Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vinyl acetate storage equipment, in particular to a vinyl acetate storage system. Background Art
[0002] Vinyl acetate, also known as vinyl acetate, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H6O2. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet ethereal smell. It is mainly used to synthesize vinylon and is also used as a chemical reagent in the adhesive and coating industries. It is generally stored and transported in special storage tanks.
[0003] Vinyl acetate plays an extremely important role as a chemical raw material in the chemical industry. However, it is a toxic, harmful, flammable and explosive medium, which results in extremely harsh storage conditions. When mixed with air, there is an explosion risk of 2.6% to 13.4% (volume). If the storage temperature is too high, it will decompose to produce acetic acid, and there is a risk of spontaneous combustion.
[0004] The storage temperature of vinyl acetate is generally controlled below 30°C. In summer or other places with high temperatures, the vinyl acetate in the storage tank will be at high temperature and the air pressure in the storage tank will increase, which may lead to the risk of explosion. At the same time, the increase in temperature will accelerate the self-polymerization of vinyl acetate, resulting in an uncontrolled polymerization reaction, which will generate greater pressure on the storage tank and may cause major safety accidents in severe cases.
[0005] Patent CN202657499U discloses a vinyl acetate storage tank that uses a spray device to cool the outside of the tank by spraying water to control the internal temperature of the tank, thereby controlling the polymerization of vinyl acetate. However, this spraying method wastes water resources and affects the surrounding storage environment. Furthermore, after the vinyl acetate is partially discharged from the tank, the air pressure inside the tank decreases, affecting the continued output of vinyl acetate. Utility Model Content

The remote thermometer 16 can monitor the temperature in the vinyl acetate storage tank 1 in real time and transmit the temperature information to a receiving device.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the nitrogen pressure regulating valve includes a first solenoid valve 7, a first pressure transmitter 8 and a first PLC controller (not shown in the accompanying drawings). The first solenoid valve 7 is installed in the nitrogen inlet pipeline 6. The first pressure transmitter 8 is connected to the vinyl acetate storage tank 1 for detecting the internal air pressure of the vinyl acetate storage tank 1. The first pressure transmitter 8 is connected to the first solenoid valve 7 through the first PLC controller. The air pressure in the vinyl acetate storage tank 1 is detected in real time through the first pressure transmitter 8. When the air pressure in the vinyl acetate storage tank 1 drops to a set value, the first PLC controller controls the first solenoid valve 7 to open, input nitrogen into the vinyl acetate storage tank 1, and replenish the pressure inside the vinyl acetate storage tank 1; when the pressure is replenished to the set pressure, the first PLC controller controls the first solenoid valve 7 to close and stop replenishing nitrogen.
[0036] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent the nitrogen inlet pipeline 6 from opening under the control of the nitrogen pressure regulating valve when the vinyl acetate storage tank 1 is empty or does not store vinyl acetate, the nitrogen inlet pipeline 6 is also provided with a corresponding valve for manual or remote human control of the opening and closing of the nitrogen inlet pipeline 6.
