Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultra-high pressure vessel technology, specifically to a safety pressure relief device for vertical ultra-high pressure vessels. Background Technology

[0002] Vertical ultra-high pressure vessels refer to containers with a working pressure greater than or equal to 100 MPa, whose internal space is typically vertical. These vessels can operate under extreme pressure conditions, requiring extremely high standards for materials and manufacturing processes. They can withstand extremely high pressures to meet the needs of various ultra-high pressure processes. They are generally manufactured using high-strength, high-toughness materials such as stainless steel, gun steel, and duplex stainless steel. These materials possess excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance to ensure the safety and stability of the vessel under high pressure. The vertical design results in a larger footprint in the vertical direction, but a relatively smaller footprint at the base, facilitating installation and layout within limited spaces.

[0003] Vertical ultra-high pressure vessels are typically equipped with safety accessories such as safety valves, rupture discs, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors to monitor and control the pressure and temperature inside the vessel. When the pressure or temperature exceeds the set value, the safety valve or rupture disc will automatically release pressure to ensure the safety of the vessel.

[0004] However, traditional pressure relief devices have simple structures, and some of them generate significant impacts during the pressure relief process, which can adversely affect surrounding equipment. Therefore, this application proposes a safety pressure relief device for vertical ultra-high pressure vessels. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a safety pressure relief device for vertical ultra-high pressure vessels. It has the advantages of setting a buffer device at the outlet of the pressure relief device to reduce the impact force generated during pressure relief. It solves the problem that traditional pressure relief devices have simple structures, and some pressure relief devices generate large impacts during the pressure relief process, which have adverse effects on surrounding equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a safety pressure relief device for a vertical ultra-high pressure vessel, comprising an ultra-high pressure vessel, a pressure relief valve body fixedly installed on the top of the ultra-high pressure vessel, a pressure relief pipe fixedly installed at the output end of the pressure relief valve body, a primary expansion pipe fixedly installed at one end of the pressure relief pipe, a secondary expansion pipe fixedly installed at one end of the primary expansion pipe, a primary buffer component rotatably installed inside the primary expansion pipe, and a secondary buffer component rotatably installed inside the secondary expansion pipe;

[0007] The primary and secondary buffer components have the same structure but different sizes. The secondary buffer component includes a cross circular plate with a rotating shaft fixedly installed at the top and bottom. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the secondary expansion tube. A flow hole is provided on the side of the cross circular plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a hydraulic drive rod is fixedly installed on the top of the pressure relief valve body, and the movable end of the hydraulic drive rod extends into the interior of the pressure relief valve body.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the movable end of the hydraulic drive rod, and a valve ball is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod, the valve ball being adapted to the bottom of the pressure relief valve body.

[0010] Furthermore, an upper pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the ultra-high pressure vessel, a side pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the ultra-high pressure vessel, and a bottom pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the ultra-high pressure vessel.

[0011] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the ultra-high pressure vessel, and the controller is electrically connected to the hydraulic drive rod, the upper pressure sensor, the side pressure sensor, and the bottom pressure sensor.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure relief pipe, the primary expansion pipe, and the secondary expansion pipe are fixedly fitted with heat-insulating and sound-insulating jackets, and cooling pipes are wound around the surfaces of the pressure relief pipe, the primary expansion pipe, and the secondary expansion pipes. The input and output ends of the cooling pipes are connected to an external refrigeration device.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting flange is fixedly installed at one end of the secondary expansion tube, a feed pipe is fixedly installed at the top of the ultra-high pressure vessel, and a discharge pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the ultra-high pressure vessel.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the ultra-high pressure vessel is fixedly equipped with support legs, and the bottom end of the support legs is fixedly equipped with a base plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a safety pressure relief device for vertical ultra-high pressure vessels, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This safety pressure relief device for vertical ultra-high pressure vessels uses a primary expansion pipe at one end of the pressure relief pipe and a secondary expansion pipe at the other end. By increasing the inner diameter of the pipe, the fluid gradually slows down during the pressure relief process. The primary and secondary buffers further decelerate the fluid, thereby reducing the impact generated during pressure relief. This solves the problem that traditional pressure relief devices have simple structures, and some devices generate large impacts during pressure relief, which can adversely affect surrounding equipment.
