Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of exhaust technology, specifically relating to an exhaust recovery device for a liquid gas storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] Venting liquid gas storage tanks is a crucial process involving both safety and efficiency. Here's a detailed explanation: Liquid gas in a sealed storage tank evaporates and turns into a gaseous state, increasing the pressure inside the tank. To avoid safety risks that may arise from excessive pressure, storage tanks are typically designed with a venting system. When the pressure inside the tank exceeds a set value, the venting system automatically activates, releasing some gas to maintain the pressure within a safe range.
[0003] When gas is discharged from a liquefied gas storage tank, the high gas pressure directly impacts the pipeline system. This high-pressure impact not only causes pipeline vibration but can also lead to equipment swaying, and in severe cases, even pipeline rupture or equipment damage. Especially when the exhaust valve is suddenly opened, the instantaneous release of high-pressure gas creates a powerful shock wave, posing a significant threat to pipelines and equipment. During the vaporization process of high-pressure liquefied gas, the temperature rises because gas molecules release latent heat as the pressure decreases. Longer recovery pipelines, due to heat conduction and friction, further exacerbate this temperature increase. When the gas temperature rises to a certain level, the difficulty of liquefaction and recovery increases significantly because more energy is required to lower the gas temperature and reliquefy it. This not only increases energy costs but may also affect the efficiency and quality of liquefaction and recovery. Due to the high temperature and pressure generated during the exhaust process, the exhaust gas requires higher energy consumption for reliquefaction and recovery. On the one hand, the high-temperature gas needs to be cooled to a sufficiently low temperature before liquefaction, which requires a large amount of cooling energy. On the other hand, the high-pressure gas needs to be compressed to a lower pressure during the liquefaction process, which also requires additional energy. Therefore, the energy cost of liquefaction and recovery increases significantly with the increase of exhaust temperature and pressure. Utility Model Content
