Seismic Analysis and Calculation of LNG Ultra-low Temperature Ball Valve

  • 摘要: 超低温球阀广泛应用在LNG输送等低温工程领域,是LNG接收站稳定运行的关键设备。为保证在严重地震工况下阀门能稳定运行,设计了一种超低温上装式球阀结构。针对阀门在低温运行状态时,不同工况下结构强度是否满足设计要求,对其进行了仿真建模,完成了低温抗震仿真计算和结果分析评价。研究结果表明,提出的抗震仿真计算模型能模拟计算阀门各部位温度场分布,提出的应力评价方法能有效评估阀门结构是否满足不同等级(O、A、B、C、D级)工况下应力评价标准。仿真计算结果表明,所设计的的阀门结构能够满足最严事故工况(D级)下,设计工况O级应力评价标准,为后续超低温阀门抗震计算和应力评价提供了参考,具有一定指导意义。

     

    Abstract: Cryogenic top-entry ball valves are widely employed in low-temperature engineering applications such as LNG transportation and serve as critical equipment for the stable operation of LNG receiving terminals. To ensure reliable valve performance under severe seismic conditions, a novel cryogenic top-entry ball valve structure was designed. To verify whether the structural strength meets design requirements during cryogenic operation under various working conditions, a simulation model was developed. This enabled the execution of seismic simulation analyses under low-temperature conditions, followed by comprehensive evaluation of the results.The research findings demonstrate that the proposed seismic simulation model accurately calculates the temperature distribution across all valve components. Furthermore, the developed stress evaluation method effectively assesses whether the valve structure complies with stress acceptance criteria under different classification levels (O, A, B, C, D). Simulation results confirm that the designed valve structure satisfies the Level O stress acceptance criteria for design conditions under the most severe postulated accident conditions (Level D). This serves as a valuable reference for subsequent seismic calculation and stress evaluation of cryogenic valves, offering significant practical implications.
