Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of odorant detection technology, and in particular to a graded gas odorant concentration detection simulation device. Background Technology
[0002] Odorants, as chemical substances used to add special odors to colorless and odorless gases (such as natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas), play a crucial role in the gas industry. Their main components are tetrahydrothiophene (THT), tributyl mercaptan (TBM), and ethanethiol (C2H5SH). They not only improve the detectability of gas leaks but also promptly alert people to safety precautions when gas leaks occur.
[0003] The recommended addition amount of odorant in natural gas is 20–50 mg / m³, with the lowest detectable concentration in case of gas leakage being 0.08 mg / m³. During pipeline transportation, the odorant concentration is affected by various factors, such as pipeline material, length, and pressure, all of which can cause changes in the tetrahydrothiophene added at the initial stage during transport. Furthermore, relying solely on the initial addition amount as a basis for judgment may lead to over-odorization, increasing costs and potentially causing adverse effects on the environment and human health.
[0004] Traditional detection equipment mostly measures the concentration of odorant in leaked gas at the end of the gas pipe. This method is limited and singular, unable to simulate the interference of the pipeline on the odorant under different conditions. Therefore, the obtained odorant concentration is inaccurate and cannot be used as a warning value for users. To solve the above problems, a graded gas odorant concentration detection simulation device is proposed. Utility Model Content
