Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchange technology, and more specifically to a heat exchange structure for a miniaturized natural gas liquefaction deammoniation system. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas, as a clean energy source rich in renewable and low-carbon compounds, has received increasing attention. However, natural gas contains a large amount of acidic gases such as carbon dioxide, which not only reduces the quality of natural gas but may also cause pollution and harm to the environment. Therefore, it needs to be treated through ammonia removal processes. The basic principle of natural gas ammonia removal is to utilize the alkaline reaction properties of amine solutions to absorb acidic gases such as carbon dioxide, thereby separating them from the natural gas. The natural gas ammonia removal process includes absorption, heating, desorption, and regeneration. The basic process is as follows: First, natural gas is sent into an absorption tower to contact and absorb with a deamming agent, and then heated through a heat exchanger. Then, the deammed liquid containing acidic gases such as carbon dioxide is discharged and desorbed through a desorption tower. Finally, the deammed liquid, from which CO2 and other gases have been removed, is regenerated and returned to the absorption tower for use.
[0003] Insufficiency of existing technology: The heat exchange structure is an important component in natural gas deammoniation equipment. It heats natural gas by exchanging heat with hot water. However, during use, the temperature of natural gas rises, which increases the internal pressure of the heat exchange structure. Existing heat exchange structures lack pressure relief structures, which can easily cause equipment damage. Utility Model Content

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. This utility model increases the volume of natural gas by increasing the temperature, which increases the pressure when the natural gas is delivered to the right side of the shell.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The heat exchange structure of the miniaturized natural gas liquefaction deammoniation system involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a heat exchange structure for a miniaturized natural gas liquefaction and ammonia removal system, including a main body 1, a heat exchange mechanism 2, and a pressure relief mechanism 3. The inner side wall of the main body 1 is fixedly connected to the side of the heat exchange mechanism 2, and the bottom end of the pressure relief mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the top end of the main body 1. The main body 1 includes a shell 101, a natural gas connector 104 is fixedly connected to the side of the shell 101, a partition 102 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the shell 101, and the bottom end of the shell 101 is fixedly connected to the top end of the main body 1. A heating water pipe 103 is fixedly connected to the heat exchange mechanism 2, which includes a conveying pipe 203. The side of the conveying pipe 203 is fixedly connected to the side of the partition 102. The pressure relief mechanism 3 includes a mounting cylinder 301. The bottom end of the mounting cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the top end of the housing 101. A mounting block 302 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top end of the mounting cylinder 301. A pressure spring 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top end of the mounting block 302. A sealing plug 309 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressure spring 307. The bottom end of the mounting cylinder 301 corresponds to... An air inlet 303 is provided at the position of the sealing plug 309. An exhaust pipe 310 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting cylinder 301. The side of the sealing plug 309 and the side of the air inlet 303 engage with each other. It is connected to the natural gas pipeline through natural gas connectors 104 at both ends of the housing 101. It is connected to hot water through two heating water pipes 103. Natural gas is transported from the left side to the right side of the housing 101, and hot water is transported from the right side to the left side of the housing 101. After the natural gas enters the housing 101 through the left natural gas connector 104, it enters the delivery pipe 203, so that the heat conduction pipe 201 comes into contact with the hot water inside the housing 101 for heat exchange, thereby heating the natural gas. As the temperature increases, the volume of natural gas increases, and the pressure of natural gas increases when it is transported to the right side of the housing 101. This increases the pressure on the sealing plug 309, pushing the sealing plug 309 upward and separating the sealing plug 309 from the air inlet 303. The natural gas enters the collection tank through the conduit connected to the side of the exhaust pipe 310, avoiding damage caused by excessive internal pressure in the main body of the equipment.
[0022] The mounting block 302 has a protective sleeve 311 movably connected to its inner side wall. The bottom end of the protective sleeve 311 is fixedly connected to the top end of the sealing plug 309. When the pressure spring 307 extends or retracts, the protective sleeve 311 slides along the inner side wall of the mounting block 302 to prevent natural gas from contacting the pressure spring 307 and causing damage.
[0023] The sealing plug 309 is fixedly connected to a pressure block 308 at its top. The mounting block 302 has a mounting hole 304 on its top inner wall. A buffer spring 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting hole 304. A touch switch 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buffer spring 305. The diameter of the pressure block 308 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 304. When the internal pressure of the housing 101 is too high, the pressure block 308 contacts the touch switch 306, causing the touch switch 306 to send a signal to the control terminal to remind the operator to handle the situation in time.
[0024] The top of the housing 101 is fixedly connected to a temperature detection device 106, the side of the natural gas connector 104 is fixedly connected to a first electromagnetic control valve 105, and the side of the heating water connector 103 is fixedly connected to a second electromagnetic control valve 107. Both ends of the housing 101 are equipped with temperature detection devices 106. During use, the temperature monitoring device 106 detects the temperature change after the natural gas is heated in real time, and controls the efficiency of heat exchange between natural gas and hot water through the first electromagnetic control valve 105 and the second electromagnetic control valve 107.
[0025] Among them, the inner wall of the side of the shell 101 is fixedly connected with a guide plate 202. The guide plates 202 are staggered and have a semi-circular structure, so that the hot water entering the shell 101 is divided into spaces along the guide plate 202 and flows, avoiding the hot water flowing in a straight line inside the shell 101, prolonging the contact time between the hot water and the delivery pipe 203, and improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0026] The heat pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the side of the conveying pipe 203. The heat pipe 201 has a through hole on its side. The side of the heat pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the side of the guide plate 202. The through hole on the side of the heat pipe 201 increases the contact area with the hot water inside the shell 101 and improves the heat exchange efficiency.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The natural gas is connected to a natural gas pipeline via natural gas connectors 104 at both ends of the housing 101, and connected to hot water via two heating water pipes 103. Natural gas is supplied from the left side to the right side of the housing 101. After entering the housing 101 through the left natural gas connector 104, the natural gas enters the delivery pipe 203. Hot water is supplied from the right side to the left side of the housing 101, flowing along a space divided by the guide plate 202 to prevent straight flow within the housing 101. This prolongs the contact time between the hot water and the delivery pipe 203, allowing heat exchange between the heat pipe 201 and the hot water inside the housing 101. Temperature detection devices 106 are provided at both ends of the housing 101, and the temperature is monitored in real time during use. The system detects temperature changes after natural gas is heated and controls the efficiency of heat exchange between natural gas and hot water through the first electromagnetic control valve 105 and the second electromagnetic control valve 107, thereby achieving the heating of natural gas. As the temperature increases, the volume of natural gas increases, causing the pressure to increase when natural gas is delivered to the right side of the shell 101. This increases the pressure on the sealing plug 309, pushing the sealing plug 309 upward and separating it from the air inlet 303. Natural gas then enters the collection tank through the side connecting pipe of the exhaust pipe 310, preventing damage caused by excessive internal pressure in the main body 1. When the internal pressure of the shell 101 is too high, the pressure block 308 contacts the touch switch 306, causing the touch switch 306 to send a signal to the control terminal, reminding the operator to handle the situation promptly.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
