Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of natural gas production, in particular to a liquefied natural gas treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Liquefied natural gas (LNG) refers to the state in which natural gas is liquefied into a liquid at an extremely low temperature (about -162 °C). This liquefaction process can reduce the volume of natural gas by about 600 times, making it convenient for storage and transportation. Liquefied natural gas is usually achieved through a process of cooling and compression. A large amount of heat is released when natural gas is compressed. When natural gas is compressed, the gas molecules are squeezed, and the internal kinetic energy increases, resulting in a temperature rise. This phenomenon is called compression heating.

[0003] After retrieval, the existing Chinese patent publication number is: CN209926924U, which provides a pretreatment device for natural gas liquefaction. This patent cools natural gas through a cooling coil. During cooling, the natural gas effectively slows down the flow rate through a baffle plate, thus greatly improving the cooling effect of the cooling coil; the cooled natural gas filters out the oil fume and dust contained in the natural gas through a filter screen, thereby improving the cleanliness of the natural gas; the filter screen is clamped and fixed by a first retaining ring and a second retaining ring, and the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring are fixed by a clamping device, which is convenient for disassembly and installation, thus facilitating the cleaning and replacement of the filter screen, with simple operation and convenient use, reducing the work difficulty of the staff.

[0004] Although the above patent can greatly improve the cooling effect, the above pretreatment device for natural gas liquefaction still has the following problems: Natural gas will generate oil fume and dust. However, the filter screen is located at the rear, and the cooling coil will contact the oil fume and dust first. After long-term use, the oil fume and dust will accumulate on the outer wall of the cooling coil, thus affecting the cooling effect of the cooling coil.

[0005] In view of the above problems, a liquefied natural gas treatment device is proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0009] The filtering assembly includes a rotating base, the rotating base is fixedly connected to the left side inside the cooling tank, and a spherical filter is rotatably connected to the right side inside the rotating base.

[0033] Embodiment 1: A liquefied natural gas treatment device includes a cooling tank 1. A gas condenser 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling tank 1. A plurality of blowing baffles 5 are fixedly connected inside the cooling tank 1. An annular pipe 4 is fixedly connected inside the cooling tank 1. A connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the blowing baffle 5. The outer side of the connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the annular pipe 4. A filtering assembly is arranged on the left side inside the cooling tank 1.

[0034] The gas condenser 2 operates to output condensed inert gas, such as nitrogen, and then it is transported to the inside of the annular pipe 4 through a hose 9. Its staggered blowing baffles 5 will extend the flow distance of the natural gas, so as to fully cool the heat of the natural gas.

[0035] Embodiment 2: A hose 9 is fixedly connected to the left side of the rear end of the gas condenser 2. The outer wall of the hose 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the annular pipe 4. A plurality of empty slots 7 are opened inside the blowing baffle 5, and a plurality of blowing holes 8 are opened inside the empty slots 7.

[0036] It enters into the empty slot 7 of the blowing baffle 5 through the connecting pipe 6, and finally is evenly blown into the interior of the cooling tank 1 through the air blowing holes 8 in the empty slot 7, and the natural gas is cooled down.

[0037] As one of the optimized structural designs of Embodiment 1, as Figures 1-6 shown, the filtering assembly includes a rotating base 3, the rotating base 3 is fixedly connected to the left side inside the cooling tank 1, and a spherical filter 11 is rotatably connected to the right side inside the rotating base 3. A side plate 17 is fixedly connected to the left side inside the rotating base 3, and an air inlet pipe 10 is fixedly connected inside the side plate 17. A plurality of uniformly distributed air inlet holes 15 are formed in the outer wall of the spherical filter 11. A semi-circular baffle 16 is fixedly connected inside the filter frame 12. Two filter frames 12 are slidably connected inside the spherical filter 11, a filter plate 13 is slidably connected inside the filter frame 12, and a partition plate 14 is fixedly connected to the middle inside the spherical filter 11.

[0038] If the filter plate 13 needs to be replaced, only need to rotate the cooling tank 1, so that the filter plates 13 are interchanged in position, then remove the filter frame 12, and take off the filter plate 13 for maintenance or replacement. At this time, the natural gas can still pass through the rotated filter plate 13 for filtering and ventilation. The filter frame 12 is fully squeezed and slid into the spherical filter 11, and it can realize the limiting function by itself. The partition plate 14 divides the spherical filter 11 into two parts, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment when the filter plate 13 is replaced.

[0039] Working principle: Natural gas enters into the rotating base 3 through the air inlet pipe 10, and after being blocked by the semi-circular baffle 16, it is filtered by the filter plate 13 at the upper end of the spherical filter 11 and then enters into the interior of the cooling tank 1 through the air inlet holes 15. If the filter plate 13 needs to be replaced, only need to rotate the cooling tank 1, so that the filter plates 13 are interchanged in position, then remove the filter frame 12, and take off the filter plate 13 for maintenance or replacement. At this time, the natural gas can still pass through the rotated filter plate 13 for filtering and ventilation. Then, the gas condenser 2 operates to output condensed inert gas, which is then transported to the interior of the annular pipe 4 through the hose 9, then enters into the empty slot 7 of the blowing baffle 5 through the connecting pipe 6, and finally is blown into the interior of the cooling tank 1 through the air blowing holes 8 in the empty slot 7, and the natural gas is cooled down.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that: The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
