Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of natural gas storage tank technology, specifically relating to an ANG adsorption environmental protection storage tank with a double-layer metal structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continued rise in global energy demand, especially the increasing emphasis on clean energy, adsorbed natural gas (ANG) has attracted widespread attention as a highly promising natural gas storage method. ANG technology can achieve efficient storage of natural gas at relatively low pressures, offering advantages over traditional compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) such as lower storage pressure, higher safety, and relatively lower cost.

[0003] Document CN201621085108.6 proposes an ANG adsorption storage tank with a double-layer metal structure, including a tank body with a double-layer metal structure, a natural gas outlet pipe located on the tank body, a vent and safety valve located at the top of the tank body, and a natural gas inlet and drain outlet located at the bottom of the tank body. This design effectively mitigates the effects of thermal effects and increases the effective gas storage capacity. Firstly, a composite phase change thermal storage material is embedded between the two metal layers of the tank body. During adsorption, this material effectively stores the heat of adsorption, and during desorption, it releases some of the heat, thus reducing the temperature difference to a certain extent. This effect is far greater than the thermal effect mitigated by convection between the tank body and the air. Secondly, an irregularly shaped, flat, finned spiral coil is designed, which not only effectively increases the heat transfer area but also increases the turbulence of condensate in the coil, thereby improving the heat transfer rate.

[0004] The storage tanks proposed in the aforementioned document have certain limitations. Although an adsorption function is proposed, it only performs adsorption operations through multiple layers of perforated plates, which cannot completely cover most of the internal area of ​​the tank. The adsorption effect is poor and still cannot meet the requirements for the purity and quality of natural gas. Utility Model Content

[0026] Embodiment

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 For the embodiment of the utility model, the embodiment provides a double-layer metal structure ANG adsorption environmental protection tank, comprising,

[0028] The tank assembly 100 comprises a tank body 101, a base 102 fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body 101, a liquid inlet pipe 103 fixedly connected to the side wall of the end portion of the tank body 101, a liquid outlet pipe 104 fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 101, and an isolation layer 105 encapsulated in the inner wall of the tank body 101;

[0029] The adsorption assembly 200 comprises a sleeve 201 sealingly installed in the middle of the top of the tank body 101, a guide pipe 202 inserted in the middle of the sleeve 201, an adapter pipe 203 installed at the lower end of the guide pipe 202, and an adsorption pipe 204 sealingly communicated at the lower end of the adapter pipe 203, the adsorption pipe 204 being staggered arranged inside the tank body 101, and the end of the sleeve 201 being sealingly arranged on the side wall of the isolation layer 105.

[0030] The tank body 101 serves as a core storage component, the isolation layer 105 is encapsulated on the inner wall of the tank body 101 and plays a role of isolation and protection, preventing the stored substances in the tank body from directly contacting the tank body, avoiding corrosion or other damage to the tank body, and also helping to maintain the purity of the substances. The tank body is composed of a double-layer metal structure, providing certain strength and protection performance, which can effectively protect the stored substances inside. The base 102 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tank body 101 and plays a role of supporting the tank body, ensuring the stability of the tank body when placed, preventing it from tilting or shaking. The liquid inlet pipe 103 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the end of the tank body 101 and is a channel for liquid substances to enter the tank body. Through this pipe, the liquid to be stored can be introduced into the tank body. The liquid outlet pipe 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 101 and is used to discharge the liquid stored in the tank body, facilitating the replacement or emptying operation of the liquid. The sleeve 201 is sealingly installed in the middle of the top of the tank body 101 and the end is sealingly arranged on the side wall of the isolation layer 105. The sleeve 201 provides an installation channel for the guide pipe 202 and ensures the sealing of the tank body, preventing leakage of substances. The guide pipe 202 is inserted in the middle of the sleeve 201 and is a channel for substances to enter the adsorption pipe 204. Through the guide pipe 202, the substances to be adsorbed can be introduced into the adsorption pipe 204. The adapter pipe 203 is installed at the lower end of the guide pipe 202 and plays a role of connecting the guide pipe 202 and the adsorption pipe 204, enabling the substances to flow smoothly from the guide pipe 202 into the adsorption pipe 204. The adsorption pipe 204 is sealingly communicated at the lower end of the adapter pipe 203 and is staggered arranged inside the tank body 101. The adsorption pipe 204 is filled with adsorption material. When the substances pass through the adsorption pipe, the impurities or specific components in the substances will be adsorbed by the adsorption material, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the substances.

