[0025] Example
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a wet saturated steam-liquid two-phase measurement system, including: a main pipeline 1, and further including: a sampling cooler 5 and a control system 14; the sampling cooler 5 is provided with a coolant inlet pipeline, a coolant outlet pipeline, a sample inlet pipeline and a sample outlet pipeline; a metering pump 7 and a first temperature transmitter 6 are provided on the coolant inlet pipeline; a third temperature transmitter 9 is provided on the coolant outlet pipeline; the sample inlet pipeline is connected to the main pipeline 1; a second temperature transmitter 11 and a flow meter 12 are provided on the sample outlet pipeline; a pressure transmitter 2 is provided on the main pipeline 1; the control system 14 is communicatively connected to the first temperature transmitter 6, the second temperature transmitter 11, the third temperature transmitter 9, the metering pump 7, the flow meter 12 and the pressure transmitter 2 respectively.
[0027] In the embodiment, one end of the cooling liquid inlet pipeline is connected with the buffer tank 8 for storing the cooling liquid, and the metering pump 7 and the first temperature transmitter 6 are sequentially arranged on the cooling liquid inlet pipeline according to the liquid inlet direction of the cooling liquid.
[0028] In the embodiment, the third temperature transmitter 9 and the air cooler 10 are sequentially arranged on the cooling liquid outlet pipeline according to the liquid outlet direction of the cooling liquid. In the high-cold region, water is easily frozen and cannot be used; if air is directly cooled, the heat is not easy to measure; therefore, the antifreezing cooling liquid is used for cooling, and the air cooler 10 is used for cooling the cooling liquid, which is more suitable for the actual application in the high-cold region.
[0029] In the embodiment, the outlet end of the cooling liquid outlet pipeline is connected with the buffer tank 8.
[0030] In the embodiment, the sampling valve 3 is arranged on the sample inlet pipeline.
[0031] In the embodiment, the flow restrictor 4 is arranged on the sample inlet pipeline, and the sampling valve 3 and the flow restrictor 4 are sequentially arranged according to the sample inlet direction.
[0032] In the embodiment, the second temperature transmitter 11 and the flow meter 12 are sequentially arranged on the sample outlet pipeline according to the sample outlet direction.
[0033] In the embodiment, the outlet end of the sample outlet pipeline is connected with the condensate water collecting device 13.
[0034] In the embodiment, the bypass heat exchange pipeline is arranged in the sampling cooler 5, and the sampled sample in the heat exchange pipeline exchanges heat with the cooling liquid outside the heat exchange pipeline.
[0035] In the embodiment, the control system 14 adopts the PLC control system.
[0036] The working principle and working process of the utility model are as follows:
[0037] When heavy oil is exploited, the high-speed flowing wet saturated steam is usually in a turbulent state under most actual working conditions, the sample of the wet saturated steam is branched from the main pipeline 1 by the sampling valve 3, enters the sampling cooler 5, and is cooled to below 100 DEG C by the cooling liquid, so that the wet saturated steam is converted into liquid water and leaves the cooler. The second temperature transmitter 11 and the flow meter 12 arranged on the sample outlet pipeline after the cooler read T3 and M1 respectively.
[0038] Since the medium in the main pipeline 1 is in saturated state, the enthalpy values of saturated water and saturated steam under the pressure measured by the pressure transmitter 2 arranged in the main pipeline 1 can be found, which are h and H respectively. The readings of the metering pump 7 arranged in the cooling liquid inlet pipeline and the first temperature transmitter 6 and the third temperature transmitter 9 arranged in the cooling liquid inlet pipeline and the cooling liquid outlet pipeline are M2, T2 and T1 respectively. The cooling liquid absorbs the heat of the sample after passing through the cooler and is then cooled again by using the external environment, i.e. the air cooler 10. The cooling liquid part and the sample water part in the system should be made of the same material and the external contact area should be controlled to be approximate so as to ensure that the heat loss is offset.
[0039] According to the total heat absorption of the cooling liquid = the total heat release of the sample, the total heat release of the gas phase in the sample is obtained through the heat balance analysis, and then the gas-liquid two-phase ratio in the sample is calculated.
[0040] The liquid phase mass ratio of the sample is X, which is obtained through the heat balance analysis.
[0041] X = {M2C2(T2-T1) + M1C1T3-HM1} / ((h-H)M1)
[0042] Wherein,
[0043] M1 is the accumulated flow of the flowmeter condensate, unit: kg;
[0044] M2 is the accumulated flow of the metering pump cooling liquid, unit: kg;
[0045] T1 is the reading of the third temperature transmitter, unit: ℃;
[0046] T2 is the reading of the first temperature transmitter, unit: ℃;
[0047] T3 is the reading of the second temperature transmitter, unit: ℃;
[0048] h is the enthalpy value of saturated water under the reading of the pressure transmitter, unit: kj / kg;
[0049] H is the enthalpy value of saturated steam under the reading of the pressure transmitter, unit: kj / kg;
[0050] C1 is the specific heat of the condensate, unit: kj / (kg ℃);
[0051] C2 is the specific heat of the cooling liquid, unit: kj / (kg ℃).
[0052] The PLC calculator arranged in the control system 14 inputs the enthalpy values of the gas phase and the liquid phase under different pressures and the specific heat of the cooling liquid into the calculator, and inputs the measurement results into the PLC control system in real time, so that the gas-liquid ratio can be displayed in real time, achieving the effect of automation.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not limited to them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
