Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas station equipment, and in particular to a dehumidification device for operating wells. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial area for maintenance and upkeep in oil tank areas, the environmental conditions of gas station operating wells directly impact the normal operation and lifespan of equipment. Due to the high concentration of oil and gas within the operating wells, paint on equipment exposed to this environment for extended periods is prone to dissolution and peeling, affecting not only the equipment's appearance but also reducing its corrosion resistance and accelerating aging. Simultaneously, the contact between the operating well walls and the soil makes water seepage likely, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the well causes condensation, resulting in persistently high humidity within the operating well. This creates favorable conditions for the corrosion of metal components. Metal components such as pipes and valves, when exposed to a humid environment for extended periods, are highly susceptible to corrosion, reducing equipment strength, affecting normal function, posing safety hazards, and in severe cases, potentially leading to oil leaks and accidents. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe, effective, and reusable dehumidification device to reduce humidity within the operating wells, protect equipment from oil and gas corrosion and the effects of a humid environment, and ensure the normal operation and safe use of equipment within gas station operating wells.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 A dehumidification device for an operating well is described in detail with reference to a specific embodiment. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the dehumidification device for the operating well of this utility model includes a drying tank 100 and a water storage tank. The drying tank 100 is used to hold dried particles, and its outer surface has multiple air inlets 110, while its bottom surface has a water collection outlet 120. A water storage tank 130 is connected to the bottom surface of the drying tank 100 and is used to receive water droplets dripping from the water collection outlet 120. A hook 140 is provided on the side of the water storage tank 130 for suspending the device inside the operating well.

[0040] Specifically, the drying tank 100 is a vertically arranged cylinder with a feeding port 150 on its top surface for adding dried particles. Figure 3 As shown, the feeding port 150 is covered by the upper cover 160, which has a groove 170. A buckle 180 is located on the side of the feeding port 150, and the buckle 180 engages with the groove 170 to ensure a secure seal. The upper cover 160 also has an air inlet 110 to increase airflow. Multiple air inlets 110 are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the drying tank 100 to ensure sufficient contact between air and the dried particles.

[0041] The water storage tank 130 is a horizontally positioned cuboid with a water inlet 190 on its top surface, which connects to the water collection outlet 120 of the drying tank 100. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the water storage tank 130 has a drain outlet 210 at one end, and the drain outlet 210 is equipped with a threaded cap 220 for easy periodic cleaning of accumulated water. The water storage tank 130 is made of transparent or semi-transparent plastic for easy observation of the water level.

[0042] It should be noted that, as Figure 4 As shown, there are three drying tanks 100, which are arranged side by side on the top surface of the water storage tank 130. The top surface of the water storage tank 130 is also provided with a baffle 200, which surrounds the three drying tanks 100 to prevent water droplets from splashing out or oil vapor from entering the drying tanks 100, and at the same time serves a protective function.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that the dryer tank 100 is made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and high-strength, making it suitable for the high oil and gas concentration environment inside gas station operating wells. The water storage tank 130 is made of plastic, which is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and low-cost, and easy to manufacture and install.

[0044] In use, the device is suspended in the operating well via the hook 140 on the side of the water storage tank 130. The drying particles in the drying tank 100 come into contact with the humid air in the well through the air inlet 110 and the air inlet 110 of the top cover 160, absorbing moisture and condensing into water droplets. These droplets drip into the water storage tank 130 through the water collection outlet 120. When the water level in the water storage tank 130 reaches a certain height, the threaded cap 220 is opened to drain the accumulated water. After the drying particles are depleted to a low level, the top cover 160 is opened to replenish the drying particles through the feeding port 150.

[0045] This invention uses drying particles to absorb moisture inside the operating well, effectively reducing humidity and decreasing equipment corrosion and failure rates. The device has a simple and practical structure, is reusable, significantly improves the humid environment inside the operating well, extends equipment lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs and safety risks.

[0047] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
