Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of natural gas metering industry, in particular to a gas chromatography carrier gas supply device. Background Art

[0002] In gas chromatography, the mobile phase is a gas, which is called a carrier gas. The function of the carrier gas is to transport, assist the sample to vaporize at the injection port, and transport the sample to the chromatographic column for separation, and finally transport the sample to the detector for detection. For the carrier gas supply device of the gas chromatography, common gas supply methods include single gas supply and one-for-one (multiple) backup gas supply. In contrast, the single gas supply only realizes the function of gas supply, but after replacing the carrier gas, the chromatograph needs to be shut down and the carrier gas needs to be replaced. During the replacement, the gas chromatograph stops working. Stopping the chromatograph, replacing the carrier gas, and restarting the chromatograph to run steadily may affect the metering. At the same time, the single gas supply design cannot guarantee that the carrier gas in the gas cylinder is used up. One-for-one (multiple) backup gas supply realizes the continuous operation of the chromatograph, but there is also a phenomenon that the carrier gas cannot be completely used up. At the same time, for the existing patents for continuous gas supply devices, only continuous gas supply is considered, and the maximum use of carrier gas is not considered. In addition, the old-fashioned method does not have an integrated design. Before use, multiple components need to be carried, and transportation and use are not flexible.

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to develop a gas chromatography carrier gas supply device that can be flexibly moved and can effectively and continuously supply gas. Utility Model Content

[0022] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] Example: Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the gas chromatography carrier gas supply device of this embodiment includes a mobile carrier, two carrier gas storage tanks 1, a first pipeline 2, a second pipeline 3 and a carrier gas output main pipe 4, the two above-mentioned carrier gas storage tanks 1 are installed on the above-mentioned mobile carrier, one end of the above-mentioned first pipeline 2 is detachably connected to the gas outlet of one of the above-mentioned carrier gas storage tanks 1, one end of the above-mentioned second pipeline 3 is detachably connected to the gas outlet of the other above-mentioned carrier gas storage tank 1, the other ends of the above-mentioned first pipeline 2 and the second pipeline 3 are respectively connected to one end of the above-mentioned carrier gas output main pipe 4, the first pipeline 2 and the second pipeline 3 are respectively provided with a first pressure regulating valve 5 and a second pressure regulating valve 6, the other ends of the above-mentioned first pipeline 2 and the second pipeline 3 are respectively provided with a first stop valve 7 and a second stop valve 8, the above-mentioned carrier gas output main pipe 4 is provided with a third pressure regulating valve 9, and the set pressure of the above-mentioned first pressure regulating valve 5 is higher than the set pressure of the above-mentioned third pressure regulating valve 9.

[0024] The gas chromatography carrier gas supply device of this embodiment can be flexibly transported to the target position by using a mobile carrier during use. Then, after installing various components and pipelines, the other end of the carrier gas output main pipe 4 is connected to the gas supply pipeline of the gas chromatograph. When in use, all valves are closed in advance, and then one of the carrier gas storage tanks 1 (represented by A in the figure) is opened for gas supply; the pressure is adjusted to 0.2MPa greater than the carrier gas pressure required by the gas chromatography by operating the first pressure regulating valve 5, and then the first stop valve 7 is opened; next, another carrier gas storage tank 1 (represented by B in the figure) is opened for gas supply; the pressure is adjusted to the carrier gas pressure required by the gas chromatography by operating the second pressure regulating valve 6; then, the second stop valve 8 is opened; finally, the pressure is adjusted to the carrier gas pressure required by the gas chromatography by operating the third pressure regulating valve 9. Since the set pressure of the first pressure regulating valve 5 is higher than the set pressure of the third pressure regulating valve 9, in the actual gas supply process, the regulating pressures of the first pressure regulating valve 5 and the second pressure regulating valve 6 are inconsistent, and since the pressure set by the first pressure regulating valve 5 is higher than the pressure set by the second pressure regulating valve 6, the carrier gas storage tank (A tank) and the carrier gas storage tank (B tank) are consumed first, and it can be ensured that the carrier gas in the carrier gas storage tank (A tank) is consumed to the maximum extent before the pressure of the carrier gas storage tank (B tank) is consumed. At the same time, after it is found that the pressure in the A tank is completely consumed, the A tank can be directly replaced, and then the third pressure regulating valve 9 is adjusted to a pressure greater than 0.2MPa required by the gas chromatography through the pressure regulating valve, and then the new carrier gas is replaced and adjusted to the pressure required by the gas chromatography. This alternating replacement not only ensures that the carrier gas is used up to the maximum extent, but also ensures that the chromatography works continuously, and is easy to implement and highly operable.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the base 101 is pushed by the handrail 102, so that the running wheels 104 can move along the ground, and can be quickly moved to the target location, which is flexible and convenient to operate. At the same time, the design of the mounting bracket 103 is easy to arrange the carrier gas storage tank and pipelines, and the structure is more compact and the pipe layout is regular.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the first pressure gauge 21 and the second pressure gauge 31 provide real-time feedback of the pressure information of their respective pipelines, so as to adjust the pipeline pressure according to the pressure information.

[0032] In this embodiment, a third pressure gauge 41 is provided on the carrier gas output main pipe 4 at the rear of the gas flow direction of the third pressure regulating valve 9.
