Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquefied natural gas (LNG) refueling technology, and more specifically, to an LNG skid-mounted refueling device. Background Technology
[0002] Liquefied natural gas (LNG), primarily composed of methane, is widely recognized as the cleanest fossil fuel on Earth. Natural gas requires refueling equipment for use. Skid-mounted systems integrate functional components onto a single base, allowing for complete installation and relocation. However, most commercially available skid-mounted refueling units lack pressure regulation capabilities. This can easily lead to excessive pressure during natural gas delivery, causing transmission to halt and reducing efficiency. Consequently, this reduces work efficiency and increases time costs.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent CN211821723U discloses a stable, easily pressure-adjustable LNG skid-mounted refueling device. Through the coordinated use of connecting pipes, sealing doors, movable rods, stops, a first sealing ring, a handle, a second sealing ring, a fixing sleeve, and internal and external threads, the device achieves easy pressure adjustment, thus solving the problem of inconvenient pressure adjustment in general LNG skid-mounted refueling devices. This improves natural gas transmission efficiency, further enhancing work efficiency and making the device more convenient and worry-free for users, thereby bringing convenience to their work.
[0004] When the above-mentioned gas filling device is in use, natural gas enters the air-temperature vaporizer body through the inlet pipe, and natural gas is discharged through the outlet pipe after the control valve is opened. However, it is inconvenient to monitor the gas pressure during the inlet and outlet, which poses certain safety hazards and results in poor performance. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an LNG skid-mounted refueling device, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an LNG skid-mounted refueling device, comprising a storage tank, a first gas pipe fixedly connected to one side of the storage tank, a second gas pipe movably disposed on one side of the first gas pipe, a connector fixedly connected to the end of the second gas pipe away from the first gas pipe, a conveying component and an output component disposed on the first gas pipe, the conveying component being located on top of the output component, the conveying component comprising a third gas pipe, a booster vaporizer and a first valve, and the output component comprising a fourth gas pipe, a cryogenic pump, a refueling machine and a second valve.
[0007] Furthermore, the two ends of the third air pipe are fixedly connected to the first air pipe and the second air pipe, respectively, and the booster vaporizer and the first valve are both fixedly installed on the third air pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, the two ends of the fourth gas pipe are fixedly connected to the first gas pipe and the second gas pipe, respectively, and the cryogenic pump, the gas dispenser and the second valve are all fixedly installed on the fourth gas pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, a pressure detector is fixedly installed on the first trachea, and a pressure relief assembly is provided on one side of the pressure detector. The pressure relief assembly includes a fifth trachea, a second connecting plate, and a third valve.
[0010] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, gas pressure is monitored by a pressure detector.
[0011] Furthermore, one end of the fifth air pipe is fixedly connected to the first air pipe, and the other end of the fifth air pipe is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate, and the third valve is fixedly installed on the fifth air pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, a first connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the storage tank.
[0013] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the first connecting plate is fixedly installed in a designated position by bolts, thereby supporting the storage tank.
[0014] Furthermore, a protective frame is fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting plate, and the protective frame is movably disposed on the outside of the storage tank.
[0015] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the protective frame can protect the storage tank and prevent external sharp objects from damaging it.
[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. This utility model allows LNG in the LNG tanker to flow into the storage tank through the third gas pipe after being pressurized by opening the control valve on the booster vaporizer. The connector is inserted into the air inlet of the LNG storage cylinder of the vehicle, the first valve is closed and the second valve is opened, and the gas dispenser is responsible for adding LNG into the LNG storage cylinder of the vehicle.
