Abstract

An explosive gas, dissolved in a solvent, is stored under pressure in these bottles. So that a device can be specified which enables bottles stored in the open air to be safely emptied, but the cost of which is comparatively low, it is proposed to surround the bottles with a jacket in the area of the bottle flanks, the jacket ending in the area of the bottle shoulders so that the latter are exposed.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schutzvorrichtung in Verbindung mit im Freien aufgestellten Gasflaschen in denen ein exposibles Gas im einem Lösungsmittel gelöst unter Druck gespeichert ist wobei die Gasflaschen zu Flaschenbündeln in der Weise zusammengefaßt sind, daß sie am eine gemeinsame Entnahmeleitung angeschlossen sind.The invention relates to a protective device in connection with outdoor gas bottles in which an exposible gas is stored in a solvent dissolved under pressure, the gas bottles being combined into bundles of bottles in such a way that they are connected to a common extraction line.

Derartige Vorrichtungen sind beispielsweise für die Bereitstellung von Acetylen bekannt. Beispielsweise in "Technische Regeln für Acetylenanlagen und Calciumcarbidlager TRAC206, Ausg. 5.78" sind die Anforderungen angegeben, die an Aufstellplätze für Batterieanlagen zumdamaliegen Zeitpunkt gestellt wurden, nämlich z.B. das Vorhandensein eines nicht brennbaren Daches (siehe Pkt. 432). Batterieanlagen sind Acetylenversorgungsanlagen, denen das Acetylen aus zwei oder mehreren Acetylenflaschen - auch als Flaschenbündel zusammengefaßt - gleichzeitig entnommen wird. Demnach müssen Batterieanlagen im Freien also durch ein Dach aus nicht brennbaren Baustoffen vor Witterungseinflüssen und Sonneneinstrahlung geschützt sein. Die Dachdeckung muß somit ausreichend widerstandsfähig gegen strahlende Wärme sein, um die Flaschen vor einer unzulässigen Wärmeeinwirkung schützen zu können.Devices of this type are known, for example, for the provision of acetylene. For example, in "Technical Rules for Acetylene Plants and Calcium Carbide Bearings TRAC206, Issue 5.78", the requirements are given that were placed on installation sites for battery systems at the time, namely e.g. the presence of a non-combustible roof (see item 432). Battery systems are acetylene supply systems, from which the acetylene is taken from two or more acetylene bottles - also grouped together as a bundle - at the same time. Accordingly, outdoor battery systems must be protected from the weather and sunlight by a roof made of non-combustible building materials. The roof covering must therefore be sufficiently resistant to radiant heat in order to be able to protect the bottles from inadmissible heat.

Die Errichtung eines derartigen Schutzdaches verursacht jedoch Kosten, die eine Entnahmevorrichtung für ein exposibles Gas, das in einem Lösungsmittel unter Druck gespeichert ist, erheblich verteuert.However, the construction of such a protective roof causes costs which make an extraction device for an exposible gas, which is stored in a solvent under pressure, considerably more expensive.

Überlegungen hinsichtlich anderer sicherer Aufstellmöglichkeiten waren deshalb gegeben. So ist z.B. aus der BE-A-510 996 ein Behälter für Gasflashen bekannt, der diese vollständig aufnimmt und von oben gesehen mit einem Deckel verschließbar ist. Dieses Behältnis stellt jedoch bereits wiederum eine recht aufwendige Einrichtung dar, die darüber hinaus bein Austausch der Flaschenbündel ungünstige Eigenschaften besitzt.Considerations regarding other safe installation options were therefore given. For example, from BE-A-510 996 a container for gas bottles is known which completely accommodates them and can be closed with a lid when viewed from above. However, this container is again a very complex device, which also has unfavorable properties when the bottle bundle is exchanged.

