[0031] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0033] The gas source heating device of this utility model embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] The gas source heating device provided in this embodiment is installed upstream of the pressure regulating valve pilot to preheat the gas source before it enters the pressure regulating valve pilot. This effectively prevents condensation or even freezing of the gas source inside the pressure regulating valve pilot in low-temperature environments, thus ensuring the pressure regulating valve can operate continuously and normally, unaffected by severe weather conditions.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the gas source heating device of this utility model embodiment may include a heat exchange tank 1, a gas source pipeline 2, a solar collector 3, an electric heater 4, a first temperature detector 5, and a control box 6.
[0036] The heat exchange tank 1 is provided with a cavity 10.
[0037] The gas source pipeline 2 is placed in the cavity 10. The inlet 20 and outlet 21 of the gas source pipeline 2 are respectively arranged outside the heat exchange tank 1. The inlet 20 of the gas source pipeline 2 is connected to the external gas supply pipeline, and the outlet 21 of the gas source pipeline 2 is connected to the pressure regulating valve pilot.
[0038] Among them, the pipelines placed in the cavity 10 can adopt a U-shaped, circular, elliptical, serpentine, or spiral layout, which can be selected according to the actual situation. This design can significantly increase the contact time and contact area between the gas in the gas source pipeline 2 and the circulating medium 31, thereby effectively improving the heating efficiency of the gas in the gas source pipeline 2 and enhancing the heating effect.
[0039] The solar collector plate 3 is circulated to the cavity 10 through the connecting pipe 30. The solar collector plate 3 and the cavity 10 are respectively filled with a circulating medium 31. The circulating medium 31 circulates between the solar collector plate 3 and the cavity 10. The solar collector plate 3 is used to heat the circulating medium 31. It can be understood that the solar collector plate 3 absorbs heat and converts solar energy into thermal energy to heat the circulating medium 31 inside. At the same time, it can also utilize the thermosiphon effect after the circulating medium 31 is heated, and rely on the density change of the circulating medium 31 after heating to realize the circulation of the circulating medium 31 between the solar collector plate 3 and the cavity 10.
[0040] As a possible case, in order to facilitate the circulation of the circulating medium 31 to accelerate, the solar heat collecting plate 3 and the heat exchange tank 1 can be arranged to have a drop between them, so as to accelerate the flow rate of the circulating medium 31 by gravity, or a circulating pump is additionally arranged on the connecting pipeline 30.
[0041] It should be noted that the circulating medium 31 can be one of water, antifreeze and heat conducting oil, which can be selected according to actual conditions. Preferably, the circulating medium 31 is heat conducting oil, which is significantly superior to water and antifreeze in high temperature stability, wide temperature range adaptability, low maintenance requirement and the like, and is particularly suitable for high temperature output or extreme climate, so as to ensure the stability of long-term operation.
[0042] As a possible case, a metal pipe bundle encapsulating phase change material can be embedded in the cavity 10 to store excess heat during the day and release heat at night or on rainy days to maintain the temperature difference of the circulation.
[0043] Specifically, during the day, the solar heat collecting plate absorbs solar energy and converts it into heat energy to heat the circulating medium 31. The circulating medium 31 transfers heat to the metal pipe bundle inside the cavity 10, causing the paraffin encapsulated therein to gradually melt and absorb a large amount of latent heat. In this way, the excess heat during the day is effectively stored.
[0044] At night or on rainy days, when the temperature of the circulating medium 31 drops, the paraffin in the metal pipe bundle begins to solidify and release the latent heat stored before. These heat is transferred to the circulating medium 31 through the metal pipe bundle, and in turn heats the gas in the gas source pipeline 2, maintains the temperature difference of the circulation system, and ensures the stable operation of the system.
[0045] The heating end of the electric heater 4 is inserted into the heat exchange tank 1 and is in contact with the circulating medium 31 in the cavity 10, for heating the circulating medium 31, that is, the electric heater 4 can heat the circulating medium 31 by converting electrical energy into heat energy.
[0046] The first temperature detector 5 is installed on the heat exchange tank 1, and the detection end of the first temperature detector 5 is arranged in the cavity 10 in contact with the circulating medium 31, for collecting the temperature of the circulating medium 31 in the cavity 10. The control box 6 is connected with the first temperature detector 5 and the electric heater 4 respectively, for controlling the electric heater 4 according to the collected temperature, and heating the circulating medium 31.
