Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a method of adding an odorant to a conduit system for gas, comprising addition of the odorant to a carrier gas subsequently added to the conduit system.
  • the invention also refers to an apparatus for adding an odorant to a conduit system for gas, comprising a conduit member extending from a first source of a carrier gas and a second source of an odorant to the conduit system and being arranged to enable the addition of the odorant to the carrier gas subsequently being added to the conduit system.
  • the invention is especially but not exclusively applicable to the case when there is a consumer of relatively large quantities of gas and it is desirable to provide a system for warning persons in the area of the consumer if this gas is leaking to the surroundings.
  • a warning system may include the addition of a relatively strong odorant, being sweet-smelling or nasty-smelling, to the gas so that leakage at an early stage may be detected by persons staying in the neighbourhood of the consumer or the conduit system which is used for the supply of gas to the consumer.
  • the odorant has a very high concentration , i.e. merely a very small quantity of odorant needs to be added in order to obtain a strong odour effect. This is the case, for instance, when dimethylsulphide, DMS, is used as an odorant. Because of this it is difficult to add the odorant in a quantity precisely dosed in relation to the consumer gas. In order to solve this problem it is known to first mix the odorant with a diluting gas, for example carbon dioxide or oxygen, to a so called master gas before the odorant may be added to the consumer gas.
  • a diluting gas for example carbon dioxide or oxygen
  • WO-A-9 006 170 discloses a method for adding an odorant to a consumer gas to be distributed to a consumer. According to this method the odorant is dissolved in condensed carbon dioxide in a pressure container which will contain a liquid phase as well as a gas phase. Thereafter, merely the liquid phase of the mixture of carbon dioxide and the odorant is discharged from the vessel and prior to adding the mixture to the consumer gas said mixture is vaporized.
  • EP-B-533 670 discloses a similar method for adding an odorant to a consumer gas, said consumer gas being oxygen.
  • DE-A-4 317 395 discloses another method of adding an odorant to a consumer gas, utilizing a buffer volume for the consumer gas in such a manner that, when the pressure in the buffer volume decreases below a predetermined lowest level, consumer gas is supplied until the pressure has increased to a predetermined highest level.
  • the odorant is added to the consumer gas by means of a dosage pump and an injector during the supply of consumer gas to the buffer volume.
  • WO-A-9 424 480 discloses a further method of adding an odorant to a consumer gas.
  • This document seeks a solution to the problem of dosing the quantity of the odorant added.
  • a carrier gas is conducted through a container having an odorant in a liquid state in a lower part of the container and in a saturated gaseous state in an upper part of the container. In this way a mixture of the carrier gas and the odorant is obtained and this mixture thereafter is added to the consumer gas.
  • JP-A-60255893 discloses a even further method for adding an odorizing agent in a liquid state to a carrier gas.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the disadvantages mentioned above and develop an improved method of adding an odorant to a consumer gas.
  • the invention aims at a method and an apparatus, respectively, which enables a precise dosage of odorant and simultaneously reduces the cost.
  • This object is obtained by the method initially defined and is characterized in that the odorant and the carrier gas are supplied to a buffer container, that the odorant is vaporized to be in a gaseous state in the buffer container and forms a gas mixture together with the carrier gas, and that gas mixture present in the buffer container is supplied to the conduit system. Consequently, a method is obtained by means of which it is possible to produce a gas mixture, having such a concentration that it may added to the gas at a precise dosage, in situ, i.e. where the odorant is to be added to the gas. Furthermore, the difficult handling of a great number of containers with preproduced master gas is avoided, since the odorant to be mixed with the carrier gas may have a concentration of 100%.
  • the odorant supplied to the buffer container is discharged from a source in which it is in a liquid state and that the treatment of the odorant comprises vaporization thereof.
  • the odorant may be vaporized before being added to the carrier gas, and that the odorant vaporized together with the carrier gas are supplied to the buffer container, the carrier gas being given such a temperature that the odorant remains in a gaseous state when contacting the carrier gas.
  • such a vaporization before the buffer container is easy to perform since the gas quantity is relatively small and the risk that the odorant would be in a liquid state in the buffer container decreases, which otherwise may result in a deteriorated dosage accuracy.
  • the temperature and the pressure of the gas mixture are maintained at such a level that the odorant does not condense but remains in a gaseous state.
  • the amount of the odorant added to the carrier gas is always smaller than the amount resulting in a saturated gas mixture at the actual pressure and temperature.
  • the odorant and the carrier gas are supplied to the buffer container when the pressure therein has reached a smallest first level and that the supply is interrupted when the pressure has reached a highest second level.
  • the supply of the odorant and the carrier gas to the buffer container may be performed in such a manner that the gas from a source of carrier gas is divided into two subflows, one relatively small subflow pressurizing the odorant and transporting the odorant to the carrier gas forming the second relatively big subflow, the odorant and the carrier gas being subjected to the same pressure before the supply to the buffer container.
  • the carrier gas may essentially consist of argon, nitrogen, air or a mixture of at least two of these gases.
  • the odorant may preferably be dimethylsulphide (DMS) or tetrahydrothiophen (THT).
  • the conduit member comprises a buffer container, arranged to store a mixture of the carrier gas and the odorant, an inlet side, arranged to connect the first and second sources to the buffer container, and an outlet side arranged to connect the buffer container to the conduit system.
  • Fig 1 of the drawing discloses an apparatus for adding an odorant to a gas.
  • the gas conduit 1 may be a part of a conduit system for the supply of, for instance, oxygen to an oxygen consumer.
