Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates specifically to the field of petrochemical industry, and in particular to a device for quickly detecting the water content in oil. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the times and social progress, people's use of and attention to oil is increasing. Research has found that factors affecting the performance and stability of oil supply systems include contamination such as microscopic water particles. Oil is widely used in various fields in daily life, such as the automotive, power, chemical, and food industries. Therefore, scientific and reasonable measurement of the water content of common oil types is crucial. Therefore, rapid self-calibration testing of minute water content in oil is a key focus.
[0003] Among the existing technologies for detecting water content in oil, one commonly used method is to evaporate the water inside the crude oil for measurement. However, this technical method has the disadvantages of poor detection accuracy and inconvenient operation. Another commonly used method is the microwave method, which is heavily dependent on the measurement accuracy and stability of electronic and power facilities and equipment. Therefore, this new application intends to reasonably combine the two to improve the accuracy and stability of the oil water content detection device.
[0004] The advantages of microwave moisture measurement include fast measurement speed, high accuracy, non-invasiveness, and unaffected by the color and transparency of the measured medium. However, its disadvantages include susceptibility to interference from the surrounding environment and the need for shielding and anti-interference measures. Infrared spectroscopy offers high measurement accuracy, but requires heating the oil to convert it into gas, leading to longer waiting times for test results. Utility Model Content
[0005] This new method aims to solve the problem of accuracy when using microwaves alone to detect the water content in oil, and solve the problem that when using infrared spectroscopy alone to detect the water content in oil, it takes a long time to detect the water content due to the need to heat the gas in the gas chamber.
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, this application is implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A device for quickly detecting water content in oil comprises an oil pipeline, one end of which is provided with a suction port, the suction port being fixedly connected to a microwave sensor, the microwave sensor being connected to a data acquisition unit via a data line, and the data acquisition unit being connected to an electronic control module via a data line.
[0008] The other end of the oil pipeline is connected to the sampling port of the quantitative pump, the output end of the quantitative pump is connected to the inlet of the heating furnace, the output end of the heating furnace is connected to the inlet of the fine filter, the output end of the fine filter is connected to one end of the air pump, and the air pump outlet is connected to the air chamber.
[0009] The data acquisition unit is connected to the calibration analyzer via a data line, and the calibration analyzer is connected to the receiver via a data line.
[0010] The air chamber is arranged between the infrared transmitter and the receiver.
[0011] A moisture content tester is provided at the bottom of the microwave sensor. A microwave generator is installed inside the moisture content tester. The output end of the microwave generator is connected to the power divider through a data line.
[0012] The power divider is connected to the microwave transmitting probe via a data line, the power divider is connected to the detector via a data line, one end of the detector is connected to the microwave receiving probe via a data line, and the microwave transmitting probe and the microwave receiving probe are installed in the oil pipeline.
[0013] The side wall of the air chamber is made of infrared optically transparent material, and the photosensitive sheet in the material is lithium tantalate pyroelectric material.
[0014] The air outlet of the air chamber is connected to the exhaust gas collector.
[0015] The electronic control module is also connected to an infrared emitter via a data line.
[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of this new technology are:
[0017] This new device is used to quickly detect the water content in oil, using microwave radiation to measure the water content for a preliminary determination. First, a microwave signal is transmitted into the measured medium via a transmitting probe, and then the reflected microwave signal is received by a receiving probe. Due to the varying dielectric constants and conductivity of the measured medium, the intensity attenuation value A and phase shift P of the reflected microwave signal will vary. By measuring these changes, the water content of the measured medium can be calculated.
[0018] 2. This new method combines the two methods, calibrates the microwave method through spectroscopy to form a correction coefficient, and then takes advantage of the fast response of the microwave method to form a rapid detection capability.
[0019] 3. This new method and device for rapid self-calibration of minute water content in oil is simple and has a wide range of applications. It can be widely used in the maintenance and calibration of petrochemical and large-scale lubricating water content equipment.
[0020] 4. This novel invention aims to propose a method and device for rapid self-calibration detection of minute water content in oil. First, the microwave method is used to rapidly detect the water content in the oil, and the output value is a current value, which is characterized by high speed. Second, the spectral method with high water content measurement accuracy is used to calibrate the water content measured by the microwave method, so that the water therein can be fully evaporated. The two methods are combined, and the microwave method is calibrated by the spectral method to form a correction coefficient. Then, the advantage of the fast response of the microwave method is utilized. Under the same conditions, the water content detected by the microwave method is fitted with the water content detected by the infrared method to obtain a correction relationship applicable to the entire water content range of the two methods. After the microwave method is used to rapidly measure the water content, the correction relationship is brought into play to correct the water content. Finally, an accurate value equivalent to the water content measured by infrared spectroscopy under the same conditions is obtained; thus, a device for rapidly and accurately detecting the water content in oil is formed.
[0021] 5. The fitting relationship obtained by this calibration method, combined with the microwave water measuring device in this new model, saves the time for infrared preheating and insulation, and obtains the test results of the water content in the oil quickly and accurately. The measurement result is shorter than that obtained by directly using the infrared method. Compared with directly using the microwave method to measure the water content, the accuracy is higher. It can also increase the service life of the quantitative pump in the infrared water measuring instrument. When the probe of the water content tester is immersed in oil for a long time, the accuracy will decrease, resulting in the need to regularly check and calibrate the transmitting probe and the receiving probe. The new model can solve the probe accuracy problem of the water content tester by recalibration. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
