Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of short-term precursor gas detection for earthquakes, in particular to hot spring gas collection and processing equipment used for earthquake prediction. Background Art

[0002] The formation of hot springs is related to the deep circulation heating of groundwater. Most of the spring water comes from deep underground, and contains minerals, trace elements and soluble gas components carried by groundwater flowing through the area. These components can effectively reflect the relevant information of rock mineral composition, magma activity, water, gas and organisms. Under normal circumstances, the chemical composition, flow rate, water temperature, pH and other dynamics of spring water are relatively stable within the natural fluctuation range. However, the change of rock state in the deep crust before the earthquake will increase the permeability of underground media such as rocks and fluids, thereby affecting some chemical components in hot spring water, affecting the quality of hot spring water and the composition of escaping gas. Therefore, the change of hot spring gas is often used in earthquake monitoring and prediction and earth science research. When predicting earthquakes through hot spring gas, it is necessary to collect hot spring gas and detect and analyze its composition changes. The collected hot spring gas often contains a large amount of water vapor, which needs to be removed. The existing technology usually uses low-temperature freezing to remove water vapor from hot spring gas, but water vapor is easy to accumulate in the air supply pipe after freezing into ice, resulting in blockage of the air supply pipe, requiring frequent deicing and maintenance, and it is not easy to achieve continuous hot spring gas change monitoring.

[0022] The upper and lower ends of the air supply branch pipe 5 are both U-shaped. The hot spring gas delivered by the air inlet pipe 2 is divided into two routes for transportation in the air supply branch pipe 5 and then combined into one route at the air outlet pipe 3 for transportation to the external detection equipment. The rest of the air supply branch pipe 5 except the two ends is arranged inside the box body 1. A spiral coolant circulation pipe 9 is arranged on the outer surface of the air supply branch pipe 5 inside the box body 1. The hot spring gas is low-temperature frozen by the coolant circulation pipe 9 spirally wound on the outer side of the air supply branch pipe 5, which can greatly improve the freezing effect, quickly condense the water vapor in the hot spring gas into ice, and achieve the purpose of rapid dehumidification.

[0023] The part of the air supply branch pipe 5 inside the box body 1 is bent in an "S" shape, and two air supply branch pipes 5 are arranged in the box body. There is a spiral coolant circulation pipe 9 on the outside of each air supply branch pipe 5, which can further increase the freezing rate, extend the freezing time of the hot spring gas, increase the water vapor removal rate, and prevent water vapor from entering the detection equipment and affecting the accuracy of the detection results.

[0024] A sealing tube 6 is sleeved on the outside of the coolant circulation pipe 9, and the sealing tube 6 seals the coolant circulation pipe 9 on the outside of the air supply branch pipe 5. The sealing tube 6 is made of a poor thermal conductor material, and cooperates with the box body 1 to seal the middle part of the air supply branch pipe 5 to reduce the temperature and transfer heat to the outside, thereby reducing the power resources consumed by the refrigeration equipment, etc., which is beneficial to energy saving and environmental protection.

[0025] A coolant inlet pipe 8 is provided at the top of the coolant circulation pipe 9, and a coolant return pipe 7 is provided at the bottom of the coolant circulation pipe 9. The coolant inlet pipe 8 and the coolant return pipe 7 both pass through the sealing pipe 6 and then pass through the box body 1 and are connected to the coolant circulation box 10 installed on the outer surface of the box body 1. A circulation pump is provided in the coolant circulation box 10, and the liquid outlet end of the circulation pump is connected to the coolant inlet pipe 8. A control switch 11 electrically connected to the circulation pump is provided on the outer surface of the coolant circulation box 10. At the same time, a refrigeration device is also provided on the coolant circulation box 10, which is used to cool the coolant in the coolant circulation box 10 to ensure the temperature for cooling the hot spring gas.

[0027] According to the preferred technical solution, a connecting pipe is respectively arranged between the top and bottom ends of the coolant circulation pipe 9 located on the two air supply branch pipes 5, and the connecting pipe passes through the sealing pipe 6. Since the air supply branch pipe 5 is divided into two branches inside the box body 1, and each of the two branches has a coolant circulation pipe 9, the liquid inlet and the liquid return port are connected through the connecting pipe, and the coolant in the two coolant circulation pipes 9 can be circulated normally through a set of coolant inlet pipe 8 and coolant return pipe 7.

[0029] Further preferably, a three-way valve 13 is installed on the air intake pipe 2 near the end of the air supply branch pipe 5, and a drain pipe 14 is installed at the interface below the three-way valve 13. The drain pipe 14 is arranged at the lower part to facilitate the discharge of melted water. The three-way valve 13 is preferably an electrically controlled T-shaped three-way valve. When processing hot spring gas, it opens the passage between the air intake pipe 2 and the air supply branch pipe 5 and closes the passage of the drain pipe 14. When de-icing the air supply branch pipe 5, it opens the passage between the air supply branch pipe 5 and the drain pipe 14 and closes the passage of the air intake pipe 2.

By setting up two sets of processing equipment, the hot spring gas can be alternately cooled and dehumidified. When one of the air supply branches 5 is clogged with ice and needs to be cleared, the set of processing equipment is closed for deicing and the other set of equipment is opened to continue collecting and detecting the hot spring gas, thereby realizing continuous monitoring of hot spring gas changes and further improving the accuracy of hot spring gas detection and earthquake prediction.
