[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example:

[0026] The accompanying drawings illustrate a specific embodiment of the valve assembly skid block for an ammonia-natural gas mixed combustion low-NOx burner according to this utility model. (Refer to the attached drawings.) Figure 1 It mainly includes a skid base 1, on which a natural gas skid 2 and an ammonia skid 3 are installed.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 The specific structure of the natural gas skid 2 is as follows: the natural gas skid 2 includes a natural gas transmission pipeline L1, one end of which is a natural gas source inlet A1, and the other end is a natural gas outer ring gas inlet B1 for the main unit.

[0028] The natural gas transmission pipeline L1, from the natural gas source inlet A1 to the main unit's natural gas outer ring inlet B1, is sequentially equipped with the following components: manual ball valve I201, filter I202, manual vent ball valve I203, low-pressure transmitter I204, pressure gauge I205, main gas valve butterfly valve A206, leak detection pressure transmitter I207, automatic vent valve I208, main gas valve butterfly valve B209, flame arrester I210, and metal expansion joint I211. The manual vent ball valve I203 has a manual vent outlet IDE1 at its top, and the automatic vent valve I208 has an automatic vent outlet IE1 at its top.

[0029] An ignition line L is connected to the natural gas transmission pipeline L1 between main gas valve butterfly valve A 206 and main gas valve butterfly valve B 209. 12 Ignition line L 12 It is equipped with an automatic ignition valve 213 and an ignition line L. 12 It has a main unit natural gas central gas inlet F1, and an automatic ignition valve 213 on the side of the ignition line L away from the main unit natural gas central gas inlet F1. 12 It is equipped with a manual ball valve 212 for the ignition line.

[0030] A purging line IL is also connected to the natural gas transmission pipeline L1 between filter I202 and main gas valve butterfly valve A206. 11 Purge pipeline IL 11 It is equipped with a one-way valve I214 and a purge line IL. 11 It has a nitrogen purge port ⅠC1 and a one-way valve Ⅰ214 on the side of the purge line ⅠL away from the nitrogen purge port ⅠC1. 11 It is equipped with a nitrogen manual ball valve I215.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 The specific structure of the ammonia gas distribution skid 3 is as follows: the ammonia gas distribution skid 3 includes an ammonia gas delivery pipeline L2, one end of which is the ammonia gas source inlet A2, and the other end is the main unit ammonia gas inlet B2.

[0032] The ammonia gas transmission pipeline L2, from the ammonia gas source inlet A2 to the main unit ammonia gas inlet B2, is sequentially equipped with a manual ball valve II301, a filter II302, a manual vent ball valve II303, a low-pressure transmitter II304, a pressure gauge II305, a main gas valve ball valve A 306, a leak detection pressure transmitter II307, an automatic vent valve II308, a main gas valve ball valve B 309, a flame arrester II310, and a metal expansion joint II311. The manual vent ball valve II303 has a manual vent outlet IID2 at its top, and the automatic vent valve II308 has an automatic vent outlet IIE2 at its top.

[0033] A purging line IIL is also connected to the ammonia delivery pipeline L2 between filter II302 and main gas valve ball valve A306. 21 Purge pipeline IIL 21 It is equipped with a one-way valve II312 and a purge line IIL. 21 The purge line IIL has a nitrogen purge port IIC2 and a one-way valve II312 on the side away from the nitrogen purge port IIC2. 21 It is equipped with a nitrogen manual ball valve II313.

[0034] In operation, the natural gas skid 2 is used as follows: natural gas is introduced from the natural gas source inlet A1, passes through the manual ball valve I201 and filter I202, and reaches the main gas valve butterfly valve A206. When the burner is not started, the main gas valve butterfly valve A206 is closed, the automatic vent valve I208 is open, and the main gas valve butterfly valve B209 is closed. Therefore, if there is a problem with the main gas valve butterfly valve A206, and there is a leak inside the main gas valve butterfly valve A206, but the main gas valve butterfly valve B209 is closed, then the leaked gas will flow out from the automatic vent valve I208 to the outdoor vent point, ensuring that there is no combustible gas inside the boiler equipment before combustion.

