To the distance of distance and the heat exchanger 13 to the compressor 14 vertically of the force (forcing) pump 18 vertically
It is 3m, the distance of the flash vessel 12 to the heat exchanger 13 in the horizontal direction is 3m.
In the present invention, the source of the gas of surge tank 11 is LNG filling processes, LNG finished pots diffuse process, LNG tank cars are let out
Press through journey etc..
To sum up, above technical scheme of the present invention has advantages below:
1. present invention could apply to the recovery that LNG filling stations diffuse methane, LNG filling stations make use of to diffuse methane gas
Pressure feature, the setting of the surge tank can overcome the unstability of LNG filling station source of releases, increase the system each run
Time;The setting of the gas circulation channel makes the low temperature methane gas constantly discharged from the gas outlet of the flash vessel and pressurization
High-temperature methane gas afterwards is exchanged heat, and reduces energy loss;The setting of the liquids recovery passage enables methane liquid finished product
Be passed straight back in the finished pot, so as to avoid finished pot diffuse cause reduce fluid temperature the problem of;Furthermore this hair
Bright technological process is simple, can make skid integral type, investment and operation small power consumption, and recovery product is that liquefied natural gas can be just
Ground is sold, and reduces methane recovery power consumption, therefore the efficiency for not only reclaiming methane gas increases substantially, and reduces installation and dimension
Protect cost.
2. pressure-reducing valve is provided between surge tank of the present invention and the flash vessel, so that one can be entered after methane gas decompression
Step reduces temperature, is advantageous to separation of the methane gas in the flash vessel so as to obtain more methane liquid;The flash vessel and
Force (forcing) pump is provided between the finished pot, is advantageous to the methane liquid stream and enters in the finished pot, be easy to recycle;The pressure
The exit of contracting machine is provided with water cooling system, is advantageous to cool to high pressure methane gas, is easy to reduce required during follow-up heat exchange
The energy wanted.
3. pressure-reducing valve of the present invention is provided with the pressure monitoring device for controlling the pressure-reducing valve and compressor to open, described
Pressure-detecting device can carry out interlocked control to the motor switch of the pressure-reducing valve and the compressor, be advantageous to extend system
System separate run times;Device for detecting temperature, the temperature are provided with the flash vessel exit and the compressor inlet duct
Spend monitoring device to be used to carry out interlocked control to the motor of the pressure-reducing valve and the compressor, be advantageous to monitor the heat exchange
Device and the compressor whether normal operation, not only can effective monitoring running situation, and essential safety can be accomplished;It is described
Flash vessel is provided with liquid level detection device, liquid level self-adjusting valve is provided between the force (forcing) pump and the finished pot, when the flash vessel
After the interior methane gas is separated into methane liquid, liquid level detection device is opened, to motor switch on the force (forcing) pump and the liquid
Position self-adjusting valve carries out interlocked control, so as to be advantageous to extend the separate run times of the force (forcing) pump, avoids the flash vessel from expiring
Liquid note the problem of not entering gas or liquid level too low the problem of causing gas to seal in the force (forcing) pump.
4. in methane gas recovery method of the present invention, low temperature methane gas that the gas outlet of the flash vessel is constantly discharged with
High-temperature methane gas after pressurization is exchanged heat, and energy loss can be made small, avoid energy waste, reduce recovery power consumption;Institute
Stating methane liquid finished product can be passed straight back in the finished pot, and recovery process is simple, and cost is low, and reclaim product as liquefaction day
Right gas can be with market goods locally.
5. methane gas recycling and control method of the present invention, in order to improve the automatic recovery of methane gas, the flash vessel goes out
Be provided with device for detecting temperature at mouthful place and the compressor inlet duct, the device for detecting temperature for the pressure-reducing valve with
And the motor of the compressor carries out interlocked control, be advantageous to monitor the heat exchanger and the compressor whether normal operation,
Not only can effective monitoring running situation, and essential safety can be accomplished.
Obviously, above-described embodiment is only intended to clearly illustrate example, not to the restriction of embodiment.For
For those of ordinary skill in the art, other various forms of changes or change can also be made on the basis of the above description
It is dynamic.There is no necessity and possibility to exhaust all the enbodiments.And the obvious change or change thus extended out
Move still in the protection domain of the invention.
