Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas compression, in particular to a low-temperature liquid expander reliquefaction device. Background Art
[0002] Gas liquefaction equipment typically includes a compressor, purifier, storage tank, infusion system, automatic control system, and gas storage system. The liquefied gas is compressed by the compressor and expanded by the expander to cool it (or pre-cooled by an external cooling source). The purifier removes water vapor and other impurities with high condensation temperatures to prevent them from solidifying at low temperatures and clogging pipes and valves.
[0003] An existing Chinese utility model patent with reference number CN206094744U discloses a gas liquefaction device comprising a liquid container and a refrigerator. The bottom of the liquid container is a liquid space, and the top is a gas space. The refrigerator includes an evaporator disposed within the liquid container, a regenerator connected to the evaporator, a condenser connected to the regenerator, and a compressor connected to the condenser. The compressor is also connected to the regenerator. The compressor and condenser are disposed outside the liquid container and form a circulation loop with the evaporator and regenerator. The gas liquefaction device is compact, simple in structure, and easy to use, meeting the needs of various applications.
[0004] Due to the influence of compression ratio, existing gas liquefaction equipment needs to compress the gas first and then pass the compressed gas into the cooling structure. Due to the influence of heat exchange efficiency, the existing cooling device can only complete the conversion of part of the gas, which is very inconvenient when collecting subsequent liquefied gas. At the same time, the existing cooling device generally introduces a circulating coolant through an inner tube to absorb the heat of the gas and liquefy the gas. However, the existing cooling device cannot limit the flow direction of the gas. The gas flow direction in the cooling structure is single, and the heat exchange efficiency is low.
