Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of liquefied gas containers, and particularly relates to an atmospheric pressure large tank venting device. Background Technique
[0002] Due to a large amount of low-temperature liquid stored in the atmospheric pressure large tank and a large evaporation rate, the pneumatic pressure reducing regulating valve at the vent is always in a slightly open state, and the gas is continuously vented at a low temperature, resulting in long-term icing at the gas outlet of the vent. To a certain extent, the ice cubes fall off, which may accidentally injure the operator or damage the equipment, causing a safety accident.
[0003] The Chinese patent document with the publication number CN203671237U discloses a low-temperature liquefied gas transport vehicle and a venting device. The venting device is arranged in the low-temperature liquefied gas transport vehicle. The low-temperature liquefied gas transport vehicle includes a container. The venting device includes a venting pipeline, a main vent valve, and a drain valve. One end of the venting pipeline communicates with the inside of the container, and the other end has a vent opening communicating with the outside. The main vent valve is arranged on the venting pipeline and is located inside the container. The drain valve is arranged on the venting pipeline, and the drain valve can be opened to drain the liquid in the venting pipeline.
[0004] Although the above patent solution is provided with a drain valve for draining the liquid during the venting process to prevent icing, it only prevents internal icing, and the icing of the cold air flow at the end of the vent pipe or the icing caused by the condensation of water vapor in the external air when it meets the cold at the end of the vent pipe cannot be effectively eliminated. Therefore, the above patent solution cannot meet the use requirements to a certain extent. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] In order to overcome the technical problem in the prior art that due to the release of low-temperature gas at the end of the vent pipe of the atmospheric pressure large tank, the water vapor in the air condenses into ice at this position, and there are potential safety hazards in the long run, and manual deicing is often required; an object of the utility model is to provide an atmospheric pressure large tank venting device, by setting a temperature transmitter on the vent pipe, when the measured temperature is lower than -10°C, introducing normal temperature compressed air into the end of the vent pipe, using the normal temperature gas to reheat the low-temperature gas, preventing icing at the outlet, eliminating potential risks and without manual operation.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: An atmospheric pressure large tank venting device includes a vent pipe, and a pneumatic control valve is arranged in the middle of the vent pipe; a temperature transmitter is arranged on the vent pipe and is located between the pneumatic control valve and the connection position of the vent pipe and the atmospheric pressure large tank; a vent gas pipe is arranged on the vent pipe and is communicated with the vent pipe. The vent gas pipe is located between the pneumatic control valve and the end of the vent pipe, and normal temperature compressed air is introduced into the vent gas pipe; a solenoid valve is arranged on the vent gas pipe for controlling the on-off state of the vent gas pipe; a controller is electrically connected to the temperature transmitter and the solenoid valve respectively; wherein, when the temperature measured by the temperature transmitter is lower than -10°C, the controller controls the solenoid valve to open; when the temperature measured by the temperature transmitter is higher than 0°C, the controller controls the solenoid valve to close.
[0007] The vent pipe has a heat conduction effect, and the temperature detection position of the temperature transmitter can more objectively reflect the temperature condition at the end of the vent pipe, and objectively judge whether icing occurs accurately; the introduction of the normal temperature compressed air warms the low-temperature gas in the vent pipe after passing through the end of a small section of the vent pipe, preventing icing at the outlet; the detection position of the temperature transmitter will not contact the normal temperature compressed air, which can more accurately judge the temperature of the vent pipe and also prevent the instantaneous heat and cold alternation from affecting the accuracy of the temperature transmitter.
[0008] Further, a normal temperature stop valve for controlling on-off is arranged on the vent gas pipe; the normal temperature stop valve is located between the solenoid valve and the end of the vent gas pipe; the normal temperature stop valve is switched by manual drive.
[0009] Manual operation can control whether to defrost the venting device, increasing the scope of application and applicable scenarios.
[0010] Further, the vent pipe includes a first straight pipe, the first straight pipe is arranged on the atmospheric pressure large tank and is communicated with its interior; a second straight pipe, the second straight pipe is arranged at the end of the first straight pipe and forms a 90-degree angle with it; an elbow pipe is arranged between the first straight pipe and the second straight pipe and is used to connect the two; the temperature transmitter is arranged on the second straight pipe.
[0011] It can prevent the air flow impact of the atmospheric pressure large tank from damaging the temperature transmitter or affecting its accuracy during the venting process.
[0012] Specifically, the diameter of the vent pipe is more than ten times the diameter of the vent gas pipe.
[0013] When the normal-temperature compressed air passes through the vent pipe with a small diameter, it will maintain a relatively fast flow rate, and only when it enters the vent pipe will the flow rate decrease, thereby ensuring that the normal-temperature compressed air reheats the low-temperature gas in the vent pipe, rather than the low-temperature gas cooling the gas in the vent pipe.
[0014] Further, at least one support rod is provided between the second straight pipe and the atmospheric pressure large tank.
[0015] Further, a heat-insulating material is provided on the outer wall of the vent pipe, and the heat-insulating material is used to prevent the vent pipe from directly exchanging heat with the air, that is, to prevent the pipe wall from freezing.
[0016] Further, the end of the vent pipe is inclined downward; an inclined opening with an opening downward is provided at the end of the vent pipe, and the inclined opening facilitates the discharge of the vent pipe, such as droplets formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air when it is cooled.
[0017] Further, the atmospheric pressure large tank includes an outer container; an inner container, the inner container is arranged inside the outer container; a filler, the filler is located between the outer container and the inner container; the vent pipe is communicated with the inner container; a sleeve is provided at the position where the vent pipe penetrates through the outer container.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By installing a temperature transmitter at the inlet of the pneumatic control valve and a solenoid valve and a manual stop valve at the outlet to control the opening and closing of the normal-temperature compressed air, when the pressure of the normal-temperature large tank reaches the vent setting pressure, the pneumatic control valve opens for venting. When the temperature transmitter measures that the temperature is lower than -10°C, a feedback signal is sent to the controller, and the solenoid valve is controlled to open to introduce normal-temperature compressed gas to reheat the low-temperature gas, preventing ice formation at the outlet, eliminating potential hazards, and the whole process does not require manual intervention, reducing the workload and labor intensity; when the temperature is greater than 0°C, the solenoid valve is closed to stop reheating, avoiding waste of resources and being more green and economical.
