Description

[0050] The gas supply unit 10 also includes multiple vaporizers, including a nitrogen vaporizer 26, a first argon vaporizer 27, an oxygen vaporizer 28, and a second argon vaporizer 29.

[0051] A nitrogen vaporizer 26 is provided between the liquid nitrogen storage tank 1 and the nitrogen gas storage tank 2. The nitrogen vaporizer 26 is connected to the liquid nitrogen storage tank 1 and the nitrogen gas storage tank 2 respectively through a metal hose 18. It is used to vaporize the liquid nitrogen output from the liquid nitrogen storage tank 1 into gaseous nitrogen and transport it to the nitrogen gas storage tank 2 for storage.

[0052] A first argon vaporizer 27 is installed between the liquid argon storage tank 4 and the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9. The first argon vaporizer 27 is connected to the liquid argon storage tank 4 and the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9 respectively through a metal hose 18. The first argon vaporizer 27 vaporizes the liquid argon output from the liquid argon storage tank 4 into gaseous argon and delivers it to the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9 for oxygen-argon mixing.

[0053] An oxygen vaporizer 28 is installed between the liquid oxygen storage tank 7 and the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9. The oxygen vaporizer 28 is connected to the liquid oxygen storage tank 7 and the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9 respectively through a metal hose 18. The oxygen vaporizer 28 vaporizes the liquid oxygen output from the liquid oxygen storage tank 7 into gaseous oxygen and delivers it to the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9 to mix with argon gas. The oxygen-argon ratio of the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9 is 2:98. The mixed oxygen-argon gas is delivered to the oxygen-argon gas storage tank 11 through the metal hose 18 for storage.

[0054] A second argon vaporizer 29 is installed between the liquid argon storage tank 4 and the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14. The second argon vaporizer 29 is connected to the liquid argon storage tank 4 and the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14 respectively through a metal hose 18. The second argon vaporizer 29 is used to vaporize liquid argon into gaseous argon and transport it to the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14 to mix with hydrogen. The hydrogen-argon ratio in the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14 is 2:98. The mixed hydrogen-argon gas is transported to the hydrogen-argon gas storage tank 15 through the metal hose 18 for storage.

[0055] In this embodiment, the liquid oxygen storage tank 7 and the oxygen buffer tank 8, as well as the liquid oxygen storage tank 7 and the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9, share an oxygen vaporizer 28. The oxygen vaporizer 28 is connected to the liquid oxygen storage tank 7, the oxygen buffer tank 8 and the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9 through three metal hoses. The oxygen vaporizer 28 vaporizes the liquid oxygen output from the liquid oxygen storage tank 7 into gaseous oxygen and then delivers it to the oxygen buffer tank 8 and the oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9, which effectively saves energy and reduces the floor space.

[0056] The liquid argon storage tank 4 and the argon gas storage tank 5, as well as the liquid argon storage tank 4 and the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14, share a second argon vaporizer 29. The second argon vaporizer 29 is connected to the liquid argon storage tank 4, the argon gas storage tank 5 and the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14 respectively through three metal hoses 18. The second argon vaporizer 29 vaporizes the liquid argon output from the liquid argon storage tank 4 into gaseous argon and then delivers it to the argon gas storage tank 5 and the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14 respectively, saving energy and equipment floor space.

[0057] Each vaporizer has a vaporization capacity of 100 m³ / h to meet the gas consumption of multiple gas-using terminals. Furthermore, all vaporizers in this application are air-bath type vaporizers, which have high vaporization efficiency and save energy.

[0058] like Figure 2As shown, each of the nitrogen storage tank 2, oxygen-argon mixed gas storage tank 11, hydrogen-argon mixed gas storage tank 15, and argon storage tank 5 is equipped with a pressure gauge 31, a displacement vent valve 32, and a drain valve 33. Each pressure gauge 31 is used to monitor the internal pressure of its corresponding storage tank in real time. The displacement vent valve 32 is installed at the top of each tank and is used to safely and effectively discharge the existing gas in the tank during initial filling or when the gas needs to be replaced, ensuring the purity of the gas inside. It can also be opened during filling to release pressure. The drain valve 33 is installed at the bottom of each tank. Each pressure gauge 31 is connected to the corresponding displacement vent valve 32 and the vaporizer upstream of the corresponding storage tank. When the pressure gauge 31 detects that the pressure inside the corresponding storage tank is too high, it transmits a signal to the upstream vaporizer and the corresponding displacement vent valve 32. The upstream vaporizer stops working to stop supplying gas to the storage tank, and the displacement vent valve opens to release pressure, ensuring safety during the gas supply process.

[0059] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 1 Liquid nitrogen in liquid nitrogen storage tank 1 is vaporized into nitrogen gas in connected nitrogen vaporizer 26. The nitrogen gas is then transported to nitrogen storage tank 2 for storage, and a portion of the nitrogen gas is transported to nitrogen buffer tank 3 to stabilize the pressure when supplying gas to the gas-using terminal. When the cryogenic shut-off valve 25 at nitrogen supply point 34 is opened, the nitrogen gas in nitrogen buffer tank 3 is transported from each of the opened nitrogen supply points 34 to the first gas shielded welding machine 19, the second gas shielded welding machine 21, and the plasma welding machine 22, respectively, and the nitrogen gas is used as the shielded gas.

[0060] Liquid argon in liquid argon storage tank 4 is vaporized into argon gas in the connected first argon vaporizer 27 and then transported to oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9. Liquid oxygen in liquid oxygen storage tank 7 is vaporized into oxygen in the connected oxygen vaporizer 28. Part of the oxygen is transported to oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9, and the other part is transported to oxygen buffer tank 8. Oxygen-argon mixing cabinet 9 mixes oxygen and argon gas at a ratio of 2:98. The mixed oxygen-argon gas is stored in oxygen-argon gas storage tank 11, and part of the mixed oxygen-argon gas is transported to oxygen-argon gas buffer tank 12. When the cryogenic shut-off valve 25 at oxygen-argon gas supply point 38 is opened, oxygen-argon gas buffer tank 12 supplies oxygen-argon gas to the first gas-shielded welding machine 19 as welding gas for welding.

[0061] Liquid argon in liquid argon storage tank 4 enters the second argon vaporizer 29 and is vaporized into argon gas. Part of the vaporized argon gas is transported to the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14, and the other part enters the argon storage tank 5. Hydrogen gas in hydrogen cylinder 13 is introduced into the hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14 through metal hose 18. The hydrogen-argon mixing cabinet 14 mixes hydrogen and argon gas at a ratio of 2:98. The mixed hydrogen-argon gas enters the hydrogen-argon gas storage tank 15 for storage. Part of the mixed hydrogen-argon gas enters the hydrogen-argon gas buffer tank 16. When the cryogenic shut-off valve 25 at the hydrogen-argon gas supply point 39 is opened, the hydrogen-argon gas buffer tank 16 provides hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas to the second gas shielded welding machine 21 as welding gas for welding.

[0062] Argon gas in argon gas storage tank 5 enters argon gas buffer tank 6. When the cryogenic shut-off valve 25 at argon gas supply point 36 is opened, argon gas buffer tank 6 supplies argon gas to plasma welding machine 22 and argon arc welding machine 23 as welding gas for welding.

[0063] When the cryogenic shut-off valve 25 at the oxygen supply point 35 is opened, the oxygen buffer tank 8 supplies oxygen to the silver brazing machine 24; when the cryogenic shut-off valve at the propane supply point 37 is opened, the propane cylinder 17 supplies propane to the silver brazing machine 24. Oxygen and propane are used as welding gases for the silver brazing machine 24 to perform welding.
