Description

Measuring chamber and measuring rack
Technical Field
The invention relates to a measuring chamber for checking the leak tightness of a line arrangement against a test fluid pressurized to a test pressure. The invention also relates to a measuring stand with at least one measuring chamber and with an evaluation device.
Background
In the chemical industry, it is always necessary to transport many chemicals of diverse types, for example from the production site to the use site. Inside a chemical plant, this is usually done by means of pipelines connected to form a pipeline system. In order to construct these pipeline systems, many other system components are required in addition to the mentioned pipelines, such as valves, flanges, couplings, sensors, splitters and the like. In order to ensure safe operation of the pipeline system, all system components must be at least subjected to a leak tightness test. In addition, however, any emissions that escape from these system components during operation play an important role in the evaluation of worker protection.
In a known test method for checking system components of a pipeline system (hereinafter referred to as line arrangement), the line arrangement to be tested is filled with helium gas and pressurized to a test pressure. The line arrangement is then flushed with a flushing gas (e.g. nitrogen) and the flushing gas is then investigated for traces of helium. It is also known to record and detect helium gas escaping at the leak site using a sniffing probe or a suitable detection device. The disadvantage here is that the wiring arrangement cannot be tested under real conditions. The test conditions do not reflect either the installation conditions or the operating pressure, operating temperature, filling level or similar parameters. Furthermore, it is likewise not possible to check the extent to which certain substances (e.g. highly corrosive chemicals) affect the operational safety of the line arrangement.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore considered an object of the present invention to provide a measuring chamber which facilitates inspection of the wiring arrangement under conditions which can be approximated to the actual situation.
This object is achieved according to the invention in that the measuring chamber has at least one measuring device, wherein the measuring device is at least indirectly actively connected with a measuring space (volume) which is surrounded by the measuring chamber and surrounds at least a part of the line arrangement, wherein the measuring space is hermetically sealed off from an external gas space surrounding the measuring chamber, and wherein a change in the state of a measuring fluid filling the measuring space can be determined by means of the measuring device, such that an active connection between the test fluid and the measuring fluid caused by an insufficient leak tightness of the line arrangement can be determined by determining the change in the state of the measuring fluid.
The invention provides that, in particular, the pressure, temperature, composition, pH, conductivity, refractive index, particle concentration or similar parameters of the measurement fluid can be determined and/or monitored by means of one or more measurement devices. This enables not only to identify any leaking line arrangement, but also to record and evaluate the escaping emissions of the test fluid, for example with respect to the desired operational safety of the line arrangement during the course of the intended application.
In order to obtain a spatial and/or temporal resolution of the properties of the measurement fluid, it is further proposed that the measurement chamber can have a plurality of measurement devices which are arranged at a distance from one another and inside the measurement space. The arrangement of a plurality of temperature sensors within the measurement space enables, for example, the determination of a time-and spatially-resolved temperature profile of the measurement fluid arranged in the measurement space, which enables the escape of the heated test fluid from the line arrangement to be understood in particular.
An advantageous embodiment of the inventive concept proposes that the measuring chamber has a test supply line, wherein the test supply line passes through a measuring chamber wall and has an inner test connection arranged inside the measuring chamber and an outer test connection arranged outside the measuring chamber, wherein a test reservoir can be connected in a fluid-conveying manner to the outer test connection, wherein a test fluid pressurized to the test pressure can be provided by the test reservoir, wherein the line arrangement to be tested has at least one inlet portion and a tip portion, wherein the inlet portion can be connected in a fluid-conveying manner to the inner test connection, and wherein the line arrangement can be sealed in a leak-tight manner at the tip portion by means of a tip piece. The invention proposes that the inlet section and the internal test connection have a connection device, such as a flange, a thread with a screw cap and a sealing element, a quick coupling or the like, which are adapted to one another.
The test reservoir may for example be a pressure vessel filled with the test fluid, a supply line through which the test fluid is transported from the test fluid storage and/or production site into the area of the measurement bench, a compressor "on site" compressing and providing the test fluid, or the like.
The invention proposes that the test fluid can be supplied from the test reservoir either statically, i.e. with constant pressure and/or constant temperature and/or constant volumetric flow rate and/or constant composition, or dynamically, i.e. with variable pressure and/or variable temperature and/or variable volumetric flow rate and/or variable composition, both of these.
