Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas mixing, in particular to a calorific value balancing device for hydrogen and fuel gas blending. Background Art

[0002] A calorific value balancing device for hydrogen and fuel gas blending aims to achieve uniform mixing of hydrogen and fuel gas (such as natural gas), and adjust the mixing ratio to achieve calorific value balance, thereby improving combustion efficiency and energy utilization rate;

[0003] Upon inquiry, the publication number: CN213668741U discloses a natural gas hydrogen blending device. In this technology, "a natural gas hydrogen blending device is disclosed, including a hydrogen storage tank and a natural gas storage tank, and further including a buffer tank. One end of the buffer tank is provided with an intake pipe, and the other end is provided with an exhaust pipe. One end of the natural gas storage tank is provided with a first connection pipe, and an exhaust pipe is sleeved inside the first connection pipe. A one-way valve structure is provided at the pipe orifice of the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe can only exhaust gas from the buffer tank to the first connection pipe, and is self-sealing in the reverse direction" and other technical solutions, having "connect the natural gas storage tank to the first connection pipe, connect the hydrogen storage tank to the second pipe, inject hydrogen from the hydrogen storage tank into the buffer tank. Under the action of the one-way valve, hydrogen can only flow unidirectionally towards the buffer tank. Drive the hydraulic cylinder to move the connecting plate downward, drive the push rod to push the piston plate, increase the pressure in the buffer tank, and under the action of the pressure, inject the hydrogen in the buffer tank into the natural gas storage tank. The one-way valve can ensure that hydrogen flows unidirectionally into the natural gas storage tank to avoid gas mixing" and other technical effects;

[0004] During the use of the gas mixing device in the above solution, the mixing of hydrogen and fuel gas will rely on natural convection or a simple diffusion process, which often leads to uneven distribution of hydrogen concentration in the mixed gas. In some areas, the hydrogen concentration may be too high, while in other areas it may be too low; the areas with too high hydrogen concentration may cause too fast combustion, generate local high temperature, and even cause flashback or pre-ignition phenomena; while the areas with too low concentration may have incomplete combustion, generating harmful emissions such as carbon monoxide.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution for a calorific value balance device for hydrogen and gas mixing: a calorific value balance device for hydrogen and gas mixing, including a mixer 1 for mixing hydrogen and gas, and the mixer 1 includes:

[0026] The main body component 11 includes a tank cover 112 installed at the upper end of the tank body 111, a gas inlet 113 integrally formed on the left side of the front end of the tank cover 112, a hydrogen inlet 114 integrally formed on the right side of the rear end of the tank cover 112, a rotating shaft 115 rotatably installed in the center of the inside of the tank cover 112, blades 116 fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 115, and an air outlet 1111 integrally formed at the lower end of the tank body 111;

[0027] The orifice plate component 12 is arranged on the main body component 11 and is used for three-stage mixing;

[0028] The reinforcement component 13 is arranged on the main body component 11 and is used for supporting the orifice plate component 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, gas and hydrogen enter the inside of the tank cover 112 through the gas inlet 113 and the hydrogen inlet 114 respectively. By adopting the tangential air inlet method, the gas forms a swirling flow, thereby promoting mixing; at the same time, the gas drives the blades 116 to rotate around the rotating shaft 115, which can quickly disperse and mix the hydrogen and gas evenly, achieving an efficient mixing effect with low energy consumption.

[0030] Specifically, the main body component 11 further includes an annular frame 117 installed at the lower end inside the tank cover 112, and a cross bracket 118 integrally formed inside the annular frame 117.

[0031] In this embodiment, after the tank body 111 and the tank cover 112 are installed and fixed, the lower end of the rotating shaft 115 can be limited by the annular frame 117 in cooperation with the cross bracket 118, and at the same time, the upper end of the orifice plate component 12 can be positioned.

[0032] Specifically, the main body component 11 further includes a lower ring seat 119 fixed to the inner wall of the lower end of the tank body 111, and an upper ring seat 1110 fixed to the inner wall of the lower end of the tank cover 112.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the orifice plate component 12 is installed inside the tank body 111 and the tank body 111 and the tank cover 112 are installed and fixed, the tank body 111 cooperates with the lower ring seat 119 and the tank cover 112 cooperates with the upper ring seat 1110 to fix the orifice plate component 12 together; when the tank body 111 and the tank cover 112 are disassembled, the orifice plate component 12 and the reinforcement component 13 can be taken out for cleaning and maintenance.

[0034] Specifically, the orifice plate component 12 includes a middle orifice plate 122 installed inside the tank body 111, an upper orifice plate 121 and a lower orifice plate 123 respectively fixed to the upper and lower ends of the middle orifice plate 122, and a plurality of air holes 124 opened on the upper orifice plate 121, the middle orifice plate 122 and the lower orifice plate 123.

[0035] In this embodiment, after the gas enters the interior of the tank body 111, it is physically mixed through the orifice plate assembly 12. And during the mixing process, the orifice plate assembly 12 also helps to stabilize the pressure inside the tank body 111, avoiding affecting the mixing effect and use safety due to pressure fluctuations.

[0036] Specifically, the reinforcement assembly 13 includes frames 131 symmetrically installed on both sides inside the tank body 111, support frames 132 fixed between the upper and lower ends inside the frames 131, and mounting holes 133 opened at both ends inside the frames 131.

Then, the two reinforcement assemblies 13 are fixed through the mounting holes 133 with bolts, so as to realize the support and reinforcement of the orifice plate assembly 12 through the reinforcement assembly 13, avoiding the orifice plate assembly 12 being easily deformed by force when installed inside the mixer 1.

[0038] Specifically, the mixer 1 further includes a first one-way valve 14 installed on the gas inlet 113 and a second one-way valve 15 installed on the hydrogen inlet 114.

[0039] In this embodiment, by respectively installing the first one-way valve 14 and the second one-way valve 15 on the gas inlet 113 and the hydrogen inlet 114, the gas can only flow in a single direction during intake, preventing gas backflow.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: First, gas and hydrogen respectively enter the interior of the tank cover 112 through the gas inlet 113 and the hydrogen inlet 114. By adopting the tangential intake method, the gas forms a swirling flow, thus promoting mixing. At the same time, the gas drives the blades 116 to rotate around the rotating shaft 115, which can quickly disperse and mix the hydrogen and gas evenly, achieving an efficient mixing effect with lower energy consumption.

[0041] Then, after the gas enters the interior of the tank body 111, it is physically mixed through the orifice plate assembly 12. And during the mixing process, the orifice plate assembly 12 also helps to stabilize the pressure inside the tank body 111, avoiding affecting the mixing effect and use safety due to pressure fluctuations. Finally, the mixed gas is discharged from the air outlet 1111.
