Description

  The present invention relates to a pressure reducing valve through which a fluid such as high-temperature exhaust gas flows.

  Conventionally, as this type of pressure reducing valve, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a cylindrical body 103 having an inlet 101 and an outlet 102, an orifice device 104 provided in the body 103, and a body 103 And a heat-insulating lining material 105 provided on the inner peripheral surface.

  The orifice device 104 has an orifice plate 106 and a variable orifice 107. The orifice plate 106 is a circular plate having an opening at the center, and has a plurality of flow holes 108. A butterfly valve is used for the variable orifice 107, and the variable orifice 107 is provided on the downstream side of the orifice plate 106.

An annular seat plate 110 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the body 103 over the entire circumference. The orifice plate 106 is connected to the seat plate 110 by a plurality of bolts and nuts 111.
According to this, the high temperature exhaust gas 116 flows into the body 103 from the inlet 101 of the pressure reducing valve 114 through the slide valve 115, passes through the flow hole 108 and the variable orifice 107 of the orifice plate 106, and then flows into the outlet. Out of 102. Thereby, the exhaust gas 116 is decompressed.

  A high-temperature slide valve (not shown) is installed on the upstream side of the pressure reducing valve 114 as described above via a pipe 115 having an appropriate length. It is described in the following Patent Document 1.

2-66770

  However, in the above conventional type, the orifice plate 106 is heated to a high temperature by the heat of the exhaust gas 116, and the heat of the orifice plate 106 is transmitted to the body 103 through the seat plate 110, bolts, and nuts 111, and a part B of the body 103 is transferred to other parts. The temperature is locally higher than that of the portion, and a portion B of the body 103 is thermally expanded in the radial direction.

  On the other hand, the thermal expansion amount of the heat insulating lining material 105 is smaller than the thermal expansion amount of the body 103. Therefore, as shown in FIG. A minute gap 117 is generated, and a part of the high-temperature exhaust gas 116 flowing in the body 103 is a boundary portion 118 between the orifice plate 106 and the heat insulating lining material 105, and a boundary portion between the seat plate 110 and the heat insulating lining material 105. 119 and the gap between the orifice plate 106 and the seat plate 110 and the like, and enters the gap 117.

  As a result, the hot spots of the body 103 gradually increase, and when the flow of the hot exhaust gas 116 occurs in the gap 117, the inner surface of the body 103 is worn by the flow of the exhaust gas 116, and the body 103 is damaged. .

  An object of the present invention is to provide a pressure reducing valve that can prevent damage to a body.

In order to achieve the above object, the first invention is a pressure reducing valve through which a high-temperature fluid flows,
A cylindrical body having an inlet and an outlet, an orifice device and an inner cylinder provided in the body, and a heat insulating material provided on the inner surface of the body;
The orifice device has an orifice plate,
The inlet side end of the inner cylinder is attached to the inlet side end of the body,
An orifice plate is attached to the outlet side end of the inner cylinder,
The inner cylinder has a truncated cone shape whose outlet side has a smaller diameter than the inlet side, and is embedded in a heat insulating material.

  According to this, the high-temperature fluid that has flowed into the body from the inlet is decompressed by the orifice device and flows out from the outlet. At this time, the orifice plate is heated to a high temperature by the heat of the high-temperature fluid, and the heat of the orifice plate is transmitted to the body through the inner cylinder. As a result, the length of the heat transfer path until the heat of the orifice plate is transferred to the body is longer than before, and the inner cylinder is embedded in the heat insulating material, so that the temperature of the inlet side end of the inner cylinder is reduced. It is significantly lower than the temperature at the outlet end.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent a part of the body from locally becoming hotter than other parts, and it is possible to prevent a minute gap from being generated between a part of the body and the heat insulating material. It is possible to prevent the inner surface of the body from being worn and damaged by a high-temperature fluid.

  In the pressure reducing valve according to the second aspect of the present invention, the heat insulating material is located on the outlet side of the orifice plate from the region on the inlet side of the orifice plate through the region between the outer periphery of the orifice plate and the inner periphery of the body. It is provided continuously in the flow direction over the region.