An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the line arrangement is sealed in a fluid-tight manner by the end piece, so that the test fluid is prevented from flowing through the line arrangement. In the sense of the inventive concept, "fluid-tight" means that mutual communication between the test fluid and the measurement fluid is prevented. In particular, in order to test the line arrangement while excluding flow dynamics effects (e.g. boundary layer or vortex formation), a fluid-tight design of the end piece is advantageous.
The invention also proposes that the end piece can have a so-called rupture seal or a pressure rupture seal. This type of seal undergoes material failure at a defined rupture pressure and contributes to a sudden pressure drop inside the wiring arrangement. This makes it possible to check the behavior of the line arrangement and the pressure-carrying capacity of the line arrangement in the event of a pressure surge of this type.
In an advantageous embodiment of the measuring chamber according to the invention, the invention provides that the measuring chamber has a test discharge line, wherein the test discharge line passes through the measuring chamber wall and has an inner discharge line connection arranged inside the measuring chamber and an outer discharge line connection arranged outside the measuring chamber, wherein the inner discharge line connection is connectable in a fluid-conveying manner to the fluid outlet of the end piece such that the test fluid can flow through the line arrangement. This type of measurement chamber embodiment also enables the testing of the wiring arrangement in view of dynamic effects, in particular flow dynamic effects.
Furthermore, the test can also be performed with the test fluid changing during the test operation, which also enables checking of the interaction between the various test fluids and the line arrangement.
The invention proposes that the fluid outlet and the internal drainage line connection have a connection device, such as a flange, a thread with a screw cap and a sealing element, a quick coupling or the like, which are adapted to one another.
An advantageous embodiment of the inventive concept provides that at least one valve element is or can be arranged between an end portion of the line arrangement and the outer discharge line connection, so that a flow of the test fluid through the line arrangement can be facilitated or prevented. The valve element enables, for example, switching between a static test without a volume flow rate and a dynamic test with a volume flow rate.
The invention further provides that the valve element can be designed as a throttle valve, which makes it possible to adjust the pressure and/or the volume flow rate and/or the flow rate of the test fluid by means of the valve element.
The valve element can also be designed as a pressure relief valve and/or with a pressure relief valve, so that the test fluid is discharged from the line arrangement and/or the measuring chamber at a defined, excessively high pressure and damage to the line arrangement and/or the measuring chamber is thus prevented.
An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the measurement chamber has a measurement supply line, wherein the measurement supply line passes through the measurement chamber wall and enters the measurement space on the inner side of the measurement chamber wall, wherein the measurement supply line has a first measurement connection arranged outside the measurement chamber, wherein a measurement reservoir can be connected to the first measurement connection in a fluid-conveying manner, wherein a measurement fluid can be provided by the measurement reservoir and can be introduced into the measurement space of the measurement chamber via the measurement supply line. This type of measurement chamber embodiment enables influencing the parameters of the measurement fluid.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the measuring chamber, the measuring reservoir is designed in such a way that it facilitates a change in the pressure of the measuring fluid, for example in that the measuring reservoir is or can be actively connected to a compressor. This is advantageous in particular under the following conditions: if it is intended to test a circuit arrangement which is not intended to operate in an environment with an international standard atmosphere (temperature 15 ℃, pressure 1013.25hPa), but for example inside an atmosphere with a reduced or increased pressure.
In an advantageous embodiment of the measuring chamber according to the invention, it is proposed that the measuring chamber has a measuring outlet line, wherein the measuring outlet line extends from the measuring space through the measuring chamber wall, and has a second measuring connection arranged outside the measuring chamber, wherein the measuring fluid can be conveyed out of the measuring space of the measuring chamber via the measuring outlet line. This enables the measurement fluid to flow through the measurement space.
The invention also provides that the measurement fluid can be exchanged constantly and/or for individual test portions. Thus, for example, in a first test section the measurement fluid may be nitrogen at room temperature, which fills the measurement space without flowing through it, while in a further test section the measurement fluid may be carbon dioxide at 80 ℃, which flows through the measurement space at a defined volumetric flow rate. In this type of measuring chamber embodiment, it is particularly advantageous that the measuring fluid can be adjusted and/or varied depending on the actual operating parameters of the line arrangement.
