[0017] Example

[0018] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a non-powered negative pressure flash evaporation device for tight gas condensate oil, including a flash tank 11, with an inlet pipe 8 connected to one side of the flash tank 11; a negative pressure ejector 4 is connected to the top of the flash tank 11 via a negative pressure ejector exhaust connection pipe 5, and a negative pressure ejector power gas inlet pipe 3 is connected to the front end of the negative pressure ejector 4. A power gas pressure transmitter 20 is provided on the negative pressure ejector power gas inlet pipe 3, and the other end of the negative pressure ejector power gas inlet pipe 3 is connected to the outlet of the flash pressure regulator 2. The flash pressure regulator 2 is connected to a high-pressure natural gas pipe 1 at its inlet end. The flash pressure regulator 2 controls the negative pressure of the flash tank 11 by adjusting the amount of gas entering the negative pressure ejector power gas inlet pipe 3. The rear end of the negative pressure ejector 4 is connected to a negative pressure ejector mixed gas outlet pipe 6, which is equipped with a mixed gas pressure transmitter 19. The negative pressure ejector mixed gas outlet pipe 6 is connected to the flash tank 11 via a make-up gas pipe, which is equipped with a make-up gas regulator 15. A drain pipe 12 is connected to the bottom of the flash tank 11. The other end of the drain pipe 12 is connected to the inlet end of a drain pump 13, and the outlet end of the drain pump 13 is connected to an outlet pipe 14. The drain pump 13 facilitates the transport of the flashed condensate oil to a stable condensate oil storage tank outside the unit.

[0019] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an auxiliary heater 10 is provided inside the flash tank 11. The auxiliary heater 10 is electrically heated. When the temperature inside the tank cannot meet the requirements for flash stabilization, the auxiliary heater 10 is turned on to maintain the temperature of the flash tank 11. A mist eliminator 9 is provided on the inner top wall of the flash tank 11. The mist eliminator 9 is installed below the negative pressure ejector exhaust connection pipe 5.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top of the flash tank 11 is provided with an overpressure vent pipe 7, and the overpressure vent pipe 7 is provided with an overpressure safety valve 21 to meet the venting requirements of overpressure and fire accidents.

[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flash tank 11 is also equipped with a flash tank temperature transmitter 16, a level gauge 17, and a flash tank pressure transmitter 18.

[0022] Working principle: Unstable condensate oil enters flash tank 11 through inlet pipe 8 for negative pressure flash evaporation. The flash evaporation temperature is automatically controlled by auxiliary heater 10 and flash tank temperature transmitter 16 installed in flash tank 11. Flash tank 11 is equipped with level gauge 17 and is set with high and low level alarm interlock. When the level reaches the high alarm, the drain pump 13 is started. The stable condensate oil after negative pressure flash evaporation is transported to the storage tank through drain pipe 12, drain pump 13 and outlet pipe 14. When the level reaches the low alarm, level gauge 17 interlocks and shuts down drain pump 13.

[0023] The negative pressure of the flash tank 11 is achieved by the negative pressure ejector 4. High-pressure natural gas enters the negative pressure ejector 4 through the high-pressure natural gas pipe 1, the flash pressure regulator 2, and the negative pressure ejector power gas inlet pipe 3. Due to the Venturi effect, a negative pressure chamber is formed in the negative pressure ejector 4. The flash vapor in the flash tank 11 is drawn into the negative pressure ejector 4 through the mist eliminator 9 and the negative pressure ejector gas extraction connection pipe 5. The negative pressure flash vapor is pressurized in the negative pressure ejector 4 and mixed with the high-pressure natural gas. Then it is transported to the station's natural gas system through the negative pressure ejector mixed gas outlet pipe 6.

[0024] The pressure control and protection of the flash tank 11 are achieved by the flash pressure regulator 2, the gas replenishment regulator 15, and the overpressure safety valve 21. During normal operation of the device, the flash pressure regulator 2 is automatically interlocked with the flash tank pressure transmitter 18. When the flash tank pressure transmitter 18 alarms due to excessive negative pressure, the opening of the interlocked flash pressure regulator 2 is reduced, decreasing the amount of power gas flowing through the power gas inlet pipe 3 of the negative pressure ejector. When the negative pressure flash pressure regulator 2 is adjusted to the lower limit of the opening, the flash tank pressure transmitter 18 continues to alarm due to excessive negative pressure. At this time, the automatic interlocked gas replenishment regulator 15 automatically replenishes gas. When the flash tank pressure transmitter 18 alarms due to insufficient negative pressure, the opening of the interlocked flash pressure regulator 2 increases, increasing the flow of power gas through the power gas inlet pipe 3 of the negative pressure ejector. When the negative pressure flash pressure regulator 2 is adjusted to its upper limit, the flash tank pressure transmitter 18 continues to alarm due to insufficient negative pressure. At this time, the automatic interlocked auxiliary heater 10 starts and provides auxiliary heating to the unstable condensate oil in the flash tank 11 to ensure the flash evaporation effect. The auxiliary heating temperature is determined based on the negative pressure value detected by the flash tank pressure transmitter 18. Simultaneously, a power gas pressure transmitter 20 is installed in the power gas inlet pipe 3 of the negative pressure ejector, and a mixed gas pressure transmitter 19 is installed in the mixed gas outlet pipe 6 of the negative pressure ejector to monitor the power gas and mixed gas pressures.

[0025] The flash tank 11 is equipped with an overpressure safety valve 21 and an overpressure venting pipe 7, which automatically vents when an overpressure condition or accident occurs, thereby protecting the pressure of the flash tank 11.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and application concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
