In the article the dependences of friction head loss at turbulent flow of non-Newtonian liquid are analysed on the example of calculation for pipelines of different diameter. As the pumped liquid was considered heavy highly solidified Mangyshlak oil, transported by the main oil pipeline Uzen – Atyrau – Samara.

The set task is to create an elastic damping system with the desired low (quasi-zero) stiffness, which makes it possible to reduce the detrimental effect of pumping unit vibrations both on human health and on the equipment itself. High internal dynamic (vibration) loads are the main causes of early failure of pumping units, which are transmitted to the equipment through pipelines and foundations, mainly due to various operational factors. A promising trend in increasing the operating reliability and efficiency of pumping and power equipment is the use of a vibration-isolating compensator system (VICS). To obtain greater efficiency of vibration isolation, it is proposed to apply a modern method of vibration damping – the use of elastic mechanical systems with quasi-zero stiffness. The damping devices with a quasi-zero stiffness effect were studied. An assessment of the operability and effectiveness of these dampers at oil and gas facilities was given. Based on the information studied, a new concept of a quasi-zero stiffness damping device is proposed. The method of mathematical analysis determined its power curve. A 3D model of the damper device was built using a simulation software. The functional check of the damper was performed with mathematical modeling carried out on the computing device with the help of a specialized Ansys software that allows performing a system analysis of an object using the finite element method. The following results were obtained: the design of the damper with the effect of quasi-zero stiffness allows to widen the range of basement load transmission coefficient reduction towards low frequencies. The low rigidity of the system at the operating point ensures low values of the frequency of natural oscillations, and, consequently, high vibration isolation qualities.","PeriodicalId":448001,"journal":{"name":"Liquid and Gaseous Energy Resources","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116893947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recoverable natural gas reserves amount to about 67 trillion cubic meters, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation for 2023. In recent years, the development of the Unified Gas Supply System has been growing rapidly. Since 2021 the Government of the Russian Federation has been actively introducing draft laws and regulations related to the scaling of the country’s gasification. In June 2021 came out the Federal Law No. 184-FZ, which instructed the Government of the Russian Federation to adopt regulations aimed at implementation of provisions of free gasification of the country [1]. In September 2021 there was issued Decree No. 1547, [2] approving the new Rules for connecting gas-using equipment and capital construction facilities to gas distribution networks, which introduces the concept of pre-gasification. It is worth noting that new gas mains, compressor stations (CS) are put into operation, active reconstruction of the existing shops with exhausted gas compressor units (GCU) is carried out. One of the most urgent issues of the gas industry today is the efficient use of energy resources. Besides using the energy of flue gases from gas turbine drive of GPA, energy at gas throttling at gas distribution stations and other methods of energy saving, the significant role is played by the effective operation of air coolers of gas (ACG), the operation of which affects the reliable transportation of gas in the main gas pipeline (MG). The paper analyzes the methods of technical condition of gas air cooling devices of “Iceberg” type operated at the production site of the booster compressor station of “Gazprom Dobycha Nadym” LLC. The thermal efficiency of air coolers with all fans turned on and off was determined for the coldest and hottest months of the year.
