Example 1
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a low-temperature single-tank full vacuum air-liquid separator includes a first air return pipeline 1, a second air return pipeline 2, a main pipeline 3, a first liquid inlet pipeline 4, a second liquid inlet pipeline 5 and a pneumatic valve 6; the first air return pipeline 1 and the second air return pipeline 2 are symmetrically arranged at the upper end part of the main pipeline 3, the first liquid inlet pipeline 4 and the second liquid inlet pipeline 5 are symmetrically arranged at the lower end part of the main pipeline 3, and the first liquid inlet pipeline 4 and the second liquid inlet pipeline 5 are symmetrically arranged at the lower end part of the main pipeline 3; the pneumatic valves 6 are obliquely arranged on the first air return pipeline 1 and the second air return pipeline 2 respectively;
the first gas return pipeline 1 is matched with the first liquid inlet pipeline 4 in position, and the second gas return pipeline 2 is matched with the second liquid inlet pipeline 5 in position.
Based on the setting, with first return air pipeline 1 and first liquid inlet pipeline 4 respectively with the return-air mouth and the inlet through connection of plunger pump when using, with second return air pipeline 2 and second liquid inlet pipeline 5 respectively with the return-air mouth and the inlet through connection of another plunger pump, the plunger pump is the piston pump that prior art was used commonly, through the return-air mouth with the plunger pump with the inlet respectively with the first end connection of this device, makes liquid follow the output of liquid outlet pressurization.
However, in the prior art, as shown in fig. 3, when the plunger pump returns air, the air-liquid two-phase material enters the air-operated valve 6 from the air return port, and the liquid natural temperature is low, usually tens of degrees celsius below zero, while the valve internal sealing structure of the air-operated valve 6 is a high-inlet low-outlet structure, the high-inlet end 12 of the air-operated valve 6 is connected with the high-pressure end, and the low-outlet end 11 of the air-operated valve 6 is communicated with the plunger pump through a pipeline;
when the plunger pump returns air, the gas-liquid mixed medium is filled into the low inlet end of the pneumatic valve 6, the gas-liquid mixed medium impacts with the inner pipe wall of the plunger pump to force the gas-liquid mixed medium to flow in a downward turning mode, so that a local lower U-shaped channel is formed in the air returning process, low-temperature liquid substances are accumulated in the U-shaped channel to cause liquid seal, the air returning of the plunger pump is not smooth, the plunger pump returning efficiency is further influenced, the plunger pump cannot be normally started, and the problem is a common problem in the industry.
To above-mentioned problem, the solution of the majority, be provided with manual valve or pneumatic valve alone on plunger pump return air pipeline, when the plunger pump takes place the return air not smooth, through opening manual valve or pneumatic valve, discharge the medium outward, make pipeline intercommunication atmospheric pressure, it is unobstructed to make intraductal return air, such a way, can externally discharge the natural gas medium, the discharge of long-time many times also can cause great waste to the natural gas, to this not carrying out the improvement, still will be permanent extravagant, this is not conform to the principle of national energy-concerving and environment-protective, also bring unnecessary economic loss for the customer.
For convenience of describing the liquid seal situation, please refer to fig. 4 and 5, a pipe bent into a U shape is taken as an example, a mixed medium enters one end of a U-shaped pipe from one end of the pipe, and a liquid seal is formed by a liquid substance in a lower U-shaped structure due to a low temperature of the mixed medium, at this time, the mixed medium needs a great air pressure to pass through a liquid seal surface, and the inventor's idea is to gradually rotate a vertically arranged U-shaped pipe horizontally with a liquid flowing direction as an axis, so that the vertical U-shaped pipe gradually tends to be horizontal and is horizontal in a limit state;
in the limit state, the liquid deposited at the turning part is always positioned at the lower end part of the whole pipeline under the action of gravity, and an air return channel is reserved at the upper end part of the whole pipeline; when the U-shaped pipeline is gradually changed from vertical to horizontal, the height position of the deposition liquid level is gradually reduced, and along with the gradual reduction of the height of the deposition liquid level, the air pressure required by air return to penetrate through the liquid surface is gradually reduced, so that the air return is smoother and smaller compared with the vertical U-shaped pipeline.
Based on the principle, when the pneumatic valve 6 is combined and applied, please refer to fig. 3, when the low outlet end 11 of the pneumatic valve 6 is connected with the air return end of the plunger pump, the high inlet end 12 of the pneumatic valve 6 is communicated with the top of the storage tank through a pipeline; when the plunger pump returns air, the air flow enters the position of the low outlet end 11 of the pneumatic valve 6 from the pipeline, the air flow changes the flow direction downwards due to the blocking of the air flow and the pipe wall at the upper end part of the low outlet end 11, when the pneumatic valve 6 core acts to open the valve 13, the air and mixed medium air flow passes through the valve 13 again to flow upwards, and finally flows to the top position of the storage tank;
at this time, the gas-liquid mixed medium flows in the whole from the low outlet end 11 to the high inlet end 12 of the air-operated valve 6, as shown in fig. 3; and a lower U-shaped air flow is formed, because the liquid part in the mixed air flow is low-temperature liquefied natural gas, the temperature is usually minus dozens of degrees centigrade, when the mixed medium flows along the lower U-shaped flow direction, the liquefied natural gas can be accumulated at the low inlet end of the pneumatic valve 6, a liquid seal can be quickly formed, the air return of the plunger pump is not smooth, and the pneumatic performance of the plunger pump is influenced.
