  • the product recognition or identification means comprise at least one product sensor, and / or that the product recognition or identification devices are designed to measure the density of the product or a density-dependent physical property, and or that an overfill protection is provided, and / or that devices for Um Collllmengen journey and / or tank / Kammerinhaltsunk included and are coupled to the controller.
  • a tanker usually has several chambers in which the same or different fuels can be transported. Accordingly, the fillings and charges of the tanker vehicle refueling in the context of the invention. Both at the loading stations of the tanker vehicles, as well as at the filling stations, which are supplied by the tanker vehicles, there are / for different fuel types respective tanks whose proper connection to corresponding chambers of tank trucks is to ensure.
  • an electropneumatic control is of particular advantage, since in particular the desired safety against incorrect operation can therefore be achieved.
  • this electro-pneumatic control offers the advantage of higher operational reliability and better user guidance.
  • the control must act on at least one valve in the discharge path of each chamber (bottom valve or one-way valve).
  • the operation is preferably carried out via simple buttons that can be supplemented if necessary by a display on which instructions for the operator can be displayed.
  • At least one, or possibly a combination of several, of the following ways of detecting the charged products may be used to inform the central controller of the product loaded in each chamber.
  • a simple and therefore inexpensive switch which can be mounted above each filling coupling on the loading side, ie the delivery side when filling the chambers of the tanker, can be adjusted very quickly the loaded product. If necessary, the switch can be combined with a color or shape coding and thus be similarly configured for the "markers" or TAGs frequently used for this purpose.
  • Magnetic code sensor Especially in Germany, most loading arms are magnetically coded and thus enable the automatic detection of the charged product already during loading.
  • PRD Product Recognition Device
  • This device or reader can be used both in loading and in the delivery or delivery of products, for example, to read in via the delivery hose product coding for the receiver tank.
  • the corresponding port API coupling, hose coupling
  • the chassis of the vehicle To make an electrical connection via the delivery hose (or the loading arm), the corresponding port (API coupling, hose coupling) must be electrically insulated from the chassis of the vehicle.
  • Autonomous product sensor By means of a density sensor, eg based on ultrasound, a distinction can at least be made between petrol and diesel fuels. If such a sensor mounted in the line below each chamber, so this allows the detection of the product without any action by the operator and without any device on the loading platform, so when dispensing from a or filling in a tanker. In addition, this sensor allows the detection of the complete release of the contents of a chamber and thus protects against manipulation or unauthorized removal of product at the expense of the customer, operator or client.
  • Mobile electronic dipstick If each individual tank chamber of the vehicle is equipped with an electronic direction finder, it can also provide information about the type of product in addition to its actual task of level measurement. Not only quality control, but also detailed quantity tracking is possible.
  • Short-range radio data transmission If the loading or filling station has a device which transmits the products (and quantities) delivered via the individual loading arms online to the tanker via radio transmission, the loading schedule is received on the vehicle via this interface and is then available there. Preferably, this should be done standardizing the interfaces.
  • PRD Code reader
  • the PID need not always be firmly installed in the pipe system at the gas station (receiver tanks), but could also be carried as a portable adapter for the coupling between the delivery hose of the tanker and filling connection of the tanks at gas stations on the vehicle.
  • Magnetic code reader Similar to the loading side, there is also product coding by means of magnets for dispensing from the vehicle to petrol station tanks. However, this coding does not take place directly on the filling coupling, but only, for example, in a plug, such as the plug of the legally required in Germany Abhell Klin. If this coding is to be used, an additional assignment between this plug and the corresponding hose connection must be made.
  • Short-range data radio A wireless data interface allows information to be requested, for example, about the filling level in the gas station's floor tanks. This query can be done not only before and after, but also during delivery, so continuously. Under certain circumstances, for example, product recognition would be detected by the detection of misalignments based on the detection of a level change in a wrong tank Allow mixing to occur. Although the product then contaminated would have to be disposed of costly in such a case, the much higher consequential costs for engine damage etc. but could be avoided by the timely detection and immediate blocking of the sale of this tank.
  • Gas Suspension Sensor With a sensor built into the vehicle vapor return line, which must be able to determine not only a gas flow, but also the density or other physical property of the gas with which the gas is distinguishable from fresh air Only in Germany prescribed monitoring of the correct connection of the gas displacement line to be carried out independently on the vehicle.
  • sensors can be realized in various technologies, for example as thermal sensors based on the hot-wire principle or based on the principle of sound transit time measurement.
