Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of liquid ammonia spherical tank protection technology, specifically relating to a liquid ammonia spherical tank anti-corrosion cooling and flow guiding device. Background Technology
[0002] As a critical facility for storing highly hazardous chemicals, the safety technology of liquid ammonia spherical tanks focuses on fire prevention, cooling, and leakage control. Currently, external spray systems combined with heat-insulating cooling paint are commonly used to cool the tank. The spray water curtain reduces surface temperature and dilutes leaked ammonia through evaporation and heat absorption. The tank surface is coated with a high-reflectivity cooling paint to reduce temperature rise caused by solar radiation and avoid traditional insulation materials hindering the spray effect. Furthermore, the tank layout must strictly adhere to fire separation standards and fire dikes must be installed to prevent the spread of leaks. The tanks are equipped with multi-parameter monitoring instruments for pressure, liquid level, and temperature, as well as an ammonia concentration-linked alarm system. However, existing liquid ammonia spherical tanks do not further recycle spray water or rainwater, resulting in significant water waste. Simultaneously, spray water or rainwater, due to gravity and inertia, easily flows into bottom valves, flanges, and other connections on the tank surface, causing further damage to the tank.
[0003] CN211215073U discloses a high-efficiency and energy-saving fire-fighting and cooling spray device for spherical tanks. This device has an installation box at the bottom of the spherical tank to collect the water generated by the spraying, and a water collection chamber and a sedimentation chamber inside the installation box. A protective box is installed at the top to transport the spraying water. Multiple spray pipes are arranged sequentially from top to bottom of the spherical tank for cooling. Through reasonable design of the above components, the spraying water is recycled, effectively reducing water waste. However, this device only focuses on the recycling of spraying water and does not consider that the spraying water may carry acidic substances (such as CO2, SO2) from the air or residual ammonia on the tank surface during its flow, forming a weakly alkaline or corrosive water film, accelerating the corrosion of metal components such as bottom flanges and bolts. Simultaneously, when the spraying water flows naturally down the surface of the spherical tank, the curvature of the tank easily forms local water accumulation areas at the bottom, leading to long-term aging of valve seals. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a corrosion-resistant cooling and diversion device for liquid ammonia spherical tanks to solve the corrosion problem of bottom components in liquid ammonia spherical tanks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology and provide a corrosion-resistant, cooling and flow-guiding device for liquid ammonia spherical tanks. By setting a detachable water-blocking ring on the liquid ammonia spherical tank, the corrosion of the bottom components of the tank by water is reduced, and the flowing water forms a water curtain, which can further prevent the diffusion of ammonia gas when leaking from the bottom. At the same time, rainwater can be collected during the rainy season by using the collection tank and the filter tank, realizing the utilization of water resources and reducing resource waste.
[0005] The anti-corrosion and cooling diversion device for liquid ammonia spherical tanks of this utility model includes a spherical tank body, a rinsing device, and a diversion device. Both the rinsing device and the diversion device are located outside the spherical tank body. The rinsing device includes a primary rinsing frame and a secondary rinsing frame. The primary rinsing frame is arranged in three layers from bottom to top along the spherical tank body, starting from the middle. The secondary rinsing frame is a single layer located at the bottom of the spherical tank. Both the primary and secondary rinsing frames are fixed to the spherical tank body via connecting frames. The spherical tank body is fixed by a support frame. The rinsing device is connected to a delivery pump. The delivery pump has a pipeline connected to the bottom of a collection tank, and a control valve D is installed on the pipeline. The collection tank is located at the bottom of a filter tank, and the upper surface of the filter tank is covered with permeable bricks. The diversion device consists of a primary water-blocking ring and a secondary water-blocking ring, both located on the spherical tank body, forming a ring-shaped diversion space.
[0006] Preferably, both the primary and secondary rinsing racks are equipped with water spray guns, the spray angle of which is adjustable and they are evenly distributed in a ring on the primary and secondary rinsing racks.
[0007] Preferably, the secondary rinsing rack is located between the primary and secondary water-blocking rings. The primary and secondary rinsing racks are connected to the delivery pump through different pipelines. A control valve A is installed on the pipeline connecting the primary rinsing rack to the delivery pump, and a control valve B is installed on the pipeline connecting the secondary rinsing rack to the delivery pump.