Along with the principle of the U-shaped pipeline, the original vertical arrangement of the pneumatic valve 6 is changed into the arrangement of deflecting a certain angle, and the deflecting angle ranges from 15 degrees to 30 degrees;
although, according to the theory of the aforementioned U-shaped pipeline, the larger the angle of the pneumatic valve 6 deflecting to the horizontal direction is, the lower the height of the deposition liquid level is, and the smaller the pressure required for air return at this time is, theoretically, the most unobstructed the air return is when the pneumatic valve 6 deflects to the horizontal direction; however, the inventor has found that, after many experiments in reality, when the deflection angle of the air-operated valve 6 is larger, the degree of condensation and frost formation on the air-operated valve 6 is higher, which affects the operation of the air-operated valve 6 and also impairs the service life of the air-operated valve 6;
through the continuous trial and test of the inventor, the frosting degree is small and the air return is smooth when the deflection angle is 15-30 degrees, and especially when the deflection angle is 15 degrees, the effect is optimal.
A four-way pipe 7 is arranged at the intersection of the first air return pipeline 1, the second air return pipeline 2 and the main pipeline 3, the upper parts of the first air return pipeline 1, the second air return pipeline 2 and the main pipeline 3 are converged, a first output pipe 10 is connected to the four-way pipe 7, the first output pipe 10 is communicated with the top of an external storage tank, and converged gas is discharged to the top of the storage tank through the first output pipe 10;
a first input pipe 8 is arranged on the main pipeline, the first input pipe 8 is communicated with the storage tank, the liquid natural gas in the storage tank is output to the plunger pump through the first input pipe 8, and the liquid natural gas is pressurized by the plunger pump and then is output outwards;
and manual valves 9 are arranged at corresponding positions of the first liquid inlet pipeline 4 and the second liquid inlet pipeline 5, the manual valves 9 are arranged in an inclined mode, the inclined angle of the manual valves 9 is the same as that of the air-operated valve 6, and the inclined angle is 15-30 degrees.
Can overhaul the plunger pump through manual valve 9, when single plunger pump broke down, can be accurate carry out artificial closure with the trouble place pipeline, reduced the system malfunction and to the wrong control of pipeline, guaranteed the security of maintenance.
In the prior art, although a whole set of control system is often adopted to control the opening or closing of the pipeline, so that the pipeline is more intelligent, the whole systematic control is easy to cause misoperation in a complex environment, particularly, the liquid is pumped in a liquid inlet pipeline to minus dozens of degrees of cryogenic liquid, so that electronic devices are influenced to a certain degree, particularly, when the pipeline needs to be opened for maintenance, partial devices are usually abnormal in function, and at the moment, the pipeline is systematically controlled to be opened and closed, so that the risk of misoperation is great. The liquid in the pipeline is cryogenic liquid with the temperature of minus dozens of facilities, and the cryogenic liquid directly contacts the human body, so that the human body is greatly injured, and the maintenance risk of maintainers is increased.
The diameters of the first liquid inlet pipe and the second liquid inlet pipe are matched, and the diameters of the first air return pipe and the second air return pipe are matched; the size of the first liquid inlet pipe is not smaller than the diameter of the first gas return pipe.
The novel structure adopts the design theory of single jar to the design of double pump, according to LNG physical characteristic, has improved LNG liquid source quality greatly. The plunger pump gas return pipeline and the gas-liquid separator gas return pipeline are independently arranged on the top, the terminals are gathered, gas return is not interfered with each other, the gas return efficiency in the operation process of the plunger pump is greatly improved, the technical problem that the gas return of the plunger pump is not smooth is fundamentally solved, and the normal starting of the plunger pump can be realized with zero emission.

In the process, the manual valve 9 is designed on an LNG liquid phase pipeline, and the pneumatic valve 6 is designed on a gas phase pipeline, so that potential safety hazards in the process of plunger pump maintenance are avoided. The gas-liquid separator adopts an integral and full-vacuum design, improves the hoisting, transporting and assembling efficiency, reduces the extended-range cold loss of the low-temperature meson, and improves the energy utilization rate.
The utility model provides a safe use method of full vacuum gas-liquid separator of low temperature single jar, its concrete step is as follows:
