Description

Device and method for testing liquefaction rate of low-temperature gas liquefaction device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of performance detection of low-temperature engineering equipment products, and particularly relates to a device and a method for testing the liquefaction rate of a low-temperature gas liquefaction device.
Background
Helium, neon, hydrogen, natural gas and other gases are essential industrial gases and energy gases in national economic development. These gases are generally stored and transported on a large scale in the form of cryogenic liquefied gases.
A cryogenic gas liquefaction plant (hereinafter referred to as a liquefaction plant) is an important chemical plant for cooling and liquefying cryogenic gas from room temperature. The liquefaction rate is an important technical index of the product of the liquefaction device, and is defined as the mass of gas which can be liquefied by the liquefaction device in unit time. The conventional method for measuring the liquefaction rate of a liquefaction device is to introduce low-temperature gas into the liquefaction device, then convey the liquefied low-temperature liquefied gas product into a low-temperature container, and calculate the average liquefaction rate by measuring the liquid amount in the low-temperature container within a certain time. This conventional method is suitable for deployment of the liquefaction plant after it is installed in place at the customer site.
However, for a standardized liquefaction device product produced in large quantities, the liquefaction rate test must be performed in a manufacturing factory after the product is off-line, which is a quality detection process necessary for standardized products, and not only can ensure the quality reliability and consistency of the product when delivered from a factory, but also can replace the test in a customer site with a standardized test process performed in a factory, thereby reducing the test cost. Standardized liquefaction plant products are not suitable for testing at liquefaction plant product manufacturing plants using conventional liquefaction rate testing methods because such methods suffer from the following disadvantages:
the traditional liquefaction rate testing method is an open flow, in order to ensure the test for a certain time, a large enough low-temperature container is additionally arranged to store a large amount of low-temperature liquefied gas generated by the test, the cost of the large low-temperature container is high (especially the low-temperature containers of hydrogen and helium), and the investment of a manufacturing factory is greatly increased;
for the mass storage of combustible and explosive gases such as hydrogen, natural gas and the like, higher requirements of land occupation, fire protection, safety protection and the like are put forward for a storage site, and the investment (land, fire protection and safety facilities) and operation (personnel, training, inspection and supervision) cost of a manufacturing factory are greatly increased;
the manufacturing plant lacks a large amount of ways for consuming low-temperature liquefied gas, the traditional liquefaction rate testing method only can be used for emptying liquefied gas, certain safety risks exist for flammable and explosive gases such as hydrogen, natural gas and the like in an emptying mode, and obviously higher software and hardware requirements are provided for the safety design and operation of the manufacturing plant; for noble gases such as helium and neon, the gas consumed by the test will be the cost of the test and greatly increase the cost of the test.
Therefore, there is a need for a low-cost, high-safety liquefaction amount testing method and apparatus that can be implemented in equipment manufacturing plants for mass-produced standardized liquefaction apparatus products.
