Description

Technical Field

[0002] Liquefied natural gas is mainly composed of methane and is recognized as the cleanest fossil energy on earth. It is colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. Its volume is about 1 / 625 of the volume of the same amount of gaseous natural gas, and its mass is only about 45% of the same volume of water. In the process of natural gas extraction, formation water or working fluid will inevitably be introduced. Therefore, sampling and analysis of this liquid plays an important guiding role in the extraction of natural gas.

[0003] After natural gas is extracted from the ground, liquid natural gas is generally stored in storage tanks. During this process, the liquid natural gas in the storage tank needs to be tested through the sampling port to ensure its safety during storage, transportation, and use. In some school-enterprise cooperation projects, laboratories are required to test liquid natural gas. At present, when laboratories sample liquid natural gas, they usually use a sampling needle to directly puncture the liquefied natural gas and suck the liquid natural gas into the sampling bottle. However, in the process of transferring the liquefied natural gas in the sampling needle to the sampling bottle, the temperature rise during the transportation process can easily cause the liquefied natural gas to vaporize, which will affect the accuracy of the test results provided by the laboratory. In addition, at present, the size of the liquid natural gas sampler is large. In order to prevent mutual interference between samples when sampling at multiple points in the storage tank, it is necessary to prepare multiple sample storage devices, which is very inconvenient.
