TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a compressor field, concretely relates to a hydrogen compressor export oil -water mixture device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In BDO (1,4-butanediol) production, hydrogen is generated in the wet acetylene process, and then is sent to the synthesis process by compressor for pressure boosting to synthesize BDO with BYD (1,4-butynediol). Since the outlet pressure of the second stage of hydrogen compressor is 17-20 MPa, and the outlet pressure of the third stage is 29-31 MPa, part of the organic matter and water will be liquefied in the compression process. However, water content in hydrogen should be avoided in the synthesis of BDO. Therefore, a separator is arranged at the outlet of the second stage and the outlet of the third stage of the compressor to separate the mixed oil-water mixture. The oil-water mixture separated by the separator needs to be discharged frequently. When discharging the oil-water, the bottom gate valve and stop valve of the separator are opened to discharge the liquid. However, it is difficult to accurately determine whether the oil-water mixture in the separator is completely discharged or not. In addition, if a large amount of hydrogen is discharged from the bottom of the separator, frictional heat is generated, which can easily cause fire or explosion accidents. SUMMARY

[0006] A hydrogen pressure gauge and a liquid level meter are installed on the separator, and a buffer tank pressure gauge is installed on the buffer tank; a first liquid discharge solenoid valve is installed on the pipeline between the separator and the buffer tank, a second liquid discharge solenoid valve is installed on the liquid discharge pipe, a nitrogen solenoid valve is installed on the nitrogen inlet pipe, and a vent solenoid valve is installed on the vent pipe;
[0007] The signal output ends of the hydrogen pressure gauge, the liquid level meter and the buffer tank pressure gauge are electrically connected with the signal input end of a controller, and the signal output end of the controller is connected with the signal input ends of the first liquid discharge solenoid valve, the second liquid discharge solenoid valve, the nitrogen solenoid valve and the vent solenoid valve respectively.
[0008] Preferably, a pressure regulating valve is further arranged on the nitrogen inlet pipe, and the pressure regulating valve is electrically connected with the signal output end of the controller.
[0009] The utility model discloses a advantage: through increasing buffer tank for collecting oil water, and in the buffer tank fills nitrogen gas below the pressure of separator, after buffer tank pressure rises, separator no liquid level, cut off the connection of separator and buffer tank again, after discharging gas, discharges gas-liquid mixture again, greatly reduces the risk of high-pressure hydrogen gas out of fire, explosion accident when discharging oil water mixture.