Furthermore, the invention provides that, for determining the flow mechanics of the line arrangement, a measuring fluid flowing through the measuring space can be used. For this purpose, optical markers, for example atomizers, soot or the like, which can be detected by means of optical methods and thus enable the formation of boundary layers, vortices, dead water zones or the like to be tested, may be added to the measurement fluid, for example.
An advantageous embodiment of the inventive concept provides that at least one of the measuring devices is arranged inside the measuring and discharge line or is actively connected to the measuring and discharge line. The invention proposes that the measuring device is or can be actively connected to the measurement drain, for example by means of a riser, a bypass or the like.
An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the measuring chamber has a temperature control device by means of which the temperature of the line arrangement can be changed directly and/or indirectly, at least in sections. The temperature control means may comprise both heating and cooling.
The temperature control device may have, for example, a channel through which the fluid flows, wherein the invention proposes that the temperature control fluid flowing through the channel can introduce and/or remove thermal energy into and/or from the measurement chamber, so that the temperature can be set inside the measurement chamber. Other possible temperature control devices are, in particular, Peltier elements, electrical heating wires, infrared lamps, microwave generators or the like.
The invention also provides that the temperature control device can be adapted to the measuring chamber and/or the line arrangement in such a way that: in order to, for example, only heat and/or cool the line arrangement, only local changes in the temperature inside the measurement chamber are facilitated.
The invention also relates to a measuring rack having at least one measuring chamber embodiment described above and an evaluation device, wherein the evaluation device is at least actively connected in signal transmission with the measuring device of the measuring chamber and a parameter of the measuring fluid which has been determined by the measuring device can be evaluated by means of the evaluation device, so that the leak tightness of a line arrangement arranged in the measuring chamber against a test fluid which is pressurized to a test pressure can be determined by means of the measuring rack.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the measuring stand, the invention provides that a plurality of measuring chambers, each of which may have a plurality of measuring devices, can be monitored by means of an evaluation device.
Furthermore, the invention provides that the measuring chamber can be controlled via a central control device. By means of the control device, in particular the pressure and temperature of the test fluid and the measurement fluid can be controlled and/or monitored to ensure safe operation of the measurement bench.
An advantageous embodiment of the inventive concept proposes that the measuring rack has at least one test reservoir and at least one measuring reservoir, wherein the test reservoir is connected in a fluid-conveying manner to an outer test connection of the measuring chamber, wherein the measuring reservoir is connected in a fluid-conveying manner to a first measuring connection of the measuring chamber.
The invention proposes that a test reservoir can be assigned to each measurement chamber of the measurement bench or that one test reservoir can be assigned to at least two measurement chambers. The measuring rack may also have a test reservoir, by means of which a plurality of test fluids can be provided. The combination in which the test reservoir and the measurement chamber have been and/or are fluidically connected to one another ultimately depends on the specific requirements of the measurement bench.
An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that at least one of the measuring chambers has a test drain line and/or a test drain line which can be blocked by means of a valve element, wherein the outer drain line connection enters at least indirectly into a first exhaust gas device of the measuring rack, wherein the test fluid can be operated by the first exhaust gas device, in particular in such a way that the test fluid which has been conveyed out of the measuring chamber is prevented from influencing a gas space (volume) surrounding the measuring rack. Within the meaning of the inventive concept, "… … operable" means that both the test fluid can be disposed of, for example by being pumped into a disposal system or blown out into the environment, and the test fluid can be circulated in a test fluid circuit.
In an advantageous embodiment of the measuring rack according to the invention, it is proposed that at least one of the measuring chambers has a measuring outlet line and/or a measuring outlet line with at least one measuring device, wherein the second measuring connection enters at least indirectly into a second exhaust gas device of the measuring rack, wherein the measuring fluid can be operated by the second exhaust gas device, in particular in such a way that the measuring fluid which has been conveyed out of the measuring chamber is prevented from influencing a gas space surrounding the measuring rack. Within the meaning of the inventive concept, "… … -operable" means that both the measurement fluid can be disposed of, for example by being pumped into a disposal system or blown out into the environment, and the measurement fluid can be circulated in a measurement fluid circuit.
