First, the cooling water in the water storage tank 401 is pumped into the U-shaped heat exchange pipe 405 in the cooling chamber 402 through the first water pressure pump 403, and then the cooling water in the pipe is subjected to refrigeration treatment by the low-temperature gas generated by the refrigeration machine 404. The cooled cooling water enters the refrigeration cavity 2023 through the flow-through pipe arranged between the equipment box 3 and the gas storage tank body 202. When a large amount of cooling water enters the refrigeration cavity 2023, the gas storage tank body 202 is effectively cooled. This cooling method can effectively prevent the pressure in the inner tank from rising due to heating of the natural gas. The inner bottom wall of the water storage tank 401 is fixedly installed with a backwater pipe 406 extending into the inside of the gas storage well assembly 2. One end of the backwater pipe 406 extending into the inside of the gas storage well assembly 2 is fixedly connected with a second water pressure pump 407. The bottom of the second water pressure pump 407 is fixedly connected with the top of the lower head 203, and the bottom end of the second water pressure pump 407 is fixedly connected with the bottom inner wall of the refrigeration cavity 2023 through a pipeline.

This design effectively saves water resources, reduces environmental pollution and reduces operating costs, and has high practicability.
[0022] In the case implementation, the gas storage well assembly 2 is composed of a casing 201, a gas storage tank body 202, a head 203 and well cementing reinforced concrete 204, wherein the inside of the casing 201 is fixedly connected with the gas storage tank body 202, the casing 201 and the gas storage tank body 202 belong to the main part of the gas storage well, mainly used for fixing and storing natural gas, the upper and lower ends of the casing 201 are fixedly connected with the head 203, and the head 203 is located at the upper and lower ends of the casing 201, which can effectively fix and support.

A plurality of connecting frames 2024 are fixedly installed in the refrigeration cavity 2023. The connecting frames 2024 can effectively maintain the stability of the gas tank body 202. The connecting frames 2024 are provided with through holes, which facilitate the filling of the entire refrigeration cavity 2023 with cooling water, thereby achieving better cooling effect.
[0024] In the case implementation, the left side of the water storage tank 401 is fixedly installed with a water inlet 408 extending to the outside of the equipment box 3. This can facilitate the replenishment of cooling water in the water storage tank 401 at any time, avoiding the depletion of cooling water due to consumption.
[0025] In the implementation, the following steps are performed:
[0026] 1) First, the cooling water in the water storage tank 401 is pumped into the U-shaped heat exchange pipe 405 in the cooling chamber 402 by the first water pressure pump 403;
[0027] 2) Then, the cooling water in the pipe is cooled by the low-temperature gas generated by the refrigeration machine 404;
[0028] 3) Then, the cooling water enters the refrigeration cavity 2023 through the flow pipe arranged between the equipment box 3 and the gas tank body 202. This cooling method can effectively prevent the natural gas in the inner tank from being heated and causing the pressure in the tank to rise;
[0029] 4) Finally, the cooling water in the refrigeration cavity 2023 that has lost its cooling effect can be returned to the water storage tank 401 through the return pipe 406 and the second water pressure pump 407, thereby achieving the effect of recycling.
[0030] In summary, the buried compressed natural gas storage well, by setting the circulating cooling mechanism 4, first through the first water pump 403 in the water storage tank 401 in the cooling chamber 402 into the U-shaped heat pipe 405, and then through the refrigeration machine 404 generated by the low temperature gas cooling water in the pipe for refrigeration treatment, the cooling down of the cooling water will be through the equipment box 3 and the gas storage tank body 202 between the flow pipe and enter the refrigeration cavity 2023, when a large amount of cooling water enters the refrigeration cavity 2023, the gas storage tank body 202 will be effectively cooled, the cooling method can effectively avoid the natural gas in the inner tank due to heat and cause the pressure in the tank to rise, finally through the setting of the backwater pipe 406 and the second water pump 407, the cooling water in the refrigeration cavity 2023 which has lost the cooling effect can be returned to the water storage tank 401, thereby completing the effect of recycling, the design effectively saves water resources, reduces environmental pollution and reduces operating costs, and has high practicability, solves the problem that the patent and the traditional natural gas storage well cannot cool the internal gas storage tank, if the internal and external temperature of the gas storage tank is large, the natural gas stored in the internal gas storage tank will be converted, and the converted form is easy to make the pressure in the natural gas storage tank rise, thereby generating a safety hazard.