  • Radio-controlled, portable electronic overfill protection The cables required for the overfill protection are particularly problematic when delivering several products at the same time, because they could be interchanged. The measures with which then the correct assignment must be ensured, are very complex and therefore expensive. This problem can be solved via a portable unit that monitors the condition of the thermistor sensors and, if necessary, other data such as Fill levels and / or codes for the products to the on-board control.
  • Radio-controlled electronic group-fill-fuse without assignment If, for example, it is ensured by interrogating the tank contents or otherwise that overfilling can not occur at all, then the effort for assigning the filling fuses to the product hoses can be completely eliminated. Instead, it would be sufficient to interrogate all limiters together and to immediately interrupt all ongoing charges when responding to a single backup.
  • the number of sensors to be connected would either have to be determined separately, or it would be a maximum number set by sensors and installed at gas stations with fewer sensors for the non-existing tanks dummy sensors.
  • Radio transmitter for requesting the electronic tank content measurement If the equipment of gas station side in many cases already installed tank content measuring systems with a tenfunkschnittstelle eg for cost reasons out of the question, this query can also be done via a portable transmitter on the vehicle, the driver before the start of the delivery a plug to be installed for this purpose is connected. In countries where no separate limit value transmitter is required, an effective yet very cost-effective overfill protection could be realized via this interface.
  • Loading arm coding with magnets Two magnets are mounted on the side of the loading arm coupling for connection to the filling device on the tanker. Their position is interrogated on the vehicle side by four reed or Hall sensors and, in combination with the sensors on board the vehicle, enables the automatic determination of the loading plan.
  • Charging arm coding with electronic code transmitter Such encoders are standardized as a product identification device or product identification device. If a loading arm is equipped with such an encoder, which is supplied with power when the arm is connected, and then sends telegrams, information is not only transmitted about the product but also about the loading position, the filling station and possibly even the product during the process Loading added additives included.
  • this device or this method not only prevents overloading of the vehicles, but can also be used, for example, in the event of incorrect operation to stop the loading (interlock circuit).
  • this device or this method In addition to the monitoring of the gas displacement line can be aborted by the on-board electronics, even if there is a risk of mixing loading, but not individually per chamber, but all running charges overall. For this purpose, only a simple contact is necessary, with a return line of overfill protection is interrupted.
  • Radio connection The effort for the installation of separate identification transmitters can also be eliminated for the loading or filling station for the tanker by means of an online wireless data connection.
  • the control at the loading line would then only have to be for the individual loading arms measured flow rates and the state of the electronic measuring devices constantly transmit to the controller on the vehicle. If this information is correlated with the signals from the on-board sensors, then the loading plan can also be derived therefrom. As an additional benefit the information about the loaded amount on board is available.
  • Magnetic code in the limit switch connector By arranging two magnets in four possible positions, it is possible to transmit to the vehicle which product is assigned to this limit switch. This information is not only for product identification, but also for safety reasons (Abglallmaschine) advantage. However, it is not readily analyzable, but only after establishing the assignment to the associated hose coupling. This requires a further circuit.
  • Two-pole electronic identification transmitter (PID) in product line If such a sender is installed on the filling station, this modulates the power in a closed circuit between the vehicle and the filling station via the conductive product hose. As a result, the on-board control can recognize the correct assignment even before the delivery is released. Would the. Hose connection lead to a mixture, so the controller would not release the release.
  • the two-pole identification transmitter can be advantageously extremely miniaturized and can be integrated, for example, in the already necessary Isolierflansch.
  • PID-GWG Multi-Pole Electronic Identifier
  • Product sensor in the supply line with data radio interface If a sensor is installed shortly after the hose connection in the pipeline of the filling station, it is able to detect the presence of product in this line (and report it back to the controller in the vehicle, eg via radio) , then on the query of this sensor on the vehicle side on the assignment of Behellschläuche can be deduced. The amount of product that is "consumed" for this assignment, is significantly lower than in the detection via the filling station side filling level measuring system (see below).
  • Mobile product sensor with data radio interface Similar to the mobile identification transmitter, such a sensor can be carried along the vehicle and mounted by the driver before the start of delivery, for example, on the diesel fuel nozzle, if the installation in all gas stations for cost reasons is out of the question.
