[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-2 This invention provides a real-time thermal effect moisture loss monitoring and gas permeability measurement device, comprising:
[0034] Test chamber 1 has a sealed interior.
[0035] An adjusting component is installed inside the test chamber 1. The adjusting component is used to adjust the temperature and humidity inside the test chamber 1.
[0036] The measuring component includes a monitoring device 2 and a permeation device 3. The monitoring end of the monitoring device 2 is fixedly connected to the permeation device 3 via a vertical line 4. The permeation device 3 is located at the bottom of the test chamber 1 and is set at an angle with the bottom of the test chamber 1.
[0037] The gas injection device is installed on the test chamber 1. The gas injection device is connected to the permeation device 3 through a buffer and is used to inject gas into the rock sample 5 inside the permeation device 3.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, during use, the temperature and humidity inside the test chamber 1 are adjusted by the set adjustment component, and gas is injected into the permeation device 3 by the set gas injection component. The monitoring device 2 is used to monitor the mass of the permeation device 3. The vertical line 4 is a rigid measuring line of fixed length and will not change in length. Therefore, through force analysis, it can be known that the mass monitored in real time is the total mass of the permeation device 3, thereby obtaining the moisture change of the rock sample 5 under different temperatures, humidity and gas conditions.
[0039] As an optional implementation, the permeation device 3 includes a housing 31, with pressure heads 32 threaded to both ends of the housing 31. The rock sample 5 is installed inside the housing 31 through the two pressure heads 32. The two pressure heads 32 are respectively provided with an air inlet 33 and an air outlet 34. The air inlet 33 is connected to a buffer.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rock sample 5 is limited and connected to the housing 31 by the pressure head 32, and the two ends are respectively provided with an air inlet 33 and an exhaust outlet 34 for gas flow.
[0041] As an optional implementation, permeable stones 35 are provided at both ends of the rock sample 5, and the diameter of the permeable stones 35 is smaller than the diameter of the rock sample 5.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, permeable stones 35 are connected to both ends of the rock sample 5. The diameter of the permeable stones 35 is slightly smaller than that of the rock sample 5, so that together with the pressure head 32, they can play a side sealing role.
[0043] As an optional implementation, the regulating components include a heating device 6 and a humidity generator 7. The heating device 6 is used to regulate the temperature inside the test chamber 1, and the humidity generator 7 is used to regulate the humidity inside the test chamber 1.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heating device 6 is preferably an electric heating device, which heats the inside of the test chamber 1 and adjusts its internal temperature to a specified value. The humidity generator 7 adjusts the humidity inside the test chamber 1 by compressing external air.
[0045] As an optional implementation, the gas injection component includes a gas cylinder 8, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the test chamber 1, and the output end of the gas cylinder 8 is connected to the buffer component through a pipe 9.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, gas is supplied to the permeation device 3 through the gas cylinder 8 to realize the change of moisture in the rock sample 5 under the action of gas transmission, and to evaluate the gas permeability of the rock sample 5 in real time.
[0047] As an optional implementation, the buffer includes a flexible hose 10, with both ends of the flexible hose 10 connected to the pipe 9 and the air inlet 33, respectively.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flexible hose 10 is used to connect the pipe 9 and the air inlet 33 to buffer the gas delivered by the gas cylinder 8.
[0049] As an optional implementation, the flexible hose 10 has a V-shaped structure.
[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, the gas input from the gas cylinder 8 is buffered by a V-shaped flexible hose 10. Specifically, the flexible hose 10 can be fixed to the base of the test chamber 1 by a buckle. This part is mainly to prevent it from being stressed, so that all the force is borne by the vertical rod and the grounding structure of the pressure head, ensuring the accuracy of the test and ensuring that the gas delivery process will not have a supporting force on the pressure.
[0051] As an optional implementation, a pressure gauge and a valve are installed on pipe 9.
[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the injection of gas is controlled by a valve.
[0053] As an optional implementation, one corner of the pressure head 32 with the air inlet 33 contacts the bottom of the inside of the test chamber 1, and the included angle between the pressure head 32 and the bottom of the inside of the test chamber 1 is 30°-45°.
[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressure head 32 near the pipe 9 is used to contact the bottom of the inside of the test chamber 1 to support the entire permeation device 3.
[0055] A method for real-time monitoring of thermal moisture loss and measuring gas permeability includes the following steps:
[0056] The permeation device 3 is suspended inside the test chamber 1 via the monitoring device 2, and an angle is formed between the permeation device 3 and the bottom of the test chamber 1.
[0057] The temperature and humidity inside test chamber 1 are regulated by adjusting the adjustment components and maintained for at least 0.5 hours;
[0058] The quality data of the permeation device 3 under the above-mentioned temperature and humidity conditions are obtained by the monitoring device 2;
[0059] Gas is injected into the permeation device 3 through the gas injection component, and the quality data of the permeation device 3 during the gas injection process is obtained through the monitoring device 2.
[0060] The water loss of rock sample 5 was calculated using the obtained mass data.
[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, when in use, the humidity and temperature conditions to be tested are first determined, and the humidity and temperature inside the test chamber 1 are adjusted by the humidity generator 7 and the heating device 6 respectively to reach the target conditions and maintain them for more than 0.5 hours. During this process, the mass change of the permeation device 3 during the process is obtained by the monitoring device 2. This change is the real-time moisture change of the rock sample 5 under the temperature and humidity conditions.
[0062] Furthermore, the valve is opened, and gas is injected through gas cylinder 8. The gas permeability is measured. This process is a conventional steady-state measurement. During this process, the mass change of monitoring device 2 is the mass change caused by the interaction between gas and water during the gas injection process.
[0063] After the gas permeation test is completed, the real-time moisture loss due to gas migration can be obtained by monitoring the changes in device 2.
[0064] This device can obtain real-time moisture changes of samples under the influence of temperature, humidity, and real-time gas transmission, thereby more accurately evaluating the gas permeability of the sample under real-time conditions.