  According to this, the heat insulating material is divided into the region on the inlet side and the region on the outlet side across the orifice plate, and from the region on the inlet side to the region on the outlet side than the orifice plate, It is provided continuously in the flow direction. As a result, the heat insulation effect is improved, and the temperature at the inlet side end of the inner cylinder is significantly lower than the temperature at the outlet side end, so that part of the body is locally hotter than other parts. Can be prevented.

In the pressure reducing valve in the third invention, the inner cylinder has a joining cylinder part made of the same material as the body, and a main body cylinder part made of a different material superior in heat resistance than the joining cylinder part,
One end of the joining cylinder is welded to the end of the body on the inlet side,
The other end of the joining cylinder part and one end of the main body cylinder part are welded,
An orifice plate is attached to the other end of the main body cylinder portion.

  According to this, the inner cylinder is formed by welding one end of the main body cylinder part and the other end of the joining cylinder part. At this time, although the material of the main body cylinder part and the material of the joining cylinder part are different, it is possible to completely melt and weld from both sides of the inner peripheral surface side and the outer peripheral surface side of the inner cylinder. The strength of can be kept high.

  Moreover, since the material of the joining cylinder part of the inner cylinder is the same as the material of the body, it is possible to easily and reliably weld one end of the joining cylinder part to the inlet side end part of the body. Thereby, an inner cylinder can be easily attached in a body.

In the pressure reducing valve in the fourth invention, the orifice device has a variable orifice,
The variable orifice has a valve box provided on the downstream side of the orifice plate, a rotatable valve body provided in the valve box, and a valve rod provided in the valve body,
The valve box is open at both ends in the flow direction,
A first valve stem insertion hole is formed through the valve box;
A second valve rod insertion hole is formed through the body,
The valve stem is inserted into the first and second valve stem insertion holes from the direction orthogonal to the flow direction,
Between the valve stem and the peripheral edge of the first valve stem insertion hole, a thermal expansion absorption margin for absorbing a difference in thermal expansion amount between the valve box and the body in the direction of the flow path axis of the body is formed. .

  According to this, the high-temperature fluid that has flowed into the body from the inlet is decompressed by the orifice device and flows out from the outlet. At this time, the pressure of the fluid to be reduced can be adjusted by rotating the valve body via the valve rod and changing the opening of the variable orifice.

  At this time, the valve box and the body are thermally expanded in the axial direction of the flow path by a high temperature fluid. Is absorbed by the thermal expansion absorption allowance. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the valve box or the body or the valve stem from being damaged due to the difference in thermal expansion between the valve box and the body.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to suppress a part of the body from becoming locally hotter than the other part, and a minute gap is generated between the part of the body and the heat insulating material. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the inner surface of the body from being worn and damaged by a high-temperature fluid.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a pressure reducing valve provided in a regeneration tower exhaust line of a fluid catalytic cracking apparatus of a gasoline production facility. An appropriate length is provided upstream of the pressure reducing valve 1. A high temperature slide valve (not shown) is connected via the pipe 2. An exhaust gas 3 having a high temperature and a high flow rate of about 800 ° C. containing an abrasive catalyst flows as an example of a high-temperature fluid through the pressure reducing valve 1 and the slide valve.

  The pressure reducing valve 1 includes a cylindrical body 7, an orifice device 8 and an inner cylinder 9 provided in the body 7, and a heat insulating lining material 10 (an example of heat insulating material) provided on the inner peripheral surface of the body 7. have.

  The body 7 has an inlet 14 at one end and an outlet 15 at the other end, and a flow path from the inlet 14 to the outlet 15 is formed inside. The material of the body 7 is carbon steel.