  • Tank content measurement with data radio interface If the data of a filling station installed electronic filling level measurement via a radio interface are read from the vehicle, so this data can also be evaluated to detect mixtures. Depending on the sensitivity and response time of the measurement method used to measure the contents of the tank, the amount of product released before the detection of an error may be between 5 and 100 liters. Alternatively, the equipment of the tank contents measurement is possible with a wired interface to which then a portable radio transmitter / receiver can be connected, which is carried on the vehicle. It would then be standardized only the connector that must be provided for this purpose at the gas station.
  • the product hose As a medium for data transmission, the product hose is used, which must be well conductive for this purpose. Technically, this is not a problem, however, the decrease in conductivity due to the aging of the tubing can lead to disturbances even before reaching the possible service life of the tubing.
  • This system reliably prevents the addition of petrol to diesel fuel and vice versa.
  • the sensors built into the product line When loading the chambers of a tanker vehicle, the sensors built into the product line initially act as empty detectors and are used after completion of the loading to determine the loading schedule fully automatically and without driver intervention, but only "coarse", ie. only distinguished by gasoline and diesel fuel. If the line is not empty before loading, a "density jump" determined by the sensor during loading could be used to stop the loading via the interlock line.
  • the driver Before unloading from the chambers of a tanker, the driver must "mark" the connection of the gas station's diesel tank with the portable diesel remote control (PID) tag attached before connecting his product hoses.
  • PID portable diesel remote control
  • the vehicle-side control recognizes connected hoses via the one flowing after the connection has been established Electricity. If this current is modulated, the hose leads to the diesel tank. If he is not, he leads to a petrol tank.
  • This light version is not suitable for use in Germany according to the current legal situation, since at least for the types of gasoline no correlation between limit value transmitter and product hose is possible.
  • the vehicle-side equipment corresponds to the light version.
  • PID built-in code transmitter
  • Mini- and Light-Version can be used without any problems, especially in the transitional period during the introduction of the area and conversion to the system and method according to the invention.
  • This version differs from the general mini version by the gas station side use of multi-pin PID-GWG and the vehicle side to be evaluated return circuits via the limit sensor cable.
  • This version is also suitable for use in Germany according to the current state of the art.
  • This version corresponds to the mini version and additionally contains magnetic code reader for reading the product coding of the loading arms at the filling points, as well as for reading the magnetic codes installed in the GWG stekker of the filling stations.
  • the product sensors in the vehicle although not preferred, could be replaced with simpler empty sensors in this version.
  • This version corresponds to the mini version, only on the vehicle side, the loading clutches are equipped with the possibility to code reading. The additional costs are likely to be negligible and are zero in the case of "left-left" vehicles (loading and unloading on the same side). On the filling side, all loading arms must be equipped with appropriate code pickers.
  • the magnetic code reader After expiration of the transitional period, i. after conversion of all loading arms to code transmitter, the magnetic code reader could be dispensed with for new vehicles. After expiration of another transitional period, i. after conversion of all vehicles to electronic code readers also for the loading clutches, the magnetic code encoders could also be omitted on all loading arms.
  • an electronic dipstick is mounted in all chambers, which registers the level in each tank and, as a by-product, provides the density of the product charged in the chambers. This ensures seamless monitoring not only of quality but also of quantity balances.
  • the product sensors in the piping below the chambers can be replaced by simpler empty sensors. Otherwise, the functionality of the systems with easy product recognition.
  • radio should be to replace all between vehicle and gas station or filling necessary cable connections, as these cause not only one-off, but constant costs for maintenance and regular wear-related replacement and also with labor in the connection and disconnection associated with refueling operations.
  • Another advantage of a radio-based system is that it eliminates the increased conductivity requirements of product hoses.
  • Loading side corresponds to the function of the previously described light version without radio.
  • the vehicle-side equipment corresponds to the light version.
  • the product sensor is firmly mounted in the diesel fuel line and, together with the signals from a tank contents measuring system installed at the filling station, is led to a plug-in connection accessible to the driver at the filling station.
  • the driver carries a portable transmitter, which must be connected to this connector at the gas station. Since the power supply of the transmitter can be done in this way, the portable transmitter does not even need its own power supply by battery and can be kept very small, light and therefore inexpensive and handy in this way.
  • the function is similar to that of the Light version, but is supplemented by additional monitoring of tank contents in the bottom tanks before, during and after delivery.
  • the system assumes the function of an overfill prevention device (albeit not according to the currently strict German guidelines), because the constant monitoring of the fill levels avoids overfilling, provided that the level measuring system in the floor tanks functions correctly.
  • the mixture of petrol products can also be detected and prevented within certain limits with this version.
