Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas filters, in particular to a sampling filter. Background Art

[0002] High-sulfur sour gas is untreated natural gas that is extracted from a natural gas wellhead and transported through a pipeline to a natural gas purification plant. Its high sulfur content makes it highly toxic and corrosive. Analyzing the components and sulfides of high-sulfur sour gas can provide a basis for the purification work of the natural gas purification plant and the treatment of natural gas.

[0003] In order to analyze the components and sulfides of high-sulfur sour gas, currently, gas chromatographs are mainly used in laboratories. By connecting a gas sample cylinder to the gas chromatograph through a sampling pipeline, the gas sample in the gas sample cylinder enters the gas chromatograph. The components are separated by a chromatographic column, and then detected using corresponding TCD and PFPD detectors. The peak areas of each component are recorded on a chromatographic workstation, and the content of each component is calculated using the external standard method. However, since high-sulfur sour gas carries certain liquid and particulate impurities during transportation, in the actual analysis process, the sampling pipeline is connected to the gas sample cylinder through a quick connector, and the liquid and particulate impurities carried in the gas directly enter the internal pipeline, switching valve, and chromatographic column of the gas chromatograph, resulting in pipeline blockage, wear and air leakage of the ceramic valve core of the switching valve, and contamination of the chromatographic column. This leads to problems such as inaccurate sampling, sample cross-contamination during switching, and abnormal chromatograms, which not only affect the timeliness and accuracy of sample analysis but also increase the maintenance cost of replacing components such as pipelines, switching valves, and chromatographic columns of the instrument. Summary of the Utility Model

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, a sample injection filter includes a housing 1 made of a stainless steel structural member. The housing 1 is provided with a filter channel 2. The housing 1 is provided with an inlet pipeline 3 and an outlet pipeline 4 that communicate with the filter channel 2. The inlet pipeline 3 and the outlet pipeline 4 are oppositely arranged. The inlet pipeline 3 is provided with a quick connector 31, and the outlet pipeline 4 is provided with a union nut 41. A blocking and filtering mechanism 5 is arranged in the filter channel 2.

[0038] An injection filter according to this embodiment, the housing 1, the inlet pipeline 3 and the outlet pipeline 4 are all made of sulfur-resistant stainless steel structural parts. The housing 1 is a cylindrical structural part with both ends closed. The inlet pipeline 3 and the outlet pipeline 4 are respectively arranged at the two axial ends of the housing 1 to form a filtering channel 2 formed by the sequential connection of the inlet pipeline 3, the inner cavity of the housing 1 and the outlet pipeline 4. A blocking and filtering mechanism 5 is arranged in the filtering channel 2, and the gas passing through the filtering channel 2 is filtered by the blocking and filtering mechanism 5 to remove solids and moisture in the gas. Applied to a gas chromatograph analyzer, it can be quickly connected to a gas sample cylinder through a quick connector 31 and stably connected to the gas chromatograph analyzer through a union nut 41, so as to remove solids and moisture from the gas collected by the gas sample cylinder, improve the timeliness and accuracy of sample analysis, and avoid impurities from affecting the service life of the instrument.

[0039] Preferably, the filtering channel 2 includes a pretreatment chamber 21, an adsorption chamber 22 and a filtering chamber 23 that are sequentially connected. Glass fibers are filled in the pretreatment chamber 21, anhydrous calcium chloride particles are filled in the adsorption chamber, and glass fibers are filled in the filtering chamber 23. And the filling density of the glass fibers in the filtering chamber 23 is less than the filling density of the glass fibers in the pretreatment chamber 21, so that when the gas passes axially along the filtering channel 2, it undergoes gradually refined filtering treatment, and effectively blocks large particles and small particles of solids and dust in the gas.

[0040] It can be understood that the pretreatment chamber 21, the adsorption chamber 22 and the filtering chamber 23 can be selected and set according to actual conditions to meet the filtering treatment requirements of the gas in a specific use environment.

[0043] An injection filter according to this embodiment takes the case where the pretreatment chamber 21, the adsorption chamber 22 and the filtering chamber 23 are simultaneously arranged in the filtering channel 2 as an example for illustration. The adjacent chambers are separated by a fiberglass cloth as the separation mechanism 7. Utilizing the air permeability of the fiberglass cloth, the gas can pass through the separation mechanism 7 smoothly, and utilizing the pore characteristics of the fiberglass cloth, further blocking and filtering of particulate impurities and moisture in the gas are carried out.

[0044] Embodiment 3

[0045] As Figures 1 - 8As shown in the figure, a sample injection filter according to this embodiment has a structure similar to that of Embodiment 1, except that: the housing 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 which are hingedly connected.

The inlet pipeline 3 and the outlet pipeline 4 are respectively communicated with the second housing 12, and a flexible sealing member 13 is provided on the buckling surface of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

[0046] A sample injection filter according to this embodiment is composed of a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 which are hingedly connected to form a filtering channel 2. The structure is simple, and it is convenient to set and replace the blocking and filtering mechanism 5.

[0047] In this embodiment, preferably, the blocking and filtering mechanism 5 includes a containing container 6. In the containing container 6, the first blocking and filtering mechanism 51, the second blocking and filtering mechanism 52, and the third blocking and filtering mechanism 53 are filled along the gas transmission direction. The filling thicknesses of the first blocking and filtering mechanism 51, the second blocking and filtering mechanism 52, and the third blocking and filtering mechanism 53 are all not greater than 1 cm. The containing container 6 is a mesh structure member. Clamping grooves 14 are respectively provided on the inner walls of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and the containing container 6 is provided with convex ribs 61 which are clamped and matched with the clamping grooves 14. In this way, the glass fibers and sewage calcium chloride particles of the blocking and filtering mechanism 5 can be stably contained in the containing container 6, which is convenient to set and replace the blocking and filtering mechanism 5 by replacing the whole containing container 6, and can replace the internally filled blocking and filtering mechanism 5 without separating the housing 1 from the gas sample bottle or the detection instrument, so as to change the filtering treatment effect.

[0048] Preferably, a collection tank 16 is provided in the housing 1. The collection tank 16 is communicated with the filtering channel 2. The collection tank 16 is connected to a discharge port 15, and a plug 8 is provided at the discharge port 15. The collection tank 16 in this embodiment is arranged at the bottom of the second housing 12. The solid impurities and moisture are collected through the collection tank 16 and discharged from the discharge port 15 after accumulating to a certain amount.

[0049] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