Der Erfindung liegt daher Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art anzugeben, die eine sichere Entleerung der Flaschen ermöglicht, deren Kosten jedoch vergleichsweise niedrig liegen.The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a device of the type described at the outset which enables safe emptying of the bottles, but the costs of which are comparatively low.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß um das Gasflaschenbündel eine Verkleidung, d.h. Abschirmflächen aus einem Sonnenstrahlung reflektierenden Material, so angeordnet ist bzw. sind, daß die äußeren Flaschenflanken der äußeren Gasflaschen der Flaschenbündels von den Abschirmflächen umgeben sind, die Flaschen jedoch von oben gesehen unverdeckt bleiben.This object is achieved in that a panel, i.e. Shielding surfaces made of a material reflecting solar radiation are arranged such that the outer bottle flanks of the outer gas bottles of the bottle bundle are surrounded by the shielding surfaces, but the bottles remain uncovered when viewed from above.

Wurde bei bisherigen Vorrichtungen zum Schutz von Flaschen, die ein exposibles Gas beinhalten und im Freien aufgestellt werden, darauf geachtet, diese allseitig vor Sonneneinwirkung zu schützen, so wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ein anderer Weg eingeschlagen. Durch die vorgeschlagene Verkleidung werden nur noch die Flaschenflanken, nicht aber deren Kopfbereich, die Flaschenschultern, gegen Sonneneinstrahlung geschützt. Dennoch ist eine sichere Gasentnahme gewährleistet: Durch die Verkleidung werden nur jene Flaschenbereiche vor Sonneneinwirkung geschützt, deren Erwärmung aus Sicherheitsgründen vermieden werden muß. In einer Flaschenbatterie beispielsweise stehen die Flaschen vertikal. Ohne jeden Sonnenschutz würden nun die Flaschen erwärmt, die direkt der Sonneneinstrahlung ausgesetzt sind, während die im Schatten dieser Flaschen angeordneten Flaschen keine Erwärmung erfahren. Eine ungleichmäßige Erwärmung verschiedener Flaschen, die z.B. in Form eines Bündels oder einer Batterie an eine gemeinsame Entnahmeleitung angeschlossen sind, ist aber unzulässig, da das exploxible Gas den einzelnen Flaschen in unterschiedlichen Mengen entnommen würde. Dieser Effekt ist aus Sicherheitsgründen zu unterdrücken.If previous devices for protecting bottles which contain an exposable gas and are set up outdoors were taken care of to protect them on all sides from the effects of the sun, a different approach is taken by the device according to the invention. The proposed cladding protects only the sides of the bottle, but not their head area, the bottle shoulders, against solar radiation. Nevertheless, safe gas extraction is guaranteed: The lining only protects those bottle areas from the sun whose heating must be avoided for safety reasons. In a bottle battery, for example, the bottles are vertical. Without any sun protection, the bottles that are directly exposed to sunlight would be heated, while the bottles arranged in the shade of these bottles would not be heated. Uneven heating of different bottles, e.g. connected in the form of a bundle or a battery to a common sampling line, however, is not permitted since the exploxable gas would be withdrawn in different quantities from the individual bottles. This effect must be suppressed for security reasons.

Der Entwicklung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung liegt nun dies bezüglich die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß der Kritische Bereich, der vor Sonneneinstrahlung unbedingt zu schützen ist, der der Flaschenflanken ist. Werden alle Flaschenflanken, die sich an der Außenseite z.B. eines Bündels befinden, durch eine Verkleidung geschützt, so wird eine direkte Erwärmung dieser der Sonne ausgesetzten Flaschenflanken durch die Wärmestrahlung der Sonne verhindert. Alle Flaschen, die an eine gemeinsame Sammelleitung angeschlossen sind, nehmen dann aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Verkleidung dasselbe Temperaturniveau an.The development of the device according to the invention is now based on the knowledge that the critical area that must be protected from solar radiation is that of the bottle flanks. Are all sides of the bottle located on the outside e.g. of a bundle, protected by a cladding, direct heating of these bottle flanks exposed to the sun is prevented by the heat radiation of the sun. All bottles which are connected to a common collecting line then assume the same temperature level due to the lining according to the invention.

