Dans la suite de la description, les termes d'« amont » et d'« aval seront implicitement relatifs au dispositif selon l'invention en considérant le sens de l'écoulement. Ainsi, par exemple, l'expression « écoulement amont désignera l'écoulement se dirigeant vers le dispositif considéré et l'expression « écoulement aval » désignera l'écoulement s'en éloignant.In the following description, the terms “upstream” and “downstream” will be implicitly relative to the device according to the invention by considering the direction of flow. Thus, for example, the expression “upstream flow will designate the flow going towards the device considered and the expression“ downstream flow ”will designate the flow moving away from it.

Le long d'une ligne de transfert, la structure d'un écoulement composé d'au moins deux phases, évolue vers des formes qui nécessitent de plus en plus d'énergie pour maintenir en mouvement cet écoulement.Along a transfer line, the structure of a flow made up of at least two phases, evolves towards forms which require more and more energy to keep in motion this flow.

Dans certains cas, la structure de l'écoulement peut être telle que celui-ci ne peut plus être comprimé dans certains modèles de pompes, par exemple dans le cas d'un écoulement diphasique gaz liquide lorsque la taille des bulles gazeuses devient suffisamment grande pour désamorcer la pompe.In some cases, the flow structure can be such that it can no longer be compressed in certain pump models, for example in the case of a two-phase liquid gas flow when the size of the gas bubbles becomes large enough to prime the pump.

Par ailleurs, il est souvent nécessaire de connaître la composition du mélange diphasique transporté par une ligne de transfert, afin de mieux effectuer le réglage de dispositifs placés sur cette ligne tels des pompes, par exemple.Furthermore, it is often necessary to know the composition of the two-phase mixture transported by a transfer line, in order to better perform the adjustment of devices placed on this line such as pumps, for example.

L'art antérieur peut être illustré par les brevets français 2 299 593 et 2 401 862, le brevet britannique 2 014 862 et les brevets américains 3 416 547 et 1 437 649.

L'invention pourra être mieux comprise et ses avantages apparaîtront à la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation non limitatif appliqué au cas d'un mélange diphasique, illustré par les figures jointes et dans lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue générale du dispositif selon l'invention et
  • la figure 2 représente une vue plus détaillée de l'éjecteur.
The invention can be better understood and its advantages will appear from the following description of a non-limiting exemplary embodiment applied in the case of a two-phase mixture, illustrated by the attached figures and in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a general view of the device according to the invention and
  • Figure 2 shows a more detailed view of the ejector.

Sur la figure 1 qui représente une vue d'ensemble du dispositif, la référence 1 désigne la canalisation d'arrivée de l'effluent diphasique.In Figure 1 which shows an overview of the device, the reference 1 designates the inlet pipe of the two-phase effluent.

Le séparateur 2 comporte une capacité 3 dans laquelle est fixé un tube 4 prolongeant la canalisation 1 d'arrivée du mélange diphasique.The separator 2 has a capacity 3 in which is fixed a tube 4 extending the pipe 1 for the arrival of the two-phase mixture.

Le tube 4 est percé d'orifices 5 de forme quelconque.The tube 4 is pierced with orifices 5 of any shape.

A titre d'exemple, ces orifices pourront être circulaires et avoir un diamètre compris entre 4 et 6 millimètres pour un tube de 50 à 100 millimètres de diamètre et pour une canalisation de 0,5 à 2 mètres de longueur.For example, these orifices may be circular and have a diameter of between 4 and 6 millimeters for a tube 50 to 100 millimeters in diameter and for a pipe of 0.5 to 2 meters in length.

Au moins deux canalisations 6 et 7, l'une haute 6, l'autre basse 7, relient le séparateur 2 à un tranquilliseur 8. De même, au moins deux canalisations 9 et 10 relient le tranquilliseur à l'éjecteur 11.At least two lines 6 and 7, one high 6, the other low 7, connect the separator 2 to a tranquilizer 8. Likewise, at least two lines 9 and 10 connect the tranquilizer to the ejector 11.

