Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas chromatography pre-drying of a comprehensive gas logging instrument for petroleum geological exploration, in particular to a gas chromatography sample gas drying device. Background Art
[0002] During comprehensive gas logging, the gas chromatography sample drying unit uses a borosilicate glass drying tube filled with desiccant. The gas to be dried enters the inlet under the pressure of the sample pump, directly contacts the desiccant, and then exits the outlet, resulting in dry gas. The desiccant must be regularly replaced, cleaned, and dried before being refilled. However, these drying tubes are expensive. Due to the harsh operating environment, mud is often drawn into the tube, where it solidifies with the desiccant, forming a hard mass that is difficult to clean. Cleaning the tubes is a significant workload for employees. Especially during winter, when temperatures are low, these drying tubes are prone to freezing at the threads, making them difficult to open and replace with new desiccant, a significant challenge for employees. Furthermore, these drying tubes are susceptible to damage, resulting in financial losses. The upper and lower covers and threads are also prone to leaks. Furthermore, due to the low charge, the gas released from the drilling fluid, which carries a high amount of water, directly contacts the desiccant, resulting in a short service life.
[0003] The above information disclosed in the background technology section is only for enhancing understanding of the background of the present invention and therefore may contain information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field. Utility Model Content

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, a gas chromatography sample drying device of the present invention includes:
[0037] The tube body 7 includes a first opening at the bottom and a second opening at the top.
[0038] an air inlet cover 10, which is sealed and connected to the first opening,
[0039] an air outlet cover 2, which is sealed and connected to the second opening;
[0040] The porous plate 8 is transversely arranged in the tube body 7 to separate the tube body 7 into a condensation chamber 9 near the first opening and a drying chamber 6 near the second opening. The drying chamber 6 is filled with a desiccant layer 5.
[0041] The filter cotton layer 4 is arranged horizontally on the drying layer.
[0042] The float ball 3 is floated between the filter cotton layer 4 and the air outlet cover 2 .
[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample gas drying device, both the gas inlet cover 10 and the gas outlet cover 2 are provided with a sealing ring 11 .
[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample gas drying device, the gas outlet cover 2 is connected to the gas pipeline 1.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample drying device, the tube body 7 is a structure that is thick in the middle and thin at both ends.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample gas drying device, the air inlet cover 10 is detachably sealed and connected to the first opening, and the air outlet cover 2 is detachably sealed and connected to the second opening.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample drying device, the volume of the drying chamber 6 is greater than the volume of the condensing chamber 9 .
[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample gas drying device, the diameter of the float 3 is larger than the diameter of the gas outlet cover 2 .
[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample drying device, a plurality of circular holes are evenly distributed on the porous plate 8 .
[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample drying device, the filter cotton layer 4 is at least 3 cm thick.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the gas chromatography sample gas drying device, the gas chromatography sample gas drying device has a symmetrical structure.
[0052] In one embodiment, the tube body 7 has excellent transparency, impact resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, which can ensure the safety and sealing of the tube body 7. The tube body 7 is made of polypropylene material and is very cheap. The gas chromatography sample gas drying device consists of a detachable air inlet cover 10, an air outlet cover 2 and a tube body 7; a sealing ring 11 is provided on the air inlet cover 10 and the air outlet cover 2. When the cover is tightened, the sealing ring 11 has a good sealing effect. In addition, the air inlet cover 10 and the air outlet cover 2 adopt a small cover design, which solves the problem of being difficult to unscrew and tighten. The tube body 7 is divided into a drying chamber 6 and a condensation chamber 9 by a porous plate 8. A float 3 is added to the tube body 7 to prevent mud from being sucked into the drying tube. When the mud is sucked into the drying tube, the float 3 will float up under the action of buoyancy, blocking the air inlet, thereby preventing the mud from being sucked into the gas pipeline 1, and even damaging the instrument inside the instrument. When the electric degasser removes sample gas from the drilling fluid, the sample gas carries a large amount of water vapor. Under the suction of the sample gas pump, it first enters the condensation chamber from the bottom air inlet of the drying tube. Within the condensation chamber 9, the water vapor is fully condensed, forming water droplets that condense on the chamber walls, removing most of the water in the sample gas. The condensed gas then passes through the pores of the porous plate 8 and enters the drying chamber 6. There, it comes into contact with the desiccant, which absorbs moisture again. After passing through the desiccant, the gas passes through the filter cotton at the top of the drying chamber 6, where excess impurities are filtered out. It then enters the gas outlet 1 and leads to the chromatography equipment. This drying device requires no cleaning and is disposable; it can be replaced after use. The used drying tubes are then collected, stored, and disposed of uniformly. This saves time and effort, significantly reducing the workload for employees cleaning the drying tubes. It also significantly reduces the cost of purchasing expensive borosilicate drying tubes.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0054] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
