Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für den Transport und die Lagerung von komprimierten Gasen, welche bei einem Druck von 50 bis 300 bar noch in gasförmigem Aggregatzustand vorliegen. Sie besteht aus einem geschlossenen Gasbehälter, der mit Anschlüssen zur Befüllung und Entleerung ausgestattet ist und einem Standgestell, in dem der Gasbehälter lösbar fixiert ist und mittels welchem der Gasbehälter auf der Ladefläche von Schiffen, Bahnwaggons oder Lastkraftwagen transportierbar istThe present invention relates to a device for transport and the Storage of compressed gases, which at a pressure of 50 to 300 bar still in gaseous state. It consists of one closed gas tank, with connections for filling and emptying is equipped and a stand frame in which the gas container is releasably fixed and by means of which the gas container in the cargo area of ships, Railway wagons or trucks can be transported

Kugelförmige Vorrichtungen zur Lagerung von Gasen sind bekannt, beispielsweise aus der FR 1 252 196. Hier weist der kugelförmige Speicherbehälter im bodennahen Bereich eine angeschweißte Standvorrichtung mit mehreren Standfüßen auf, welche mit einem Standring verbunden sind. An diesem Standring sind über Laschen Seile befestigt, welche in Umfangsrichtung gleichmäßig verteilt den Speicherbehälter umfassen und mit weiteren Haltelaschen verbunden sind, welche bis nahe an die Befüll- und Entleereinrichtung heranreichen. Auf etwa halber Höhe des Speicherbehälters sind in Umfangsrichtung gleichmäßig verteilt, mehrere Stützen angeschweißt, über welche die Seile geführt sind, wobei ein seitliches Abgleiten durch Gummihülsen verhindert wird, welche über die Stirnflächen von Stäben geschoben sind, die zwischen je zwei Stützen angeordnet sind.Spherical devices for storing gases are known, for example from FR 1 252 196. Here, the spherical storage container in Near-ground area a welded stand device with several Stand feet, which are connected to a stand ring. At this stand ring are attached via tabs ropes, which are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction comprise the storage container and are connected to other retaining tabs, which come close to the filling and emptying. At about half the height of the storage container are distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction, welded several supports over which the ropes are guided, wherein a lateral slipping is prevented by rubber sleeves, which over the End faces of rods are pushed, which are arranged between each two supports are.

Über die gespannten Seile und die angeschweißten Stützen wird auf die Außenfläche des Speicherbehälters in etwa halber Höhe ein Druck ausgeübt, welcher dem Innendruck des gefüllten Speicherbehälters entgegen wirkt. Zusätzlich korrespondiert ein System von Stützen, welches im Inneren des Speicherbehälters angeordnet ist ,mit diesen äußeren Stützen.
Der dargestellte Speicherbehälter ist bekannt für die Lagerung von Flüssigheizgas. Er ist jedoch nicht geeignet zum Transport von Flüssiggas und jedenfalls nicht geeignet zum Transport und zur Lagerung von komprimierten Gasen, welche bei einem Druck von 50 bis 300 bar noch in gasförmigem Aggregatzustand vorliegen Es sind auch Vorrichtungen für den Transport und die Lagerung von komprimierten Gasen, welche bei einem Druck von 50 bis 300 bar noch in gasförmigem Aggregatzustand vorliegen, bekannt. Diese bekannten Vorrichtungen bestehen aus mehreren liegend oder stehend angeordneten Gasflaschen, welche über Stahlbänder, Gurte oder ähnliche Einrichtungen miteinander und mit dem Transportfahrzeug, üblicherweise einem Lastkraftwagen, so verbunden sind, dass eine Lageveränderung einzelner Gasbehälter unterbunden wird. Eine Trennung des Flaschenbündels vom Transportfahrzeug ist in aller Regel nicht möglich. Die einzelnen Gasflaschen sind untereinander teilweise oder vollständig so verbunden, dass eine gemeinsame Befüllung oder Entleerung ermöglicht wird.About the tensioned ropes and the welded supports a pressure is exerted on the outer surface of the storage container at about half the height, which counteracts the internal pressure of the filled storage container. In addition, a system of supports located inside the storage container corresponds to these outer supports.
The storage container shown is known for the storage of liquid heating gas. However, it is not suitable for the transport of liquefied gas and certainly not suitable for the transport and storage of compressed gases which are still in a gaseous state at a pressure of 50 to 300 bar. There are also devices for the transport and storage of compressed gases. which are still in a gaseous state at a pressure of 50 to 300 bar known. These known devices consist of several horizontally or horizontally arranged gas cylinders, which are connected via steel belts, straps or similar devices with each other and with the transport vehicle, usually a truck, so that a change in position of individual gas containers is prevented. A separation of the bottle bundle from the transport vehicle is usually not possible. The individual gas cylinders are partially or completely connected with each other so that a common filling or emptying is possible.

Der besondere Nachteil dieser bekannten Vorrichtungen liegt darin, dass sie bei einem Unfall ein hohes Sicherheitsrisiko darstellen. Ein weiterer Nachteil liegt im hohen Platzbedarf dieser Vorrichtungen, in den hohen Investitionskosten und vor allem in den hohen laufenden Überprüfungskosten und in der Korrosionsgefahr.The particular disadvantage of these known devices is that they are at pose a high safety risk to an accident. Another disadvantage is in high space requirements of these devices, in the high investment costs and before all in high running inspection costs and in the risk of corrosion.

Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der vor allem das Sicherheitsrisiko, aber auch alle weiteren bekannten Nachteile der bekannten Vorrichtungen vermieden werden.The present invention therefore has the object, a device of to create the aforementioned type, in particular the security risk, but also avoids all other known disadvantages of the known devices become.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass der Gasbehälter aus einem einzigen Behälter besteht, welcher eine Kugelform aufweist, wobei der Behälter mit einem Standgestell verbunden ist und wobei die Lösbarkeit der Verbindung zwischen dem Gasbehälter und dem Standgestell stetig oder über eine zusätzliche Einrichtung temporär unterbunden ist. Weiters sind die Befüll- und Entleeranschlüsse am Gasbehälter so zwischen dem Behälter und dem Standgestell eingebettet, dass sie im Falle des Kippens der Vorrichtung oder bei einem sonstigen Unfall, insbesondere auf dem Transport beschädigungsfrei bleiben. Eventuelle Verformungskräfte können weitestgehend vom Standgestell aufgenommen werden. This object is achieved in that the gas container from a single Container consists, which has a spherical shape, wherein the container with a Standgestell is connected and wherein the solubility of the connection between the Gas tank and the base frame steadily or via an additional device is temporarily prevented. Furthermore, the filling and emptying connections are on Gas tank so embedded between the tank and the base frame that they in the event of tilting of the device or in any other accident, especially without damage during transport. any Deformation forces can be largely absorbed by the rack.

Durch die Lösbarkeit der Verbindung zwischen dem Gasbehälter und dem Standgestell kann nach einem Unfall auf kostengünstigste Art die Vorrichtung durch Austausch des beschädigten Standgestells repariert werden.Due to the solubility of the connection between the gas container and the Stand frame can after an accident in the most cost effective way the device Replacement of the damaged stand frame to be repaired.

Aufgrund der Kugelform ist eine weniger arbeitsintensive Herstellung bei gleich hohem Fassungsvermögen möglich. Die Kugelform ermöglicht aber auch eine wesentlich vereinfachtere und damit billigere laufende Überprüfung des Gasbehälters.Due to the spherical shape is a less labor-intensive production at the same high capacity possible. The spherical shape but also allows a much simpler and thus cheaper ongoing review of the Gas container.

Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt im geringeren Platzbedarf der Vorrichtung, wodurch die Transportkosten gesenkt werden können. Da bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung erstmals das Fahrgestell und die eigentliche Vorrichtung getrennte Elemente darstellen, wird eine flexible Logistik ermöglicht.Another advantage is the smaller footprint of the device, whereby the Transport costs can be reduced. As in the inventive Device first separated the chassis and the actual device Represent flexible logistics.

Da jeder Gasbehälter über eigene Anschlüsse verfügt und beim Transport mehrerer Gasbehälter diese nicht untereinander verbunden sind, wird die Sicherheit bei einem Unfall wesentlich erhöht.Since each gas container has its own connections and when transporting several Gas tanks that are not interconnected with each other will increase safety increased significantly in an accident.

Zusätzlich wird bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform durch eine besondere Anordnung der Anschlüsse im Zwischenraum zwischen dem Gasbehälter und dem Standgestell gewährleistet, dass die Anschlüsse am Gasbehälter bei einem Unfall stoß- und beschädigungsfrei zwischen der Kugel und dem Standgestell eingebettet sind. Bevorzugt sind die Anschlüsse an der unteren Halbkugel des Gasbehälters angeordnet.In addition, in a preferred embodiment, by a particular Arrangement of the connections in the space between the gas container and the Stand frame ensures that the connections to the gas tank in the event of an accident shock and damage-free between the ball and the base frame embedded are. The connections on the lower hemisphere of the gas container are preferred arranged.

Die Außenmaße des Standgestelles und des Gasbehälters sind so gewählt, dass die Ladefläche des gewählten Transportmittels optimal bestückt werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.The outer dimensions of the rack and the gas container are chosen so that The loading area of the selected means of transport can be optimally equipped. The device according to the invention will be described below with reference to the drawing explained.

Die Grundplatte 4 verfügt über Versteifungen 8. Weitere Versteifungen 9 befinden sich zwischen der Grundplatte 4 und den Stehern 10. Der Steher 10 kann als U-Profil oder als Kastenprofil ausgeführt sein. Die Steher 10 ragen über die untere Halbkugel des Gasbehälters 2 hinaus. Sie werden im Bereich oberhalb der Versteifungen 9 vollständig oder teilweise von Halteeinrichtungen 11 umfasst, welche aus Seitenteilen 12 und einem die Seitenteile verbindenden Teil 13 bestehen, wobei der verbindende Teil 13 als Auflagefläche des Gasbehälters 2 auf dem Steher 10 dient. Der Gasbehälter 2 besteht aus zwei Kugelhalbschalen, welche miteinander verschweißt sind. Die im Umfang gleichmäßig verteilten Halteeinrichtungen 11 sind am Außenmantel der Kugel derart angeschweißt, dass ihre Erstreckung über beide Kugelhalbschalen gleichmäßig verläuft. Die Ausnehmung 14 an der Halteeinrichtung 11 ist schweißtechnisch bedingt.The base plate 4 has stiffeners 8. Further stiffeners 9 are located between the base plate 4 and the uprights 10. The uprights 10 can as a U-profile or as Be executed box profile. The uprights 10 protrude over the lower hemisphere of the gas container 2 out.
