Algorithm for controlling the operation of energy-efficient gas production points

During the operation of gas distribution networks, the gas pressure when moving to the consumer decreases at the gas distribution point (GDP). When the gas pressure at the hydraulic fracturing site decreases, a decrease in the temperature of the transported gas is observed (Joule-Thompson effect or adiabatic expansion). As a result of a decrease in gas temperature, condensate may form in the form of liquid fractions and crystalline hydrates. As a result, it becomes possible that the operation of the hydraulic fracturing pressure regulator will deviate from the planned mode with possible condensate adhesion on the walls, impulse tubes and cavities of the regulator, affecting the operation of instrumentation, contamination of filters, etc. Traditionally, this is dealt with by maintaining the required gas temperature through partial combustion of the transported gas with heating of the hydraulic fracturing room and gas. But always, when burning gas, certain volumes of it were consumed, and therefore funds, and at the same time gas combustion products entered the atmosphere. In addition, gas combustion, that is, the use of open fire, increased the risks of hydraulic fracturing. In this paper, it is proposed another algorithm for the gas preparation process when supplying it to the consumer: to abandon additional gas costs and the disadvantages indicated with the combustion procedure, while maintaining the necessary quality of gas preparation for its further use using a simple conversion of bypass lines with two vortex channels. The basis for this method of gas preparation was a series of works by the Department of Physics on the theoretical substantiation of statistical patterns in the formation of directed molecular flows. The proposed physical statistics is based on the universal mechanism of long-range wave action (ULWM), the selective nature of which at the stage of continuous streamers determines both the speed of the wave component and the loss of rotational degrees of freedom of molecular motion. Thanks to this, we observe thermal effects inherent in the Ranque-Hilsch effect. On this physical basis, an explanation is given for the operation of both vortex tubes and a number of atmospheric phenomena, including tornadoes and the appearance of lightning. It is on the basis of ULWM that a description of the physical essence of the operation of two vortex channels (condensation and decondensation) is given with a gain in energy and quality of preparation of the gas mixture.
