- F17C2270/05—Applications for industrial use
Definitions
- the present invention relates to an installation and a method of supplying helium, preferably under liquid or supercritical form, with several lines of production on an industrial site.
- helium in gaseous form is used in many different sectors of industry, especially in the electronics industry, to cool silicon wafers or wafers, commonly called “wafers", or inert circuits printed, for example, or in the glass industry, by example to cool optical fibers during their manufacturing process.
- liquid helium is directly routed to its site of use in a low-capacity storage tank, usually in a tank with a lower volume at 3000 liters, where it can be stored before being sent in gaseous form to a site of use.
- each production line when the site of use includes several production lines each using large amounts of helium gas, the amounts used being variable from one line to another, it is essential to provide as many helium tanks gaseous than production lines, i.e. each production line must be linked, by through an individual pipeline to a its own helium reservoir, for example helium bottles, so that each of said production lines can be powered independently others depending on the helium requirements of the line considered.
- the aim of the present invention is therefore to alleviate the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a method and a helium supply facility which can be works directly on a production site including several production lines or units, operating independently of each other.
- Another object of the present invention is also to allow several lines to be supplied with helium gas of production consuming variable amounts of helium gaseous, from one line to another, in a flexible manner, that is to say according to each one's own needs of said lines and therefore independently of variations in consumption of said lines, each with respect to other.
- Figure 1 shows a general diagram of a helium supply installation 1 according to this invention.
- the installation 1 of helium supply includes a source 2 of helium, for example a storage tank, having a volume internal capacity of at least 7,000 liters, for example approximately 10,000 liters, which source 2 of helium is connected, via a main pipeline 3, 3a, 3b for routing helium, to a network 4 of several pipes secondary 4a, 4b, 4c, each supplying a line of production 5a, 5b, 5c, in gaseous helium.
- a source 2 of helium for example a storage tank, having a volume internal capacity of at least 7,000 liters, for example approximately 10,000 liters
- source 2 of helium is connected, via a main pipeline 3, 3a, 3b for routing helium, to a network 4 of several pipes secondary 4a, 4b, 4c, each supplying a line of production 5a, 5b, 5c, in gaseous helium.
- helium can be drawn from storage tank 2 in liquid form, through withdrawal means 3, then subsequently vaporized in the heat exchanger 7, either withdrawn directly in gaseous form via the withdrawal means 3b.
- the helium is withdrawn in liquid form or supercritical.
- compression means 10 such as a piston compressor or membranes.
- helium distributed to the different production lines 5a to 5c must have a content of impurities below a certain threshold it is also possible to arrange on line 3 means of purification 9 of helium, for example a filter or a adsorbent.
- the source 2 of helium can be a stationary source of helium, such as a storage tank as well as shown in FIG. 1, a mobile source, for example a helium supply truck, as shown schematically in Figure 2, which Figure 2 is, moreover, substantially identical to FIG. 1.
- Figures 3 to 6 represent, for their part, several possible applications of the installation of supply of helium according to the present invention.
- Figure 3 shows schematically the application of helium supply facility 1 described above when filling gas cylinders 13 Diving.
- Figure 3 shows the same architecture as that of Figures 1 and 2, but includes, in addition, a mixing and homogenizing device 12 arranged on the main line 3, intended to obtain a mixture homogeneous helium gas and one or more other gases from a secondary source 11 of gas, to obtain a respiratory gas mixture which can be used as as breathing gas for diving tank 13.
- a mixing and homogenizing device 12 arranged on the main line 3, intended to obtain a mixture homogeneous helium gas and one or more other gases from a secondary source 11 of gas, to obtain a respiratory gas mixture which can be used as as breathing gas for diving tank 13.
- the diving gas mixture containing helium is then routed to a network 4 of several secondary pipe 4a to 4c supplying each of the filling lines 5a to 5c of gas cylinder 13 diving.
- Figure 4 shows schematically, the implementation work of an installation according to the invention on a site electronic materials manufacturing.
- helium is routed through a pipeline 3 up to a network 4 comprising several lines of production 5a and 5b, such as cooling lines "wafers" or printed circuits.
- the device also includes means of recovery and recycling 14 of helium gaseous used, which helium is recovered then possibly purified within a 9 'unit of prepurification of recycled gas before being returned to main line 3, upstream of the means of purification 9 where the prepurified helium thus recycled undergoes sufficient purification to allow it to be at again returned to production lines 5a and 5b.
- the helium used and recovered by the recycling means 14 contains a content of impurities below a predetermined threshold, it is not not necessarily necessary to subject him to this pre purification and it can then be sent back to the line 3 via the 9 "bypass.
- Figure 5 shows a diagram of an installation according to the invention applied to the supply of helium to manufacturing lines 5a to 5c of optical fibers 17, where helium is used for cooling said fibers 17 as they pass through the cooling chambers 16.
- helium gas can be recovered by outlet of said cooling chambers 16, evacuated via pipes 21 to means of cooling 15 and then sent either directly to the main line 3 via bypass 19, or undergo a prepurification within the means of prepurification 18 installed on line 20.
- Figure 6 shows the application of the helium supply installation of the invention to a unit for manufacturing inflating containers 25 safety cushions or AIRBAG TM.
- a tanker truck 2 with a capacity of at least 20,000 liters supplies directly, liquid helium, the production site of said containers 25 for safety cushions.
- Helium in the form liquid, drawn from source 2 is vaporized in the heater 7, then undergoes, if necessary and so optional, dilution 12 with one or more others gas from a secondary gas source 11, a compression 10, before being sent to network 4 of secondary pipes 4a, 4b, then to be finally introduced into the receptacles 25 for cushions security.
- the installation and the method according to the invention have several advantages, namely that they allow helium to flow directly to the site of use of said helium, said helium being transported in liquid form in containers of very large dimensions, generally over 7000 liters, without necessarily having to undergo a transfer, i.e. of reconditioning, between their initial or production liquefaction and their sites of use.
- vaporization of liquid helium under form of gaseous helium can be carried out directly on the site of use and helium can then undergo possibly a purification before being sent to the production lines where it will be used.
- a minimum flow rate of at least 2 m 3 / h and / or a pressure of 10 5 Pa to 4.10 7 Pa must be observed inside the main pipe 3.
- helium gas can be possibly recovered and recycled, undergoing or not a prepurification is re-used subsequently.
- each of the secondary lines 4a to 4c of the secondary pipe network is connected to only one single source 2 of helium, while being independent one from the other.
- the process and the installation according to the present invention make it possible to obtain a very great flexibility of the different production lines of the process using said helium, that is to say that well that each line is supplied by the same source 2 helium, each of said production lines can obtain the quantity of gaseous helium at any time necessary for its proper functioning.
