Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve insulation technology, and more specifically, to a valve insulation sleeve insulation device for use in air separation cold boxes. Background Technology

[0002] In air separation units, aluminum angle valves in cold boxes are generally not installed vertically; their installation position is close to horizontal with the pipes inside the cold box. The conventional practice for the insulation sleeves of valves inside the air separation cold box is to fill them with insulation cotton for heat insulation and cold preservation. However, the insulation cotton cannot be compacted during the filling process, which affects the insulation effect of the valve sleeve. The low-temperature liquid medium inside the cold box leaks into the hollow part of the upper valve cover through the valve cover guide sleeve and valve core guide, forming liquid accumulation. When the low-temperature liquid comes into contact with air, it will vaporize and frost, causing the air separation cold box to lose cold, thereby increasing the energy loss of the air separation unit and reducing the practical performance of the unit. Based on this, this utility model designs an insulation device for the valve insulation sleeves inside the air separation cold box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-4 A heat insulation device for valve insulation sleeves in an air separation cold box includes a valve body 1. A valve seat 2 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the valve body 1. A valve core 3 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the valve seat 2. An upper valve cover 5 is slidably connected to the outer side of the valve core 3. The upper valve cover 5 is fixedly connected to the valve body 1, and a heat insulation component 6 is provided on the outer side of the upper valve cover 5. By setting the heat insulation component 6, a multi-layer heat insulation structure is formed, which effectively solves the problem of valve cover frost caused by the inadequate filling of traditional single heat insulation cotton. A connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the upper valve cover 5. The connecting pipe 8 passes through the heat insulation component 6 and is connected to a sealing component 7. By setting the sealing component 7, outside air is prevented from entering through the gap between the valve stem 4 and the connecting pipe 8, further avoiding the phenomenon of vaporization and frost when the low temperature liquid encounters air, thereby greatly improving the energy efficiency of the entire cold box. A valve stem 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the valve core 3. The valve stem 4 passes through the sealing component 7 and extends outward.

[0020] The insulation component 6 includes an insulation sleeve 61 fixedly connected to the outside of the upper valve cover 5. The bottom of the inner cavity of the insulation sleeve 61 is filled with perlite 62, the particle size of which is required to be between 20-40 mesh. The perlite 62 is filled to 1 / 3 of the entire insulation sleeve 61 and compacted. Insulation cotton 63 is filled on top of the perlite 62. During the installation process, it is filled and compacted simultaneously to ensure compaction. The filling continues until it reaches 20 cm from the edge of the insulation sleeve 61, at which point the filling of insulation cotton stops. An installation plate 65 is fixedly connected to the top of the insulation sleeve 61, and a clip is fixedly connected to the outside of the installation plate 65. A clamp 66 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamp 66, and a second clamp 68 is fixedly connected to the side of the floating sleeve 67 away from the clamp 66. A fixing member 69 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the second clamp 68, and the fixing member 69 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 8. In order to isolate the inside of the insulation sleeve from the outside air, a foaming agent 64 is filled on top of the insulation cotton 63. The foaming agent 64 is in contact with the floating sleeve 67, and the foaming agent 64 seals the insulation sleeve 61, isolating the inside of the insulation sleeve 61 from the outside air and forming a vacuum state.

[0021] By setting up the insulation component 6, the device forms a multi-layer insulation structure by filling the bottom of the insulation sleeve 61 with compacted perlite 62, filling the middle with insulation cotton 63, and sealing the top with foaming agent 64. This effectively solves the problem of valve cover frost caused by the traditional single insulation cotton not being properly filled.

[0022] The sealing assembly 7 includes a fixed sleeve 71 fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting pipe 8. The inner cavity of the fixed sleeve 71 has an installation groove 72. A packing seat 73 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation groove 72. A packing element 74, which is a sealing material, is filled above the packing seat 73. An installation component is provided at the top end of the fixed sleeve 71. The packing element 74 fits into the installation component. The installation component includes a packing pressure plate 76 fixedly connected to the top end of the fixed sleeve 71. A pressure plate bolt 77 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the packing pressure plate 76. A packing gland 75 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate bolt 77. The packing gland 75 fits into the packing element 74. By pushing the packing gland 75 downward by the pressure plate bolt 77, the packing gland 75 compacts and fits the packing element 74, thereby sealing the device.

[0023] By setting the sealing component 7, the device can be sealed to prevent outside air from entering through the gap between the valve stem 4 and the connecting pipe 8, thereby further avoiding the phenomenon of vaporization and frost when the cryogenic liquid comes into contact with air, thus basically eliminating the problem of cold box leakage, and greatly improving the energy efficiency of the entire cold box.

[0024] The working principle of this practical feature:

[0025] First, a layer of perlite 62 with a particle size of 20-40 mesh is filled into the bottom of the insulation sleeve 61, filling 1 / 3 of the insulation sleeve 61 and compacting it. Then, insulation cotton 63 is filled on top of the perlite 62, and it is compacted while filling to ensure it is tight. When the insulation cotton is filled to 20 cm from the edge of the insulation sleeve 61, the filling is stopped. Then, foaming agent 64 is filled 20 cm from the edge of the insulation cotton 63. The foaming agent 64 can be a polyurethane foaming agent. The foaming agent 64 seals the insulation sleeve 61, isolating the inside of the insulation sleeve 61 from the outside air and forming a vacuum state. This effectively solves the problem of valve cover frost caused by the traditional single insulation cotton not being properly filled.

[0026] Then, the packing element 74 is filled on top of the packing seat 73, and the pressure plate bolt 77 is rotated. At this time, the pressure plate bolt 77 will move downward on the packing pressure plate 76, thereby pushing the packing gland 75 downward, so that the packing gland 75 compacts and fits the packing element 74, thereby sealing the device and preventing outside air from entering through the gap between the valve stem 4 and the connecting pipe 8. This further avoids the phenomenon of vaporization and frost when the cryogenic liquid comes into contact with air, thus basically eliminating the problem of cold box leakage, and greatly improving the energy consumption performance of the entire cold box.
