Description

Propane city gas business execution system

The present invention relates to a propane city gas business implementation system.

The liquefied natural gas, abbreviated as "LNG", is a natural gas that becomes liquid when cooled to a temperature of -162°C. The vast majority of natural gas sources today are unfortunately known to be very far from end consumers. One cost effective way to transport natural gas over long distances is to liquefy the natural gas and transport it to an oil tanker, also called an LNG tanker. Liquefied natural gas is converted back to gaseous natural gas at the destination.

The cost of LNG increases rapidly as the transportation distance between the mountain and the demand increases. Therefore, there is a need for alternative city gas to replace this LNG.

On the other hand, liquefied petroleum gas (液化石油-, Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is obtained by extracting crude oil from an oil field or by applying a relatively low pressure (6~7kg/cm2) of hydrocarbon gas when refining crude oil to cool it, and it is commonly called LPG. When the gas becomes liquid, its volume is reduced to about 1/250, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

The main components of LPG are propane (C3H8, specific gravity 1.52. Explosive range 2.2 to 9.5%) and butane (C4H10), and small amounts of hydrocarbons such as propylene (C3H6) and butylene (C4H,8) are used as a single substance or mixture. It is composed.

The calorific value is 20.000~30.000Kcal/m³, which is higher than other fuels and has no odor or color, and LPG used in automobiles such as homes, business places, taxis, etc. has an unpleasant odor that can be easily detected when leaking and prevent accidents. Mercaptan chemicals are mixed and supplied.

LPG is a high-efficiency clean fuel, but there is a problem in that the price fluctuates from time to time, the supply is unstable, and it is expensive due to multi-level distribution.

And, Figure 13 shows an embedded computer screen used in the present invention.

12 and 13, the storage tank checks the remaining amount with an internal sensor (period is 5 minutes), and transmits the signal to the embedded computer (field control panel).

The embedded computer checks the remaining amount received every 5 minutes, analyzes the remaining amount and the remaining amount, measures the time available in the future, and sends it to the integrated control center.

On the other hand, the carburetor measures the internal temperature and water level, and the set range of the internal temperature is largely divided into when the user uses and does not use gas as data that checks the usage of the meter and storage tank.

If the setting when the user uses the singer is set between approximately 65 degrees and 70 degrees, the alarm is set to a constant value (60 degrees or less, 75 degrees or more) above and below the deviation, and the alarm is sounded at low and high temperatures to monitor. When the temperature is lowered to 1/2 or less, it is set to minimize unnecessary energy when not in use.

In addition, by setting the reuse time, it is possible to normalize the carburetor temperature at least an hour before reuse.

Next, the water level measurement range is measured by the water level sensor installed in the carburetor, and if it is below the set water level, the embedded computer and the integrated control center are notified and supplemented. The system is equipped with a small water tank to control the automatic injection.

Next, the heat exchanger adjusts the internal temperature according to whether or not the user uses the same as the operation of the carburetor, uses steam as a heat exchange medium when used, and adjusts the temperature using an induction boiler when not in use.

When not in use, reduce the temperature to 1/2 or less to minimize unnecessary energy when not in use.

In addition, it is possible to normalize the carburetor temperature at least an hour before reuse by setting the reuse time.

Other control signals include the carburetor secondary valve signal. The carburetor secondary valve signal is when the user receives a signal when gas is not being used and closes the valve to extinguish the gas from the carburetor to the device to be used to prevent pressure rise in the piping when reused. Protect the attached system.

Another other control signal is the gas detector signal, which is a gas leak alarm that sends the signal together to the user and the integrated control sensor.

Another other control signal is the shock detection sensor signal. The shock detection sensor signal detects an external shock or a vibration signal and transmits it to the user and the integrated control center.
