Description

DETENDEUR DE GAZ POUR DEBITMETRE GAS REGULATOR FOR FLOW METER
La présente invention concerne les détendeurs de gaz et les dispositifs de mesure de la quantité de gaz notamment d'hydrocarbures qui sort d'une citerne ou autre récipient sous pression.The present invention relates to gas pressure regulators and devices for measuring the quantity of gas, in particular hydrocarbons, which leaves a tank or other pressurized container.
Utiliser un compteur monté directement sur une citerne permet certes de livrer la citerne et son compteur monté à l'avance en usine, mais a l'inconvénient suivant. Le compteur, qui est souvent un compteur à membrane, mesure des volumes de gaz et ceci indépendamment de la densité du gaz. Dans certaines conditions, de fort débit, de température extérieure très basse, de citernes enterrées, la température du gaz peut s'abaisser considérablement et la densité du produit augmenter corrélativement. La société distributrice fournit plus de gaz qu'elle n'en compte.Using a meter mounted directly on a tank certainly allows delivery of the tank and its meter mounted in advance at the factory, but has the following drawback. The meter, which is often a membrane meter, measures gas volumes regardless of the density of the gas. Under certain conditions, high flow, very low outside temperature, underground tanks, the gas temperature can drop considerably and the density of the product increases correspondingly. The distribution company supplies more gas than it counts.
Le brevet allemand n°721 896 y remédie en montant en amont ou en aval d'un compteur volumétrique un clapet déplacé par une membrane soumise aux forces antagonistes de la pression du gaz et de la pression d'un fluide auxiliaire provenant d'un réservoir qui prend la température du gaz. Ce clapet de laminage du gaz a un effet déprimogène, mais il modifie le débit du gaz. Il n'est pas souhaitable pour des raisons d'organisation du travail que le débit et donc la durée du remplissage d'une cuve dépende de la température, d'autant qu'une variation de cette durée est sinon un indice d'anomalie.The German patent n ° 721 896 remedies this by mounting upstream or downstream of a volumetric meter a valve displaced by a membrane subjected to the opposing forces of the gas pressure and the pressure of an auxiliary fluid coming from a reservoir. which takes the temperature of the gas. This gas rolling valve has a depressive effect, but it modifies the gas flow rate. It is not desirable for reasons of work organization that the flow rate and therefore the duration of filling a tank depends on the temperature, especially as a variation of this duration is otherwise an indication of anomaly.
L'invention remédie à cet inconvénient par un détendeur de gaz comprenant des moyens pour abaisser la pression d'un courant gazeux à une pression de consigne, tout en en conservant le débit. Suivant l'invention, on fait varier la pression de détente dans le détendeur en fonction soit de la température du gaz soit de la température ambiante. On commande ainsi le dernier étage de détente situé juste avant le compteur autour de son point de consigne nominal par un dispositif asservi par la température du gaz et agencé de telle sorte que la variation de pression compense les variations de densité engendrées par les variations de température. C'est ainsi que, lorsque le gaz est très froid et donc très dense, on abaisse la pression de détente, de manière à compenser l'augmentation de densité, inversement, lorsque la température s'élève, on augmente la pression de détente de l'étage final de détente qui se trouve juste en amont du compteur.The invention overcomes this drawback with a gas pressure regulator comprising means for lowering the pressure of a gas stream to a set pressure, while maintaining the flow rate. According to the invention, the expansion pressure in the pressure reducer is varied as a function either of the temperature of the gas or of the ambient temperature. The last expansion stage located just before the counter around its nominal setpoint is thus controlled by a device controlled by the temperature of the gas and arranged so that the pressure variation compensates for the density variations caused by the temperature variations. Thus, when the gas is very cold and therefore very dense, the expansion pressure is lowered, so as to compensate for the increase in density, conversely, when the temperature rises, the expansion pressure is increased by the final trigger stage which is just upstream of the counter.
