超声波流量计对掺氢天然气管路结构的适应性研究

INVESTIGATION ON ADAPTABILITY OF ULTRASONIC FLOWMETER FOR HYDROGEN BLENDED TO NATURAL GAS PIPELINE STRUCTURE

  • 摘要: 氢气作为全球脱碳目标的重要载体,输送量是限制其大规模应用的主要瓶颈。掺氢天然气是实现大流量输送氢气的一种重要途径。氢气的掺入导致流速畸变,降低超声波流量计的性能。以掺入氢气的甲烷为主要工质,对8种类型掺混管路内部的气体流动状态进行模拟仿真研究,分析流场内气体速度和氢气浓度的分布状态;并对超声波流量计的适应性进行分析,确定其推荐安装位置。在超声流量计的适应性分析中,三匝螺旋管时仅需15D;对于单螺旋结合变径管的适应性影响更大,最小需要96D。通过比较,掺混管路C为最佳模型,掺混均匀时的氢气摩尔分数约为3.9%。可为超声波流量计在掺氢天然气准确计量方面提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Hydrogen as an important vehicle for global decarbonization goals, the amount of transport is the main bottleneck limiting its large-scale application. Hydrogen blended to natural gas can realize the large-scale ransportation for hydrogen. The hydrogen blended natural gas causes distortion of the flow rate and reduce the performance of ultrasonic flowmeter. In this paper, hydrogen mixed with methane is used as the main working medium. The internal flow field of the 8 types of blended pipelines were simulated and studied. The distribution of gas velocity and hydrogen concentration in the internal flow field were analyzed. The adaptability of the ultrasonic flowmeter is analyzed to determine its recommended installation position. In the adaptability analysis of ultrasonic flowmeter, three-turn spiral pipeline only needs 15D; The adaptability of one-turn spiral tube combined reducer is bigger, the minimum is 96D. By comparison, the blended pipeline C is the best. Hydrogen mole fraction is about 3.9% when hydrogen and natural gas is blended uniformly. The research results can provide reference for accurate metering of hydrogen blended to natural gas with ultrasonic flowmeter.
