AI Technical Summary
In existing natural gas liquefaction devices, arc-shaped flow channels lead to different flow paths of natural gas, which in turn leads to uneven pre-cooling.
A second-order mixed refrigeration natural gas liquefaction device is designed, using a snake-shaped cavity plate and a cross-type flow chamber. Through multiple cold liquid inlet pipes and natural gas inlet pipes, the cross-flow of refrigeration and natural gas is realized to ensure uniform pre-cooling of natural gas.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of natural gas, in particular to a two-stage mixed refrigeration natural gas liquefaction device. Background Art
[0002] As a clean fuel, liquefied natural gas has been widely used in the fields of industry, civil use, and automobile fuel. At present, many areas without natural gas resources are preparing to use liquefied natural gas to solve industrial, civil, and automobile fuel problems. Therefore, the liquefaction of natural gas has become the primary problem that needs to be solved. At present, when natural gas is refrigerated and liquefied, pre-refrigeration is used for preliminary refrigeration, so that the gas pressure can be stabilized during rapid refrigeration, avoiding the burden of increasing the pressure in the circulation pipeline. However, pre-refrigeration uses an arc flow channel, which makes the natural gas rotate and flow downward in the arc flow channel. This arc flow channel will cause the flow path of natural gas to be different, which will lead to uneven pre-refrigeration of natural gas. To this end, we propose a two-stage mixed refrigeration natural gas liquefaction device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] A plurality of natural gas inlet pipes are arranged on the side of the top cover adjacent to the cold liquid inlet pipe, a sealing ring is arranged inside each cavity of the serpentine cavity plate, the sealing rings of the odd-numbered layers of the serpentine cavity plate are arranged on the side away from the natural gas inlet pipe, and the sealing rings of the even-numbered layers of the serpentine cavity plate are arranged on the side close to the natural gas inlet pipe, and a plurality of natural gas outlet pipes are arranged on the side wall of the square cylinder.
[0005] Preferably, the bottom of the inner cavity of the square tube is processed with a slope, and the lower end of the slope is close to one side of the natural gas outlet pipe.
[0006] Preferably, legs for supporting the serpentine cavity plate are provided at four corners of the bottom of the inner cavity of the square tube.
[0007] Preferably, the top cover and the square cylinder are fixedly connected via a flange.

[0013] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0014] The utility model proposes a two-stage mixed refrigeration natural gas liquefaction device, comprising a square cylinder 1, a top cover 2 is arranged on the top of the square cylinder 1, a serpentine cavity plate 3 is arranged in the inner cavity of the square cylinder 1, a sealing treatment is performed between the serpentine cavity plate 3 and the square cylinder 1, so that the gap between the serpentine cavity plate 3 and the square cylinder 1 is closed, and the serpentine cavity plate 3 is a serpentine cavity channel formed by connecting a plurality of cavity plates, so that the interior thereof can be used for the flow of refrigerant, a plurality of cold liquid inlet pipes 4 are arranged on one side of the top of the serpentine cavity plate 3, the cold liquid inlet pipes 4 penetrate the top cover 2, the cold liquid inlet pipes 4 are connected to the refrigerant pump through a four-way pipe, and then the refrigerant is transported to the serpentine cavity plate 3, and the refrigerant flows downward layer by layer in the serpentine cavity plate 3, a plurality of cold liquid outlet pipes 5 are arranged on one side of the bottom of the serpentine cavity plate 3, the cold liquid outlet pipes 5 penetrate the side wall of the square cylinder 1, the refrigerant flowing downward is discharged at the cold liquid outlet pipe 5, and the refrigerant discharged from the cold liquid outlet pipe 5 can be recovered by a collecting box to realize recycling;
[0015] A plurality of natural gas inlet pipes 6 are arranged on one side of the top cover 2 adjacent to the cold liquid inlet pipe 4. The natural gas inlet pipe 6 is connected to the natural gas pump through a four-way pipe to transport natural gas to the gap between the top cover 2 and the serpentine cavity plate 3. A sealing ring 7 is arranged inside each layer of the cavity of the serpentine cavity plate 3. The sealing ring 7 can penetrate and open the single-layer cavity of the serpentine cavity plate 3, so that the natural gas can flow in a serpentine shape on the outer wall of the serpentine cavity plate 3. The sealing rings 7 of the odd-numbered layers of the serpentine cavity plate 3 are arranged on the side away from the natural gas inlet pipe 6, and the sealing rings 7 of the even-numbered layers of the serpentine cavity plate 3 are arranged on the side close to the natural gas inlet pipe 6. The natural gas flows downward layer by layer in a serpentine shape through the sealing ring 7 until it flows to the bottom of the square cylinder 1, so that the refrigerant and the natural gas can cross and flow in the square cylinder 1, thereby realizing pre-cooling of the natural gas. A plurality of natural gas outlet pipes 8 are arranged on the side wall of the square cylinder 1, and finally the pre-cooled natural gas is discharged at the natural gas outlet pipe 8.
[0016] Specifically, a slope is processed on the bottom of the inner cavity of the square tube 1, and the lower end of the slope is close to the side of the natural gas outlet pipe 8. The slope can facilitate the natural gas to flow to the side of the natural gas outlet pipe 8 and be discharged.
[0017] Specifically, legs 9 for supporting the serpentine cavity plate 3 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the inner cavity of the square tube 1. The design purpose is to facilitate the setting of the height of the serpentine cavity plate 3, so that there is a gap between the serpentine cavity plate 3 and the bottom surface of the square tube 1 and between the serpentine cavity plate 3 and the bottom surface of the top cover 2 for the flow of natural gas.
[0018] Specifically, the top cover 2 and the square tube 1 are fixedly connected via a flange. This connection method can facilitate the disassembly of the top cover 2, and further facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the internal serpentine cavity plate 3.
[0019] Working principle: When the liquefaction device is in use, the user can connect the cold liquid inlet pipe 4 to the refrigerant pump through a four-way pipe, and then transport the refrigerant to the serpentine cavity plate 3. The refrigerant flows downward layer by layer in the serpentine cavity plate 3 and is discharged at the cold liquid outlet pipe 5. At the same time, the natural gas inlet pipe 6 is connected to the natural gas pump through a four-way pipe to transport the natural gas to the gap between the top cover 2 and the serpentine cavity plate 3. Then the natural gas flows downward layer by layer in a serpentine shape through the sealing ring 7 until it flows to the bottom of the square tube 1 and is discharged at the natural gas outlet pipe 8, thereby realizing pre-cooling of the natural gas. This refrigeration method replaces the original disc-type refrigeration cavity, so that the flow paths of the natural gas and the refrigerant are roughly the same, and there will be no situation where the natural gas flow path on one side is long and the natural gas flow path on the other side is short, thereby realizing uniform pre-cooling of the natural gas.
