DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The utility model will be further explained in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0026] The embodiments are merely illustrative of the utility model, and are not intended to limit the utility model, and those skilled in the art can make modifications to the embodiments without creative contribution after reading the specification, but as long as the modifications are within the scope of the claims of the utility model, they are protected by the patent law.
[0027] Embodiment:
[0028] As Figure 2 The control valve assembly comprises pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve A11 and pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve B12, both of which have the same parameters and are arranged in parallel, the front ends of both are connected to the ethylene amine feed pipeline 21, and the rear ends are connected to the discharge pipeline 22; in normal production, one of the regulating angle valves is selected at random, and when maintenance is required, the regulating angle valve can be switched to the other one. Since the process medium at the outlet of the flash tank 41 comprises liquid ammonia, hydrogen, ethanol amine and ethylene amine, and the typical feature is gas-liquid mixed phase, the regulating valve at this position is in a flash and cavitation state for a long time, the failure rate of the regulating valve is relatively high, and it is difficult to control, which often causes shutdown. Therefore, the application uses a pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve suitable for this working condition, and the flash tank 41, auxiliary equipment and facilities and pipeline arrangement are saved. The valve is of A-B redundant control type, and the control means is improved and the risk of shutdown is reduced by changing the single-loop control of the liquid level before optimization to reactor feed selection control. The pressure before the valve is above 22 MPa, and the pressure after the valve is reduced to below 2 MPa. The pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve A11 and the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve B12 are each connected in series with two process valves 31 before and after the valves. A blowdown pipe 32 is arranged before the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve A11 and the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve B12, respectively, and the blowdown pipe 32 is connected to a sewage pool 33. Two blowdown valves 34 are arranged on each blowdown pipe 32.
[0029] The pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve A11 and the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve B12 are simultaneously electrically connected with a controller 13, and the controller 13 is used for remotely switching the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve A11 and the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve B12. Remote control of the opening and closing of the valve by the controller 13 belongs to the prior art, and will not be described here.
[0030] The actuator of the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve A11 and the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve B12 is a start-up diaphragm type or a piston type, is of an accident holding type, and is provided with an instrument air storage tank. A guard valve is arranged in the cylinder gas path part of the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve A11 and the pneumatic high-pressure regulating angle valve B12.
[0031] As Figure 3 And Figure 4As shown, the valve inner part sealing form of pneumatic high pressure regulating angle valve A11 and pneumatic high pressure regulating angle valve B12 is cascade multistage sealing, with four sealing points. The valve body material is not less than 316L, the valve inner part material is at least 316L+STL, the valve cover material is at least 316L+STL, the valve body connection mode is flange connection or welding, the valve body pressure resistance grade value is 2500#, the valve body and valve inner part temperature resistance is above 220 DEG C. The valve cover has heat dissipation function, and the packing seal uses flexible graphite. The leakage level of the valve is not less than ANSI V. Because the working conditions of pneumatic high pressure regulating angle valve A11 and pneumatic high pressure regulating angle valve B12 belong to typical flash evaporation with cavitation characteristics harsh working conditions, and the process material has strong corrosion and permeability, therefore the above valve body material is the minimum requirement for this working condition.
[0032] The functions and characteristics of the actuators of pneumatic high pressure regulating angle valve A11 and pneumatic high pressure regulating angle valve B12 are as follows:
[0033] The cylinder is single-acting form, can be kept in case of accident, so the cylinder gas path part must be configured with a security valve, fault position off. The cylinder is configured with a digital intelligent valve positioner, with feedback function, with HART protocol. The cylinder spring is corrosion resistant. The top of the cylinder must be configured with a rain cap, the rain cap is made of stainless steel metal material or metal square bar treatment, with mushroom-shaped built-in exhaust hole. No matter how the valve is installed, all the exhaust nozzles of the cylinder are always arranged downward. The cylinder must be configured with an air filter pressure regulating valve. The air tank at least meets the pneumatic valve 5 times full stroke adjusting action, its accessories at least include a stainless steel on-site pressure gauge (including a stainless steel root valve), a safety valve (including a stainless steel root diameter valve), an inlet end and an outlet end process valve 31, a bottom blowdown valve 34.
