VORTEX HEATING TO ELIMINATE LINE HEATERS IN PRESSURE REGULATION
Proprietary technology to control gas pressure at Pressure Regulation Stations simultaneously converting an internal energy of the pressure regulated gas into heat; the generated heat is applied to eliminate combustion or electricity for the upstream gas pre-heat and to maintain the station’s gas discharge temperature at a certain required value.
- No lost gas
- No carbon emissions
- No maintenance
- Green technology
In the Vortex Pressure Regulation Station (VPRS) the proprietary Self-Heating VT is used as a primary pressure regulator. The Self-Heating VT performs non-freeze pressure reduction without the need for the high-pressure gas pre-heat. The pressure regulated gas exits the VT as two separate flows: cold and hot.
The required gas temperature at the VPRS discharge is achieved by dissipating the vortex cold flow energy into an external medium (the near-by transmission gas or ambient air) and then by combining the vortex hot flow with the now warmed cold flow.
