Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably, highly accurately and automatically sense whether fluid leaks from a pipe line by closing a shut-off valve when flow of fluid in the pipe line drops to a predetermined value or lower and by measuring a pressure change at downstream of the shut-off valve. SOLUTION: A control means 22 monitors a flow rate in a pipe line 17 by a measured value of an instantaneous flow meter 21 and closes a shut-off valve 18 when the flow rate drops to a predetermined value or lower. When pressure in a downstream pipe line 20 measured by a downstream pressure detecting means 19 drops to a predetermined value or lower within a predetermined time, leakage is determined, and when measurement is complete, the valve 18 is opened and gas is normally supplied. By using the flow meter 21, drop of the flow rate to a predetermined value or lower can be determined instantly, so that a trouble such as a flame failure in a gas device 28 can be prevented even if the valve 18 is closed. When a reducing valve 24 reaches set pressure with the gas device 28 used during pressure measurement with the valve 18 closed, the gas may be supplied from the valve 24 allowing normal operation, while when the valve 24 is operated, leakage determination is stopped to have the valve 18 opened to normally supply the gas.

However, in the pipe leakage monitoring device as in the conventional example, the pipe leakage determination is performed on the assumption that there is a period when the gas appliances of all homes are not used at the same time. As the number of homes increases and the lifestyles of residents change, is there really a gas leak upstream of individual gas meters, or is gas appliances such as a gas air conditioner continuously used? There is a problem that it becomes ambiguous and the reliability of the leak judgment by the pipe leak judging means is significantly reduced, and even if there is continuous use of igniting, it is erroneously judged that there is a gas leak upstream of the gas meter.

Since there is an error of about 3%, when calculating the total flow rate of each individual gas meter, the error of each meter is superimposed and expands, and the reliability of leak judgment is significantly reduced, and the number of units increases. When it comes, it is very difficult to collect the flow rate of each individual meter at the same time, and the information to judge the leakage even if the total flow rate of each individual meter measured at a time different from the measurement time of the parent gas meter is compared. However, there was a problem of low reliability.

8 is for reopening and supplying the gas normally. Here, since the instantaneous flowmeter 21 is used, it can be instantly determined that the flow rate is below a predetermined value, and the shutoff valve 1
Even if 8 is closed, trouble such as misfire of the gas appliance 28 does not occur. In the conventional membrane type flow meter, even if the flow rate was measured for one hour and the flow rate was less than a predetermined value, the current flow rate was not known, so there was a problem that closing the shutoff valve would cause a gas appliance that was used to misfire. .

Then, if the gas appliance is used while the shutoff valve 18 is closed and the pressure is being measured, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the pressure in the downstream side pipe line 20 decreases and reaches a predetermined pressure P1 set in the pressure reducing valve, the pressure reducing valve 24
The gas is supplied from the gas appliances and the gas appliances can operate normally. When the pressure reducing valve 24 operates, the leakage determination is stopped and the shutoff valve is opened, so that the gas can be normally supplied and the gas appliance can be safely operated before the gas appliance reaches the maximum combustion.

Further, although the leakage determination is periodically performed at a predetermined interval, in the leakage monitoring which is regularly performed, when the predetermined time T1 is reached, the leakage monitoring is first performed when the flow rate becomes Q0 or less after the time T1. However, in that case, there was a case where the gas appliance was used in a relatively large flow rate state or a gas instrument was used after a short time and the measurement could not be performed well, and the reliability of the determination deteriorated. However, the reliability of the leakage monitoring can be enhanced by searching the time zone most suitable for the leakage monitoring and performing the leakage determination by pattern learning during the regular intervals. As shown in FIG. 5, the control means monitors the gas flow rate so that the flow rate is the predetermined flow rate Q0 for a long time.
Pattern learning is performed to detect when the following measurement conditions are the best. Then, at that time, the shutoff valve is closed and the leakage is monitored. Thus, the detection accuracy and reliability can be improved by detecting the time T0 with the best measurement conditions and monitoring the leakage.

Further, by performing the leakage monitoring a plurality of times, the determination results of the plurality of times are used, and when the determination results of all times match, the determination accuracy is improved by determining the leakage, and the gas supply is improved. It is possible to prevent erroneous cutoff. Also,
In another algorithm, even if it is judged as leakage even once,
By determining that there is a leak, it is possible to operate on the safe side and enhance the safety of gas supply. These algorithms can be used depending on the situation, and immediately after installing the leak monitoring device, the all-matching algo is adopted to monitor the applicability of the leak monitoring, and the predetermined period elapses. If the leakage monitoring is performed normally, the leakage judgment will be 1
Malfunctions can be reduced by making the determination once. In addition, the accuracy of the judgment is automatically improved by adding a function to change the number of leak judgments and the method of determining leaks while watching the elapsed time after installing the leak monitor.
