Foreview:The application fields of cryogenization technology are gradually expanding to natural gas liquefaction and separation in the natural gas industry and MTO/MTP olefin separation in the modern coal chemical industry. National energy structure adjustment and industrial transformation and upgrading strategy provide a good market opportunity for the above-mentioned emerging technologies. The demand for cryogenization technology and equipment in natural gas and modern coal chemical industry is increasing rapidly. It is expected to become the next fast growth point of this industry.
Machine meeting:The application fields of cryogenic technology equipment include natural gas, coal chemical industry, petrochemical industry, etc., all belong to the industry with high comprehensive energy consumption. At present, with the in-depth implementation of the national energy conservation and emission reduction policy, cryogenic technology equipment manufacturers consider more energy consumption, emissions and other indicators in the process design process, and customers will also take energy conservation as one of the key evaluation points when choosing products.
The LNG is transported by sea from the origin to the user, where it is received and stored at a receiving station. When unloading, the LNG is collected by the ship's delivery pump through the discharge arm and its branch pipe to the main pipe, and through the main pipe to the LNG storage tank. In this process, it is usually necessary to install flowmeters in the main pipe for metering.
Current problems: the flowmeter used in the early design of the project is a branch force mass flowmeter, but due to the structural limitations of the mass flowmeter itself, the maximum diameter can only be DN250, and it is necessary to use multiple parallel to meet the measurement requirements, which will bring greater pressure loss and cost increase, resulting in economic losses for the owner.
In the flow measurement of low temperature fluid, generally avoid the use of flange sealing structure, because of the reason of thermal expansion and contraction of some leakage is difficult to control, and the structure of the "A+K balance flowmeter" is the throttle parts and pressure port integration, the measurement of low temperature fluid when the whole flowmeter and pipe is welded, no leakage point, to solve the problem of the flow meter at very low temperature leakage is difficult to control.
Performance characteristics
Cryogenic fluids are usually stored in a saturated state in an insulated storage vessel. In the transfer, pump pressure, send out, start the process, and repeated pressure, pressure. In this process, the extremely low temperature fluid in the saturated state changes into the supercold state and the boiling state, and the state is easy to change. Therefore, flowmeter design needs to take measures to avoid or mitigate the impact of this process.
A+K balance flowmeter comes from a new differential pressure flowmeter designed and invented by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center for the measurement of liquid oxygen, the raw material of the main engine of the space shuttle. It is the most advanced differential pressure flowmeter in industrial process control and measurement in the world today. Jointly developed by NASA/MSFC/A+FLOWTEK, the SUITES are obtained through thermodynamic modeling, real flow data and flow simulation, and A+FLOWTEK SUITES is designed with a powerful special selection calculation software.
Powerful database and correction compensation function,A+K flow integrator integrates a huge database, with precious low temperature media data, media density temperature pressure compensation and outflow coefficient compensation and other functions. It plays a key role in density correction of special media such as deep cooling.
