AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the pyrolysis gas produced during the pyrolysis of pulverized coal has a high content of coke powder, which is prone to deposition and leads to a decrease in valve sealing performance, affecting the sealing effect and potentially causing safety accidents and economic losses.
A double-hemispherical valve structure is designed, including a first hemisphere valve, a second hemisphere valve, and an intermediate valve body. A protective gas inlet and outlet are provided. High-temperature steam is used to purge and replace coke powder to ensure valve sealing performance and prevent coke powder and tar from condensing.
It effectively reduces the deposition of coke powder and tar, improves the sealing performance of valves, eliminates the leakage of pyrolysis gas, and ensures production safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, and in particular to a double-hemisphere valve. Background Technology
[0002] Coal pyrolysis refers to the process by which coal is heated in the absence of air, undergoing complex physical and chemical changes, and ultimately decomposing into products such as coal gas, coal tar, and coke / semi-coke / clean coal.
[0003] Coal pyrolysis uses pulverized coal as raw material. The general products are pyrolysis gas, coal tar, and clean coal. Because the raw material is pulverized coal, the pyrolysis gas contains a high amount of coke dust. Even after treatment by a two-stage cyclone dust collector, the coke dust content in the pyrolysis gas is still as high as 50 g / m³. 3 As the pyrolysis gas flow rate decreases and it collides with pipelines and equipment, the coke powder contained in the pyrolysis gas gradually settles down and adheres to the lower part of parallel-installed pipelines. Moreover, when the valve is closed, the temperature inside the pipeline downstream of the valve decreases, and a small amount of coal tar condenses and precipitates out, sticking to the valve sealing surface together with the coke powder, affecting the valve's sealing performance. When it is necessary to close the valve and cut off the gas medium, gas leakage often causes safety accidents, seriously affecting the smooth operation of production and causing very large economic losses. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a double-hemispherical valve to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] This utility model is implemented by the following technical solution: a double hemisphere valve, comprising a first hemisphere valve and a second hemisphere valve, and further comprising an intermediate valve body, one end of the intermediate valve body being connected to the outlet end of the valve body of the first hemisphere valve, and the other end of the intermediate valve body being connected to the inlet end of the valve body of the second hemisphere valve; a protective gas inlet is provided on the side wall of the intermediate valve body adjacent to the first hemisphere valve, and an inlet control valve is installed on the protective gas inlet; a protective gas outlet is provided on the side wall of the intermediate valve body adjacent to the second hemisphere valve, and an outlet control valve is installed on the protective gas outlet.
[0006] Furthermore, both the protective gas inlet and the protective gas outlet are located at the bottom of the intermediate valve body.
[0007] Furthermore, the valve stems of both the first and second hemispherical valves are arranged horizontally.
[0008] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting a first hemispherical valve and a second hemispherical valve, a double shut-off of the pipeline is achieved; and by adding an intermediate valve body between the first and second hemispherical valves, which has an inlet and outlet for protective gas, during the valve closing stage, the first hemispherical valve can be closed first, and then high-temperature steam is introduced through the protective gas inlet to purge the coke powder and other materials accumulated after the first hemispherical valve, and at the same time to replace the tar after the first hemispherical valve, thereby reducing the condensation and precipitation of coke powder and tar in the intermediate valve body and the valve body of the second hemispherical valve, ensuring the sealing performance of the second hemispherical valve, which can effectively improve the sealing effect of the double hemispherical valve described in this utility model, with reliable sealing performance, and eliminate the safety hazards caused by pyrolysis gas leakage.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0014] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a double-hemispherical valve includes a first hemispherical valve 1 and a second hemispherical valve 2, and also includes an intermediate valve body 3. One end of the intermediate valve body 3 is connected to the outlet end of the valve body of the first hemispherical valve 1, and the other end of the intermediate valve body 3 is connected to the inlet end of the valve body of the second hemispherical valve 2. A protective gas inlet 4 is provided on the side wall of the intermediate valve body 3 adjacent to the first hemispherical valve 1, and an inlet control valve 6 is installed on the protective gas inlet 4. A protective gas outlet 5 is provided on the side wall of the intermediate valve body 3 adjacent to the second hemispherical valve 2, and an outlet control valve 7 is installed on the protective gas outlet 5. Both the protective gas inlet 4 and the protective gas outlet 5 are located at the bottom of the intermediate valve body 3. The valve stems of the first hemispherical valve 1 and the second hemispherical valve 2 are both arranged horizontally, and each of the first hemispherical valve 1 and the second hemispherical valve 2 has an independent drive mechanism.
[0015] Instructions for use:
[0016] In use, the double hemisphere valve described in this embodiment is installed in a flat manner on a parallel conveying pipeline for pyrolysis gas (400-600℃), with the valve bodies of the first hemisphere valve 1 and the second hemisphere valve 2 installed in parallel, and the protective gas inlet 4 and the protective gas outlet 5 both located at the bottom of the intermediate valve body 3; wherein the inlet end of the valve body of the first hemisphere valve 1 is the gas inlet end, and the outlet end of the valve body of the second hemisphere valve 2 is the gas outlet end; the protective gas inlet 4 is connected to a high-temperature steam pipeline with a temperature of 400-500℃ and a pressure of 0.6MPa, and the protective gas outlet 5 is connected to an venting pipeline;
[0017] Valve opening: Keeping the inlet control valve 6 and outlet control valve 7 closed, the valve stems of the first hemispherical valve 1 and the second hemispherical valve 2 are driven to rotate the hemispheres of the first hemispherical valve 1 and the second hemispherical valve 2 to the top of the valve body to the open state. The pyrolysis gas is then transported through the first hemispherical valve 1, the intermediate valve body 3 and the second hemispherical valve 2 in sequence. Figure 1 (In the direction indicated by the middle arrow), some coke powder accumulates at the bottom of the valve during the process;
[0018] Valve Closure: First, close the first hemispherical valve 1; then open the inlet control valve 6 to purge the coke powder inside the valve with high-temperature steam at 400-500℃ and 0.6MPa, replacing the pyrolysis gas in the valve cavity. The raised coke powder and the replaced gas will be discharged through the second hemispherical valve 2. After 5-10 minutes, close the inlet control valve 6 and the second hemispherical valve 2 in sequence; finally, open the inlet control valve 6 and the outlet control valve 7 to continuously purge the intermediate valve body 3 with high-temperature steam through the protective gas inlet 4, and discharge it through the protective gas outlet 5. The discharged steam can be combined with the vent pipe for external discharge.
