Detailed Implementation

[0014] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0015] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0016] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, a storage tank pressure conveying device includes a feeding tower 100, tank A 200, and tank B 300. A feeding pipe connects the feeding tower 100 and tank A 200. A conveying pipe 400 connects the bottom of tank A and the top of tank B. A high-pressure gas pipe 500 for introducing high-pressure inert gas is connected to the upper part of tank A. A fourth valve is provided on the high-pressure gas pipe 500. This utility model utilizes gas pressure to convey liquid media. The liquid media in the feeding tower 100 enters tank A by gravity, and the high-pressure gas pipe 500 introduces high pressure into tank A, thus solving the potential danger of flammable, explosive, and highly toxic liquids being conveyed by a pump.

[0017] In this embodiment, the gas in the high-pressure gas pipe 500 can be an inert gas such as helium, nitrogen, or argon. Its purity can be appropriately selected at the 3-7N level depending on the material. The pressure of the inert gas can be 0.1-5 MPa. The high-pressure gas pipe can be connected to a gas storage tank or it can be a pipeline led out from a utility project.

[0018] In this embodiment, a pressure gauge is provided on the top of tank A and connected to a pressure relief pipe, and a pressure relief valve is provided on the pressure relief pipe.

[0019] In this embodiment, a first valve is provided on the delivery pipe 400.

[0020] In this embodiment, a bypass pipe 600 is connected in parallel to both ends of the first valve on the delivery pipe. A delivery pump 610 is installed on the bypass pipe, and a second valve and a third valve are installed at both ends of the delivery pump. By adding the bypass pipe and the delivery pump, both pumping and pressure delivery modes are achieved. The corresponding delivery mode can be selected according to the characteristics of the liquid medium. When delivering ordinary liquid media, the delivery pump can be selected for delivery, which is more efficient and faster. Furthermore, when the delivery pump is being maintained or repaired, it can be switched to pressure delivery, reducing the downtime of the pump during maintenance and repair. When delivering flammable, explosive, or highly toxic liquids, pressure delivery can be selected for greater safety and reliability.

[0021] Specific work process:

[0022] 1. Liquid materials enter tank A from the feed tower. Under normal operating conditions, the materials are transported to tank B by the transfer pump.

[0023] 2. If the pump malfunctions, the valves before and after the pump can be disconnected for easier maintenance.

[0024] 3. At this point, the inert gas in the upper layer of tank A, preferably nitrogen, can be used to increase the pressure of nitrogen in tank A to 2MPa by controlling the opening of the fourth valve, so that the liquid stored in tank A can be transported to tank B under pressure.

[0025] 4. After the delivery is completed, the nitrogen in tank A can be depressurized through the pressure relief valve.

[0026] Example 2: Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the different supply method of the high-pressure inert gas. In this embodiment, a high-pressure gas storage tank 700 and a low-pressure gas storage tank 800 are also included. The high-pressure gas pipe is connected to the high-pressure gas storage tank, and the high-pressure gas storage tank and the low-pressure gas storage tank are connected through a gas supply pipe. A gas pump is provided on the gas supply pipe. A return pipe is connected between the upper part of the A tank and the low-pressure gas storage tank, and a fifth valve is provided on the return pipe.

[0027] Specific work process:

[0028] 1. Liquid material enters tank A from the feed tower. When liquid is being transported, the opening of the fourth valve on the high-pressure gas pipe 500 is controlled to introduce high-pressure inert gas, preferably nitrogen, into tank A from the high-pressure gas storage tank. This increases the pressure of the nitrogen in the upper layer of tank A to 2 MPa, and the liquid stored in tank A is then transported to tank B under pressure.

[0029] 2. When the delivery is completed, the nitrogen gas on the upper layer of the A tank can be discharged to the low-pressure gas storage tank through the reflux pipe.

Because there are many values, it is impossible to enumerate, therefore, the utility model discloses partial numerical value to illustrate the technical scheme of the utility model, and the above enumerated numerical value should not constitute the restriction of the protection scope of the utility model.

[0031] If the utility model discloses or involves mutually fixed connecting parts or structural members, then, except another declaration, fixed connection can be understood as: detachable fixed connection (for example, bolt or screw connection), and can also be understood as: non-detachable fixed connection (for example, riveting, welding), of course, the mutually fixed connection can also be replaced by integral structure (for example, integrally formed by using casting process) (except obviously cannot adopt integral forming process).
