Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling, in particular to an oil transportation and cooling device for a submersible electric pump well. Background Art

[0002] In the process of crude oil extraction, when the oil well cannot maintain natural flow or the production is too low even if it can flow naturally, mechanical energy must be used for oil production. The rod pump for oil production is the most commonly used mechanical oil production method. This oil production method has the advantages of simple equipment, small investment, convenient operation and maintenance, etc. However, due to its limited displacement and difficulty in application in inclined wells, at present, using a large-displacement submersible electric pump for oil production is an important means to maintain high and stable production in oil fields.

[0003] The submersible electric pump is an important mechanical oil production equipment, which has the characteristics of a large displacement range, high pump efficiency, high automation degree, etc. The submersible electric pump for oil production is one of the important ways to improve the liquid production rate of oil and gas wells and realize the continuous stable production and resumption of production of oil and gas wells.

[0004] The submersible electric pump well has high productivity and high crude oil flow rate. The high-temperature crude oil (95 - 100 °C) in the wellbore is carried into the ground lined pipe for oil transportation. The maximum working temperature of the lined pipe is 65 °C. The high-temperature crude oil passing through the lined pipe will cause damage to the internal components, endangering the normal transportation of crude oil and related operations.

[0005] At present, there is no effective measure for cooling high-temperature crude oil transportation in submersible electric pump wells on site.

[0006] Therefore, the existing technology still needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an automatic air-cooled gradient cooling device for a submersible electric pump well, aiming to solve the difficulties in cooling high-temperature crude oil transportation in a submersible electric pump well.

[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] In a first aspect, an automatic air-cooled gradient cooling device for a submersible electric pump well includes:

[0010] A base, on which supports are provided;

[0011] A plurality of heat dissipation cylinders, stacked in groups of two on the base to form multiple layers, and fixed between each layer by supports;

[0012] A heat dissipation coil, spirally arranged in the heat dissipation cylinder and connected through a plurality of heat dissipation cylinders. The port at the bottom of the heat dissipation coil is the inlet, and the port at the top is the outlet;

[0013] The flow velocity column is arranged inside the spiral part of the heat dissipation coil in the heat dissipation cylinder;

[0014] The air-cooling assembly is arranged at the end of the heat dissipation cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the air-cooling assembly includes:

[0016] The air inlet is arranged at one end of the heat dissipation cylinder;

[0017] The eddy current fan is arranged at the other end of the heat dissipation cylinder.

[0018] Furthermore, the air inlet is rotatably connected to one end of the heat dissipation cylinder, and the air inlet is circumferentially enclosed by a plurality of fan blades.

[0019] Furthermore, one end of the inlet of the heat dissipation coil is provided with a liquid inlet pipeline, and the other end of the outlet is provided with a liquid outlet pipeline. The heat dissipation coil is arranged inside the heat dissipation cylinder, and the connecting pipeline is used to connect the heat dissipation coils inside the heat dissipation cylinder between two by two.

[0020] Furthermore, the liquid inlet pipeline and the heat dissipation coil are connected by a clamp head, and the liquid outlet pipeline and the heat dissipation coil are connected by a clamp head.

[0021] Furthermore, it further includes an explosion-proof temperature control box. The explosion-proof temperature control box is electrically connected to the air-cooling assembly, and a thermometer is installed at the end of the liquid outlet pipeline to feedback temperature data to the temperature control box in real time.

[0022] Furthermore, a plurality of rib plates are further arranged on the inner wall of the heat dissipation cylinder, and the heat dissipation pipeline is fixed to the inner wall of the heat dissipation cylinder through the rib plates.

[0023] Furthermore, the base adopts a "ri" - shaped groove steel structure, and a plurality of lifting lugs are further arranged on the base

[0024] The technical solution adopted by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] In this application, the heat dissipation cylinder and the heat dissipation coil are distributed in multiple layers. Since the diameter of the heat dissipation coil is thicker than that of the liquid inlet pipeline, the flow velocity of the high-temperature crude oil decreases after entering the heat dissipation coil; during the process of the high-temperature crude oil flowing from the bottom layer of the heat dissipation coil to the top layer of the heat dissipation coil, each group of air-cooling assemblies conducts air-cooling heat exchange to achieve gradient cooling of the high-temperature crude oil: when each group of eddy current fans operates, the cooling air is inhaled from outside the spiral air inlet, and the formed eddy current cooling air can pass between the outer surface of the flow velocity column and the inner wall of the heat dissipation cylinder, which can greatly increase the flow velocity of the cooling air and fully conduct air-cooling heat dissipation on the heat dissipation coil. At the same time, the outlet thermometer can monitor the temperature of the outlet crude oil in real time and feedback data to the explosion-proof temperature control box, and the explosion-proof temperature control box timely controls the opening and closing of several eddy current fans, thereby realizing automatic temperature reduction. This device has the advantages of environmental protection, practicality, high efficiency and convenient maintenance. Description of the Drawings

[0036] In this embodiment, since the heat dissipation cylinders 9 are distributed in multiple layers, correspondingly, the heat dissipation coils 10 are also distributed in multiple layers.

According to the set temperature, the temperature of the crude oil outlet can be detected and the eddy current fan 12 can be automatically started or shut down.

[0043] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a plurality of rib plates 8 are also provided on the inner wall of the heat dissipation cylinder 9. The heat dissipation pipeline is fixed to the inner wall of the heat dissipation cylinder 9 through the rib plates 8. The rib plates 8 are cuboids with a size of 5*5 mm and a length of 6 meters, so as to facilitate the fixation of the heat dissipation pipeline.

[0044] Specifically, when the present invention is specifically implemented, it includes the following steps:

[0046] 2. Use: Start the explosion-proof temperature control box 14, and the thermometer installed on the liquid outlet pipeline 11 feeds back data to the explosion-proof temperature control box 14.
