Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a safe booster system for mixed-air light hydrocarbon gas. Background Technology

[0002] Mixed-air light hydrocarbon gas is a new type of green energy, produced by gasifying liquid light hydrocarbons and mixing them with air. Its main feedstock is a mixture of pentane and other hydrocarbons, a byproduct of oil and gas fields and refineries. It has been listed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development as the fourth type of city gas after manufactured gas, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas.

[0003] However, in solving the problem of high-pressure gas transmission, especially in the pressurization safety control of a large flow rate of 6000 Nm³ / h pentane mixed air gas, many problems were encountered: 1) The flow velocity in a DN200 pipeline at 6000 Nm³ / h reached 21.6 m / s, far exceeding the safety limit of >15 m / s; 2) Single-stage pressurization (compression) can easily lead to a gas temperature >260℃, which will cause the auto-ignition point of pentane to be affected; 3) Traditional coolers can reduce the gas temperature to 25℃, which may cause pentane liquefaction and pose a risk of condensation.
