SAFE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING THE STROKE LENGTH OF AN ECCENTRIC PRESS
A safe control apparatus (10) for adjusting the stroke length of an eccentric press (100), wherein the eccentric press (100) has a plunger (102) that is driven via a connecting rod (104) by an eccentric system (106) that comprises an eccentric shaft (108) and an eccentric bushing (114) that can be released from one another and then rotated against one another for the adjustment of the stroke length; wherein the control apparatus (10) has an encoder (12) for determining the rotational position of the eccentric shaft (108) and a control logic (10) to generate a first switching signal at at least one first rotational position (BDC, TDC). The control logic (10) is here configured to automatically readjust the first rotational position (BDC, TDC) on an adjustment of the stroke length.
METHOD OF ESTIMATING GAS EMISSION AMOUNT
For estimation of the gas emission amount from a storage tank for storing a liquid containing the volatile compounds therein, preconditions involving a tank shape of the fixed roof type storage tank and a working pressure of a relief valve are set in a first step, and initial conditions for storage volumes, temperatures, and pressures of the liquid and a gas inside the storage tank are set in a second step. In a third step, an inflow or outflow heat quantity to or from the liquid and the gas inside the storage tank is determined so that a mass transfer amount between the liquid and the gas is obtained through CFD analysis. In a fourth step, whether or not the relief valve is actuated and the gas emission amount through the relief valve are obtained based on the mass transfer amount.
Natural gas hydrate tank container loading system enabling automated connection of electric power line and boil-off gas pipe
The present invention relates to a natural gas hydrate tank container loading system for transporting natural gas hydrate, and the present invention provides a natural gas hydrate tank container loading system which enables automated connection of an electric power line and a boil-off pipe, and may automatically connect an electric power line and automatically connect the pipe by simultaneously stacking respective natural gas hydrate tank containers, in order to solve problems of a transportation method using the existing natural gas hydrate tank containers in the related art in that an operation of connecting an electric power line to a refrigerator for minimizing the occurrence of boil-off gas and maintaining a phase equilibrium condition in the tank containers and an operation of connecting the pipe for discharging the boil-off gas need to be manually and individually performed for long-distance transportation of a large amount of natural gas hydrate by using a ship, which causes an inconvenience.
