[0002] In petrochemical industry, the pipeline for conveying or storing low-temperature medium, such as LNG, liquid nitrogen, propylene, ethylene, etc., usually needs to be supported by heat insulation cold insulation pipe support to avoid loss of cold energy and failure of the supporting structure due to low temperature. The cold insulation pipe shell of conventional low-temperature pipe support is generally made of polyurethane (PUF), polyisocyanurate (PIR) and foam glass (CG) and other materials. The thermal conductivity of polyurethane is generally 0.02-0.03 W / (m·K), and the thermal conductivity of other conventional cold insulation materials is similar or larger. As a result, a relatively thick heat insulation layer is required. For example, when the cold insulation temperature is -196℃, the thickness of the heat insulation layer for a DN900 pipeline is about 250mm, which requires a large installation space for the pipe support, posing a design problem. The temperature to be maintained is usually proposed by the design institute, and the thickness of the cold insulation layer and the loss of cold energy are calculated by the manufacturer, resulting in inconsistent thickness of the cold insulation layer among different manufacturers, which brings many problems to site construction and procurement.

When the pipeline is installed horizontally, the vacuum degree monitoring instrument faces an upward diagonal direction. The vacuum degree monitoring instrument can be a local instrument or a remote instrument to prevent the heat insulation performance from being reduced due to a decrease in vacuum degree.

[0014] 3) The vacuum heat insulation cavity is arranged in an upper-lower split type, the upper and lower cavity structures are the same and can be replaced with each other, and installation and maintenance are convenient;
[0015] 4) The vacuum cavity is provided with a vacuum degree monitoring instrument and a vacuumizing joint, vacuum degree monitoring can be performed, and when the vacuum degree is insufficient, the vacuum degree can be maintained by re-vacuumizing through the joint;
[0016] 5) Compared with the traditional cold-keeping material, the vacuum heat insulation cavity is a closed structure and will not cause performance degradation due to moisture absorption, and a moisture-proof layer can not be arranged, and the vacuum heat insulation cavity is more suitable for coastal and rainy areas.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The utility model is further described below in combination with the drawings.
[0020] The vacuum heat-insulating pipe support provided by the utility model mainly comprises an upper vacuum cavity 1, a lower vacuum cavity 2, a low-temperature high-elasticity sealing material 3, a heat-insulating rib plate 4, a low-temperature flexible material gasket 5, an upper pipe clamp 6, a lower pipe clamp 7, a bolt 8, a nut 9, a saddle 10 and a vacuum degree monitoring instrument 11. The upper vacuum cavity 1 and the lower vacuum cavity 2 constitute a heat-insulating layer, the upper and lower cavity structures are the same, and when horizontal pipelines are installed, the vacuum degree monitoring instrument 11 is directed in an obliquely upward direction. The gap when the upper vacuum cavity 1 and the lower vacuum cavity 2 are abutted and installed is sealed by the low-temperature high-elasticity sealing material 3, the gap problem caused by the different shrinkage amounts of the pipeline and the vacuum cavity at low temperature can be compensated, water vapor is prevented from entering the gap between the outer wall of the pipeline and the vacuum cavity, and cold loss is reduced. The heat-insulating rib plate 4 is arranged in the vacuum cavity and is used to improve the structural strength of the cavity, the number of the heat-insulating rib plate 4 is determined according to strength calculation, and the heat-insulating rib plate 4 should not affect the connectivity of the internal space of the cavity. When the number is relatively large, a labyrinth structure is generally adopted. The low-temperature flexible material gasket 5 is arranged between the upper vacuum cavity 1 and the lower vacuum cavity 2 and the pipeline to be supported, so as to eliminate the fitting problem caused by manufacturing errors. The upper pipe clamp 6, the lower pipe clamp 7, the bolt 8, the nut 9 and the saddle 10 are installed outside the vacuum cavity, the upper pipe clamp 6 and the lower pipe clamp 7 are clamped to the upper vacuum cavity 1 and the lower vacuum cavity 2 by adjusting the bolt 8 and the nut 9, and the lower pipe clamp 7 and the saddle 10 are connected by welding. The upper vacuum cavity 1 and the lower vacuum cavity 2 are respectively provided with a vacuum degree monitoring instrument 11 with a vacuumizing joint, which can be an on-site instrument or an online instrument with interlocking alarm. The higher the vacuum degree, the lower the heat conductivity coefficient, and the vacuum degree monitoring instrument 11 is used to monitor the vacuum degree and prevent the heat-insulating performance from being reduced due to the decrease of the vacuum degree. When the vacuum degree is insufficient, the vacuum degree monitoring instrument 11 is used to connect a vacuumizing device to improve the vacuum degree.
[0021] The traditional cold insulation pipe support is generally composed of a cold insulation pipe shell, a moisture-proof layer, an outer protective layer and an outer pipe clamp support, and the installation and construction process is relatively complex. Firstly, the lower cold insulation pipe shell is installed layer by layer, and the pipe shells of each layer are bonded together in staggered joints, and any small damage and error needs to be repaired. Secondly, low-temperature elastic glue is applied to the axial edge joints of each layer, and the inner layer and the outer layer of the upper cold insulation pipe shell are installed in turn. Then, the moisture-proof layer is constructed, the overlapping part of the moisture-proof layer is bonded with glue or adhesive tape, and the axial joint needs to be sealed with glass steel or composite aluminum foil. Finally, the outer protective layer and the outer pipe clamp support are installed. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, vacuum cavity butt joint installation on the outer wall of the pipeline, filling the butt joint gap with low-temperature high-elasticity sealing material, and installing the pipe clamp support outside.