Im Unterschied zu herkömmlichen Schutzvorrichtungen wird jedoch auf einen Schutz der Flaschenschultern gegen Sonneneinstrahlung völlig verzichtet. Da die Flaschenschultern aller an eine gemeinsame Entnahmeleitung angeschlossenen Flaschen in einer Ebene angeordnet sind, kann eine ungleichmäßige Erwärmung der Flaschenschultern durch Sonneneinstrahlung nicht erfolgen.In contrast to conventional protective devices, there is no need to protect the bottle shoulders against solar radiation. Since the bottle shoulders of all bottles connected to a common extraction line are arranged on one level, the bottle shoulders cannot be heated unevenly by sunlight.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es sogar von besonderem Vorteil, daß die Flaschenschultern bei Sonnenschein erwärmt werden, da unter den Gesichtspunkten einer Weitgehenden Entleerung der Flaschen und der Garantie einer bestimmten Entnahmemenge pro Zeiteinheit eine möglichst hohe Temperatur der Flaschen erstrebenswert ist.According to the invention, it is even of particular advantage that the bottle shoulders are warmed up when the sun is shining, since the highest possible temperature of the bottles is desirable from the point of view of largely emptying the bottles and guaranteeing a certain withdrawal quantity per unit of time.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung erübrigt sich die Errichtung eines Daches zum Schult von im Freien aufgestellten Flaschen vor Sonneneinstrahlung. Die Kosten einer erfindungsgemäßen Verkleidung sind erheblich geringer als die eines Daches. Zudem bietet die erfindungsgemäße vorrichtung häufig den Vorteil einer besseren Entleerung der Flaschen und dadurch eine günstigere Flaschenausnutzung.The device according to the invention eliminates the need to erect a roof to train bottles placed outdoors in the presence of sunlight. The cost of a cladding according to the invention is considerably lower than that of a roof. In addition, the device according to the invention often offers the advantage of better emptying of the bottles and thereby cheaper use of the bottle.

Eine geeignete und konstruktiv besonders einfache erfindungsgemäße Schutzvorrichtung besteht darin, daß Abschirmflächen an Holmen angebracht sind, die einen Rahmen bilden und um die zu einem Bündel zusammengefaßten Gasflaschen herum angeordnet sind.A suitable and structurally particularly simple protective device according to the invention consists in that shielding surfaces are attached to bars which form a frame and are arranged around the gas cylinders combined into a bundle.

Eine besonders gute Entleerung der Flaschen ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dann gegeben, wenn die Verkleidung, d.h. die Abschirmflächen, im Bereich der Flaschenfüße Öffnungen besitzt. In diesem Fall ist eine vertikale Anordung der Flaschen erforderlich. Befinden sich Öffnungen in der Verkleidung, so wirkt diese als Thermikkanal. Bei Sonneneinwirkung tritt Luft durch die Öffnungen eine und strömt in Form einer vertikal nach oben gerichteten Luftströmung innerhalb der Verkleidung an den Flaschen entlang. Durch die Wirkung als Thermikkanal erfolgt eine besserer Wärmeübergang von der Außenluft an die Flaschenmäntel.A particularly good emptying of the bottles is given according to an advantageous embodiment of a device according to the invention if the cladding, i.e. the shielding surfaces in the area of the bottle feet has openings. In this case, the bottles must be arranged vertically. If there are openings in the cladding, this acts as a thermal channel. When the sun comes in, air enters through the openings and flows along the bottles in the form of a vertically upward air flow inside the casing. Due to the effect as a thermal channel, there is better heat transfer from the outside air to the bottle jacket.

Im Hinblick auf eine. Anwendung der Erfindung ist zu erwähnen, daß es bekannt ist, mehrere Flaschen- Bündel zu einem Trailer zusammenzufassen. In diesem Fall ist es ausreichend, lediglich die Außenseiten des Trailers in dere erfindungsgemäßen Weise mit einer Verkleidung zu versehen.With a view to. Application of the invention is to be mentioned that it is known to combine several bundles of bottles into a trailer. In this case, it is sufficient to provide only the outside of the trailer with a covering in the manner according to the invention.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht die Verkleidung wenigstens auf der den Flaschen Abgewandten Seite aus einem Wärmestrahlung reflektierenden Material. Hierbei werden die Flaschenflanken besonders wirkungsvoll vor Sonneneinstrahlung geschützt. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich eine aus Aluminium bestehende Verkleidung mit glänzender Oberfläche bewährt.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lining consists of a material reflecting heat radiation at least on the side facing away from the bottles. The bottle flanks are particularly effectively protected from the sun's rays. A cladding made of aluminum with a glossy surface has proven particularly advantageous.