The orifice device 8 has an orifice plate 17 and a variable orifice 18.
The inlet side end E1 of the inner cylinder 9 is attached to the inner periphery of the end of the body 7 on the inlet 14 side, and the orifice plate 17 is attached to the outlet side end E2 of the inner cylinder 9. The inner cylinder 9 has a truncated cone shape whose outlet side has a smaller diameter than the inlet side, and is embedded in the heat insulating lining material 10.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the inner cylinder 9 includes a joining cylinder portion 9 a made of carbon steel, which is the same material as the body 7, and stainless steel having a material superior in heat resistance to the joining cylinder portion 9 a. And a main body cylinder portion 9b. One end of the joining cylinder portion 9a is welded to the inner circumference of the end portion of the body 7 on the inlet 14 side. Further, the other end of the joining cylinder portion 9a and one end of the main body cylinder portion 9b are welded all around from both sides of the inner peripheral side and the outer peripheral side by both-side butt welding.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the orifice plate 17 is a circular plate made of stainless steel with an opening at the center, and has flow holes 20 at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction. The orifice plate 17 is attached to the other end of the main body cylinder portion 9b of the inner cylinder 9 by welding.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the variable orifice 18 is a butterfly valve, and a valve box 21 provided on the downstream side of the orifice plate 17 and a rotatable valve body 22 provided in the valve box 21. And a valve stem 23 provided on the valve body 22.

The valve box 21 is a cylindrical member made of stainless steel having openings 25 and 26 on the upstream side and the downstream side.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5, the valve stem 23 penetrates the body 7 and the valve box 21 from the direction orthogonal to the flow direction A. That is, the valve box 21 has a pair of cylindrical first boss portions 28 that face each other in the axial direction of the valve stem 23. Each of the first boss portions 28 has a first valve rod insertion hole 29 penetrating the inner and outer sides of the valve box 21 and a wear-resistant lining material 41 provided on the inner peripheral surface.

  The body 7 has a pair of cylindrical second boss portions 31 facing each other in the axial direction of the valve stem 23. Both the second boss portions 31 have second valve rod insertion holes 32 penetrating on both the inner and outer sides of the body 7.

  The valve stem 23 is inserted into the first valve stem insertion holes 29 of the first boss portions 28 and the second valve rod insertion holes 32 of the second boss portions 31 and is held rotatably. The valve stem 23 has a cylindrical wear-resistant collar 42 fixed to the outer peripheral surface thereof by welding, and these collars 42 are inserted into the first valve stem insertion holes 29.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the first valve rod insertion hole 29 is a long hole in which the diameter in the direction C of the flow path axis 16 is longer than the diameter in the direction D perpendicular to the direction C. Thus, the heat between the valve box 21 and the body 7 in the direction C is between the collar 42 of the valve stem 23 and the periphery of the first valve stem insertion hole 29 (that is, the inner periphery of the wear-resistant lining material 41). A thermal expansion absorption margin 33 for absorbing the difference in expansion amount is formed. The thermal expansion absorption allowance 33 is a gap formed between the collar 42 of the valve stem 23 and the peripheral edge of the first valve stem insertion hole 29.

  As shown in FIG. 1, for example, a castable refractory is used for the heat insulating lining material 10. The heat insulating lining material 10 flows from the region 36 on the inlet 14 side (upstream side) of the orifice plate 17 through the region 37 between the outer periphery of the orifice plate 17 and the inner periphery of the body 7 and flows more than the orifice plate 17. It is provided continuously in the flow direction A over the region 38 on the outlet 15 side (downstream side).

As shown in FIG. 2, an operating device 45 that rotates the valve rod 23 by turning the handle 44 is provided outside the body 7.
Hereinafter, the operation of the above configuration will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the hot exhaust gas 3 passes through the slide valve and the pipe 2, and then flows into the body 7 from the inlet 14 of the pressure reducing valve 1, and flows through the orifice 20 and the valve box 21. It passes through the inside, is decompressed, and flows out from the outlet 15. At this time, by turning the handle 44 of the operating device 45, the valve body 22 can be rotated together with the valve rod 23 to change the opening of the variable orifice 18, so that the pressure of the exhaust gas 3 to be depressurized can be changed. It can be adjusted according to the opening of 18.

  The orifice device 8 is heated to a high temperature by the heat of the exhaust gas 3 flowing in the body 7, and the heat of the orifice plate 17 is transmitted to the body 7 through the inner cylinder 9. Thereby, the length of the heat transfer path until the heat of the orifice plate 17 is transferred to the body 7 becomes longer than before, and the inner cylinder 9 is embedded in the heat insulating lining material 10. The temperature of the side end E1 is significantly lower than the temperature of the outlet side end E2.

