Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of propane pressurization and extraction, in particular to a pressurization and extraction process between a tank truck and a propane storage tank. Background Art
[0002] Liquefied gas tank trucks, also known as LPG transport trucks, are special vehicles used to transport liquefied gases such as propane, propylene, dimethyl ether, liquid ammonia, methylamine, and acetaldehyde. The main function of propane storage tanks is to store propane so that it can be supplied to industrial equipment or households when needed. When transporting propane, the tank truck and the propane storage tank can form a pressure difference by pressurizing and pumping out pressure to enable the transport of propane. However, the existing pressurization and pumping process between the tank truck and the propane storage tank generally discharges the remaining gas phase in the tank truck into the atmosphere through venting after unloading the propane liquid phase. This is both unsafe and wasteful. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The problem solved by the present invention is to provide a pressurization and pressure reduction process between the tank truck and the propane storage tank. Through technical breakthroughs, the unloading process is improved, and the remaining gas phase in the tank truck can be pumped into the tank truck, solving the problem of venting the remaining gas phase in the tank truck.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a process for pressurizing and depressurizing a tank truck and a propane storage tank, comprising the following steps: step 1, treating residual liquid in the tank; step 2, inspecting the tank before filling; step 3, pressurizing and depressurizing the propane; step 4, inspecting after filling; and step 5, marking for storage.
[0005] In step 1, when the residual liquid in the cylinder reaches 1 kg, it is necessary to empty the residual liquid. Pour the residual liquid into the residual liquid tank by positive pressure. Check the pressure difference between the high-pressure gas phase pipe and the residual liquid tank. When the pressure difference reaches 2 kg / h, start emptying the residual liquid. Use the high-pressure gas in the bottle to push the residual liquid back into the residual liquid tank until the residual liquid is emptied.
[0006] In step 2, the gas cylinders are inspected before filling, including the production date, factory number, manufacturer, inspection cycle, etc. of the gas cylinders. Expired gas cylinders or gas cylinders with defects in appearance are inspected and only those that pass the inspection can be filled;
[0007] In step three, during unloading, the gas phase in the storage tank is pressurized to the tank truck through the circulation compressor, forming a pressure difference of 0.2-0.5 MPa, so that the pressure of the tank truck is greater than the pressure of the storage tank. The propane in the tank truck automatically flows into the storage tank through the pressure difference. When the liquid phase of the tank truck is unloaded, the inlet and outlet directions of the circulation compressor are adjusted to pump the propane gas phase in the tank truck into the storage tank, and the propane in the tank truck can be completely pumped out.
[0008] In step 4, after filling, the gas cylinder is leak-checked and reweighed to ensure there are no leaks or overfilling.
[0009] In step five, the gas tanks that pass the inspection are marked and then stored.
[0010] Preferably, in step 5, the place where propane is stored should be kept cool, well-ventilated, and away from fire and heat sources; the storage temperature should not exceed 30°C, and it should be stored separately from oxidants, halogens, etc., and should not be mixed.
[0011] Preferably, in step three, the tank truck includes a tank truck body, a pipe clamping assembly, a gas pipe, a gas joint assembly and a protective cover. A pipe clamping assembly is installed on the outer wall of one side of the tank truck body.

[0013] Preferably, the gas joint assembly includes a valve, a fixing ring, a threaded sleeve, a slip ring, a sealing gasket and a buckle. The valve is installed on the gas pipe, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the gas pipe, a slip ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of one side of the fixing ring, a threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the slip ring, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the threaded sleeve, and a buckle is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the threaded sleeve.
[0014] Preferably, a circulating compressor is installed on the inner wall of the bottom end of the tank truck body, and one end of the output pipe of the circulating compressor is connected to the outer wall of the gas pipeline.
[0015] Preferably, a temperature regulator is installed on one inner wall of the tank truck body, and the electrical output end of the tank truck body is electrically connected to the electrical input end of the temperature regulator.

[0033] In step 1, when the residual liquid in the cylinder reaches 1 kg, it is necessary to empty the residual liquid. Pour the residual liquid into the residual liquid tank by positive pressure. Check the pressure difference between the high-pressure gas phase pipe and the residual liquid tank. When the pressure difference reaches 2 kg / h, start emptying the residual liquid. Use the high-pressure gas in the bottle to push the residual liquid back into the residual liquid tank until the residual liquid is emptied.
[0034] In step 2, the gas cylinders are inspected before filling, including the production date, factory number, manufacturer, inspection cycle, etc. of the gas cylinders. Expired gas cylinders or gas cylinders with defects in appearance are inspected and only those that pass the inspection can be filled;
[0035] In step three, during unloading, the gas phase in the storage tank is pressurized to the tank truck through the circulation compressor, forming a pressure difference of 0.2-0.5 MPa, so that the pressure of the tank truck is greater than the pressure of the storage tank. The propane in the tank truck automatically flows into the storage tank through the pressure difference. When the liquid phase of the tank truck is unloaded, the inlet and outlet directions of the circulation compressor are adjusted to pump the propane gas phase in the tank truck into the storage tank, and the propane in the tank truck can be completely pumped out.
[0036] In step 4, after filling, the gas cylinder is leak-checked and reweighed to ensure there are no leaks or overfilling.
[0037] In step five, mark the gas tanks that have passed the inspection and then store them; in step five, the place where propane is stored should be kept cool, well-ventilated, and away from fire and heat sources; the storage temperature should not exceed 30°C, and it should be stored separately from oxidants, halogens, etc., and must not be mixed.

[0040] The pipe clamping assembly 2 includes a motor 201, an elliptical wheel 202, a connecting ring 203, a guide hole 204, a pipe pad 205, a movable plate 206, a clamping arc plate 207, a movable rod 208, a connecting disk 209, a spring 2010 and an extrusion arc plate 2011.

The connection is sealed by the sealing gasket 405, and then the valve 401 is opened to allow propane to be injected into the storage tank through the gas pipe 3 through the pressure difference.
[0044] When transporting propane, first insert the gas pipe 3 into the tank interface, then screw the threaded sleeve 403 to make the slip ring 404 on the threaded sleeve 403 rotate along the fixing ring 402, so that the gas pipe 3 is fixed to the tank interface, and the connection is sealed by the sealing gasket 405.