[0008] Preferably, the primary and secondary water-blocking rings have the same structure, both consisting of three silicone water-blocking strips. Each silicone water-blocking strip consists of a handle guide structure and a bottom base, with the bottom base bonded to the main body of the spherical tank via an integrated adhesive backing. Furthermore, the silicone water-blocking strips are bendable, making them easy to attach to the surface of the spherical tank after bending. They can also be adaptively adjusted within a certain range according to the position of the water spraying device, and can be increased or decreased if the length is unsuitable.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting part of the silicone water-blocking strip is equipped with a magnetic structure for magnetic connection of two silicone water-blocking strips; furthermore, the magnetic structure is detachable, and the silicone water-blocking strip can be re-embedded in the magnetic structure after being divided due to length.
[0010] Preferably, a drainage pipe is provided on one side of the collection tank, and a control valve C is provided on the drainage pipe. The inlet of the delivery pump is provided with a pipe connected to the fire water. Furthermore, the pipe connecting the inlet of the delivery pump to the fire water is controlled by the control valve D.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the filter tank is provided with a square filter mechanism, which is provided with a surface primary filter layer, an internal activated carbon layer and a bottom filter plate from top to bottom.
[0012] Preferably, the primary filter screen in the surface primary filter layer is fixed as a cuboid frame structure by a bracket and covers the outside of the activated carbon layer; the filter plate includes a support grid and a composite filter screen, the composite filter screen is fixed to the surface of the support grid, the filter plate is detachably connected to the collection tank, and is located in the central area of the bottom of the collection tank.
[0013] Specifically, the process of using the liquid ammonia spherical tank corrosion prevention, cooling, and diversion device is as follows: When a leak is detected in the liquid ammonia spherical tank or when cooling is required, the transfer pump switch is turned on, control valves A and B are opened, and control valve C is closed. Water in the collection tank is transferred to the rinsing device, and water is sprayed through the spray guns on the primary and secondary rinsing frames to cool the main body of the spherical tank. The rinsing water flows down along the main body of the spherical tank. The rinsing water sprayed from the primary rinsing frame is guided by the primary water baffle ring, forming a water curtain. Part of the rinsing water sprayed from the secondary rinsing frame falls naturally, and the other part is guided by the secondary water baffle ring to prevent ammonia-containing wastewater from entering the bottom valve and causing corrosion. The ammonia-containing wastewater enters the bottom filter tank through the permeable bricks, and after multi-stage filtration through the primary filter, activated carbon, and composite filter, it enters the bottom collection tank for recycling. When the amount of rinsing water in the collection tank is insufficient, control valve D is adjusted to connect the pipeline connecting the transfer pump and the fire water supply to ensure a stable water volume. When the leak point is located at the upper end of the spherical tank, the adjustable control valve A opens and the control valve B closes, reducing the waste of rinsing water. The water curtain formed by the first-stage water barrier can effectively isolate the leaked ammonia gas.
[0014] When the rainy season occurs, rainwater dripping onto the main body of the spherical tank can pass through the permeable bricks into the filter tank under the action of the first-stage water-blocking ring, and then enter the collection tank for collection. When it is used later, it can be directly transported by the transfer pump. When the amount of rainwater is large, the water storage in the collection tank is limited. At this time, the control valve C is opened, and the water is sent to the sewage network through the drainage pipe at the bottom of the collection tank.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model combines a detachable water-blocking ring with a showering device to form a guiding water curtain, effectively blocking the spread of liquid ammonia leakage and reducing corrosion of tank bottom components. At the same time, the spray range can be adjusted to accurately respond to leakage scenarios, taking into account both safety and water conservation needs. Secondly, the rainwater guiding structure combined with a multi-stage filter tank realizes the automatic collection, purification and recycling of rainwater, and controls the discharge of stored water or the replenishment of fire-fighting water through valves, significantly improving resource utilization and environmental benefits. Finally, the water-blocking ring can be bent and adjusted and magnetically spliced, adapting to the curvature of the spherical tank and is easy to disassemble and assemble, greatly reducing maintenance costs.

[0024] Both the primary rinsing rack 201 and the secondary rinsing rack 202 are fixed to the main body 1 of the spherical tank via a connecting frame 204. Both the primary rinsing rack 201 and the secondary rinsing rack 202 are equipped with water spray guns 203.

At this time, the control valve C9 is opened, and the water is sent to the sewage network through the drainage pipe 15 at the bottom of the collection tank 11.
