Abstract
An in-situ observation device for gas hydrates includes a reactor, which includes a visual tube, a pulling rod, a temperature-controlled seed crystal rod and a spiral adjuster. An upper end and a lower end of the visual tube are respectively equipped with an upper end cap and a lower end cap. The upper end cap defines an air inlet, and the lower end cap defines a liquid inlet. An upper end of the temperature-controlled seed crystal rod is connected to an adjusting flange. The adjusting flange is connected to the spiral adjuster. A lower end of the temperature-controlled seed crystal rod hermetically passes through the upper end cap and is located in the visual tube. The temperature-controlled seed crystal rod defines a cooling liquid channel, and a cooling liquid inlet and a cooling liquid outlet, a seed crystal rod liquid inlet and a seed crystal rod outlet.
