LNG intelligent control valve operation diagnosis and optimization decision-making system based on big data

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of liquefied natural gas technology, and in particular relates to an LNG intelligent control valve operation diagnosis and optimization decision-making system based on big data. Background Technology

[0002] Liquefied natural gas (LNG), as a crucial component of clean energy, requires highly precise control valves during transportation and storage to ensure system safety and stability. However, existing valve control systems generally lack intelligent fault warning and maintenance decision-making capabilities, leading to delayed responses to equipment malfunctions and even serious safety hazards. Therefore, maintenance and inspection methods are needed to monitor the status of control valves.

[0003] Current fault detection methods are usually based on manual or simple automated detection, which have long response times, low efficiency, and cannot guarantee detection accuracy. In order to solve this problem, there is an urgent need for an LNG intelligent control valve operation diagnosis and optimization decision-making system based on big data. Technical issues

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of current fault detection methods, which are usually based on manual or simple automated detection, resulting in long response times, low efficiency, and unreliable detection accuracy.
