Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil storage technology, specifically to a breathing pressure blocking component, an oil storage tank, and an oil storage system. Background Technology

[0002] When storing oil, the pressure inside oil storage tanks fluctuates due to changes in environmental factors such as temperature and pressure. To ensure the safe operation of oil storage tanks, breather respirators are required. However, in related technologies, the breather respirators are installed at a high position. When the desiccant (silica gel) becomes damp and discolored and needs to be replaced, scaffolding or A-frame ladders must be erected. The disassembly and assembly process requires at least several people to cooperate and poses risks of working at height. Furthermore, oil mist is easily generated in the turbine oil tank room during oil handling, and due to poor ventilation, oil mist and odors can be present inside the tank room. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention propose a breathing pressure blocking assembly including a connecting pipe and a container breathing protector. One end of the connecting pipe is used to connect to the vent of the oil storage tank. The two ends of the connecting pipe have different orientations and are spaced apart in a preset direction. The container breathing protector is located at the other end of the connecting pipe.

[0005] The breathing pressure blocking assembly of this invention significantly lowers the installation position of the container breathing protector, eliminating the need for maintenance personnel to work at heights and reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.

[0006] In some embodiments, the diameter of the other end of the connecting pipe is smaller than the diameter of the first end. Reducing the pipe diameter from the vent to the oil mist breather increases the flow velocity and local resistance, thereby enhancing the throttling effect, aiding in the capture of oil mist particles within the pipe, achieving oil mist filtration, and reducing oil mist odor and unpleasant smells in the oil tank chamber.

[0007] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe includes a first pipe segment, a second pipe segment, a third pipe segment, and a fourth pipe segment, which are connected in sequence. The end of the first pipe segment away from the second pipe segment forms one end of the connecting pipe. The first pipe segment is parallel to the third pipe segment, and the end of the fourth pipe segment away from the third pipe segment forms the other end of the connecting pipe.

[0008] In some embodiments, the fourth tube segment is a bent tube and includes a first connecting part, a second connecting part and a third connecting part connected in sequence. The first connecting part is connected to the third tube segment, the third connecting part is connected to the container breathing protector, and the third connecting part is parallel to the first tube segment.

[0009] In some embodiments, the breathing pressure-blocking assembly includes a valve, which is provided on the second connection portion. Oil droplets filtered by the oil mist filter enter the second connection portion of the fourth pipe section and can be discharged by opening the valve, preventing oil droplets from accumulating in the second connection portion. This ensures the normal operation of the oil mist filter and the oil mist respirator, reducing the occurrence of malfunctions.

[0010] In some embodiments, the breathing pressure equalization blockade assembly includes a support, one end of which is connected to the third pipe section, and the other end of which is connected to the oil storage tank. The support provides additional support to the entire breathing pressure equalization blockade assembly, increasing its stability.

[0011] In some embodiments, the breathing pressure blocking assembly includes an oil mist filter disposed between the container breathing protector and the other end of the connecting tube.

[0012] The oil storage tank of this invention includes a tank body and the breathing pressure blocking assembly, with one end of the connecting pipe connected to the vent of the tank body.

[0013] In some embodiments, the oil storage tank includes a measuring tape, which is disposed on the tank body.

[0014] The oil storage system of this invention includes the breathing pressure blocking component or the oil storage tank. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention: a breathing pressure blocking component 100, an oil storage tank 1000, and an oil storage system 10000.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the oil storage tank 1000 of this embodiment of the invention includes a tank body 200 and a breathing pressure blocking assembly 100.

[0021] The breathing pressure blocking assembly 100 of this embodiment includes a connecting pipe 1 and a container breathing protector 2. One end of the connecting pipe 1 is used to connect to the vent of the tank body 200 of the oil storage tank 1000. The two ends of the connecting pipe 1 are oriented differently, and the two ends of the connecting pipe 1 are in a preset direction (e.g., Figure 1 The container breathing protector 2 is located at the other end of the connecting tube 1, spaced apart in the vertical direction.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the vent is located at the top of the tank body 200 of the oil storage tank 1000, and one end of the connecting pipe 1 faces downward and is connected to the vent. The other end of the connecting pipe 1 has a different orientation than the first end, and the other end of the connecting pipe 1 is spaced apart from the first end in the vertical direction. Therefore, the connecting pipe 1 can extend from the first end to the lower side of the tank body 200, so that the other end of the connecting pipe 1 is located at the lower part of the tank body 200. This allows the container breathing protector 2 to be connected to the vent, thereby changing the installation position of the container breathing protector 2. This allows the container breathing protector 2 to be located at a lower position for easy observation, inspection, and replacement by personnel, thereby reducing maintenance costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0023] Therefore, the breathing pressure blocking component 100 of this embodiment of the invention significantly lowers the installation position of the container breathing protector 2, eliminating the need for maintenance personnel to work at heights and reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.

[0024] Specifically, container breathing protector 2 is an oil mist breathing protector.

[0025] Furthermore, the breathing pressure-equalizing blocking assembly 100 includes an oil mist filter 5, which is located between the container breathing protector and the other end of the connecting pipe 1. The oil mist filter 5 is installed before the oil mist breather to achieve oil mist filtration.

[0026] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 1 includes a first pipe segment 11, a second pipe segment 12, a third pipe segment 13, and a fourth pipe segment 14, which are connected sequentially. The end of the first pipe segment 11 facing away from the second pipe segment 12 (the lower end) forms one end of the connecting pipe 1. The first pipe segment 11 is parallel to the third pipe segment 13. The end of the fourth pipe segment 14 facing away from the third pipe segment 13 forms the other end of the connecting pipe 1. The first pipe segment 11, the second pipe segment 12, and the third pipe segment 13 form a bend, which allows the other end of the connecting pipe 1 to be lowered.

