Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid tanker sampling technology, specifically to a closed sampling and recovery system for easily vaporized liquid tankers. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, during the production and transportation processes of petrochemical production facilities, tank trucks transporting liquids or volatile media (such as oil, liquefied gas, and chemicals) require quality testing through sampling ports. Traditional sampling methods have the following problems:
[0003] 1. Medium volatilization: Direct venting during sampling allows harmful gases (such as VOCs) to escape, polluting the environment and endangering the health of operators.
[0004] 2. Residual leakage: Residual liquid drips from the pipeline after sampling, resulting in material waste and contamination.
[0005] 3. Safety hazards: Flammable and explosive media may cause combustion and explosion risks when exposed to air.
[0006] In existing technologies, some solutions use simple sealing caps or drainage tubes, but these cannot completely solve the problems of safe media recovery and automated control. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-efficiency, fully enclosed sampling and recovery system. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the sampling cylinder is connected to a first quick connector and a second quick connector on its front and rear pipelines, respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a third pipeline, on which a second gate valve is provided. One end of the third pipeline is connected to the pipeline between the first check valve and the first quick connector, and the other end is connected to the pipeline between the second quick connector and the second check valve.

[0018] Example:
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a closed sampling and recovery system for easily vaporized liquids in a tank truck includes a tank truck. The unloading port of the tank truck is connected to a double-sealed quick connector 2. The double-sealed quick connector 2 is connected to an automated control valve 4 via a second pipeline P2. An automated gate valve 3 is installed on the second pipeline P2. The automated control valve 4 is connected to a nitrogen pipeline P1, a fourth pipeline P4, and a fifth pipeline P5. The fifth pipeline P5 is connected to a spherical tank 14. A first one-way valve 5, a sampling cylinder 7, a second one-way valve 9, a flow sensor 10, a content detection sensor 11, a compressor 12, and a gas holder 13 are sequentially connected to the fourth pipeline P4. The gas holder 13 is connected to a boiler combustion system. A first gate valve 15 is installed between the content detection sensor 11 and the compressor 12. The sampling cylinder 7 is supported by a retractable support frame 17.
[0020] The sampling cylinder 7 is connected to a first quick connector 6 and a second quick connector 8 on its front and rear pipelines, respectively. The sampling and recovery system also includes a third pipeline P3, on which a second gate valve 16 is provided. One end of the third pipeline P3 is connected to the pipeline between the first one-way valve 5 and the first quick connector 6, and the other end is connected to the pipeline between the second quick connector 8 and the second one-way valve 9.
[0021] Workflow:
[0022] (1) System docking: After the tanker arrives, dock the double-sealed quick connector 2, install the sampling cylinder 7 through the first quick connector 6 and the second quick connector 8, open the valves at both ends of the sampling cylinder 7, adjust the telescopic support frame 17 to eliminate the stress of the quick connector, open the vehicle gate valve 1, and personnel maintain a safe distance while waiting.
[0023] (2) Nitrogen purging: Start the automated operation. The automated control valve 4 connects the nitrogen pipeline P1 and the fourth pipeline P4. At this moment, the second gate valve 16 is closed and the first gate valve 15 is open. Nitrogen purges the sampling cylinder 7. When the content detection sensor 11 detects that the oxygen content is 0% and the nitrogen content is 100%, the automated control valve 4 rotates the valve position to connect the second pipeline P2 and the fourth pipeline P4.
[0024] (3) Sampling process: After the automatic control valve 4 connects the second pipeline P2 and the fourth pipeline P4, the automatic gate valve 3 automatically opens, and the automatic control valve 4 connects to the fourth pipeline P4 to start the sampling operation. The gas passes through the sampling cylinder 7 and subsequent pipelines, through the flow sensor 10, the content detection sensor 11, the first gate valve 15, and the compressor 12, and enters the gas holder 13 for storage and automatic recovery. It is then incinerated and utilized by the boiler incineration system. When the flow sensor 10 exceeds the preset threshold of 2L, the automatic gate valve 3 and the first gate valve 15 are automatically closed, and the operator intervenes to close the gate valves at both ends of the sampling cylinder 7. If the oxygen content is detected to be >0.5% or the flow is abnormal, the system automatically triggers the emergency shutdown procedure, immediately closes the automatic gate valve 3, stops sampling, and alarms.
[0025] (4) The system repeats nitrogen purging. After sampling is completed, the automatic gate valve 3 is closed, the valves at both ends of the sampling cylinder 7 are closed, the automatic control valve 4 connects the nitrogen pipeline P1 and the fourth pipeline P4, the second gate valve 16 is opened, and the nitrogen content is detected by the content detection sensor 11 to be 100%. Then the first gate valve 15 and the second gate valve 16 are closed.
[0026] (5) The operator intervenes to disconnect the first quick connector 6 and the second quick connector 8, and removes the sampling cylinder 7 for testing.
[0027] (6) After the sample is tested and found to be qualified, the automatic control valve 4 connects the second pipeline P2 and the fifth pipeline P5, and the automatic gate valve 3 is opened to carry out the unloading operation.