  • the procedure for petrol is slightly modified compared to the mini version: After the initial product shock and monitoring of the diesel feedback, a dangerous OK / DK mixing is excluded, the levy is restarted. By polling the level in the bottom tanks, an increase in the level must now occur after a maximum of 5 to 30 seconds (corresponding to 50 to 300 1 product inflow) be registered in the corresponding floor tank. If this is not the case, or if the increase in a bottom tank with another product occurs, the delivery is stopped immediately and the driver is notified of the mixing that has taken place.
  • this system also makes it possible, within certain limits, to detect a hose break: If the increase does not take place, the delivery is also stopped. The leakage of a chamber can be reliably prevented in any case in this way.
  • This system variant can be designed to be compatible with the fieldbus systems (EPSI, IFSF) increasingly used at filling stations.
  • EPSI fieldbus systems
  • IFSF IFSF
  • the portable radio interface only has to be able to drive or use the respective bus protocol.
  • the gas pendulum monitoring can be realized by means of a simple mechanical sensor, or, if a real function monitoring is desired, by means of a flow and density sensor autonomously on the vehicle.
  • the filling hose assurance can be implemented, for example, via the continuous quantity monitoring during delivery.
  • a true balance sheet is not possible, since the amount delivered by the vehicle is only approximately approximate, the installation of an electronic direction finding system on board the vehicle would be an advantage for this function (see “Maxiversion” below).
  • an overfill protection system may need to be retrofitted on the vehicle side for German systems.
  • a radio-based "collective fuse” would suffice, which is coupled by means of a separate radio station and to which all thermistors are connected. This eliminates the need for the assignment, because it is indeed avoided by the constant Gunchnabfrage the start of a Ab hypochllommesskyn. This will leave all sensors unwetted - except in the event of a failure or malfunction of the tank contents measurement. But then the response of a single sensor must lead to the shutdown of all current charges. In this exceptional case, further levies may only be made in "single mode", i. it would be allowed by the control only the delivery of a single product at a time. The risk of confusion or misallocation between the limit sensor and the product tube is minimal.
  • an electronic direction finding system is installed on board the vehicle, which continuously monitors not only the quality of the loaded products but also their quantity. This opens up the possibility of quantity balance in combination with the gas station-side content measurement (quantity delivered in comparison to the quantity received). Thereby the sensitivity to product losses, e.g. be significantly increased by leaks.
  • the methods according to the invention and the systems and devices operating thereafter can be used to prevent product mixtures, in particular the dangerous and harmful product mixtures between gasoline and diesel fuels.
  • a control or control device on board a tanker vehicle controls at least one filling or dispensing valve and thus releases or blocks the loading and / or dispensing of products individually for individual tank chambers of the vehicle or in total
  • at least one device for chamber-wise detection or input and storage of the product type or the product category is present on board the tanker and can be used by the control device, in that at least one device for detecting the product, which may be discharged via a hose connected to the tanker into a receiver tank connected to the other hose end, is present on board the tanker, and / or that at least one device for detecting the product, via a loading arm may be delivered to the tanker, on the loading arm and / or on board the tanker vehicle is present, and that the product recognition device can be used by the control device, and that the control device processes the existing information and deduces therefrom the decision as to whether a delivery would lead to a mixing or not
  • the detection of the correct assignment is made so that initially only a small amount of product is dispensed and this amount is recognized by suitable sensors in the supply line to the receiver tank or in the receiver tank itself subsequently. Only when the small amount arrives in the right tank, the further release is released or automatically continued.
  • the chambers in the tanker form the receiver tank when it is loaded.
  • the device for automatic recognition of the product category measures the density of the product or a density-dependent physical property and thereby distinguish, for example, between light gasoline fuels and heavier diesel fuels or heating oils.
  • a further embodiment variant is that the detection of the product stored in the receiver tank, which is supplied by the tanker, by means of a portable Identifier takes place, which is flanged between the hose connection of the receiver tank and the product hose before the start of duties by the operator, and whose identifier is queried via a conductive product hose from the vehicle-mounted control and used to control the levies.
  • Yet another variant of a system according to the invention is characterized in that the overfilling of the tank to be filled by the tanker receiver tanks is prevented by Abglall Klin, the assignment between the receiver tank and associated on-board tank chamber of the controller via a circuit of Abhell Anlagensstainss and integrated in Ab hydroll Anlagensstecker two-pole code generator (PID) is determined.
