Description

The amine liquid contains a large amount of gas. The gas analyzed from the rich amine liquid gathers on the upper part of the field indicating liquid level gauge to form a gas seal section, resulting in inaccurate liquid level measurement of the field indicating liquid level gauge and the appearance of a false liquid level.

[0034] This embodiment provides a liquid level meter for a desulfurization device, which is used to solve the technical problem of gas collection at the top of the liquid level meter in the desulfurization device in the prior art. The liquid level meter for the desulfurization device includes a liquid level meter and an exhaust valve 6, wherein:

[0035] The liquid level gauge has a first connecting port 4 and a second connecting port 5, and is arranged along a first direction, which is the axial direction of the desulfurization tower 9, and the first connecting port 4 is located above the second connecting port 5. In the working state, the first connecting port 4 and the second connecting port 5 are both connected to the desulfurization tower 9 and arranged along the first direction, that is, the axial direction of the liquid level gauge is the axial direction of the desulfurization tower 9. The liquid level gauge is used to monitor the liquid level in the desulfurization tower 9. In this way, the setting of the liquid level gauge facilitates the monitoring of the liquid level in the desulfurization tower 9.

During use, the liquid level meter is connected to the desulfurization tower 9 through the first connecting port 4 and the second connecting port 5, so the gas precipitated from the rich amine liquid will enter the liquid level meter from the connection between the liquid level meter and the desulfurization tower 9, and a part of the gas will return to the desulfurization tower 9 through the connection between the liquid level meter and the desulfurization tower 9, while the other part will gather at the top of the liquid level meter to form a gas seal section. By installing the exhaust valve 6 at one end of the liquid level meter close to the first connecting port 4, it is convenient to discharge the gas gathered at the top of the liquid level meter from the liquid level meter, thereby achieving the purpose of avoiding gas collection. Therefore, through the setting of the exhaust valve 6, the liquid level meter for the desulfurization device provided by the utility model avoids the phenomenon of top gas collection, thereby making the measurement result more accurate and more practical.

In this way, by setting up multiple liquid level gauges, it is suitable for desulfurization towers 9 of different heights.

[0039] Optionally, a third liquid level gauge 3 is further included, which is located between the first liquid level gauge 1 and the second liquid level gauge 2, and the second connecting port 5 of the first liquid level gauge 1 overlaps with the projection of the first connecting port 4 of the third liquid level gauge 3 in the second direction, and the first connecting port 4 of the second liquid level gauge 2 overlaps with the projection of the second connecting port 5 of the third liquid level gauge 3 in the second direction, that is, the second connecting port 5 of the first liquid level gauge 1 and the first connecting port 4 of the third liquid level gauge 3 are located in the same plane, and the first connecting port 4 of the second liquid level gauge 2 and the second connecting port 5 of the third liquid level gauge 3 are located in the same plane.

Specifically, the top of the liquid level meter has an internal thread interface. In this way, the liquid level meter and the exhaust valve 6 are threadedly connected, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the exhaust valve 6, thereby facilitating the replacement or repair of the exhaust valve 6 and the liquid level meter.

[0042] Optionally, there are multiple exhaust valves 6, and the multiple exhaust valves 6 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple liquid level gauges. In this way, the collected gas at the top of each liquid level gauge can be easily discharged through the one-to-one corresponding exhaust valves 6 and liquid level gauges.

[0043] Optionally, multiple exhaust valves 6 are connected, that is, multiple exhaust valves 6 are connected by pipelines. In this way, it is convenient to discharge the gas discharged from each liquid level meter into the desulfurization tower 9 again to avoid polluting the environment.

In this way, through the setting of the primary valve 73, it is convenient to control the passage between the desulfurization tower 9 and the liquid level gauge. Therefore, when the liquid level gauge needs to be replaced, first disconnect the passage between the desulfurization tower 9 and the liquid level gauge through the primary valve 73, and then disassemble the liquid level gauge to avoid liquid overflow in the desulfurization tower 9.