Le tranquilliseur 8 est éventuellement équipé de moyens de mesures de pression 12 et du niveau liquide 13.The tranquilizer 8 is optionally equipped with means for measuring pressure 12 and the liquid level 13.

Sur chacune des canalisations 9 et 10 reliant le tranquilliseur à l'éjecteur, est placé un débitmètre respectivement 14 et 15. Il est également possible de placer sur ces canalisations 9 et 10 des duses réglables 16 et 17.On each of the lines 9 and 10 connecting the tranquilizer to the ejector, a flow meter 14 and 15 is placed respectively. It is also possible to place on these lines 9 and 10 adjustable nozzles 16 and 17.

L'éjecteur 11 comporte deux pièces mobiles respectivement référencées 18 et 19 sur la figure 2.The ejector 11 comprises two moving parts respectively referenced 18 and 19 in FIG. 2.

La pièce 19 est placée à l'intérieur de la pièce 18 qui est creuse.The part 19 is placed inside the part 18 which is hollow.

La surface extérieure de l'une des extrémités de la pièce 18 définit avec le corps de l'éjecteur 20 un premier étranglement 21.The outer surface of one of the ends of the part 18 defines with the body of the ejector 20 a first constriction 21.

De même, la pièce 19 définit avec la surface intérieure de l'extrémité de la pièce 18 un deuxième étranglement 22.Likewise, the part 19 defines with the inner surface of the end of the part 18 a second constriction 22.

Les formes des parties concernées du corps 20 de l'éjecteur 11, de la pièce 18 et de la pièce 19 sont dessinées de telle manière que lorsque l'on rapproche la pièce 18 du corps 20 ou la pièce 19 de la pièce 18, les sections respectives des étranglements 21 et 22 diminuent.The shapes of the parts concerned of the body 20 of the ejector 11, of the part 18 and of the part 19 are drawn in such a way that when the part 18 is brought closer to the body 20 or the part 19 of the part 18, the respective sections of the throttles 21 and 22 decrease.

Autrement dit, la pièce 18 forme un pointeau creux qui coopère avec le corps 20 de l'éjecteur et la pièce 19 forme un pointeau qui coopère avec l'intérieur de la pièce 18.In other words, the part 18 forms a hollow needle which cooperates with the body 20 of the ejector and the part 19 forms a needle which cooperates with the interior of the part 18.

La partie centrale de la pièce 18 qui a de préférence une forme cylindrique, est percée sur . une certaine longueur d'orifices 23 éventuellement, de telle sorte que quelle que soit la position de la pièce 18 par rapport au corps 20 de l'éjecteur lors du fonctionnement de l'éjecteur, il y ait une section de passage possible pour le fluide arrivant par la canalisation 9 et se dirigeant vers la partie creuse de la pièce 18.The central part of the part 18 which preferably has a cylindrical shape, is drilled on. a certain length of orifices 23 optionally, so that whatever the position of the part 18 relative to the body 20 of the ejector during the operation of the ejector, there is a possible passage section for the fluid arriving via line 9 and moving towards the hollow part of part 18.

La position relative de la pièce 18 par rapport au corps 20 de l'éjecteur, et celle de la pièce 19 par rapport à la pièce 18, sont éventuellement commandées à partir du système de commande automatique 35. Ce dernier peut comporter un système de motorisation 24 piloté à partir du système de programmation 25.The relative position of the part 18 relative to the body 20 of the ejector, and that of the part 19 relative to the part 18, are optionally controlled from the automatic control system 35. The latter can include a motorization system 24 controlled from the programming system 25.

Le système de programmation 25 reçoit les mesures et les instructions nécessaires au pilotage du système de régulation. Le nombre et la nature de ces mesures et de ces instructions sont, entre autres, fonction des conditions d'utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention. En effet, on conçoit lors d'une utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention sur une ligne de transfert, que les informations nécessaires au pilotage de l'éjecteur seront fonction des différents appareils que comportent cette ligne, et de la finesse de la régulation souhaitée.The programming system 25 receives the measurements and the instructions necessary for controlling the regulation system. The number and nature of these measures and these instructions are, among other things, a function of the conditions of use of the device according to the invention. In fact, it is conceivable when using the device according to the invention on a transfer line, that the information necessary for controlling the ejector will depend on the various devices that this line comprises, and on the fineness of the regulation desired. .

