DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 In this embodiment, a chlor-alkali gas online monitoring and analysis machine proposed includes a cabinet 10, a pretreatment system, a hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 and a chlorine analyzer 21. The pretreatment system, the hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 and the chlorine analyzer 21 are all arranged inside the cabinet 10. The air inlet end of the pretreatment system for treating the sample gas is connected to the sample inlet 17, and the air outlet end is connected to the air inlet end of the hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 and the chlorine analyzer 21. The outlet end of the hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 and the chlorine analyzer 21 is connected to the sample return port 14.

[0024] The hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 includes a fluorescent lamp and an ultraviolet fluorescence sensor; the sample gas after being processed by the pretreatment system enters the hydrogen chloride analyzer 20, and the molecules of the substance in the ground state are irradiated by the excitation light (i.e., ultraviolet light) of the fluorescent lamp, and absorb the excitation energy, and the molecules of the substance are in an excited state. A part of the energy of the excited state molecules is consumed in vibration, so the molecules are in a vibration energy level, and when they return to the ground state from the vibration energy level, the excess energy is released in other forms, namely, fluorescence, and different substances can emit fluorescence of different wavelengths. The ultraviolet fluorescence sensor collects the fluorescence emitted at different wavelengths, and judges different substances and contents according to the fluorescence of different light colors and the intensity of the fluorescence, and measures and analyzes the precise gas concentration content of hydrogen chloride.

[0025] The chlorine analyzer 21 includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a micro heater and a computing unit. The first sensor and the second sensor in the present embodiment are both thermal conductivity sensors. The first sensor is arranged at the front end of the gas path, the micro heater is arranged between the first sensor and the second sensor, and is connected to the first sensor and the second sensor through the gas path, and the computing unit establishes a data transmission connection with the first sensor and the second sensor. The sample gas treated by the pretreatment system first passes through the first sensor, and hydrogen reacts with chlorine in the micro heater. Then it passes through the second sensor, and through two independent measurements, the heat conduction rate and the temperature difference are measured. The computing unit can calculate the thermal conductivity of the gas, compare the changes in the thermal conductivity coefficient of the gas before and after the two times and perform the operation, and can accurately display the content of hydrogen and chlorine.

[0026] A power connection box 11 and a signal connection box 13 are hung on the outside of one side of the cabinet 10. The power connection box 11 is located above the signal connection box 13. A switch group 12 for controlling the opening and closing of various devices in the analyzer is arranged between the power connection box 11 and the signal connection box 13. In order to facilitate transportation and use, a top cover 31 is arranged on the top of the cabinet 10, and hanging ears 32 for lifting the cabinet 10 are arranged on both sides of the top cover 31.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that the pretreatment system of this embodiment includes a nanotube 22, a capsule filter 23, a coalescer 24, an air pressure regulating filter 26 and a gas-liquid separation tank 28. The nanotube 22 is a new type of moisture exchange material, which removes moisture from the sample gas based on the humidity difference between the inside and outside of the tube. Specifically, in conjunction with this example, the nanotube 22 removes water through the flow difference and pressure difference between the sample gas path and the nitrogen purge gas path. The water vapor enters the nitrogen purge gas path from the sample gas path and then enters the gas-liquid separation tank 28 after passing through the coalescer 24.

[0028] In this embodiment, two gas-liquid separation tanks 28 are arranged in series up and down, one end of the gas-liquid separation tank 28 is connected to the sample inlet 17, and the other end is connected to the drain port 19. A diaphragm valve 25 for opening and closing the gas pipeline is arranged on the pipeline between the gas-liquid separation tank 28 and the sample inlet 17, a needle valve 27 is arranged between the two gas-liquid separation tanks 28, and a diaphragm valve 25 is also arranged on the pipeline between the gas-liquid separation tank 28 and the drain port 19.

The diaphragm valve 25 has a simple structure, good sealing and anti-corrosion performance, small fluid resistance, and can be controlled pneumatically or electrically.

