, and a mixed gas recovery and reuse module 23, wherein the pretreatment module 21 is connected to the gas outlet pipe of the comprehensive detection module 15; the mixed gas separation and recovery module 22 and the mixed gas recovery and reuse module 23 are connected in parallel to the pretreatment module 21, a first solenoid valve 24 is installed between the mixed gas separation and recovery module 22 and the pretreatment module 21, and a second solenoid valve 25 is installed between the mixed gas recovery and reuse module 23 and the pretreatment module 21.