Toutefois, et à titre d'exemple non limitatif, différents capteurs ont été représentés à la figure 1. Ainsi, outre les mesures fournies par les débitmètres 14 et 15, le système de programmation 25 reçoit les signaux de capteurs mesurant la pression dans le tranquilliseur (capteur 12), le niveau dans le tranquilliseur (capteur 13), et la pression à la sortie 28 de l'éjecteur (capteur 26).However, and by way of nonlimiting example, various sensors have been shown in FIG. 1. Thus, in addition to the measurements provided by the flowmeters 14 and 15, the programming system 25 receives the signals from sensors measuring the pressure in the stiller. (sensor 12), the level in the stiller (sensor 13), and the pressure at the outlet 28 of the ejector (sensor 26).

La référence 27 désigne une ou plusieurs lignes de transfert d'informations et de consignes extérieures.Reference 27 designates one or more lines for transferring information and external instructions.

Les informations extérieures fournies au système de programmation 25 pourront concerner par exemple les conditions de fonctionnement de machines placées en aval et amont du dispositif considéré, ou la nature des composés de l'écou- lempnt diphasique.The external information provided to the programming system 25 may concern for example the operating conditions of machines placed upstream and downstream of the respective device, or the nature of the compounds of the listened lem p nt diphasic.

Les consignes extérieures que reçoit le système de programmation et qui fixent ces conditions de travail seront par exemple la structure de l'écoulement que l'on souhaite obtenir à la sortie de l'éjecteur, la pression que l'on souhaite avoir à la sortie 28 de l'éjecteur, les débits à transférer, etc...The external instructions which the programming system receives and which set these working conditions will be for example the structure of the flow which one wishes to obtain at the outlet of the ejector, the pressure which one wishes to have at the outlet 28 of the ejector, the flows to be transferred, etc ...

Eventuellement, le système pourra transmettre vers l'extérieur des informations le concernant, tels les débits mesurés par les débitmètres 14 et 15, des pressions, des températures, la position et les conditions de fonctionnement de l'éjecteur.Optionally, the system can transmit information concerning it to the outside, such as the flow rates measured by the flow meters 14 and 15, pressures, temperatures, the position and operating conditions of the ejector.

Eventuellement, le séparateur 2 est muni d'un ensemble permettant la purge de liquide ou de particules solides. Cet ensemble comporte un point bas 29 aménagé dans le séparateur, une canalisation 30 reliant ce point bas à travers un organe de contrôle du débit 31 (par exemple une vanne) et une canalisation 32 reliant ce point bas à travers un organe de contrôle 33 vers un dispositif d'évacuation et tout simplement vers le milieu extérieur.Optionally, the separator 2 is provided with an assembly allowing the purging of liquid or solid particles. This assembly includes a low point 29 arranged in the separator, a pipe 30 connecting this low point through a flow control member 31 (for example a valve) and a pipe 32 connecting this low point through a control member 33 to an evacuation device and simply to the outside environment.

Eventuellement, un échangeur 34 placé dans le séparateur permettra d'agir sur la température du mélange diphasique.Optionally, an exchanger 34 placed in the separator will act on the temperature of the two-phase mixture.

FonctionnementOperation

Le mélange diphasique arrive par la canalisation 1, pénètre dans le stabilisateur par le tube 4 où s'effectue la séparation de la phase liquide et de la phase gazeuse, les dépôts éventuels sont rassemblés au point bas 29 du stabilisateur.The two-phase mixture arrives via the pipe 1, enters the stabilizer through the tube 4 where the separation of the liquid phase and the gaseous phase takes place, any deposits are collected at the low point 29 of the stabilizer.

La température du liquide est éventuellement modifiée par l'utilisation de l'échangeur 34.The temperature of the liquid is possibly modified by the use of the exchanger 34.

