METHOD OF GAS DISTRIBUTION STATION OPERATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F17D1/04 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: method for gas distribution station (GDS) operation comprises gas pressure and temperature measuring means in high and medium pressure gas lines, gas filtering and pressure adjusting means, whereby the natural gas from the high pressure line is fed into the storage tanks of the same size pre-filled with natural gas at a pressure 0.5-0.6 MPa higher than the pressure in the medium pressure gas line, gas is throttled with pressure increasing up to 2.5-3 MPa. Due to gas compression, the temperature rises, and then gas is throttled, purified and supplied at a positive temperature to the medium-pressure gas line to provide consumers.

EFFECT: gas temperature increase up to a positive value during supply to the medium pressure gas line, exception of hydrate formation in winter and summer GDS operation, elimination of gas heaters installation and saving of gas spent on auxiliaries.
