Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline mixer technology, and in particular to a pipeline mixer for reducing the resistance of a liquid nitrogen washing synthesis gas system. Background Technology

[0002] The liquid nitrogen washing process uses liquid nitrogen to dissolve and absorb various impurities such as CO in the process gas, so that the impurities are separated from the gaseous hydrogen in liquid form, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the raw material hydrogen.

[0003] When pipeline mixers are in use, the internal support structure of traditional pipeline mixers usually adopts a single-point support design. Its structural strength is difficult to withstand the impact of instantaneous high-pressure airflow. During production operation, when the system fails, a large amount of venting causes the syngas pipeline to pass through with an excessively large volume. This causes the internal components of the pipeline mixer located between the plate-fin heat exchangers to be squeezed and deformed, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel is greatly reduced. Ultimately, this leads to blockage of the syngas pipeline, increases the resistance of the liquid nitrogen washing system, and disrupts the heat exchange system. Existing pipeline mixers cannot effectively avoid internal component deformation when facing high production loads or emergency venting situations, and cannot guarantee the stable operation of the liquid nitrogen washing system, increasing production risks and maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned problem of inconvenience in preventing internal components from deforming under high load or emergency venting conditions, a pipeline mixer can be designed to reduce the resistance of the liquid nitrogen washing syngas system. During normal production, the syngas enters through the pipeline mixer inlet. Guided by the corrugated plates, the syngas flows evenly and orderly along the corrugated path, reducing airflow turbulence and resistance. During this process, the inner support frame, composed of radial support rods and annular support rings, ensures the structural stability of the pipeline mixer, bearing the pressure and impact force generated by the syngas flow. When the system malfunctions and experiences a large-scale venting or a sudden increase in production load, an excessive amount of syngas enters the pipeline mixer. The holes in the corrugated plates will absorb part of the gas flow and absorb some of the gas. The airflow impact force reduces the impact intensity of the airflow on the internal components. At the same time, the internal support frame, with its stable frame structure, further disperses and bears the remaining impact force, ensuring that the internal components such as the corrugated plate will not be squeezed and deformed due to excessive force. This reduces the instantaneous pressure peak, and the treated syngas flows out of the pipeline mixer outlet in a stable and uniform state, entering the subsequent liquid nitrogen washing process. This ensures the stable operation of the liquid nitrogen washing system and effectively reduces system resistance. It is particularly suitable for liquid nitrogen washing process scenarios with large fluctuations in syngas processing volume. The device enhances the overall structural strength of the pipeline mixer through the internal support structure, and, together with the buffer mechanism, absorbs the impact force of large volumes of syngas, effectively preventing the internal components from being squeezed and deformed under high load or emergency venting conditions, greatly reducing the risk of syngas pipeline blockage. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment: a pipeline mixer for reducing the resistance of a liquid nitrogen washing syngas system, comprising an outer shell 1, support rings 2, support rods 3, corrugated plates 4, flow guide holes 5, and a buffer assembly. Two sets of support rings 2 are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the outer shell 1. Multiple sets of support rods 3 are fixedly arranged inside the support rings 2. Multiple sets of corrugated plates 4 are arranged between the two sets of support rings 2. Multiple sets of flow guide holes 5 are opened through the inside of the corrugated plates 4. A buffer assembly is arranged inside the outer shell 1.

[0023] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The buffer assembly includes guide rods 6, limiting rings 7, and damping cylinders 8. Multiple sets of guide rods 6 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support ring 2. Limiting rings 7 are fixedly installed at both the upper and lower ends of the guide rods 6. Damping cylinders 8 are installed on the side walls of the guide rods 6. When a sudden load change occurs in the system, the excess airflow first impacts the corrugated plate 4. At this time, the damping cylinders 8 on both sides of the corrugated plate 4 generate axial displacement on the guide rods 6. The buffer assembly also includes damping springs 9. The upper and lower side walls of the corrugated plate 4 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the damping cylinders 8. The damping cylinders 8 are slidably connected to the guide rods 6. Damping springs 9 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the damping cylinders 8. The damping cylinder 8 generates axial displacement on the guide rod 6, compressing the upper and lower damping springs 9 to form a reverse force, converting the impact kinetic energy into elastic potential energy. The corrugated plate 4 itself undergoes elastic deformation within the displacement range, which, in conjunction with the throttling effect of the guide hole 5, causes the damping cylinder 8 to generate ... corrugated plate 4 to generate axial displacement on the guide rod 6, compressing the upper and lower damping springs 9 to form a reverse force, converting the impact kinetic energy into elastic potential energy.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper end of the outer shell 1 is provided with a mixed gas outlet pipe 10, and the lower end of the mixed gas outlet pipe 10 is connected to the upper end of the outer shell 1. The treated syngas flows out from the mixed gas outlet pipe 10 in a stable and uniform state. The lower end of the outer shell 1 is provided with a syngas inlet pipe 11, and the upper end of the syngas inlet pipe 11 is connected to the lower end of the outer shell 1. Syngas enters the outer shell 1 through the syngas inlet pipe 11. The outer wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a medium-pressure nitrogen inlet pipe 12, and the left end of the medium-pressure nitrogen inlet pipe 12 is connected to the side wall of the outer shell 1. Medium-pressure nitrogen enters the outer shell 1 through the medium-pressure nitrogen inlet pipe 12.

