With the development of natural gas treatment technology and the development of natural gas efficient utilization technology, the ethane recovery capacity in natural gas is continuously improved, and long-distance transportation technology thereof is urgently needed to be vigorously developed. Ethane products, which are lighter in molar mass as a natural gas byproduct, have a higher saturated vapor pressure, a critical temperature of about 32 ℃ and a critical pressure of about 4.5MPa, and therefore are transported in a single phase in a gas phase or liquid phase under certain conditions. Compared with a gaseous ethane pipeline conveying mode, the liquid conveying mode has the remarkable characteristics of small pipe diameter and high conveying efficiency, and is suitable for large-scale and pipe network conveying of ethane products.
In order to ensure that the pipeline is convenient to maintain and overhaul in a segmented manner and reduce the release amount in the maintenance and inspection process, the valve chambers are required to be arranged on long-distance pipelines.

For liquid ethane, the liquid ethane has higher latent heat of vaporization and Joule-Thompson effect, after a liquid phase medium in a pipeline is quickly decompressed to atmospheric pressure, the downstream adiabatic relief temperature can reach-80 ℃, and the inside of the pipeline can possibly have a working condition lower than-40 ℃ due to decompression, so that the influence of medium phase change and decompression in the decompression process on the long-distance pipeline body and the emptying system material must be considered in the relief process of a valve chamber, and the safety of the system under the low-temperature working condition is ensured; meanwhile, the molar mass of the liquid ethane is about 30g/mol, the liquid ethane is slightly heavier than air, and after the liquid ethane is released to the atmosphere, the problems of large-range suspension, low-position accumulation and the like occur, and a proper emptying medium treatment mode must be considered.
