Natural gas control apparatus with heating and pressure management
The patent US12025319B2 describes an advanced natural gas control system designed to manage the flow and heating of natural gas through a series of interconnected components. The apparatus includes a first valve for receiving natural gas, a high-pressure accumulator, a catalytic heater, and a medium-pressure accumulator. A first controller is integrated to regulate the flow of gas using a control valve, with the capability to switch control based on pressure differentials between two amounts of natural gas. The system is structured with multiple piping sections and valves, including fail-close valves to ensure safety and reliability during operation. Additionally, the apparatus can be equipped with a computing device and a second controller for enhanced control and monitoring.
The method outlined in the patent details the sequential steps for processing natural gas, starting from its reception to its heating and distribution. The system is designed to send the first amount of natural gas through various components, including an indirect heater, while also managing a second amount of gas that is at a higher pressure. This allows the first controller to effectively control the flow of gas through the control valve based on real-time pressure data. The method also includes provisions for additional gas management through a second controller and various valves, ensuring a comprehensive approach to natural gas control. Overall, the patent presents a sophisticated solution for optimizing natural gas flow and heating in industrial applications.
