Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of methanol storage, in particular to an external temperature-reducing and heat-insulating methanol storage device. Background Art

[0002] Methanol, also known as hydroxymethane, wood alcohol or wood spirit, is an organic compound. It is a colorless, transparent, volatile liquid with a pungent odor. It is easily soluble in water and can also be miscible with most organic solvents such as alcohols and ether. Methanol has a wide range of uses, such as fuel, solvent, pharmaceutical intermediate, organic synthesis raw material and antifreeze. The container for storing methanol should be strong, durable and have good sealing properties. Commonly used storage containers include steel tanks, plastic barrels and stainless steel containers.

[0003] After searching, a Chinese patent with publication number CN219602165U discloses a methanol fuel storage device. In view of the lack of a pressure relief device in a small storage box, when the pressure in the storage box is too high and cannot be automatically relieved, the storage box may be deformed or even exploded, posing a great safety hazard. Therefore, the device has a simple structure and does not require manual cooling and pressure reduction of the fuel, thereby ensuring the storage of the fuel and improving the safety factor of the storage room.

[0004] There are still some shortcomings in the use of the above-mentioned methanol storage device. During the storage of methanol, it is usually not convenient to cool down the methanol with a high temperature. If the temperature inside the storage tank rises due to external factors, the chemical reaction rate of methanol will be accelerated, increasing the methanol concentration in the air, thereby increasing the risk of combustion and explosion, and reducing the safety during storage.
