The invention relates to in-parallel reaction kettles and a reaction-kettle-based device for testing the
induction time of hydrates, and belongs to the technical field of hydrates. The in-parallel reaction kettles are arranged annularly and comprise eight
equidistant high pressure-resistant stainless steel reaction kettles, wherein an upper
flange plug and a lower
flange plug are arranged on each reaction kettle; an interface is formed in the center of an upper
flange and is used for connecting a
temperature sensing system (a thermoelectric couple); a lower flange is provided with an interface for the injection of air and liquid and vacuumizing; and different hydrates can be added into the reaction kettles to generate induction factor
impact factors. The testing device consists of the in-parallel reaction kettles, a
temperature control system, an air supply pressurization
system, a liquid supply system, a computer
data acquisition system, a
vacuum pump and a
safety valve. By the in-parallel reaction kettles and the reaction kettle-based device, influencing factors of
induction time in the process of generating the hydrates can be measured, the condition of the influence of each induction factor on the generation of the hydrates can be found, and the problem of long test period due to slow generation of the hydrates is solved. Simultaneously, the influence degree of different influencing factors on the
induction time in the process of generating the hydrates can be tested accurately and efficiently by combining a cross-over experiment.
