Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0022] The following reference Figures 1-2 This application describes an embodiment of an air pressurization device that integrates an air dryer and an air compressor into a skid.
[0023] An air pressurization device that integrates an air dryer and an air compressor into a skid includes a skid 1, an air compressor 2, a refrigerated compressed air dryer 3, a compressed air filter 4, an air-water separator assembly 5, and a dual compressed air filter assembly 6.
[0024] A piston-type air compressor is selected, which has the characteristics of high efficiency and large flow rate air supply. The air inlet of the air compressor 2 is connected to the mixed air inlet pipe group 201 and the filter valve group 202. The filter valve group 202 ensures the cleanliness of the intake air. The air outlet of the air compressor 2 is connected to the refrigerated compressed air dryer 3 through the air compressor outlet pipe group 203. The air compressor outlet pipe group 203 is connected to the air compressor pressure relief valve group 204 and the air compressor outlet check valve group 205 to prevent gas backflow. The refrigerated compressed air dryer 3 adopts refrigerated drying technology, which can effectively remove most of the moisture in the compressed air. It is equipped with a condensate drainage device, which drains water automatically at timed intervals or according to the feedback of the humidity sensor to ensure continuous and stable drying effect. The air outlet of the refrigerated compressed air dryer 3 is connected to the compressed air filter 4 through the air dryer outlet pipe group. The dried gas is delivered to the compressed air filter 4.
[0025] A high-precision compressed air filter 4 is used to remove tiny solid impurities from the air and further separate liquid water and oil from the air. The air inlet end of the compressed air filter 4 is connected to a filter inlet pipe group 401. The bottom of the compressed air filter 4 is equipped with a filter drain solenoid valve group 403 for automatic drainage at timed intervals. The air outlet end of the compressed air filter 4 is connected to the air-water separator group 5 through the filter outlet pipe group 402.
[0026] The gas-water separator group 5 consists of gas-water separator a and gas-water separator b, which can further and more effectively separate water from the gas and improve the gas quality. The input end of gas-water separator a is connected to the gas-water separator a inlet pipe group 501 and the filter outlet pipe group 402. The two gas-water separators are connected through the gas-water separator connecting pipe group 503. The bottom of each of the two gas-water separators is equipped with a gas-water separator drain valve group 502 for timed automatic drainage. The output end of gas-water separator b is connected to the dual compressed air filter group 6 through the gas-water separator b outlet pipe group 504.
[0027] The inlet of the dual compressed air filter assembly 6 is connected to the filter inlet pipe assembly 601, which is connected to the outlet pipe assembly 504 of the air-water separator b. The dual compressed air filter assembly 6 consists of two compressed air filters, which are connected by a filter connecting pipe assembly 602. Each of the two compressed air filters is equipped with a filter drain solenoid valve assembly 603 at the bottom. The outlet of the dual compressed air filter assembly 6 is connected to the filter outlet pipe assembly 604, and the outlet of the filter outlet pipe assembly 604 is connected to the dry air outlet pipe assembly 606. A dry air shut-off valve assembly 605 is installed on the filter outlet pipe assembly 604.
[0028] Furthermore, the skid 1 is a rectangular frame welded steel structure with sufficient load-bearing capacity. Its bottom is equipped with a forklift slot for easy movement and shock-absorbing rubber pads to ensure the stability and convenience of the skid during transportation and installation. The bottom of the equipment is equipped with adjustable height support feet with anti-slip pads to adapt to different site environments and ensure stable placement of the equipment.
[0029] Furthermore, the pipeline between the air compressor outlet pipe assembly 203 and the air inlet pipe assembly of the refrigerated compressed air dryer 3 is also sequentially connected to a pressure controller valve assembly 301, a safety valve assembly 302, a pressure gauge valve assembly 303, and a manual pressure relief valve assembly 304. When the equipment operates abnormally and overpressures, the safety valve assembly 302 automatically releases pressure or the pressure is manually released.
[0030] In a further embodiment, the equipment casing is made of fireproof, explosion-proof, and corrosion-resistant composite material, and the interior is filled with sound-absorbing and heat-insulating materials to effectively resist possible gas explosion impacts and effectively reduce equipment operating noise.
[0031] In a further embodiment, the units are connected by high-strength, high-pressure resistant stainless steel pipes, and the pipe joints use double compression fittings with excellent sealing performance to ensure that there is no leakage during the gas transmission process.
[0032] In a further embodiment, the interior of the skid frame 1 also integrates a PLC control cabinet 7 and a spare parts toolbox 8. The PLC control cabinet 7 is based on an advanced programmable logic controller and has a built-in intelligent pressure control algorithm. Combined with a high-precision pressure controller, it accurately controls the gas flow rate entering the pressurization unit and outputting to the test object according to the preset pressure value, so as to realize the dynamic and precise adjustment of pressure during the pressurization process.
[0033] The specific working process of an air pressurization device integrating an air dryer and an air compressor into a skid, as described above, is illustrated by the following embodiments:
[0034] Equipment Assembly: First, weld and assemble the skid mount 1, and install the shock-absorbing rubber pads and forklift slots at the bottom. Next, fix the air compressor 2 in the designated position on the skid mount 1, connect the inlet filter valve assembly 202 and the air compressor outlet check valve assembly 205, ensuring a seal. Install the refrigerated compressed air dryer 3, connect its inlet and outlet pipes, and test the condensate drainage device. Then, install the PLC and control circuit board in the electrical control box, and connect all sensors, pressure controllers, and other electrical components according to the circuit diagram, ensuring the wiring connections are correct and secure. Finally, install the equipment casing and support feet, and check the overall sealing and stability of the equipment.
[0035] Operating procedures:
[0036] Before starting the equipment, the operator inputs preset pressure value, gas type, test time and other parameters through the equipment control panel according to the requirements of the test object. The PLC receives and stores this information.
[0037] When the air compressor 2 is turned on, the outside air enters the air compressor 2 after being filtered by the air filter valve group 202 and compressed. The compressed air then enters the refrigerated compressed air dryer 3 to remove moisture. The dried gas then enters the two-stage air-water separator group 5 through the compressed air filter 4, and then passes through the double compressed air filter group 6 to ensure that the air is dry and free of impurities.
[0038] Based on the real-time pressure data fed back by the pressure monitoring unit, the PLC precisely adjusts the gas flow rate output to the test object through a high-precision pressure controller component, so that the pressure steadily rises to the preset value.
[0039] During the pressurization process, the pressure monitoring unit continuously monitors the pressure at various points. Once the pressure monitoring unit detects abnormal pressure fluctuations, the operator will immediately stop the machine and investigate the cause of the malfunction.
[0040] After the test is completed, turn off air compressor 2, open the pressure relief valve of the equipment to safely release the residual gas in the pipeline, disassemble the test object connecting pipeline, and prepare for the next round of testing.
[0041] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0042] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