  • the invention is applicable also to other gases, for example odourless, toxic gases or combustible gases such as natural gas, propane, butane, town gas etc.
  • the gas conduit 1 comprises an injector 2, through which a gas mixture containing an odorant may be added from an apparatus to be described more closely below, and a flow measuring device for enabling a precise dosage of the quantity of the gas mixture added in relation to the quantity of gas flowing through the gas conduit 1.
  • Essentially pure odorant e.g. dimethylsulphide, DMS
  • a carrier gas to be mixed with the odorant prior to the addition to the gas in the gas conduit is supplied from a source which in the example disclosed consists of replaceable pressure containers 5 of standard type.
  • the carrier gas may also be supplied directly from a stationary plant for production of such carrier gas.
  • the carrier gas should be available with a relatively high pressure, preferably of about 20-35 bar.
  • any more or less inert gas such as argon or nitrogen, may be used as carrier gas.
  • carbon dioxide may be utilized as carrier gas.
  • the carrier gas may also consist of a mixture of two or more of these gases.
  • a first conduit 6 connecting the pressure container 5 to a joining member 7, a second conduit 8 connecting the storage container 4 to the joining member 7 and a third conduit 9 connecting a joining member 7 to a buffer container 10.
  • the joining member 7 comprises a three-way joint permitting gas flow from each of the conduits 6 and 8 to the conduit 9.
  • the first conduit 6 is directly connected to the storage container 4 via a fifth further conduit 12.
  • a heating device 13 arranged to heat the carrier gas to a temperature of about 30-40°C.
  • conduit 8 passes through another part of the heating device 13 arranged to heat the odorant to the vaporization temperature and vaporize the odorant discharged in liquid state from the storage container 4.
  • the heating device 13 may comprise two separate heating members, one for the first conduit 6 and one for the second conduit 8.
  • an enclosure 14 comprising a heat insulating material.
  • the buffer container 10, the joining member 7, the heating device, the third conduit 9 and parts of the conduits 6, 8, 11 and 12 are disposed within the heat insulating enclosure 14.
  • a further heating device 15 is provided within the enclosure 14 for maintaining the temperature of about 30-40°C in the enclosure 14.
  • a pressure sensor 16 for sensing the pressure in the buffer container 10, and a flow measuring device 17 for sensing the flow through the fourth conduit 11, and a temperature sensor 18 for sensing the temperature in the enclosure 14.
  • a pressure sensor 16 for sensing the pressure in the buffer container 10
  • a flow measuring device 17 for sensing the flow through the fourth conduit 11
  • a temperature sensor 18 for sensing the temperature in the enclosure 14.
  • the pressure sensor 16, the flow measuring device 17, the temperature sensor 18 and the flow measuring device 3 are connected to an electronic control unit 19.
  • valve members are provided as is disclosed in Fig 1.
  • the valve members shall now be described more closely.
  • a manual shut-off valve 20 provided on the first conduit 6.
  • a valve device 21 activatable by the control unit 19 and enabling closing of the first conduit 6 and comprising air-venting means as a security measurement in case of back-flow in the system.
  • a pressure regulating valve 22 is provided to reduce the pressure of the carrier gas from the pressure container 5 so that a pressure of about 20-35 bar is maintained.
  • first conduit 6 and second conduit 8 comprise a respective throttle valve 27 and 28 which are arranged to throttle the flow through the respective conduit in order to regulate the amount of gas flowing therethrough.
  • the throttling valves 27 and 28 may in the most uncomplicated embodiment comprise fixed throttlings so that a fixed predetermined quantity relation is obtained or be adjustable to different throttling degrees.
  • the apparatus functions in the following way.
  • the carrier gas in the pressure containers 5 is subjected to a relatively high pressure, up to 300 bar.
  • a manual valve 20 When odorant is to be supplied to the buffer container 10 a manual valve 20, a passage through the valve device 21 and the valves 23, 24 and 26 are opened. Thereby, carrier gas under high pressure will flow through the first conduit 6 and the fifth conduit 12, and force liquid odorant out of the storage container 4 through the conduit 8.
  • the liquid odorant is vaporized by means of the heating device 13 before it is supplied to the carrier gas at the joining member 7.
  • the carrier gas also may be somewhat heated by means of the heating device 13.
  • the control unit 19 will initiate closing of at least the valves 23, 24.
  • the valve 25 When the valve 25 is open the gas mixture of odorant and carrier gas will flow through the fourth conduit 11 and the injector 2 into the gas conduit 1 and be mixed with the gas flowing through the gas conduit 1. Due to this discharge of the gas mixture the pressure in the buffer container 10 decreases and when the pressure has reached a predetermined lowest level, for example 15 bar, the control unit 19 once again initiates the opening of the valves 23, 24, thereby starting a new filling of the buffer container.
  • valve 25 also may be open during filling of the buffer container 10.
  • the addition of odorant to the gas in the gas conduit 1 may be performed continuously whereas the filling of the buffer container 10 is performed discontinuously or intermittent.
  • the quantity of the gas mixture of odorant and carrier gas supplied to the gas conduit 1 may be controlled by means of the valve 25 and the control unit 19 in such a manner that a precise dosage is obtained.
  • the further heating device 15 such a temperature in the enclosure 14 and buffer container 10 is maintained that the condensing of the odorant in the buffer container 10 is prevented, for instance between 30 and 40°C.
  • the invention is applicable also to other odorants than DMS, for example tetrahydrothiophen, THT.
