Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of industrial gas pipeline flow detection, in particular to an online purge device for a dirty and wet gas flow meter with a large pipe diameter. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of some industrial production lines, a large amount of gas is often generated, such as blast furnace gas produced by iron smelting blast furnaces and coke oven gas produced by coke ovens. These gases are by-products in the production process and are fuels required for downstream production processes. They have high economic utilization value. Flow measurement is the basis for settlement in the process of gas transmission. Accurate and stable measurement data is crucial. Gas flow measurement, especially for large pipes with a diameter of more than 500mm, generally uses a differential pressure flowmeter;

[0003] The differential pressure flowmeter is installed directly on the pipeline and needs to be in real-time contact with the fluid medium. However, the gas medium is often dirty and wet gas, mixed with certain specific impurities, such as dust in blast furnace gas and tar in coke oven gas. When the impurities flow through the flowmeter, they will adhere to the flowmeter body and the pipe wall of the pipeline, causing the throttling device of the flowmeter and the pipe wall structure to change, resulting in abnormal flow measurement data. Therefore, the flowmeter needs to be cleaned of impurities regularly. However, due to the complex process of gas outage in large pipelines and the large workload of disassembling and maintaining flowmeters, it is often difficult to clean the flowmeter and the pipe wall. The flow measurement error caused by dirty and wet gas impurities can only be corrected by data correction, and its accuracy and data credibility are difficult to guarantee. Utility Model Content

[0020] When it is necessary to purge the pressure pipe 10, follow the following sequence: open the steam main valve 16 → open the steam trap 15 to drain the water and then close the steam trap 15 → close the two secondary valves 12 → close the two primary valves 11 → open the balancing valve 9 → open the steam valve B8 → open the two drain valves 14 → purge for 2 minutes. After there is no impurity at the bottom of the drain valve 14 and the steam is flowing smoothly, close the steam main valve 16 → close the steam valve B8 → close the two drain valves 14 → open the two primary valves 11 → open the two secondary valves 12 → close the balancing valve 9 → enter the normal measurement mode.
