[0017] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] In the diagram: 1-Tank body; 2-Break plate; 3-First chamber; 4-Second chamber; 5-Connecting conduit; 6-Air inlet; 7-Air outlet; 8-Air suction port; 9-Liquid replenishment port; 10-Drain port; 11-Overflow port; 12-Sewage outlet. Detailed Implementation

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a protective device for an ammonia storage tank, including a tank body 1. A partition plate 2 is provided inside the tank body 1, and a first chamber 3 and a second chamber 4, which are independent of each other, are respectively provided on both sides of the partition plate 2. The partition plate 2 is horizontally arranged inside the tank body 1, dividing the interior of the tank body 1 into two chambers. The space at the top of the partition plate 2 is the first chamber 3, and the space at the bottom of the partition plate 2 is the second chamber 4. The first chamber 3 and the second chamber 4 are independent of each other.

[0020] The second chamber 4 stores an absorbent liquid for absorbing ammonia gas. The absorbent liquid is preferably an acidic liquid, which neutralizes the ammonia gas, thus achieving ammonia absorption. The acidic liquid is filled with irregular filler material to increase the contact area between the acidic liquid and the ammonia gas. The irregular filler material is made of irregular stainless steel scraps, which helps to increase the contact area and improve the ammonia absorption effect. A connecting conduit 5 is provided between the second chamber 4 and the first chamber 3, with one end extending below the surface of the absorbent liquid. The connecting conduit 5 is used to introduce the ammonia gas from the first chamber 3 into the acidic liquid in the second chamber 4, allowing the ammonia gas to be absorbed by the acidic liquid and preventing air pollution.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, tank 1 is equipped with an inlet 6, an outlet 7, and a suction port 8. One end of the inlet 6 is connected to the ammonia storage tank, and the other end is connected to the first chamber 3. Ammonia gas in the ammonia storage tank can enter the first chamber 3 through the inlet 6, and then enter the acidic liquid in the second chamber 4 through the connecting conduit 5. The outlet 7 is connected to the second chamber 4, and one end of the outlet 7 is located above the liquid surface of the absorbent. The outlet 7 is used to discharge gas from the second chamber 4. If the acidic liquid absorbs ammonia gas to saturation, the excess ammonia gas is discharged through the outlet 7. The suction port 8 is connected to the first chamber 3 and is equipped with a one-way inlet valve. The one-way inlet valve allows external gas to enter the first chamber 3, and then enter the ammonia storage tank through the inlet 6, so as to balance the internal pressure of the ammonia storage tank.

[0022] This invention provides a protective device for an ammonia storage tank. When ammonia evaporates and produces ammonia gas due to high external temperatures, the tank body 1 can promptly absorb the ammonia gas, maintaining a stable pressure within the tank. When ammonia is rapidly pumped out or affected by low external temperatures, the device can promptly replenish the air inside the tank, preventing negative pressure and ensuring stable operation. This protective device can adjust its operating state according to changes in the external environment (high-pressure venting, low-pressure intake), allowing the ammonia gas to be absorbed by the absorbent liquid, thereby preventing the hazards caused by ammonia leakage.

[0023] To prevent impurities in the air from entering the ammonia storage tank, the first chamber 3 contains a purification liquid, typically pure water. One end of the suction port 8 extends below the surface of the purification liquid, while one end of the inlet port 6 is positioned above the surface of the purification liquid. External gas enters the purification liquid through the suction port 8, is purified by the purification liquid, and then enters the ammonia storage tank through the inlet port 6. It should be noted that the purification liquid in tank 1 can both trap impurities in the air and preliminarily absorb ammonia gas.

[0024] As an optional implementation, the connecting conduit 5 is inserted through the partition plate 2, with one end of the connecting conduit 5 extending above the surface of the purification liquid and the other end extending below the surface of the absorption liquid.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the tank 1 is provided with a liquid replenishment port 9, which is connected to the first chamber 3. The tank 1 is provided with a vent port 10, which is connected to the first chamber 3. The tank 1 is provided with an overflow port 11, which is connected to the second chamber 4, and the height of the overflow port 11 is lower than the height of the vent port 7. The tank 1 is provided with a drain port 12, which is connected to the second chamber 4.

[0026] The functions of each port on tank 1 are as follows:

[0027] (1) Air inlet 6 is used to connect the ammonia storage tank and the tank body 1. Ammonia gas from the ammonia storage tank enters the tank body 1 through this inlet, and air in the tank body 1 also enters the ammonia storage tank through this inlet.

[0028] (2) Outlet 7: After the ammonia is absorbed by the acidic liquid in the tank 1, the excess gas is discharged into the air through this outlet.

[0029] (3) Liquid replenishment port 9, which serves as the replenishment port for the purified liquid in tank 1;

[0030] (4) Drain 12: When the absorbent in tank 1 is completely neutralized with ammonia, the absorbent is drained through this drain.

[0031] (5) Overflow port 11, when the absorbent liquid reaches a certain height, it overflows from this port, and at the same time, this port is also the replenishment port for the absorbent liquid;

[0032] (6) Air intake 8: When the pressure inside the ammonia storage tank decreases, air from the atmosphere enters the tank body 1 through this port and then enters the ammonia storage tank through the air inlet 6.

[0033] (7) Drain 10, through which the purified liquid in tank 1 is discharged.

[0034] In normal operation, the protective device of this utility model connects the air inlet 6 to the air outlet 7 of the ammonia storage tank. When the ammonia in the ammonia storage tank evaporates due to the influence of high external temperature, it can promptly receive the ammonia discharged from the ammonia storage tank. The ammonia first enters the first chamber 3, and then enters the second chamber 4 through the connecting pipe 5, where it comes into contact with the acidic liquid at the bottom, undergoes a neutralization reaction, and absorbs the ammonia. The acidic liquid contains irregular stainless steel filings, which increases the contact area between the acidic liquid and the ammonia. Excess gas is discharged from the air outlet 7. In addition, when the liquid in the ammonia storage tank is pumped out in a short time or affected by the low external temperature, a negative pressure will be generated in the ammonia storage tank. At this time, it is necessary to replenish the gas to maintain the pressure inside the tank in balance with the atmospheric pressure. The one-way air inlet valve installed on the air inlet 8 automatically opens, drawing the gas in the air into the first chamber 3. After the gas in the air passes through the purification liquid in the first chamber 3 to remove dust and other impurities, it then enters the ammonia storage tank in reverse through the air inlet 6 to balance the internal pressure of the ammonia storage tank. This protective device can adjust its working state differently when the ammonia storage tank is affected by changes in the external environment (high-pressure venting, low-pressure intake), balance the internal pressure of the ammonia storage tank, and allow the ammonia gas to be absorbed by the acidic liquid through a neutralization reaction, thereby preventing the hazards caused by ammonia gas leakage.

Furthermore, the specific features and structures described in the embodiments are included in at least one implementation method.
