The working principle of storage tank pressurization skid is mainly based on the following aspects:
Gas compression principle
Usually equipped with equipment such as compressors or booster pumps. Taking the compressor as an example, the gas in the storage tank is sucked in and compressed through the movement of mechanical parts such as pistons, screws, and impellers to increase the gas pressure. During the compression process, the distance between gas molecules decreases, and the number of gas molecules per unit volume increases, thereby achieving a pressure increase.
Pressure balance principle
The pressure in the storage tank is monitored in real time using a pressure sensor. When the pressure in the storage tank is lower than the set value, the booster skid starts to deliver the compressed high-pressure gas to the storage tank, causing the pressure in the storage tank to rise; when the pressure reaches the set value, the booster skid stops working to maintain the pressure in the storage tank within the set range to meet the process requirements such as material transportation in the storage tank or to ensure the safe operation of the storage tank.
Heat exchange principle
During the gas compression process, heat is generated, causing the gas temperature to rise. In order to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the performance of the gas, the pressurization skid is generally equipped with a heat exchanger to exchange heat with the compressed gas through a cooling medium (such as water or air) to reduce the gas temperature and prevent the high temperature from affecting the equipment performance or causing safety problems. It also helps to improve the gas compression efficiency and pressurization effect.