L'invention vise également un dispositif de mesure notamment monté sur une citerne comprenant un détendeur de gaz suivant l'invention en amont d'un compteur apte à mesurer le volume de gaz qui y passe. De préférence, le détendeur de gaz comprend un corps subdivisé par une membrane en un premier compartiment, dans lequel un ressort applique une force à la membrane, et en un second compartiment, dans lequel débouche une tubulure d'entrée et une tubulure de sortie et dans lequel est monté un mécanisme, à clapet et siège, de régulation en fonction de la position de la membrane soumise à la pression du gaz régnant dans le second compartiment. Les moyens destinés à modifier la pression de consigne comprennent un soufflet en contact avec le ressort et alimenté en un fluide aisément dilatable ou un gaz liquéfié qui peut être de même nature que le gaz à mesurer venant d'une capsule placée dans la tubulure d'entrée ou à l'extérieur du détendeur et soumise à la température ambiante.The invention also relates to a measuring device in particular mounted on a tank comprising a gas pressure regulator according to the invention upstream of a counter capable of measuring the volume of gas passing through it. Preferably, the gas pressure regulator comprises a body subdivided by a membrane into a first compartment, in which a spring applies a force to the membrane, and into a second compartment, into which opens an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe and in which is mounted a mechanism, with valve and seat, of regulation as a function of the position of the membrane subjected to the pressure of the gas prevailing in the second compartment. The means intended to modify the set pressure include a bellows in contact with the spring and supplied with an easily expandable fluid or a liquefied gas which may be of the same nature as the gas to be measured coming from a capsule placed in the tubing. inlet or outside of the regulator and subject to ambient temperature.
La figure unique du dessin annexé illustre un dispositif de mesure suivant l'invention.The single figure of the accompanying drawing illustrates a measuring device according to the invention.
Dans la vue en coupe schématique représentée à la figure, on reconnaît un corps 1 de détendeur, qui définit un premier compartiment 2 et un second compartiment 3 séparés l'un de l'autre par une coupelle 4 bordée d'une membrane 5 élastique. Le compartiment 3 communique par une tubulure 6 de sortie avec un compteur 7. Elle communique également avec une tubulure 8 d'entrée menant à l'intérieur d'une citerne qui n'est pas représentée. Dans le second compartiment 3 est monté un levier 9 qui est solidarisé à la coupelle 4 par un bras 10 et qui porte à son extrémité libre un clapet 1 , le montage étant tel que le clapet se rapproche d'un siège 12 et s'en écarte, selon que la coupelle 4 et la membrane 5 se relèvent ou s'abaissent.In the schematic sectional view shown in the figure, there is a body 1 of regulator, which defines a first compartment 2 and a second compartment 3 separated from each other by a cup 4 bordered by an elastic membrane 5. The compartment 3 communicates by an outlet pipe 6 with a counter 7. It also communicates with an inlet pipe 8 leading to the interior of a tank which is not shown. In the second compartment 3 is mounted a lever 9 which is secured to the cup 4 by an arm 10 and which carries at its free end a valve 1, the assembly being such that the valve approaches a seat 12 and is spreads, depending on whether the cup 4 and the membrane 5 are raised or lowered.
Dans la tubulure 8 est prévue une capsule 13 contenant un fluide ou un gaz liquéfié qui peut être de même nature que le gaz présent dans la citerne. La capsule 13 pourrait être aussi à l'extérieur du détendeur en étant soumise à la température ambiante. Un capillaire 14 met la capsule en communication avec l'intérieur d'un soufflet 15 qui est en contact, par son front 16, avec la spire supérieure d'un ressort 17, dont la spire inférieure s'applique à la coupelle 4.In the pipe 8 is provided a capsule 13 containing a fluid or a liquefied gas which may be of the same nature as the gas present in the tank. The capsule 13 could also be outside the regulator while being subjected to ambient temperature. A capillary 14 places the capsule in communication with the interior of a bellows 15 which is in contact, through its front 16, with the upper turn of a spring 17, the lower turn of which applies to the cup 4.
Si le gaz passant dans le conduit 8 est très froid, la capsule 13 se refroidit et le gaz qui y est contenu applique une pression moindre au soufflet 15, lequel repousse moins le ressort 17 qui à son tour tend à appliquer une force moindre à la coupelle 4 et à la membrane 5. Il règne ainsi une pression moindre dans le compartiment 3, en sorte que le volume de gaz compté par le compteur 7 l'est sous une pression moindre, le débit restant constant. If the gas passing through the conduit 8 is very cold, the capsule 13 cools and the gas contained therein applies less pressure to the bellows 15, which repels less the spring 17 which in turn tends to apply less force to the cup 4 and the membrane 5. There is thus a lower pressure in the compartment 3, so that the volume of gas counted by the counter 7 is under less pressure, the flow remaining constant.
