Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cold box insulation, and in particular relates to a liquid hydrogen pump cold box insulation device. Background Art

[0002] Liquid hydrogen pump is a type of cryogenic liquid pump. It is a special pump used to transport cryogenic liquid hydrogen in petroleum, air separation and chemical plants. In order to prevent the temperature of the liquid hydrogen pump from rising and causing the liquid hydrogen to vaporize, the prior art generally requires the use of a special cold box insulation device to keep the liquid hydrogen pump insulated at low temperatures. However, even if the liquid hydrogen pump is operated under strict insulation conditions, the risk of hydrogen leakage cannot be completely eliminated. Liquid hydrogen is a very low-temperature cooling liquid with a boiling point of approximately -253°C, and liquid hydrogen is extremely flammable, so the pump and related systems must be designed to be extremely safe to prevent fire or explosion.

[0003] Most of the existing cold box insulation devices of liquid hydrogen pumps use fixing bolts to fix the cover of the insulation device to the flange of its box during the tightening process. However, during the disassembly and installation of the threaded insulation device, the fixing bolts need to be screwed separately. This loading and unloading method is not only troublesome, but also easy to generate sparks during the screwing process. The ignition point of hydrogen is very low, and only a tiny spark is needed to ignite the hydrogen-air mixture, so there is a safety hazard.

[0004] In summary, there is a need for a liquid hydrogen pump cold box insulation device that is not screw-fastened. Utility Model Content

[0009] A further preferred technical solution is that the thermal insulation cold box is divided into an outer box and an inner box, and the liquid inlet pipe and the air return pipe are both fixedly connected to the inner box.

[0010] A further preferred technical solution is that a cavity is left between the outer box and the inner box, and the cavity is filled with a thermal insulation layer, which includes perlite, silicate insulation material, polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, silicon aerogel, vacuum insulation board and other materials.

[0011] A further preferred technical solution is that a guide rod is fixedly mounted on one side of the screw rod and the guide rod is slidably connected to the moving block.

[0012] A further preferred technical solution is that a limiting sliding groove is provided on the fixed plate and the limiting sliding groove is slidably connected to the movable block.
