Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ethylene storage tanks, in particular to an ethylene storage tank with improved pre-cooling efficiency. Background Art
[0002] The ethylene tank is a low-temperature spherical tank. When the ethylene storage tank is first put into use or put into use for the first time after maintenance, it needs to be gas-phase pre-cooling and liquid-phase pre-cooling. The pre-cooling temperature cannot exceed 5℃ / h at most, and it must eventually be reduced to -34℃ before ethylene can be normally introduced. The original design of the ethylene tank gas-phase pre-cooling process in the olefin tank area is that the gas-phase ethylene enters the pre-cooling tank. After the pressure reaches equilibrium with other storage tanks, the gas-phase ethylene in the pre-cooling tank is discharged into the flare pipe network. It takes about 5 replacements to achieve the purpose of gas-phase pre-cooling. In the existing technology, the staff needs to use the ladder on the ethylene tank to climb to the top of the tank body. When repairing multiple tank bodies, multiple climbs are required, which makes the repair efficiency less than ideal. In addition, gas-phase pre-cooling will waste a lot of ethylene, and the pre-cooling efficiency is less than ideal.
[0003] For example, patent publication number CN214567917U is specifically a double-layer spherical tank. The double-layer spherical tank includes an outer spherical tank, an inner spherical tank located in the outer spherical tank, and a support member supported between the inner spherical tank and the outer spherical tank. There is a gap between the inner spherical tank and the outer spherical tank to form a sandwich space; the center of the inner spherical tank is higher than the center of the outer spherical tank; the support member is located in the sandwich space; the support member includes a plurality of slings arranged at intervals along the circumference of the inner spherical tank, the top end of each sling is connected to the inner circumferential wall of the outer spherical tank, and the bottom end is connected to the outer circumferential wall of the inner spherical tank. The double-layer spherical tank is formed by setting the center of the inner spherical tank higher than the center of the outer spherical tank, that is, an eccentric structure, so that the bottom of the inner spherical tank is aligned with the bottom of the outer spherical tank. The bottom interlayer space between them is larger, which is convenient for the installation of pipelines located in the bottom interlayer space and meets the gas sealing requirements of the liquid phase pipeline. Compared with the relevant technology, the double-layer spherical tank in this embodiment does not increase the volume of the outer spherical tank. Therefore, the material used in the outer spherical tank is reduced, thereby saving costs. However, there is a problem that the staff need to use the ladder on the ethylene tank to climb to the top of the tank body, and multiple climbs are required when inspecting multiple tank bodies, making the inspection efficiency less than ideal, and gas phase pre-cooling will waste a lot of ethylene, and the pre-cooling efficiency is less than ideal.