[0029] One air inlet end of the coalescer 24 is connected to each gas-liquid separation tank 28, and the air outlet end of the other end is connected to the air inlet end of the capsule filter 23, and a needle valve 27 is provided on the pipeline connecting the coalescer 24 and the gas-liquid separation tank 28 at the lower end. The capsule filter 23 has a large filtering area and can process a large amount of fluid to improve the flux. The air outlet end of the capsule filter 23 is connected to the air inlet end of the nano-distribution tube 22, and a diaphragm valve 25 is provided between the air outlet end of the capsule filter 23 and the air inlet end of the nano-distribution tube 22. The air outlet end of the nano-distribution tube 22 is connected to the air inlet end of the hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 and the chlorine analyzer 21, and the nano-distribution tube 22 is also connected to the nitrogen discharge port 18.

[0030] It should be noted that a calibration gas circuit and a purge gas circuit are also provided in this embodiment. The air inlet end of the nano-distribution tube 22 is connected to the calibration port 16, and a diaphragm valve 25 is provided on the pipeline connecting the calibration port 16 and the nano-distribution tube 22. The air inlet end of the nano-distribution tube 22 and the capsule filter 23 is also connected to a nitrogen inlet 15 for conveying nitrogen purge, and an air pressure regulating filter 26, a needle valve 27 and a flow meter 29 are sequentially provided on the pipeline between the nitrogen inlet 15 and the nano-distribution tube 22. The air outlet end of the air pressure regulating filter 26 and the air inlet end of the needle valve 27 are connected to the air inlet end of the capsule filter 23 through a pipeline, and a diaphragm valve 25 is provided between the air pressure regulating filter 26 and the capsule filter 23.

[0031] In order to measure the sample gas discharged through the sample return port 14 , a flow meter 29 for detecting the gas flow is provided on the pipeline connecting the outlet ends of the hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 and the chlorine analyzer 21 with the sample return port 14 .

[0032] In order to ensure that the temperature inside the cabinet 10 is within a relatively constant range, an electric heater 30 is further provided in the online monitoring and analysis machine for chlor-alkali gas in this embodiment, and the electric heater 30 is provided at the lower part of the cabinet 10, and a temperature monitor used in conjunction therewith is also provided inside the cabinet 10. Maintaining the ambient temperature inside the cabinet 10 is conducive to improving the accuracy of monitoring the sample gas.

[0033] In order to facilitate the connection with the external gas pipeline, the sample return port 14, the nitrogen inlet 15, the calibration port 16, the sample inlet 17, the nitrogen exhaust port 18 and the drain port 19 all pass through the side of the cabinet 10, and the sample return port 14, the nitrogen inlet 15, the calibration port 16, the sample inlet 17 and the drain port 19 are arranged on one side of the cabinet 10 from top to bottom, the nitrogen exhaust port 18 is arranged on the other side of the cabinet 10, and the nitrogen exhaust port 18 is located below the signal junction box 13.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] First, the calibration gas is introduced through the calibration port 16 and the nano-distribution tube 22 to calibrate the hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 and the chlorine analyzer 21. Then the sample gas to be detected enters the pretreatment system through the sample inlet 17 for sample gas impurity removal and purification. The sample gas passes through the gas-liquid separation tank 28 for gas-liquid separation, and further removes the liquid in the sample gas and filters through the coalescer 24 and the capsule filter 23. Nitrogen enters the air pressure regulating filter 26 through the nitrogen inlet 15 and enters the nano-distribution tube 22 after filtration. Water is further removed through the flow difference and pressure difference between the sample gas path and the nitrogen gas path. The water vapor enters the nitrogen purge gas path from the sample gas path, passes through the coalescer 24, enters the gas-liquid separation tank 28, and is discharged from the cabinet 10 through the drain port 19. The nitrogen is discharged from the cabinet 10 through the nitrogen discharge port 18. The sample gas treated by the pretreatment system enters the hydrogen chloride analyzer 20 and the chlorine analyzer 21, and the chlorine and hydrogen chloride gases are monitored and analyzed respectively.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