[0025] When the pipeline mixer is in use, the device structure is described as follows: The pipeline mixer device of this utility model is cylindrical in shape. The outer shell 1 and the connected pipeline are connected by welding to ensure a tight connection and prevent gas leakage. The annular support ring 2 of the inner support frame is fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 1 by welding. The radial support rod 3 is connected to the annular support ring 2 by welding to form a solid support structure. Multiple sets of corrugated plates 4 are set between the two sets of support structures. The outer shell 1, as the external frame of the entire pipeline mixer, not only provides installation space for internal components, but also bears the pressure generated by the flow of syngas in the pipeline. Its high-strength corrosion-resistant material ensures long-term stable operation in the liquid nitrogen washing process environment. The annular support ring 2 of the inner support frame enhances the circumferential strength of the outer shell 1 and prevents the outer shell 1 from deforming under high pressure. The radial support rod 3 connects the annular support ring 2 together to form a stable three-dimensional support structure, which improves the pressure resistance of the entire pipeline mixer. The inner support frame provides a stable installation foundation for the corrugated plates 4, ensuring that they will not loosen or shift due to airflow impact during operation.

[0026] When the syngas enters the pipe mixer, the corrugated plate 4 uses its specific curvature and angle to guide the syngas to flow along the corrugated path, making the airflow distribution more uniform and reducing the mutual collision and friction between airflows, thereby reducing flow resistance. This pipe mixer achieves low-resistance operation through the synergistic effect of structural optimization and dynamic buffering mechanism. During normal production, the syngas enters from the pipe mixer inlet. First, under the guidance of the corrugated plate 4, the syngas passes through the pipe mixer uniformly and orderly along the corrugated path, reducing airflow turbulence and resistance.

[0027] During this process, the internal support frame ensures the structural stability of the pipeline mixer and withstands the pressure and impact force generated by the flow of syngas. When the system malfunctions and a large amount of gas is released or the production load suddenly increases, an excessive amount of syngas enters the pipeline mixer. The holes on the corrugated plate 4 will bear part of the gas flow and absorb part of the airflow impact force, reducing the impact intensity of the airflow on the internal components.

[0028] When the system experiences a sudden load change, the excess gas flow first impacts the corrugated plate 4. At this time, the damping cylinders 8 on both sides of the corrugated plate 4 generate axial displacement on the guide rod 6, compressing the upper and lower damping springs 9 to form a reverse force, converting the impact kinetic energy into elastic potential energy. The corrugated plate 4 itself undergoes elastic deformation within the displacement range. Combined with the throttling effect of the guide hole 5, the internal support frame, with its stable frame structure, further disperses and bears the remaining impact force, ensuring that the internal components such as the corrugated plate 4 will not be squeezed and deformed due to excessive force, thus reducing the instantaneous pressure peak. The treated syngas flows out from the outlet of the pipeline mixer in a stable and uniform state and enters the subsequent liquid nitrogen washing process, ensuring the stable operation of the liquid nitrogen washing system and effectively reducing system resistance. It is particularly suitable for liquid nitrogen washing process scenarios with large fluctuations in syngas processing volume. This device enhances the overall structural strength of the pipeline mixer through the internal support structure and absorbs the impact force of the excess syngas with the buffer mechanism, effectively avoiding the squeezing and deformation of the internal components under high load or emergency venting conditions, and greatly reducing the risk of syngas pipeline blockage.

[0029] Through the above steps, when the pipeline mixer is in use, during normal production, syngas enters from the inlet of the pipeline mixer. First, guided by the corrugated plate 4, the syngas flows evenly and orderly along the corrugated path through the pipeline mixer, reducing airflow turbulence and resistance. During this process, the inner support frame composed of the radial support rod 3 and the annular support ring 2 ensures the structural stability of the pipeline mixer, bearing the pressure and impact force generated by the syngas flow. When the system malfunctions and a large amount of gas is released or the production load suddenly increases, an excessive amount of syngas enters the pipeline mixer. The holes on the corrugated plate 4 will bear part of the gas flow and absorb part of the airflow impact force, reducing the impact intensity of the airflow on the internal components. Simultaneously, the inner support... With its robust frame structure, the frame further disperses and withstands the remaining impact force, ensuring that internal components such as the corrugated plate 4 are not squeezed and deformed due to excessive force. This reduces the instantaneous pressure peak, and the treated syngas flows out of the pipeline mixer outlet in a stable and uniform state, entering the subsequent liquid nitrogen washing process. This ensures the stable operation of the liquid nitrogen washing system and effectively reduces system resistance. It is particularly suitable for liquid nitrogen washing process scenarios with large fluctuations in syngas processing volume. The device enhances the overall structural strength of the pipeline mixer through the internal support structure, and, together with the buffer mechanism, absorbs the impact force of super-large volume syngas, effectively preventing the internal components from being squeezed and deformed under high load or emergency venting conditions, greatly reducing the risk of syngas pipeline blockage.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
