Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for liquid cryogenic mixture of the type comprising a reservoir in which is disposed a duct forming a heat exchanger which crosses the neck of the reservoir and the inlet of which is connected to the lower part of the reservoir by means of a member for creating a pressure drop, a line for drawing off the liquid mixture, and a pressure rise circuit.
  • Containers of the aforementioned type have been proposed to avoid such a change in the composition of the liquid.
  • the internal pressure of the tank exceeds the outlet pressure of the heat exchanger by a quantity predetermined by the member creating a pressure drop, a certain quantity of liquid passes through the latter and, being reduced to a lower pressure, vaporizes then heats up by taking the corresponding heat from the container.
  • the heat inputs are thus compensated without venting the gaseous phase, at the cost of a small liquid leak, and the composition of the liquid remains practically constant throughout the emptying of the container.
  • the product leakage is of the same order as that which results from the venting of the gas phase, mentioned above.
  • the tank must include, in addition to the liquid withdrawal line and the cooling circuit comprising the exchanger, at least one filling line and, when the tank is intended to be filled with liquid mixture already prepared, a circuit circulation of an auxiliary refrigerant ensuring sub-cooling of the liquid mixture, and therefore an absence of distillation, during filling.
  • the invention aims to solve this problem by simplifying the structure of the tank.
  • the invention relates to a container of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the line for drawing off the liquid mixture is connected to the outlet of the heat exchanger, so that all of the liquid drawn off passes through this exchanger .
  • the heat exchanger extends over almost the entire height of the tank.
  • the invention also relates to a method for withdrawing a liquid cryogenic mixture from a container comprising a reservoir in which is disposed a duct forming a heat exchanger which crosses the neck of the reservoir and the inlet of which is connected to the lower part. of the reservoir via a member for creating a pressure drop, characterized in that the liquid is drawn off exclusively through said duct forming heat exchanger.
  • the container shown comprises an internal tank 1 with a capacity of 100 to 200 liters, for example, and an external envelope 2 (not shown in FIG. 1) separated by a vacuum space 3.
  • the tank 1 has an upper neck 4 closed by a removable head 5.
  • Line 7 ends at an intermediate level in the neck 4, while the other three lines 10, 13 and 15 extend downwards approximately to the level of the connection of the neck 4 and the reservoir 1.
  • the pipe 10 is connected to the inlet of a heat exchange coil 19, the outlet of which is in turn connected to the inlet of the pipe 13.
  • the pipe 15 is connected to the upper end of a second heat exchange coil 20 which extends to the bottom of the tank 1, where its lower end is fitted with a calibrated valve 21.
  • the coil 20 Over the entire height occupied by the coil 19, the coil 20 has a reduced diameter and is disposed therein. Below the coil 19, the coil 20 takes a larger diameter, substantially equal to that of the coil 19 and slightly less than the inside diameter of the neck 4.
  • the head 5, comprising the flange 6, the pipes 7, 10, 13 and 15 and the two coils 19 and 20, forms a removable monobloc assembly which can be fixed on the tank by threading the two coils in the neck and fixing the flange 6 with screws on a flange 22 provided at the entrance to the neck 4, with the interposition of a seal 23.
  • valve 21 rests on the bottom of the tank 1 by slightly compressing the coil 20.
  • a cryogenic liquid mixture to be stored for example a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen with 22% oxygen (that is to say practically liquid air), is introduced in rain, under the storage pressure. (for example 10 to 20 bars), via line 7.
  • liquid nitrogen circulates in line 10 and the coil 19, and escapes in the gaseous state via line 13, to ensure that the pressure during these filling operations, and in particular if the tank is initially hot, does not exceed the maximum tolerated value, without the need to vent some of the vapor phase or liquid phase of the mixture.
  • the inevitable heat inputs cause some vaporization of the liquid and an increase in pressure.
  • the latter exceeds the opening pressure of the valve 16 by a predetermined value corresponding to the setting of the valve 21 (for example 2 bars), the latter opens and a small amount of liquid passes through the coil 20.
  • valve 17 When: it is desired to draw off liquid, the valve 17 is opened, which puts the line 15 in communication with the operating circuit (not shown), connected to the connector 18.
  • the operating circuit is assumed to be at a pressure lower than the storage pressure by an amount greater than the pressure drop imposed by the valve 21.
  • the pressure regulator 31 opens, liquid passes through the butt 28 into the vaporizer 29, and the vapor thus produced is returned by the pipe 30 in the neck 4 of the tank, until the set pressure is restored. Due to the speed of circulation of the fluid in the circuit 27, the vapor reinjected into the neck 4 has the same composition as the liquid withdrawn by the butt 28.
  • the fact of withdrawing the liquid through the coil 20 minimizes the number of pipes to be provided, which makes it possible to pass all the necessary pipes through the neck of the reservoir, even if the latter is narrow.
  • the invention can thus easily be adapted to existing small containers of relatively reduced capacity.
  • valve 21 can be replaced by another member capable of creating a pressure drop, for example by a capillary tube or a sintered element.
  • the container described above has circuit 10-19-13 because it was assumed that it was filled with the liquid mixture already prepared.
  • the mixing can also be carried out in the container itself, in the following manner: the necessary quantity of the most volatile liquid (for example liquid nitrogen) is poured, which ensures that the container is cooled and the equilibrium of nitrogen under atmospheric pressure at 77 K; in an external condenser, which may be common to a set of receptacles, the other constituent (s) of the mixture (for example liquid oxygen) is sub-cooled to the same temperature (for example in a coil immersed in nitrogen liquid), then pour it into the container.
  • the circuit 10-19-13 is no longer necessary, and as a result the removable head 5 of the reservoir 1 no longer has more than two pipes passing through the flange 6, namely lines 7 and 15, and the structure of the tank is further simplified.