[0031] Specifically, the storage tank assembly 100 further comprises a support 106 welded on the inner wall of the tank body 101, and the end of the support 106 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the isolation layer 105.

[0032] The support 106 is welded on the inner wall of the tank body 101 and the end is fixedly connected to the outer side of the isolation layer 105. The role of the support 106 is to enhance the stability of the isolation layer 105, ensuring that the isolation layer does not displace or deform during long-term use, and ensuring its isolation effect.

[0033] Further, the storage tank assembly 100 further comprises an inspection pipe 107 installed on the side wall of the bottom of the tank body 101, and the end of the inspection pipe 107 extends below the adsorption pipe 204.

[0034] The maintenance pipe 107 is installed on the side wall of the bottom of the tank body 101, and the end extends below the adsorption pipe 204. The maintenance pipe 107 provides a channel for the maintenance and repair of the inside of the tank body, and the worker can check and repair the components such as the adsorption pipe inside the tank body through the pipe.

[0035] Further, the storage tank assembly 100 further comprises a flushing pipe 108 encapsulated in the middle position of the bottom of the tank body 101, and the maintenance pipe 107 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flushing pipe 108.

[0036] The flushing pipe 108 is encapsulated in the middle position of the bottom of the tank body 101, and the maintenance pipe 107 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flushing pipe 108. The flushing pipe 108 is used to inject flushing liquid into the tank body, clean the inside of the tank body, keep the inside of the tank body clean, and improve the quality of the stored material.

[0037] Preferably, the adsorption assembly 200 further comprises a cover plate 205 installed on the top of the tank body 101, and the end of the sleeve pipe 201 is connected to the side wall of the cover plate 205.

[0038] The cover plate 205 is installed on the top of the tank body 101, and the end of the sleeve pipe 201 is connected to the side wall of the cover plate 205. The cover plate 205 plays a protective and sealing role, prevents foreign matter from entering the inside of the tank body, and also provides installation space for heat-conducting devices or sensors and other components.

[0039] It should be noted that the adsorption assembly 200 further comprises a fin 206 fixedly connected to the end of the conduit 202, the fin 206 is inserted into the inside of the cover plate 205, and the side wall of the fin 206 does not contact the inner wall of the cover plate 205.

[0040] The fin 206 is fixedly connected to the end of the conduit 202, inserted into the inside of the cover plate 205, and the side wall of the fin 206 does not contact the inner wall of the cover plate 205. The fin 206 can increase the heat dissipation area, which helps to reduce the temperature of the material in the conduit 202 and improve the adsorption effect.

[0041] Preferably, the adsorption assembly 200 further comprises a fan 207 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cover plate 205, and the air outlet of the fan 207 is located at the side wall of the fin 206.

[0042] When the fan 207 is working, it blows air to the fin 206 to accelerate the heat dissipation process of the fin 206 and further improve the cooling effect. According to the needs, heating components can be added to blow hot air to the fin 206 to operate the storage tank in severe cold weather.

[0043] In use, the liquid to be stored enters the interior of the tank body 101 through the liquid inlet pipe 103. The double-layer metal structure of the tank body 101 and the isolation layer 105 provide a safe and stable storage environment for the liquid, preventing leakage and external contamination.

[0044] Substance adsorption: When the substance in the tank needs to be adsorbed, the substance enters the adapter pipe 203 through the conduit 202 and then flows into the adsorption pipe 204. The adsorption material in the adsorption pipe 204 adsorbs impurities or specific components in the substance, achieving purification of the substance. During the adsorption process, the fan 207 blows air to the fins 206, accelerating heat dissipation of the fins 206, reducing the temperature of the substance in the conduit 202, and improving the adsorption effect. Periodically, flushing liquid is injected into the tank body 101 through the flushing pipe 108 to clean the interior of the tank body. At the same time, workers can inspect and maintain the components such as the adsorption pipe 204 inside the tank body through the maintenance pipe 107, ensuring normal operation of the tank.

[0045] In summary, the double-layer metal structure of the tank body 101 and the isolation layer 105 provide a reliable storage environment for the substance, effectively preventing liquid leakage and external contamination, and ensuring the quality of the stored substance. The staggered arrangement of the adsorption pipes 204 increases the contact area between the substance and the adsorption material, improving the adsorption efficiency. At the same time, the cooperation of the fan 207 and the fins 206 reduces the temperature of the substance, further enhancing the adsorption effect, and effectively removing impurities and specific components in the substance.