[0047] Specifically, the external gas supply pipeline delivers gas to the pressure regulating valve commander through the gas source pipeline 2. In this process, the solar heat collecting plate 3 absorbs heat and converts solar energy into heat energy to heat the circulating medium 31 inside it. The heated circulating medium 31 flows into the cavity 10 to heat the gas source arranged in the pipeline of the cavity 10, so as to increase the temperature of the gas source in the gas source pipeline 2. This way is energy-saving and environment-friendly, and has low energy consumption.
[0048] During the heating of the gas source, the first temperature detector 5 collects the temperature of the circulating medium 31 in the cavity 10 in real time and feeds back the data to the control box 6, and the control box 6 compares the collected temperature with the preset low temperature threshold temperature, and if it is judged that the collected temperature is lower than the preset low temperature threshold temperature, it indicates that the solar heat collecting plate 3 is affected by external weather, and the heating effect on the circulating medium 31 is unstable or even stops heating.
[0049] At this time, the control box 6 controls the electric heater 4 to operate and assists in heating the circulating medium 31, and after the circulating medium 31 returns to the preset suitable temperature range, the control box 6 can control the electric heater 4 to constant temperature heating or stop heating, so as to ensure the stability of the temperature of the gas source pipeline 2, reduce the energy consumption, and improve the reliability of the device, wherein the preset suitable temperature range and the preset low temperature threshold temperature can be set according to the actual situation.
[0050] Through the cooperative work of solar heating and electric auxiliary heating, the problems of high energy consumption and poor reliability of the traditional single heating mode are effectively solved. The device is particularly suitable for low temperature protection scenes of natural gas transmission and distribution system. At the same time, whether it is solar heating or electric auxiliary heating, it is indirectly heated to the gas source pipeline 2 through the circulating medium 31, which greatly improves the safety of heating compared with the traditional scheme of directly heating the gas source pipeline.
[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The communication pipeline 30 includes a first pipeline 300 and a second pipeline 301, wherein the liquid outlet end of the solar heat collecting plate 3 is connected with the cavity 10 through the first pipeline 300, the liquid inlet end of the solar heat collecting plate 3 is connected with the cavity 10 through the second pipeline 301, the circulating medium 31 is filled in the solar heat collecting plate 3, and the circulating medium 31 circulates between the solar heat collecting plate 3, the first pipeline 300, the cavity 10, the second pipeline 301 and the solar heat collecting plate 3.
[0052] In the above scheme, through the communication of the first pipeline 300 and the second pipeline 301, the circulating medium 31 can form a closed loop circulation between the solar heat collecting plate 3 and the cavity 10, wherein the outer pipe wall of the first pipeline 300 and the second pipeline 301 can also be coated with thermal insulation cotton to reduce heat loss.
[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The gas heating device can further include a solenoid valve 7, the solenoid valve 7 is arranged on the first pipeline 300, and the solenoid valve 7 is connected with the control box 6.
[0054] In the above scheme, by setting the electromagnetic valve 7, when the control box 6 judges that the temperature value collected by the first temperature detector 5 exceeds the preset high temperature threshold, the control box 6 can control the electromagnetic valve 7 to close, stop the circulating flow of the circulating medium 31, and reduce the heat transfer. This action effectively stops the circulating flow of the circulating medium 31, thereby reducing the heat transfer, avoiding potential damage to the gas source pipeline 2 caused by continuous high temperature flow, and effectively prolonging the service life. More importantly, this entire process does not require manual intervention, improving safety.
[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The gas source heating device further comprises a second temperature detector 8, which is arranged on the outlet 21 and used to collect the temperature of the gas source at the outlet 21, and the second temperature detector 8 is connected to the control box 6.
[0056] Specifically, the second temperature detector 8 is used to collect the temperature of the gas source at the outlet 21 and send it to the control box 6. The control box 6 is used to accurately adjust the output power of the electric heater 4 and the working state of the electromagnetic valve 7 according to the temperature data fed back by the second temperature detector 8, so as to ensure that the temperature of the gas source is always kept within the set range. Through accurate control, energy waste or equipment damage caused by excessively high or low gas source temperature can be avoided, thereby improving the performance and efficiency of the entire gas source heating device.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The control box 6 comprises a box body 60, a total power switch 61, a first temperature controller 62, and a first power switch 63.
