Thread Content

Ten years of rapid development in chemical engineering technology – praising the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point to encourage more participation from everyone; with your involvement, things will become even more interesting. [Ten Years of Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment] – continuous updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. We welcome everyone to participate more actively in the forum discussions in order to enhance quality awareness and promote high-quality development. -----------------------------------------Recently, driven by the Shenzhen Institute of Tsinghua University and supported by various agencies such as the Shenzhen Development and Reform Commission, the Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, and the Municipal Energy Bureau, China’s first batch of projects related to hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization on offshore platforms are in full swing. The X3R-50/15-350 model of Xinran’s diaphragm-type hydrogen compressors was selected for use in these projects, marking a new chapter for Xinran’s hydrogen compressors in the field of hydrogen production on offshore platforms. Recently, hydrogen production using offshore wind power has been a popular concept. Compared to electricity, hydrogen is easy to store and has low transmission costs, making it an effective means for offshore wind power to contribute to grid peak shaving. The upper structure of the offshore hydrogen production platform is 100 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 40 meters high. The total weight of the platform (including the upper structure and the jacket foundation) is approximately 30,000 tons, and it can be installed in waters at a depth of 60 meters. The Xiner hydrogen energy compressor unit is designed as a complete skid-mounted system; the compressor, motor, as well as all pipes, primary instruments, control components, and other auxiliary equipment are installed on the same common base, which facilitates transportation, installation, and maintenance. Valves and connectors that are frequently operated on the machine body, such as those related to the circulating water and oil systems, should be placed in locations that facilitate operation during design; it is strictly prohibited to place them in areas inside the machine body where it is difficult for operators to access them. The local instruments and remote control instruments of the equipment should be arranged together to enable easy observation and operation. The lifting holes on the cylinder head are located right above. The return valve installed on the machine body features an automatic unloading function. All moving parts within the lever mechanism that could pose a risk to personal safety must be equipped with protective covers, as well as necessary labels indicating the direction of fluid flow and providing protection against burns.
