Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alcohol injection, and particularly relates to a spherical alcohol injection atomizer and a support structure thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the injection-production process system of a gas storage project, a heat exchanger is required to recover and utilize the cold energy in the J-T valve or the air cooler refrigeration treatment device. During cold energy recovery, when the hot-flow wet natural gas containing moisture exchanges heat with the cold-flow dry natural gas, according to the process treatment requirements, the temperature of the hot-flow wet natural gas will be reduced below zero degrees Celsius. In order to prevent the freezing and precipitation of the free water after cooling from blocking the heat exchange tubes, it is necessary to mix ethylene glycol solution into the hot-flow wet natural gas before the heat exchange between the hot and cold media to lower the freezing point of water.
[0003] When injecting ethylene glycol on the hot-flow wet natural gas side of the heat exchanger, the ethylene glycol solution needs to be evenly atomized and fully cover the range where the heat exchange tube inlets are distributed, so that the ethylene glycol solution and the hot-flow wet natural gas are evenly mixed and then enter the heat exchange tubes to effectively lower the freezing point of the free water and prevent freezing and precipitation. However, the existing atomizers or atomization devices can only release the mist through a single point. For a large-area pipe orifice, the mist cannot be evenly distributed, resulting in the freezing and precipitation of some water bodies. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] In addition, in the present invention, terms such as "first", "second" and other similar terms do not intend to imply any order, quantity and importance, but are only used to distinguish different elements. Terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and other similar terms are only the positional relationships in the drawings.
[0023] In the present invention, by providing an annularly arranged flow - guiding pipe, cooperating with a radially arranged flow - guiding pipe, and installing an atomizing nozzle on the annularly arranged flow - guiding pipe, after atomizing the ethylene glycol solution, the purpose of comprehensively covering the inlet of the heat - exchange pipe is achieved. The following is illustrated by specific embodiments.
[0024] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a spherical alcohol injection atomizer, including: a distribution ball 1 and a distributor. As Figure 2 shown, the distributor is annular. The distributor includes a plurality of annular flow - guiding pipes 8 with unequal diameters and a plurality of atomizing nozzles 11 installed at the bottom of the annular flow - guiding pipes 8. The plurality of annular flow - guiding pipes 8 are concentrically arranged. The plurality of annular flow - guiding pipes 8 are connected through a plurality of radial flow - guiding pipes 5. The distribution ball 1 is arranged at the center of the distributor. The plurality of radial flow - guiding pipes 5 are all connected to the distribution ball 1. According to the above settings, the distribution ball 1 functions to connect the external conveying pipeline. After the liquid enters the distribution ball 1, it is divided into multiple radial flow - guiding pipes 5 and flows into the annular flow - guiding pipes 8, and finally is atomized and ejected through the atomizing nozzles 11.
[0025] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the dispenser includes three concentric annular diversion pipes 8. There are 4 radial diversion pipes 5, and the 4 radial diversion pipes 5 are circumferentially equidistantly distributed. There are 8 atomizing nozzles 11 provided on the annular diversion pipe 8 with the smallest diameter, and 16 atomizing nozzles 11 are provided on each of the other two annular diversion pipes 8. The atomizing nozzles 11 on each annular diversion pipe 8 are circumferentially equidistantly distributed.
[0026] In an embodiment of the present application, for the convenience of installation and disassembly of the atomizing nozzle 11, a nozzle seat 9 is installed at each position corresponding to the atomizing nozzle 11 on the annular diversion pipe 8, and the atomizing nozzle 11 is detachably connected to the nozzle seat 9.
[0027] Since the radial diversion pipe 5 and the annular diversion pipe 8 are connected by a circular pipe, and the weight of the annular diversion pipe 8 gradually increases with its diameter, the pressure of the annular diversion pipe 8 on the radial diversion pipe 5 also gradually increases. When the weight of the annular diversion pipe 8 is too large, the radial diversion pipe 5 will be deformed. For this reason, in an embodiment of the present application, a spherical alcohol injection atomizer further includes: a plurality of radially connecting plates 14 that are circumferentially equidistantly distributed, and each radially connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to a plurality of annular diversion pipes 8 at the same time, so as to strengthen the structural strength of the overall dispenser.
[0028] Exemplarily, the number of the radially connecting plates 14 is the same as the number of the radial diversion pipes 5, and the radially connecting plates 14 and the radial diversion pipes 5 are alternately circumferentially equidistantly arranged.
[0029] As Figure 2 shown, in an embodiment of the present application, a single annular diversion pipe 8 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped diversion pipes. The number of the arc-shaped diversion pipes is the same as the number of the radially connecting plates 14. Two end faces of a single arc-shaped diversion pipe are respectively connected to two adjacent radial diversion pipes 5. The arc-shaped diversion pipe is bent along the surface of the radially connecting plate 14 at the position corresponding to the radially connecting plate 14, and the radially connecting plate 14 and the arc-shaped diversion pipe are bolted at this bending position. Correspondingly, a sealing plate 10 is provided at the connection between the radially connecting plate 14 and the arc-shaped diversion pipe to seal the opening of the arc-shaped diversion pipe.
[0030] In an embodiment of the present application, the radial diversion pipe 5 is composed of a plurality of sub-pipes. Adjacent two sub-pipes are connected by a four-way connector 7. A three-way connector 6 is installed at the end of the radial diversion pipe 5 farthest from the distribution ball 1, and the end of the radial diversion pipe 5 closest to the distribution ball 1 is communicated with the distribution ball.
[0031] In one embodiment of the present application, a flange-type distribution pipe 3 is provided at each position corresponding to each radial diversion pipe 5 on the distribution ball 1. Flanges 4 are provided on both the flange-type distribution pipe 3 and the radial diversion pipe 5. The flange 4 on the flange-type distribution pipe 3 is paired with the flange 4 on the radial diversion pipe 5 one by one, and the two corresponding flanges 4 are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides a support structure applicable to the above-mentioned spherical alcohol injection atomizer. The atomizer is installed on the support structure. The support structure includes: a support base, an end fixing pipe 15, an end fixing plate 16, and an annular base. Among them, the support base is composed of a support pipe 12 and a connecting plate 13. The connecting plate 13 is integrally provided at the top of the support pipe 12. The connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the mounting flange provided at the bottom of the distribution ball 1. The annular base surrounds the entire atomizer. End fixing plates 16 are provided at the ends corresponding to the radial diversion pipes 5 and the radial connecting plates 14 on the annular base. Among them, the end of the radial connecting plate 14 is inserted into the end fixing pipe 15. The end fixing pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the corresponding end fixing plate 16, and the radial connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the corresponding end fixing plate 16.
[0033] In addition, it should be noted that the size of the annular base should be determined according to the size of the wellhead. The annular base should be larger than the inner diameter of the wellhead so that the annular base can be installed on the wellhead. Similarly, the number of annular diversion pipes 8 should also be determined according to the size of the wellhead. The larger the wellhead diameter, the more the number of annular diversion pipes 8. Similarly, the larger the diameter of the annular diversion pipe 8, the more the atomizing nozzles 11 installed on the annular diversion pipe 8.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
