Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas displacement characteristic test, and in particular to a pipeline gas displacement characteristic test system based on modular dead space. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of petrochemicals, hydrogen energy equipment, natural gas transportation, and environmental monitoring, small pipeline systems are widely used for gas transmission and processing. In these applications, the displacement efficiency, flow characteristics, and retention of gas in the pipeline have an important impact on the operational safety of the system. During the gas displacement process, the dead space area that may exist in the pipeline system will seriously affect the displacement efficiency, resulting in reduced production efficiency, waste of resources, and even potential safety hazards.

[0003] Dead space refers to the area in the pipeline where some gases flow slowly or almost stop during the gas replacement process. Since the gas is trapped in the dead space, it is difficult for the newly injected gas to effectively replace the original gas, thereby reducing the overall replacement efficiency. The existence of dead space not only affects the gas replacement efficiency, but also may lead to uneven composition of exported products and safety hazards of flammable, explosive and toxic gases.

[0004] Existing studies on gas displacement characteristics are mostly aimed at large-scale natural gas pipelines or long-distance natural gas transmission pipelines. For example, Chinese patent publication number CN118218334A discloses a purging device and method for LNG pipelines, including a purging pipeline connected to the inlet pipeline of a high-pressure pump and related regulating valves; Chinese patent publication number CN208662011U discloses a nitrogen purging structure for tank truck loading and unloading pipelines. However, traditional studies on gas displacement characteristics mostly use pipelines with specific structures or simple experimental devices for testing. These test devices are usually unable to obtain the changes in gas concentration in complex dead space structures under actual working conditions, and therefore it is difficult to derive the dead space gas displacement law. For different optimization forms of dead space, it is difficult for traditional fixed pipeline testing systems to quickly compare the displacement efficiency of different dead space structures. Summary of the invention

Subsequently, the first stop valve 19 is opened to discharge the high-pressure mixed gas.

[0086] The inflation and evacuation process is cyclically continued until the background gas concentration detected by the gas chromatograph 14 is less than the set replacement required concentration, and then the inflation, evacuation and replacement process is completed.

[0087] Example 6 refer to Figure 2 The pipeline gas replacement characteristic test system based on modular dead space in this embodiment can also perform high-temperature gas replacement. During the high-temperature gas replacement process, the control of the replacement gas flow rate and pressure is the same as in Example 4. The replacement gas is heated by the electric heater 22, and the gas supply temperature is achieved by the temperature sensor 11 monitoring the replacement gas temperature and then controlling the power output of the electric heater 22, thereby achieving high-temperature gas purge replacement of the dead space pipeline.

[0088] Example 7 refer to Figure 1 The pipeline gas replacement characteristic test system based on modular dead space in this embodiment can also perform vacuum replacement.

[0089] In the pipeline gas vacuum replacement characteristic test, the control of replacement gas flow rate, temperature and pressure is the same as in Example 4.

[0090] During the vacuum replacement process, the first stop valve 19 is closed, the second stop valve 20 is opened, and the dead space pipeline 13 to be tested is evacuated using the vacuum pump 21. Subsequently, the second stop valve 20 and the vacuum pump 21 are closed, and the dead space pipeline 13 to be tested is raised to a higher pressure using the replacement gas provided by the replacement gas high-pressure gas cylinder 4.

[0091] The inflation and vacuuming process is circulated until the background gas concentration detected by the gas chromatograph 14 is less than the set replacement required concentration, and then the vacuuming replacement process is completed.

[0092] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solutions of the present invention does not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