Im folgenden soll anhand einer schematisch Skizze ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung erläutert werden.An exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention is to be explained below on the basis of a schematic sketch.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel soll Acetylen, das zusammen mit einem in einer porösen Masse verteilten Lösungsmittel unter Druck in z.B. 16 Flaschen 1 gespeichert ist, entnommen werden. Die 16 Flaschen sind zu einem Acetylenbündel mit etwa quadratischer Grundfläche zusammengefaßt. Alle Flaschen sind über nicht dargestellte Flaschenventile und Schläuche an eine ebenenfalls nicht dargestellte Sammelleitung angeschlossen. Diese 16 Flaschen sind einer im Ausführungsbeispiel mit aus vier rechteckigen Aluminiumblechen (2) bestehenden Abschirmflächen umgeben. Die Bleche besitzen auf ihrer Außenseite eine glänzende Oberfläche. Im Bereich der Flaschenfüße sind Öffnungen (3) in den Verkleidungsblechen (2) ausgespart, über die Luft in den Innenraum der Verkleidung einströmen kann. Die Verkleidung endet im Bereich der Flaschenschultern. Die Bleche (2) sind an einem aus Tragholmen gebildeten Rahmen (8) befestigt.In the exemplary embodiment, acetylene which, together with a solvent distributed in a porous mass, is said to be under pressure in e.g. 16 bottles 1 is stored, can be removed. The 16 bottles are combined into an acetylene bundle with an approximately square base. All bottles are connected to a manifold (not shown) via bottle valves and hoses, not shown. In the exemplary embodiment, these 16 bottles are surrounded by shielding surfaces consisting of four rectangular aluminum sheets (2). The sheets have a shiny surface on the outside. In the area of the bottle feet there are openings (3) in the cladding plates (2) through which air can flow into the interior of the cladding. The panel ends in the area of the bottle shoulders. The sheets (2) are fastened to a frame (8) formed from support bars.

Ein derartig ausgerüstetes Flaschenbündel kann nun ohne weitere Schutzmaßnahmen gegen Sonneneinwirkung im Freien aufgestellt werden. Seitlich auf das Flaschenbündel auftreffende Sonnenstrahlung (symbolisiert durch Pfeile 7) wird reflektiert, so daß eine Erwärmung der auf dieser Seite stehenden Flaschen über deren Flaschenflanken nicht stattfindet. Dagegen werden die Flaschenschultern durch Sonnenstrahlung (symbolisiert durch Pfeile 6) erwärmt. Die Flaschenschultern aller Flaschen werden gleichmäßig erwärmt, so daß diese Erwärmung nicht unzulässig ist, sondern vielmehr erwünscht. Durch die Sonneneinstrahlung entsteht ein Thermikeffekt. Luft aus der Umgebung des Flaschenbündels wird über die Öffnungen (3) in den Innenraum der Verkleidung gesogen (Pfeile 4). Diese Luft bewegt sich in Form einer vertikal nach oben gerichteten Luftströmung an den Flaschen (1) entlang zum Bereich der Flaschenschultern und tritt aus dem Flaschenbündel aus (Pfeile 5).A bundle of bottles equipped in this way can now be installed outdoors without any further protective measures against the effects of the sun. Solar radiation incident on the side of the bottle bundle (symbolized by arrows 7) is reflected, so that the bottles standing on this side do not heat up over their bottle flanks. In contrast, the bottle shoulders are heated by solar radiation (symbolized by arrows 6). The bottle shoulders of all bottles are heated evenly so that this heating is not inadmissible, but rather desirable. The thermal radiation creates a thermal effect. Air from the vicinity of the bottle bundle is sucked into the interior of the casing via the openings (3) (arrows 4). This air moves in the form of a vertically upward air flow along the bottles (1) to the area of the bottle shoulders and emerges from the bottle bundle (arrows 5).

Neben der Wärmeeinwirkung durch dirkete Sonneneinstrahlung (Pfeile 6) wird so der konvektive Wärmeübergang von der Außenluft an die Flaschenmäntel verbessert.In addition to the heat caused by direct sunlight (arrows 6), the convective heat transfer from the outside air to the bottle jackets is improved.
