Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy, in particular to an adsorption type natural gas tank box. Background Art

[0002] The asymmetry between my country's natural gas production areas and major consumption areas has led to natural gas storage and transportation technology becoming an important factor restricting the development of the industry. With the accelerated promotion of my country's natural gas industry, safe and convenient natural gas storage and transportation technology has become the main trend of natural gas development in the future.

[0003] In order to solve the problems of poor storage and transportation safety and flammability and explosion during the deflation process of existing high-pressure natural gas storage tanks, an adsorption-type natural gas tank box is proposed. Adsorption-type natural gas technology belongs to physical adsorption. It is to put a natural gas-specific adsorbent with a high specific surface area into the storage tank, and use its huge internal surface area and rich microporous structure to adsorb and store natural gas at room temperature and medium pressure. Its biggest advantage is that it can obtain a storage energy density close to that of CNG (compressed natural gas) under high pressure (20MPa) at low pressure (3.5-6.0MPa). When the pressure in the storage tank is lower than the outside, the natural gas is adsorbed on the surface of the solid micropores of the adsorbent for storage; when the pressure in the storage tank is higher than the outside, the natural gas is desorbed from the solid surface of the adsorbent and supplied to the outside. Since the adsorption-type natural gas storage tank has the advantages of large unit storage capacity, low storage pressure, gentle deflation process, and high storage and transportation safety factor, it can effectively solve the safety problems of natural gas storage, transportation and use.
