TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of pressure regulating box with gas pipeline freeze block. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gas is widely used in industrial production, city gas supply and power generation as a clean energy. However, in cold or high humidity environment, water vapor inside gas pipeline is easy to condense, and combine with hydrocarbons in gas under low temperature condition to form solid hydrate. The generation of hydrate will gradually block the pipeline, affect the normal operation of gas transmission, and even cause abnormal pressure rise of pipeline, increase safety hazard. Especially in high-pressure gas transmission process, gas throttling will produce Joule-Thomson effect, which will further reduce the temperature of gas, thereby accelerating the formation of hydrate and increasing the risk of gas pipeline freeze block.
[0003] The existing gas pipeline anti-freeze block technology mainly adopts the following methods:
[0004] Heating insulation method: improve the temperature of gas pipeline by pipeline heating, external insulation layer or heating equipment to prevent the formation of hydrate. However, this method has problems such as high energy consumption, high operation cost and complex installation, especially in long-distance gas transmission system, it is difficult to achieve efficient control.
[0005] Pressure control method: adjust the pressure of gas pipeline to keep it out of the hydrate formation pressure range. However, in practical application, the adjustment of gas pressure is limited by pipeline operating conditions, and cannot fundamentally eliminate the possibility of hydrate formation.
[0006] Chemical inhibitor injection method: inject methanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and other chemical inhibitors into gas transmission system to reduce the condensation point of water vapor in gas and destroy the crystal structure of hydrate, so that it cannot exist stably. This method is widely used in gas transmission field, but the existing inhibitor injection device generally has problems such as difficult precise control, low mixing efficiency and low automation level.
[0007] At present, the common inhibitor injection equipment on the market mostly adopts fixed flow or manual control mode, which cannot dynamically adjust the injection amount according to gas flow, temperature change and other working conditions, resulting in insufficient or excessive use of inhibitor, affecting the anti-freeze block effect. In addition, traditional injection equipment does not fully consider the gas flow characteristics, resulting in uneven distribution of inhibitor in the pipeline, thereby reducing the hydrate inhibition efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pressure regulating box that can automatically and accurately adjust the injection amount of inhibitor and optimize the gas flow characteristics to improve the reliability and efficiency of gas pipeline anti-freeze block.
[0008] Therefore, aiming at the existing problems, the present application provides a pressure regulating tank with gas pipeline frozen blockage to solve the existing problems, and achieve the purposes of solving problems and improving practical value. Technical content
[0009] The present application aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art or related art.
[0010] The present application specifically relates to a pressure regulating tank with gas pipeline frozen blockage, aiming to solve the problem of hydrate formation caused by low-temperature environment in the gas conveying process, and improve the stability and safety of gas conveying.
[0011] The present application provides a pressure regulating tank with gas pipeline frozen blockage, which comprises a pressure regulating valve group, a buffer pipe group and an inhibitor filling assembly. The pressure regulating valve group is used for pressure regulation of gas to ensure that the gas enters the buffer pipe group at a stable pressure. The buffer pipe group comprises a mixing cylinder, a first diversion cone ring and a second diversion ring, wherein the first diversion cone ring and the second diversion ring are coaxially arranged with the mixing cylinder and are respectively provided with a core flow channel and an outer flow channel. After the gas enters the mixing cylinder, part of the gas flows linearly through the core flow channel, and the other part of the gas flows along the outer flow channel and impacts the gas flow in the core flow channel radially, thereby forming an impact blending effect. Meanwhile, a bundled flow channel is arranged between the first diversion cone ring and the second diversion ring, so that the gas forms efficient mixing between the multiple flow channels, improving the flow stability and mixing uniformity of the gas.
[0012] The inhibitor filling assembly comprises a filling pipe, a wire column rod, a screw sleeve tooth, a driving box, a driving motor and a piston plate. The driving motor drives the screw sleeve tooth to rotate, and through the screw transmission of the wire column rod, the linear motion of the piston plate is realized, so that the anti-freezing inhibitor in the filling pipe is extruded into the inside of the mixing cylinder. The end of the filling pipe is provided with a plurality of injection holes to ensure that the inhibitor is uniformly distributed in the mixing cylinder and fully mixed with the gas flow. The present application adopts a remote control system to control the driving motor, so as to realize the automatic and accurate addition of the inhibitor, and the injection amount of the inhibitor can be dynamically adjusted according to the gas flow rate, temperature and other parameters.
[0013] The present application has the following advantages:
[0014] Through the diversion and impact blending effect of the buffer pipe group, the uniformity of gas flow is improved, and the phenomenon of gas icing or hydrate blockage caused by excessively low local temperature is avoided;
[0015] The dynamically adjustable inhibitor filling system can automatically adjust the injection amount of the inhibitor according to the gas conveying condition, and realize precise control;
[0016] The driving motor is remotely controlled, which can be remotely operated to realize the automatic addition of the anti-freezing inhibitor, and improve the convenience and safety of use.
[0017] The compact structure and convenient installation are suitable for various gas conveying systems, especially for gas conveying pipelines in low-temperature and high-humidity environments.
[0018] Therefore, the anti-freezing and anti-blocking protection of the gas conveying pipeline is improved, the generation risk of hydrates is reduced, and the stability and safety of gas conveying are improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
