Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a gas storage tank is used for emergency gas supply, then the gas supply capacity is improved, but the reliability deteriorates when gas storage is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the gas supply function into multiple components: gas storage tank, gas pipeline network connection, pressure regulating device, and gasification device. This segmentation allows flexible combination of different gas sources (storage tank or pipeline network) to ensure reliable emergency supply even when one source is insufficient.
Solution Approach 2:
The emergency gas supply device is designed with multi-functionality to perform both gas storage and gas pipeline network connection functions. The device can switch between different gas sources (storage tank direct supply or pipeline network crossover), ensuring reliable emergency supply regardless of gas storage levels.
2Device complexity
If fixed emergency gas supply plans are used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability deteriorates in responding to actual gas demands
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic gas supply plans that can adjust in real-time based on actual gas demands and pipeline network status. The control module dynamically determines operating parameters of pressure regulating and gasification devices, and switches between different gas sources as needed, rather than using fixed predetermined plans.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the control module continuously monitors gas demands and pipeline network status, then adjusts operating parameters and gas source selection accordingly. This feedback loop enables adaptive response to changing conditions while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated control.
3Extent of automation
If manual operation is used for gas emergency supply, then the automation level is reduced, but the operational cost increases due to inefficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service through automated control where the control module automatically determines operating parameters of pressure regulating and gasification devices based on gas demands and supply plans. This automation eliminates manual intervention, improves operational efficiency, and reduces energy loss associated with manual operations.
