Definitions

  • a vessel relief to atmospheric pressure is necessary after the liquid inlet or the filling phase has ended.
  • liquids such as sparkling wine or soft drinks, which, because of their relatively high CO2 content, do not have ideal filling properties, particularly when these liquids are to be filled at relatively high temperatures from an economic point of view, or expansion of the bottled liquid to avoid relaxation.
  • the relief to atmospheric pressure must be carried out in stages so that the actual relief to atmospheric pressure is preceded by a preliminary relief phase.
  • a method of the type mentioned above is the subject of the older EP-A-0 291 971.
  • a pressure is brought into effect in the vessel in a preceding calming phase, which corresponds to the saturation pressure of the liquid to be filled or this is approximated so that there is no escape of CO2 gas and thus the desired calming of the filled liquid is achieved in the respective vessel.
  • the filled vessel is pulled off the filling element used for filling, it is then necessary to relieve the atmospheric pressure from the relatively high pressure used in the calming phase.
  • This final discharge to atmospheric pressure must be carried out gently, in particular to avoid that in the filling material not bound or only loosely bound CO2 gas, which is released during the discharge from atmospheric pressure, does not cause the bottled liquid to become so disturbed that the filled bottles overflow.
  • the filling phase is ended by closing the liquid valve of the filling element used when a liquid level has been reached in the vessel to be filled, at which the lower end of a return gas tube is immersed in the filled liquid.
  • the return gas tube is connected to an annular chamber which has a pressure which is slightly less than the filling pressure prevailing in the liquid container.
  • An amount of liquid (after-run liquid) present above the lower end of the return gas pipe is then discharged from the bottle into the annular chamber via this return gas pipe and the connection thereafter.
  • the aim of this measure is to correct the fill level obtained after the completion of the filling phase to a predetermined target fill level.
  • the wake-up liquid is then either pumped back into the tank of the single-chamber counter-pressure filler or returned to the next bottle to be filled.
  • the respective vessel is not relieved to a pressure that is substantially below the filling pressure. Rather, the pressure in the annular chamber must be set very high, that is to say only slightly below the filling pressure and in any case above the saturation pressure, in order to avoid loosening or releasing carbon dioxide when the follow-up liquid is discharged into the chamber and also to prevent that when returning the wake liquid in the ring boiler the liquid there is disturbed, or the liquid arriving there is disturbed when the trailing liquid is returned to a bottle.
  • the object of the invention is to demonstrate a method and a device with which liquids which have very different filling properties in an economical manner can be optimally filled.
  • the subject of the invention is a method according to claim 1 or an apparatus for performing this method according to claim 10 or 11 or 13.
  • the pre-relief pressure can also be kept very low in the method according to the invention, the risk of foaming of the filled liquid and of escape of this liquid being avoided during the final discharge to atmospheric pressure.
  • the method according to the invention is suitable for filling vessels with counter-pressure filling machines in a single or multi-chamber construction, the respective filling element used for filling including a gas path or return gas path for the gas flowing out of the vessel during the vessel relief phase and a chamber provided with an outlet to the atmosphere which, at least during the pre-relief phase, is connected to the gas path or return gas path.
  • the pre-relief pressure can be optimally adapted to the often very different filling properties of the liquid to be filled with such a filling machine. In this case, it is above all ensured that the same pre-relief pressure is effective with each pre-relief, that is to say reproducible conditions.
  • the CO2 saturation pressure is about 3.0 bar
  • a filling pressure of 6.5 bar is used
  • the pre-relief pressure can be reduced to 0.8 bar with a pre-relief time of about 1.5 seconds without there is foaming or escaping of sparkling wine in or out of the respective bottle, despite the relatively high filling temperature of 15 ° C.
  • the saturation pressure or CO2 saturation pressure in the sense of the invention is that pressure at which there is still no rise in carbon dioxide bubbles in a liquid at a certain CO2 content and a certain temperature.
  • the pressure conditions are preferably regulated so that the pressure set in the chamber or regulated pre-relief pressure is still between the atmospheric pressure and the saturation pressure and is preferably below the saturation pressure, but at the same time also between the filling pressure and a critical pressure of the throttle device. This also makes it possible to optimize the filling speed with respect to the filling properties of the liquid to be filled without changing the throttle device.
  • the critical pressure is the pressure in the chamber above which the volume flow of the return gas flowing through the throttle device during the filling phase has a pressure-dependent profile.