Le gaz est transféré par l'orifice 6 dans le tranquilliseur, de même que le liquide par l'orifice 7.The gas is transferred through port 6 into the tranquilizer, as does the liquid through port 7.

Dans le tranquilliseur, les deux phases sont tranquillisées et il est possible de mesurer leur pression et le niveau du liquide.In the tranquilizer, the two phases are tranquilized and it is possible to measure their pressure and the level of the liquid.

La phase gazeuse est transférée par la canalisation 9 vers l'éjecteur. Cette canalisation 9 comporte un débitmètre (à gaz), qui fournit un signal représentatif du débit au système de programmation 25. La phase liquide est transférée par la canalisation 10 vers l'éjecteur. Cette canalisation comporte un débitmètre à liquide 14 dont le signal est transmis au système de programmation 25.The gas phase is transferred through line 9 to the ejector. This line 9 includes a flow meter (gas), which provides a signal representative of the flow to the programming system 25. The liquid phase is transferred through line 10 to the ejector. This pipe comprises a liquid flow meter 14, the signal of which is transmitted to the programming system 25.

Les deux canalisations 9 et 10 sont munies de duses réglables respectivement 15 et 16 permettant de créer éventuellement une légère perte de charge pour couvrir avec un débitmètre ou un dispositif selon l'invention une large gamme de débits.The two pipes 9 and 10 are provided with adjustable nozzles respectively 15 and 16 making it possible to possibly create a slight pressure drop to cover with a flow meter or a device according to the invention a wide range of flow rates.

A partir de différentes mesures, notamment celles des débits, et des consignes extérieures, le système de programmation 25 pilote le système de motorisation 24, lequel commande la position des pièces mobiles de l'éjecteur afin de générer un écoulement diphasique de structure déterminée, celle-ci assurant un fonctionnement stable et optimal des équipements diphasiques placés sur la ligne de transfert en amont et en aval du dispositif selon l'invention.From various measurements, in particular those of the flow rates, and of the external instructions, the programming system 25 controls the motorization system 24, which controls the position of the moving parts of the ejector in order to generate a two-phase flow of determined structure, that -this ensuring stable and optimal operation of the two-phase equipment placed on the transfer line upstream and downstream of the device according to the invention.

Dans le cas d'un mélange gaz-liquide, il est possible d'inverser sur l'éjecteur les positions relatives des canalisations d'arrivée de gaz et de liquide sans pour autant sortir du cadre de la présente invention.In the case of a gas-liquid mixture, it is possible to reverse the relative positions of the gas and liquid inlet pipes on the ejector without departing from the scope of the present invention.

De même, on ne sortira pas du cadre de la présente invention en utilisant un autre type d'éjecteur que celui décrit précédemment.Likewise, it will not depart from the scope of the present invention by using a different type of ejector than that described above.

Le système de programmation 25 pourra être un système à micro-processeur programmé.The programming system 25 could be a programmed microprocessor system.

Le système de motorisation 24 pourra être de tout type connu, électrique, pneumatique, etc...The motorization system 24 may be of any known type, electric, pneumatic, etc.

On ne sortira pas du cadre de la présente invention en appliquant le procédé précédemment décrit à des fluides de même nature mais qui tendent à se dissocier l'un de l'autre tel, par exemple, deux liquides non miscibles de densités différentes.It will not depart from the scope of the present invention by applying the method described above to fluids of the same kind but which tend to dissociate from each other such, for example, two immiscible liquids of different densities.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut également traiter ce genre de fluides.The device according to the invention can also treat this kind of fluids.

Bien entendu, on ne sortira pas du cadre de la présente invention en introduisant des étapes supplémentaires telles que la désalinisation de la phase liquide ou la séparation des émulsions. Les étapes pourront être éventuellement menées parallèlement aux étapes prévues par l'invention, ainsi la désalinisation pourra être effectuée dans le séparateur 2, simultanément à l'étape de séparation.Of course, it will not depart from the scope of the present invention by introducing additional steps such as the desalination of the liquid phase or the separation of the emulsions. The steps may possibly be carried out in parallel with the steps provided by the invention, thus the desalination can be carried out in the separator 2, simultaneously with the separation step.
