Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ethylene storage tanks, in particular to a safety ethylene storage tank. Background Art
[0002] A sealed container for storing liquid or gas is called a storage tank. Ethylene is a low-temperature liquid phase refrigerant and the simplest olefin. It is a basic chemical raw material for synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, synthetic plastics, and synthetic ethanol. One of its storage methods is to store it in a normal pressure low-temperature storage tank, usually in a storage tank.
[0003] When optimizing existing ethylene storage tanks, most of the focus is on improving their safety and the safety and environmental friendliness of the gas during transportation. For example, the invention patent with application number CN201110143811.3 discloses "A liquid ethylene storage tank and a liquid ethylene storage and gasification system using the storage tank, and a liquid ethylene gasification method". The storage tank includes: an outer tank, an inner tank for storing liquid ethylene, an insulating material, an input pipe for inputting liquid ethylene into the inner tank, a delivery pump for pressurizing the liquid ethylene, a delivery pump well for outputting the pressurized liquid ethylene, and an output pipe for delivering the liquid ethylene to the device for use; the outer tank is a hollow flat The bottom arch is a closed container with the lower bottom surface on the ground or foundation; the inner tank is inside the outer tank, which is a hollow cylindrical flat-bottomed cup-shaped container, and an open circular ceiling is set to connect with the outer tank arch through a hanger; the insulation material fills the space between the inner and outer tanks; the input pipe passes through the outer tank arch, the insulation material and the inner tank ceiling in sequence to communicate with the inner tank; the delivery pump well passes through the inner tank ceiling, the insulation material and the outer tank arch in sequence to be connected with the output pipe outside the outer tank; the delivery pump is located below the liquid level in the delivery pump well, which can prevent the storage tank from rupturing and the cavitation of the delivery pump, and avoid the existence of cavitation in the delivery pump, which causes vibration during the operation of the pump and then damages the pump, causing economic losses and safety and environmental protection problems.
[0004] Although the above-mentioned ethylene storage tanks have certain advantages in improving their safety and the safety and environmental protection of gas during transportation, they still have certain disadvantages: ethylene is a low-temperature liquid refrigerant. During the storage process, it will partially vaporize and the tank pressure will increase. When the pressure of the ethylene storage tank is ≥1.0MPa, the safety valve will trip and release the pressure to the flare. If a refrigerant circulation system is not added, it is easy to cause refrigerant loss and waste. Utility Model Content