[0035] When the burner starts, the leak detection procedure is initiated, and the leak detection pressure transmitter I207 detects the leak. The procedure consists of two stages:

[0036] Phase 1 Test: Close the automatic vent valve I208. At this time, the main gas valve butterfly valve A206, automatic vent valve I208, and main gas valve butterfly valve B209 are all closed. Within 30 seconds, use the leak detection pressure transmitter I207 to detect whether the pressure in the pipeline between main gas valve butterfly valve A206 and main gas valve butterfly valve B209 increases. If there is a pressure response, it indicates that the main gas valve butterfly valve A206 is leaking, and the burner cannot start. If the main gas valve butterfly valve A206 is not leaking, proceed to Phase 2.

[0037] Second stage test: Open the main gas valve butterfly valve A 206 for 3 seconds, then close it, so that the pressure in the pipeline between main gas valve butterfly valve A 206 and main gas valve butterfly valve B 209 equals the natural gas source pressure. Then, use leak detection pressure transmitter I 207 to detect the pressure in the pipeline between main gas valve butterfly valve A 206 and main gas valve butterfly valve B 209. If the pressure cannot be maintained, it indicates that main gas valve butterfly valve B 209 or automatic vent valve I 208 is leaking, and the burner cannot start. If the pressure does not drop within 30 seconds, it indicates that there is no gas leak, and the second stage is passed. If both the first and second stages are passed, the burner startup procedure proceeds to the next stage.

[0038] After the leak test passes, ignition begins. The main gas valve butterfly valve A 206 and the automatic ignition valve 213 open, and gas flows through the ignition line L. 12 The gas is sent to the ignition nozzle and ignited by the ignition spark. After the controller controls the ignition time to expire, the main gas valve butterfly valve B 209 opens. After the main flame is formed, the automatic ignition valve 213 closes, and the flame burns under the ignition load.

[0039] When the burner is shut down, the valves operate as follows: main gas valve butterfly valve A 206 is closed, automatic vent valve I 208 is opened, and main gas valve butterfly valve B 209 is closed, cutting off the combustion flow to the boiler.

[0040] The function of the low-pressure transmitter I204 is to prevent the burner from operating when the gas pressure is lower than a specified range. The low-pressure transmitter I204 measures the natural gas pressure in the pipeline. When the pressure value is lower than the preset value, the burner stops burning, and the valve actions are as follows: the main gas valve butterfly valve A 206 is closed, the automatic vent valve I208 is opened, and the main gas valve butterfly valve B 209 is closed.

[0041] The specific use of the ammonia gas distribution skid 3 is as follows: ammonia gas is introduced from the ammonia gas source inlet A2, passes through the manual ball valve II 301 and the filter II 302, and reaches the main gas valve ball valve A 306. Similarly, when the burner is not started, the main gas valve ball valve A 306 is closed, the automatic vent valve II 308 is open, and the main gas valve ball valve B 309 is closed. Therefore, if there is a problem with the main gas valve ball valve A 306, and there is a leak inside the main gas valve ball valve A 306, but the main gas valve ball valve B 309 is closed, then the leaked gas will flow out from the automatic vent valve II 308 to the outdoor vent point, ensuring that there is no combustible gas inside the boiler equipment before combustion.

[0042] When the burner starts, the leak detection procedure is initiated. The leak detection pressure transmitter II307 detects the leak. The leak detection process of ammonia skid 3 is the same as the detection steps of natural gas skid 2. After both detection stages are passed, the next stage is entered.

[0043] After the natural gas is ignited, the main gas valve ball valve A 306 and the main gas valve ball valve B 309 open, and ammonia flows into the burner to burn together with the natural gas.

[0044] Of course, the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the main technical solution of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
