Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of methanol storage tanks, specifically a methanol storage tank that uses natural air condensation for heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] Methanol storage tanks are specialized equipment used to store methanol, a flammable and volatile organic solvent. They are widely used in chemical, energy, and pharmaceutical industries. The materials used are usually selected according to storage requirements, including stainless steel, fiberglass, and carbon steel lined with plastic. The structural design must meet safety standards such as good sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and explosion prevention to prevent methanol leakage from causing fires, explosions, or environmental pollution.

[0003] Currently, methanol storage tanks typically employ mechanical refrigeration or passive metal shell cooling during storage and heat dissipation. However, mechanical refrigeration requires additional energy consumption, increasing energy consumption during storage. Furthermore, passive cooling methods have low heat exchange efficiency, making it difficult to meet the heat dissipation requirements of methanol storage. Therefore, we propose a methanol storage tank with natural air condensation cooling to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include: by setting up an annular heat dissipation plate and heat dissipation fins, the heat dissipation area of ​​the methanol storage tank surface is increased, accelerating the transfer of heat from the tank to the air.

An annularly arranged air inlet pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the annular condenser pipe 8. Through the annular heat dissipation plate 2 and multiple heat dissipation fins 3, by increasing the contact area with air, heat inside the tank is quickly transferred to the air, achieving initial heat dissipation. The ring-shaped heat dissipation fins 7 enable heat dissipation from the top of the methanol storage tank 1. The methanol storage tank 1 is made of 304 stainless steel, which is resistant to methanol corrosion and has high strength. The ring-shaped heat dissipation plate 2 and heat dissipation fins 3 are made of aluminum alloy, which has excellent thermal conductivity. The circular heat dissipation plate 6 and heat dissipation fins 7 are made of copper, improving the heat dissipation efficiency at the top. The ring-shaped condenser tube 8 and the arc-shaped heat exchange fins 9 are made of brass, which is temperature resistant and has good condensation effect. Furthermore, this methanol storage tank 1 is suitable for use in well-ventilated outdoor or open factory buildings. Good air circulation is necessary to promote natural convection heat dissipation. The ambient temperature should not exceed 40℃ for extended periods to avoid affecting heat dissipation efficiency. It should be kept away from highly corrosive gases or dusty environments to prevent component corrosion. It should also be kept away from fire sources, static electricity, and flammable and explosive materials to ensure storage safety.

[0023] In this embodiment, an inlet pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the methanol storage tank 1, a stop valve 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inlet pipe 13, an outlet pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the methanol storage tank 1, a gate valve 19 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outlet pipe 18, a drain pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the methanol storage tank 1, a ball valve 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drain pipe 17, a connecting flange 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the inlet pipe 13 and one end of the outlet pipe 18, the inlet pipe 13 is located above the outlet pipe 18, the inlet pipe 13 is used for methanol injection, the stop valve 14 can control the opening and closing of the inlet, the outlet pipe 18 supplies methanol output, the gate valve 19 can adjust the discharge speed and cut off the discharge, the drain pipe 17 is used to clean impurities in the tank, the ball valve 16 controls the opening and closing of the drain pipe 17, and the connecting flange 15 facilitates the connection of the inlet pipe 13 and the outlet pipe 18 to external pipelines.

[0024] In this embodiment, an annular groove 11 is provided on the upper surface of the connecting end 4, and a sealing gasket 12 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the annular groove 11. The bottom end of the sealing cover 5 is in close contact with the upper surface of the sealing gasket 12. The bottom end of each air inlet pipe 10 passes through the sealing cover 5 and extends into the interior of the methanol storage tank 1. The outer surface of the annular condenser pipe 8 is fixedly connected with annularly arranged arc-shaped heat exchange plates 9. The outer surface of the methanol storage tank 1 is fixedly connected with multiple support seats 20. The outer surface of each support seat 20 is provided with a fixing hole 21. Through the sealing gasket 12 in the annular groove 11, it can be in close contact with the sealing cover 5, which enhances the sealing performance of the methanol storage tank 1 and prevents methanol leakage. Through the support seat 20 and the fixing hole 21, the methanol storage tank 1 is stably installed on the ground or on the bracket to ensure the stability of the methanol storage tank 1.

[0025] Working principle: When methanol in methanol storage tank 1 generates heat due to the rise in ambient temperature, the heat is first transferred through the metal wall of methanol storage tank 1 to the annular heat exchange plate 2 on the surface. Multiple heat exchange fins 3 of the annular heat exchange plate 2 cause the heat to be quickly dissipated to the surrounding air, initially reducing the temperature inside the tank. At the same time, methanol vapor volatilized in methanol storage tank 1 enters the annular condenser tube 8 through the air inlet pipe 10. The arc-shaped heat exchange fins 9 on the surface of the annular condenser tube 8 expand the heat dissipation area and use air convection to carry away the heat of the vapor, causing the vapor to condense into liquid and flow back into methanol storage tank 1, reducing methanol volatilization loss. Then, the circular heat exchange plate 6 and the annularly arranged heat exchange fins 7 on the sealing cover 5 enable the heat accumulated at the top of methanol storage tank 1 to be continuously dissipated through natural air flow. The entire process relies on natural air convection to complete heat exchange, meeting the safe heat dissipation requirements for methanol storage.

[0026] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
