DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by "up", "down", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", "top" and "bottom" are all based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose is only to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. It does not indicate or imply that the referred parts must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0017] Depend on Figure 1As shown, a nitrogen water seal tank comprises an upper cylinder 11 and a lower cylinder 3. The upper end of the upper cylinder 11 is connected to a head 12. The upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 3 are connected by a flange 5. A gasket is provided at the connection of the flange 5. A partition 6 is provided between the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 3. The flange bolts pass through the partition 6 to fix the partition 6 with the upper and lower cylinders. A connecting pipe 4 passes through the middle of the partition 6. The upper end opening of the connecting pipe 4 is located in the middle of the upper cylinder 11, and the lower end opening is located in the middle and lower part of the lower cylinder 3, so as to connect the upper and lower cylinders. A water inlet pipe 13, a gas inlet 14 and an air inlet 15 are provided at the top of the upper cylinder 11, respectively. The lower end of the water inlet pipe 13 is located below the upper end opening of the connecting pipe 4. The lower end of the air inlet 15 is lower than the upper end opening of the connecting pipe 4 and higher than the lower end opening of the water inlet pipe 13. The gas inlet 14 is opened at the top of the upper cylinder 11, so that nitrogen can be filled into the cylinder. The side wall of the lower cylinder 3 is provided with a gas outlet 16, and the position of the gas outlet 16 is higher than the lower end opening of the connecting pipe 4. The bottom of the lower cylinder 3 is provided with an overflow port 19 and a drain port 18. A vertical overflow plate 2 is fixed on the bottom plate inside the lower cylinder 3. The overflow plate 2 is located between the overflow port 19 and the drain port 18, and the height of the overflow plate 2 is higher than the bottom opening of the connecting pipe 4.
[0018] Depend on Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the upper cylinder 11 is wrapped with a heat tracing pipe 20, and the two ends of the heat tracing pipe 20 are an upper hot water inlet 10 and an upper hot water outlet 9. Similarly, the outer wall of the lower cylinder 3 is wrapped with a lower heat tracing pipe, and the two ends of the lower heat tracing pipe are a lower hot water inlet 7 and a lower hot water outlet 8. The upper and lower heat tracing pipes play a role of heat tracing, and heat the upper and lower cylinders through hot water circulation. The bottom of the outer wall of the lower cylinder 3 is fixed with a heat preservation support ring 17, and the bottom of the heat preservation support ring 17 is fixed with a support leg 1, so that the upper and lower cylinders are fixed to the ground.
[0019] The lower cylinder 3 contains amine liquid, and water is injected into the upper cylinder 11 through the water inlet 13, and nitrogen is injected into the upper cylinder 11 through the gas inlet 14. When the pressure in the lower cylinder 3 decreases, the nitrogen flows into the lower cylinder through the connecting pipe, which can prevent the amine liquid from contacting with the air. When the pressure in the lower cylinder 3 increases, the nitrogen returns to the upper cylinder 11 through the connecting pipe 4, so that the water level in the upper cylinder 11 rises. When the water surface in the upper cylinder 11 is higher than the upper plane of the connecting pipe 4, water enters the lower cylinder 3 through the connecting pipe 4 and is discharged from the drain port 18 until the height of the water column and the pressure reach a new balance.
[0020] The nitrogen water seal tank can prevent the amine liquid buffer tank from expanding and contracting due to pressure changes and damaging the tank body. Nitrogen is filled into the amine liquid tank to prevent the amine liquid from contacting with the air, and the water seal effectively seals the small amount of hydrogen sulfide gas remaining in the amine liquid tank.
