Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline leak detection technology, and in particular to a gas collection device for water network areas. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, natural gas has become an important energy source in daily life and production, especially for urban residents, where it has become a necessity. The long-distance natural gas pipeline system traverses diverse and complex regions, with the vast majority of pipelines buried underground, posing significant challenges to leak detection. Furthermore, the unique biogeographical environment of water-rich areas presents even greater challenges to gas collection and analysis. To promptly and effectively determine whether leaked gas is pipeline-transmitted natural gas and ensure the normal operation of natural gas transmission pipelines, a common method is the drainage method. This involves placing a water-filled bottle over the gas, draining the water, and then tightening the cap underwater to collect the gas. However, this process is entirely manual, making it easy for air to enter the bottle, affecting chromatographic analysis results and hindering emergency repairs. Existing technical solutions connect a collector, a vacuum pump, a manual pump, and a storage container. By coordinating the pumps and the manual pump, the air content in the collected gas is reduced through drainage. However, existing collectors are numerous and difficult to transport to the field, and the lack of pre-analysis of the collected gas composition affects analytical efficiency and impacts emergency repair progress.

This facilitates immersing the gas collection hood or placing it above the water body at the sampling point using the sampling handle with a telescopic function.

[0043] In the drainage method mode, the free end of the pipes of the detector 3 and the telescopic sampling handle 6 is connected to the top of the gas collection hood, which contains water.

[0056] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the analyzer is used for analysis.

[0057] The analyzer 14 can monitor the pressure of the sampling cylinder. When the pressure of the cylinder reaches the set pressure (0.1-0.3 MPa), the instrument (sampling device) stops sampling. The analyzer 14 can be a portable analytical instrument, and the model can be GC-FID.

[0058] The booster pump 10, flow control module 11, first solenoid valve 12, second solenoid valve 13, analyzer 14, and pressure monitoring module 15 can all be connected to the controller. The control method of the controller is existing technology, and those skilled in the art can easily conceive of how to program the controller according to actual needs, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0059] The gas collection device for water-rich areas provided in this embodiment mainly consists of three parts: a pretreatment device, a gas bag sampling device, and a gas cylinder sampling device. The gas bag sampling device and the gas cylinder sampling device can be connected to the pretreatment device simultaneously or selectively.

[0060] 1. The device includes a gas collection hood, a one-way valve, a telescopic sampling handle, a particulate matter filter (filter), and a condensate removal device.

[0061] 2. There are two methods for collecting gases in water-rich areas: ① Discharge method: The collector is submerged in water and moved to the bubbling area of ​​the water-rich area to collect the underwater gas. ② Air displacement method: Since the main component of combustible gas is methane, with a molecular weight of 16, the downward air displacement method is used to collect the underwater gas. When using the air displacement method, the combustible gas detector (detector) line needs to be turned on to make a preliminary judgment on the gas collected in the gas collection hood. If the methane concentration in the combustible gas detector (detector) remains unchanged, it is considered that the air in the gas collection bottle (gas collection hood) has been completely purged.

[0062] ① Drainage method

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the drainage method for gas collection consists of five parts: a gas collection hood to collect the gas; a filter and collection device to filter the collected gas; a retractable support (telescopic sampling handle) to adjust the distance; a one-way valve that automatically opens when the gas level inside the collection hood is too high and automatically closes when the pressure inside the collection hood is too low, preventing the collection of external gas and maintaining the stability of the collection hood; and a gas collection pipe connected to a combustible gas detector.

[0064] The sampling method involves placing the pipes of both the detector 3 and the telescopic sampling handle 6 on top of the gas collection hood. Specifically, the free ends of the pipes of the detector 3 and the telescopic sampling handle 6 are connected to the top of the gas collection hood. The gas collection hood is then filled with water, and the telescopic support (telescopic sampling handle 6) is used to move it to the point where bubbles emerge. First, the combustible gas detector (detector) is used to check if the gas is combustible. If it is, the telescopic sampling handle is then opened to collect the gas.

[0065] ② Air removal method

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the exhaust gas collection system consists of five parts: a gas collection hood for collecting gas; a filter and collection device for filtering the collected gas; a retractable support (telescopic sampling handle) for adjusting different distances; a one-way valve that automatically opens when the gas level inside the hood is too high and automatically closes when the pressure inside the hood is too low, preventing the collection of external gas and maintaining the stability of the hood; and a gas collection pipe connected to a combustible gas detector.

[0067] The sampling method involves placing the pipes of both the detector 3 and the telescopic sampling handle 6 at the bottom of the gas collection hood, specifically connecting the free ends of the pipes of the detector 3 and the telescopic sampling handle 6 to the bottom of the gas collection hood. Then, the telescopic support (telescopic sampling handle) is moved to the point where the bubbles emerge. First, the combustible gas detector (detector) is used to check if the gas is combustible. If it is, the detector is used continuously until the concentration of the combustible gas stops increasing. Then, the telescopic sampling handle is opened to collect the gas.

[0068] The general procedure involves immersing or placing the gas collection hood above the water body at the sampling point using a telescopic sampling handle (telescopic sampling handle). Different sizes (large, medium, small, etc.) of the gas collection hood can be selected according to site conditions. The hood has a one-way valve to discharge excess gas. It automatically closes when the pressure inside the hood is too low to prevent the collection of external gas. The sample gas exiting the outlet first passes through a filter, and then through a condensation and dehydration device for pretreatment. This condensation and dehydration process, compared to other filter drying materials, reduces adsorption and removes moisture.

[0069] Sampling devices on-site can be divided into two types: gas bag sampling and gas cylinder sampling. Select the appropriate sampling device according to your needs.

[0070] Gas bag sampling: The ZR-3521 vacuum chamber gas bag sampler (explosion-proof model) can be used. It can hold gas bags with a capacity of (1-4)L and features explosion-proof design, automatic cleaning of pipelines and gas bags, automatic end of sampling, and easy portability. Simply connect the vacuum chamber gas bag sampler to the air outlet of the pretreatment device to complete the gas bag sampling.

[0071] Gas cylinder sampling: The gas cylinder sampling device pressurizes the pre-treated gas and injects it into the gas cylinder (sampling cylinder) through a booster pump. Before injecting the gas into the cylinder, the instrument can switch the pipeline through a solenoid valve to clean the pipeline first. After cleaning, it automatically switches to pressurizing the gas cylinder. When the pressure monitoring detects that the gas cylinder pressure reaches the set pressure (0.1-0.3MPa), the instrument stops sampling.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
