Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of natural gas water hydrocarbon dew point detection equipment, in particular to a natural gas water hydrocarbon dew point instrument pre-processing device. Background Art

[0002] The natural gas water and hydrocarbon dew point meter is an important instrument used to detect the content of water and hydrocarbon compounds in natural gas. Its main purpose is to ensure the stability of the quality of natural gas extracted from underground during pipeline transmission. After being extracted from underground, natural gas is often rich in water vapor and hydrocarbon compounds. If these substances are not treated, they may corrode the pipeline or condense into ice in the pipeline, thereby affecting the transmission efficiency and safety of natural gas.

[0003] The working principle of the natural gas water and hydrocarbon dew point meter is usually based on measuring the dew point temperature of the gas. The dew point temperature refers to the temperature at which the water or hydrocarbon compounds in the gas begin to condense into liquid. By measuring this temperature, the content of water and hydrocarbon compounds in the gas can be inferred.

[0004] For the multi-gas source mixed transmission system, different gas sources have different water contents, which affects the quality control and safe operation of natural gas. If the on-site natural gas water and hydrocarbon dew point measurements are inaccurate, there is a risk of ice blockage and equipment damage.

[0005] The currently used natural gas water and hydrocarbon dew point meters usually use the cold mirror method to measure water dew point and hydrocarbon dew point. However, whether it is the cold mirror visual method or the cold mirror automatic detection method, the values ​​of water dew point and hydrocarbon dew point will be affected by free water, hydrocarbon condensate or operation steps in the natural gas, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. The current treatment method requires the test personnel to have rich observation experience and strictly control the cooling speed, which cannot completely solve the fundamental problem.

[0006] The existing technical shortcomings are: first, it relies too much on the experience of the measurer and cannot be quantified. If the measurement personnel are replaced, it will cause large deviations in the measurement results; second, when the dew points of water and hydrocarbons in natural gas are close, it cannot be effectively distinguished, resulting in inaccurate measurement results.

The structure is simple, easy to operate and portable. The three-way valve and the first ball valve are installed in parallel, and the three-way valve mainly involves the switching of the water removal and hydrocarbon removal pipelines. The problem of inaccurate measurement results due to free water and hydrocarbon condensate in the natural gas itself, insufficient experience of the measurer or improper operation methods in the measurement of water dew point and hydrocarbon dew point of natural gas is solved.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the dust removal filter is connected to a sampling port via a pipeline.
