Abstract

This paper presents a novel gas-liquid linkage boosting device designed for gas over oil valve actuators in natural gas long-distance pipelines. The device aims to extract energy from the natural gas pipeline and utilize the combined effect of a pneumatic-hydraulic converter, a mechanical boosting mechanism, and hydraulic transmission technology to continuously store hydraulic energy. This enables the device to provide stable power to the actuator under limited input pressure and size constraints. The device incorporates a mechanical directional switching structure for faster, more stable, and reliable switching operations. Additionally, compared to traditional devices, it features a simplified pneumatic circuit, reducing maintenance and repair requirements while minimizing failure rates due to impurity deposition in natural gas. Overall, this innovative device shows promising potential for enhancing the performance of gas over oil valve actuators used as valve actuators in pipeline applications.
