Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coal liquefaction, especially relates to a hot high-pressure separator and coal direct liquefaction system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The hot high-pressure separator is a gas-liquid separation device operated under high-temperature high-pressure hydrogen-containing conditions. Its main function is to separate gas and liquid under high-temperature high-pressure environment, and the separated gas enters the cold high-pressure separator after heat exchange, realizing three-phase separation of oil, gas and water.
[0003] In the coal direct liquefaction process, the product after coal direct liquefaction reaction enters the hot high-pressure separator, and the gas phase enters the warm high-pressure separator and the cold high-pressure separator after step-by-step cooling. Therefore, the hot high-pressure separator plays a very important role in the coal direct liquefaction process. The detection and control of the liquid level of the hot high-pressure separator are extremely critical for coal direct liquefaction. If the liquid level is too high, it will increase the risk of coking of the hot high-pressure separator, and if the liquid level is too low, it will cause high-pressure gas to enter the low-pressure system, posing a great threat to the device.
[0004] The existing liquid level detection of the hot high-pressure separator applied to the direct liquefaction device mainly uses the "blowback hydrogen" blow-type level gauge. The blow-type level gauge is mostly used for liquid level measurement of solid-containing, dirty and corrosive media. The purpose of blowback hydrogen is essentially to prevent material backflow, blockage of pressure lead pipe or corrosion of transmitter diaphragm. The measurement principle of the blow-type level gauge is based on differential pressure measurement of liquid level, but the pressure taking method is different from that of the conventional differential pressure level gauge. Generally, two pressure lead pipes are inserted from the top of the container, the pressure lead pipe connected to the positive pressure of the instrument is inserted deeper, and the pressure lead pipe connected to the negative pressure of the instrument is inserted shallower. The key to accurate measurement of the blowback hydrogen level gauge is to adjust the flow of hydrogen on the positive and negative pressure sides. However, the blowback hydrogen pipeline is equipped with multiple valves, hydrogen flow meters, check valves and other accessories. If these accessories fail, it will affect the stability of the hydrogen flow, thereby affecting the accuracy of the measurement. Even when the blowback hydrogen supply is interrupted for a long time or the flow fluctuates greatly for a long time, it will cause material backflow to block the pressure lead pipe, resulting in failure of liquid level measurement, and ultimately leading to failure of the liquid level automatic control system. Therefore, the existing liquid level detection of the hot high-pressure separator uses the blow-type level gauge, which is prone to failure during the running period and cannot be repaired automatically, causing the single-loop closed control system to fail, and resulting in operation with disease or forced shutdown for maintenance due to failure of the liquid level control system.