[0027] Specifically, the first pipe section 11, the second pipe section 12, the third pipe section 13 and the fourth pipe section 14 are all fixed by fastening bolts.

[0028] Specifically, the first pipe section 11, the second pipe section 12, the third pipe section 13, and the fourth pipe section 14 are all made of stainless steel and painted. The joints are all welded with matching flanges. After the flange welding is completed, PT flaw detection is performed. The weld is required to be free of cracks, incomplete penetration, slag inclusions, undercut, misalignment, weld beads, arc craters, surface porosity, sand holes, poor joints, root shrinkage, and other defects. Before installation, the flange surfaces should be checked to be flat, clean, and free of high points. Polytetrafluoroethylene gaskets are used as sealing gaskets and installed between the corresponding two flanges. The corresponding flanges are connected with fastening bolts.

[0029] The fourth pipe section 14 is a bent pipe and includes a first connecting part 141, a second connecting part 142 and a third connecting part 143 connected in sequence. The first connecting part 141 is connected to the third pipe section 13, the third connecting part 143 is connected to the container breathing protector 2, and the third connecting part 143 is parallel to the first pipe section 11.

[0030] Furthermore, the breathing pressure-blocking assembly 100 includes a valve 3, which is located on the second connection portion 142. The second connection portion 142 is located in the lower section of the fourth pipe section 14. Oil droplets filtered by the oil mist filter 5 enter the second connection portion 142 of the fourth pipe section 14 and can be discharged by opening the valve 3, preventing oil droplets from accumulating in the second connection portion 142. This ensures the normal use of the oil mist filter 5 and the oil mist respirator, reducing the occurrence of malfunctions.

[0031] Specifically, the valve is a stainless steel ball valve, used to periodically remove accumulated oil from the pipe.

[0032] Furthermore, the diameter of the other end of connecting pipe 1 is smaller than the diameter of the first end. This reduces the pipe diameter from the vent to the oil mist breather, thereby increasing the flow velocity and local resistance, which in turn enhances the throttling effect, helps capture oil mist particles in the pipe, achieves oil mist filtration, and reduces oil mist odor and other unpleasant smells in the oil tank room.

[0033] Specifically, the diameter of the fourth pipe section 14 is smaller than that of the first pipe section 11, the nominal diameter of the second pipe section 12 is 80mm, the nominal diameter of the third pipe section 13 is 65mm, and the nominal diameter of the fourth pipe section 14 is 25mm. The second connection part 142 is 1m above the ground to facilitate personnel operation of opening and closing the valve 3.

[0034] Specifically, the size of the oil mist respirator will affect the replacement cycle of the desiccant. The appropriate respirator can be selected according to the site environment. For example, the oil mist respirator is 4KG in size, the installation position is 1.5 meters above the ground, and the oil mist filter 5 is model KF25.

[0035] In some embodiments, the breathing pressure equalization blockage assembly 100 includes a support 4, one end of which is connected to a third pipe section 13, and the other end of which is used to connect to an oil storage tank 1000. The support 4 provides auxiliary support to the entire breathing pressure equalization blockage assembly 100, increasing its stability.

[0036] The oil storage tank 1000 of this embodiment includes an oil gauge 300, which is mounted on the tank body 200. The oil gauge 300 allows workers to easily observe the oil level in each storage tank 1000. It is a dedicated gauge for measuring the liquid level or space height within the tank, playing a crucial role in the measurement process. By measuring the oil level, the volume of oil in the tank can be calculated, further determining the quantity and quality of the oil. Furthermore, the oil gauge 300 can also be used to verify the accuracy of the tank level gauge, ensuring that the gauge reading matches the actual oil level. When using the oil gauge 300, attention must be paid to its measuring range and accuracy, as well as proper usage and maintenance to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results. A breathing pressure-blocking component 100 is added to prevent oil mist leakage and ensure a safe environment inside the tank.

[0037] Furthermore, the oil storage tank 1000 is equipped with a ladder to facilitate workers to reach the top of the oil storage tank 1000 as needed for their work.

[0038] The oil storage system 10000 of this invention includes a breathing pressure-equalizing blocking component 100 or an oil storage tank 1000.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the oil storage system 10000 is equipped with two sludge oil tanks and two clean oil tanks. Specifically, the two oil storage tanks 1000 are sludge oil tanks, and the two oil storage tanks 1000 are clean oil tanks. One clean oil tank is left empty, and the other clean oil tank is filled with qualified turbine oil for use by one unit. The two sludge oil tanks are left empty for draining oil during unit maintenance.

[0040] After adopting the breathing pressure blocking component 100 of this invention, the frequency and economic and time costs of replacing the desiccant in oil-filled respirators for maintenance personnel are greatly reduced. For example, in previous years, the desiccant needed to be replaced almost every quarter, requiring approximately 20 kg per quarter. With a cost of 100 yuan per kg of desiccant, each replacement required 3 people and took 1.5 hours per 10 kg. This project can save approximately 8,000 yuan in economic costs and about 36 hours of time annually.

[0041] The breathing pressure blocking assembly 100 of this invention can be applied to large oil storage tanks in refineries, oil fields, oil depots and other industries. It has a wide range of applications, good practical effect and wide applicability.