[0058] The total power switch 61, the first temperature controller 62, and the first power switch 63 are arranged in the box body 60, respectively, and the first power switch 63 is connected to the first temperature controller 62 and the total power switch 61, respectively. The first temperature controller 62 is connected to the first temperature detector 5 and the electromagnetic valve 7, respectively.
[0059] It should be noted that the box body 60 is an explosion-proof box body, which is designed to be explosion-proof, thereby reducing damage caused by explosion accidents caused by electrical equipment failure or improper operation, thereby improving safety.
[0060] In the above scheme, the total power switch 61, the first temperature controller 62, the first power switch 63 and other components are concentrated in the box 60, which is convenient for the operator to manage and monitor uniformly, improves the work efficiency and the convenience of operation. And the function division of each component is clear, such as the total power switch 61 is responsible for the control of the overall power supply, the first temperature controller 62 is responsible for the monitoring, adjustment and control of the temperature, and the first power switch 63 controls the power supply of the first temperature controller 62. The clear function division makes the fault troubleshooting and maintenance become more simple and fast.
[0061] Meanwhile, the first temperature controller 62 is connected with the first temperature detector 5 and the electromagnetic valve 7, realizing automatic detection and control of the temperature. When the temperature reaches the set value, the first temperature controller 62 can control the electromagnetic valve 7 to automatically open or close, thereby adjusting the temperature and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the control.
[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The control box 6 further comprises a second temperature controller 64 and a second power switch 65, wherein the second temperature controller 64 and the second power switch 65 are arranged in the box 60 respectively, the second power switch 65 is connected with the second temperature controller 64 and the total power switch 61 respectively, and the second temperature controller 64 is connected with the second temperature detector 8.
[0063] In the above scheme, by increasing the second temperature controller 64, the control box 6 can now monitor and control two different temperature points or regions simultaneously, and the arrangement of the second temperature controller 64 and the second power switch 65 enables the second temperature control system to operate and maintain independently of the first temperature control system. This means that when one system fails or needs maintenance, the other system can still operate normally, ensuring the continuity and stability of the system.
[0064] Meanwhile, the second power switch 65 can be arranged to control the power supply of the second temperature controller 64 independently, which can cut off the power supply when the second temperature controller 64 fails, so as to prevent the fault from spreading or causing greater damage, and at the same time does not affect the independent operation of the first temperature controller 62.
[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The control box 6 further comprises a temperature control box 66 and a temperature control switch 67, the temperature control switch 67 is arranged on the heat exchange tank 1, the temperature control box 66 is connected with the total power switch 61, the electric heater 4, the first temperature controller 62 and the second temperature controller 64 respectively, and the temperature control switch 67 is connected with the total power switch 61 and the electric heater 4 respectively.
[0066] In the above scheme, the temperature control box 66 is connected with the first temperature controller 62 and the second temperature controller 64 respectively, can control the electric heater 4 according to the feedback data of the first temperature controller 62 and the second temperature controller 64, flexibly adjust the heating power, realize accurate temperature control. While the temperature control switch 67 can be used for manual control of the on-off state of the electric heater 4, and the temperature control switch 67 is arranged on the heat exchange tank 1, which can directly sense the temperature change of the heat exchange tank 1. When the temperature abnormally rises, the temperature control switch 67 can quickly cut off the power supply of the electric heater 4, to prevent overheating damage to the equipment or cause safety accidents.
[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer wall of the heat exchange tank 1 is provided with a first port 11 and a second port 12, the first port 11 and the second port 12 are communicated with the cavity 10, the first pipeline 300 is communicated with the first port 11, and the second pipeline 301 is communicated with the second port 12.
[0068] Among them, it can be understood that by setting the first port 11 and the second port 12, the communication installation with the first pipeline 300 and the second pipeline 301 is facilitated, and great installation convenience is provided.
[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the outer wall of the heat exchange tank 1 is coated with a heat preservation component, wherein the heat preservation component can be at least one of rock wool or aluminum plate, which can effectively reduce heat loss, maintain the temperature stability inside the heat exchange tank 1, and improve the heat preservation effect of the heat exchange tank 1.
[0070] In summary, the gas heating device of the embodiment of the present application cooperates the work of solar heating and electric auxiliary heating through intelligent control, effectively solves the problems of high energy consumption and poor reliability of traditional single heating mode.