  Further, the heat insulating lining material 10 is not divided into the region 36 on the inlet 14 side and the region 38 on the outlet 15 side with the orifice plate 17 as a boundary, and the region 36 on the inlet 14 side of the orifice plate 17. To the region 38 on the outlet 15 side, and is provided continuously in the flow direction A. Thereby, a heat insulation effect improves and the temperature of the inlet side edge part E1 of the inner cylinder 9 falls significantly rather than the temperature of the outlet side edge part E2.

  From the above, it is possible to prevent a part of the body 7 from locally becoming hotter than other parts, and a minute gap is generated between a part of the body 7 and the heat insulating lining material 10. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the inner surface of the body 7 from being worn and damaged by the exhaust gas 3.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, since the thermal expansion absorption allowance 33 is formed between the collar 42 of the valve stem 23 and the peripheral edge of the first valve stem insertion hole 29, the first of the valve box 21. The boss portion 28 can be displaced in the direction C of the flow path axis 16 with respect to the valve rod 23. Therefore, when the body 7 and the valve box 21 are thermally expanded in the direction C by the high-temperature exhaust gas 3, if there is a difference between the thermal expansion amount of the body 7 and the thermal expansion amount of the valve box 21, the thermal expansion amount of the two Is absorbed by the thermal expansion absorption margin 33.

  For example, when FIG. 6A is in a state before thermal expansion and the body 7 and the valve box 21 are heated by the exhaust gas 3 and thermally expanded in the flow direction A, the amount of thermal expansion of the body 7 is L1, and the valve box When the thermal expansion amount of the valve body 21 is L2, the valve box 21 is hotter than the body 7, so the thermal expansion volume L2 of the valve box 21 is larger than the thermal expansion volume L1 of the body 7, and the body 7 and the valve box 21 There may be a difference L3 (L3 = L2−L1) between the thermal expansion amounts L1 and L2. According to the difference L3 between the thermal expansion amounts L1 and L2, as shown in FIG. 6B, the first boss portion 28 of the valve box 21 changes the thermal expansion absorption margin 33 with respect to the valve stem 23 by the above difference. It is displaced in the flow direction A by a distance of L3. Thereby, the difference L3 between the thermal expansion amounts L1 and L2 of the two is absorbed by the thermal expansion absorption allowance 33, and the body 7 or the valve box 21 or the valve is determined by the difference L3 between the thermal expansion amounts L1 and L2 between the body 7 and the valve box 21. It is possible to prevent the rod 23 from being damaged.

Note that the thermal expansion absorption allowance 33 shown in FIG. 6A is set to a dimension that is equal to or greater than the maximum value of the difference L3 between the assumed thermal expansion amounts L1 and L2 of the body 7 and the valve box 21.
Further, when the pressure reducing valve 1 is manufactured, as shown in FIG. 3, the material (carbon steel) of the joining cylinder portion 9a and the material (stainless steel) of the main body cylinder portion 9b are different, but the inner cylinder 9 Since the joining cylinder part 9a and the main body cylinder part 9b can be completely melted and welded from both the inner peripheral surface side and the outer peripheral surface side, the strength of the welded portion can be kept high.

  Further, since the material (carbon steel) of the joining cylinder portion 9a of the inner cylinder 9 is the same as the material (carbon steel) of the body 7, the joining cylinder portion 9a can be easily and reliably attached to the inlet 14 side of the body 7. It can be welded to the inner periphery of the end. Thereby, the inner cylinder 9 can be easily attached in the body 7.

  In the above embodiment, the material of the body 7 and the joining cylinder portion 9a of the inner cylinder 9 is carbon steel, and the material of the main body cylinder portion 9b of the inner cylinder 9 is stainless steel. If the joining cylinder part 9a is the same material, and the main body cylinder part 9b of the inner cylinder 9 is a material different from the joining cylinder part 9a and is superior in heat resistance to the joining cylinder part 9a, the above-mentioned The material is not limited.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening of the variable orifice 18 is changed by manually turning the handle 44 of the operating device 45. However, instead of manual operation, the valve rod is automatically used using an electric motor or the like. 23 may be rotated to change the opening of the variable orifice 18.

  In the above embodiment, the exhaust gas 3 has been described as an example of a high-temperature fluid, but a fluid other than the exhaust gas 3 may be used.
