Definitions

  • This application describes a novel system for simultaneous automatic cleaning of several parallel pipelines by means of a propellant, preferably the operating medium, e.g. go through a condensation heat exchanger and a heat exchanger, without hindering the operation of other pipes in the system.
  • a propellant preferably the operating medium, e.g. go through a condensation heat exchanger and a heat exchanger, without hindering the operation of other pipes in the system.
  • document DE 3 824 773-A1 shows a generic device and the preamble of claim 1.
  • a piggable multi-pipe system is particularly important for heat-transferring systems, where wall adhesions are to be expected, as this can result in greater heat transfer rates with a still acceptable number of leads and line lengths.
  • the present application provides a device that allows multiple pipes to be cleaned simultaneously without affecting the operation of non-cleaning-mode pipelines.
  • the system is based on reconnecting several lines at the beginning and end of the system through the device into a manifold, e.g. also in conventional heat exchangers is the case.
  • the entire piping system is equipped with several devices. For example, four lines are each merged at their end into one device. For a sixteen pipe line system, eight devices are needed.
  • the abovementioned pressure drop in the individual line is prevented by blocking the outflow to the collecting line through the pig, so that the fluid pressure for the pigs still remaining in the pipe system does not fall off.
  • the pig assumes the function of a valve according to the invention after its cleaning passage at the end of the individual pipeline.
  • the device for simultaneous pigging of individual lines is applicable to piping systems whose beginning and end are not spatially close. At both ends of the piping system there is a manifold or collector which distributes the fluid flow to a plurality of tubes or rejoins fluid flow to a tube.
  • the device is with the appropriate inflows and outflows, their shut-off devices fitted.
  • the pig storage station functions in the device at the same time as a shut-off device during the cleaning mode.
  • the piping system may consist of several units constructed in this way.
  • the tubes are cleaned in the direction and in the opposite direction of the fluid flow. At least one additional pump (pig pump) is used as the drive for the pigs, since the cleaning process must be disconnected from the normal conveying operation.
  • the cleaning of the pipeline in both directions is made possible by connecting the pig pump to both ends of the pipeline system.
  • a propellant for the pigs the medium required by the pipeline is preferably used, other propellants are also possible.
  • the adhesions released from the pipe wall by the pigging process can be collected separately.
  • the device consists of a distribution or collection device with the necessary inflows and outflows, which in turn are all lockable.
  • the first outlet is required for the inlet or outlet in normal operation.
  • the second outlet drains the propellant and the debris from the cleaning process and the third outlet is the port for the propellant of the cleaning mode pig.
  • a positioning unit which also takes over the pig detection via a switching contact exists.
  • the pigging operation in the direction of flow of the pumped liquid is initiated by a shut-off of the inlet and the collection process for the normal production operation at the other end of the pipe system.
  • the valves of the pipeline to the pig pump and to drain off the dirt at the end of the pipeline system are opened.
  • the line for the discharge of the driving medium for the pigging in the reverse direction remains closed.
  • the pig pump starts and builds up pressure behind the pigs so that they are driven through the pipeline. The dirt released by the pig can then be separated and removed.
  • a pigging operation against the fluid flow direction is initiated by shutting off the inlet for the normal conveying operation and in this case the collecting pipeline at the opposite end of the pipeline system. At the same time open the valves for supplying the propellant and their derivative at the opposite end of the piping system. At the end of the cleaning process, when all newts have reached their destination, they close these valves again and the valves for the distribution and collection of the pumped liquid are reopened and normal operation can be resumed.
  • the end of a cleaning process is determined by monitoring the arrival of the pigs in the individual lines, so that it can be controlled by the cleaning rhythm of the entire system.
  • the device in the first embodiment in illustration 1 for simultaneous automatic cleaning of pipelines consists of a manifold or header pipe (1) for the normal production operation and a collecting chamber (2) for the pigging operation of the pigging pipes (3).
  • the distributor or header pipe (1) is provided in this embodiment with a piston (8) as a push-off device.
  • This pig brake (7) can be designed to detect the pig (9) as a registration unit.
  • the illustration 1 shows in a schematic embodiment, the slide positions of the device for parallel simultaneous cleaning of pipes (3) in normal operation.
  • the fluid to be delivered flows through the pipes (3) into the bore (11) as an extension of the pipes (3) of the device and is distributed or reunited in the device in the manifold and header pipe (1).
  • FIG 2 is the slide position during the pigging process at the starting point of the pigs (9) shown.
  • the slide of the line leading the fluid to the pig is opened and the piston (8) closes the openings (10) of the bore (11) to the manifold (1).
  • the pig pump starts with the promotion of the driving medium for the pigging, the pigs (9) driven by the pressure building up behind the pigs (9) through the bore (11) and the pipes (3).
  • FIG 3 the individual segments of another embodiment are shown.
  • This valve variant works on the same principle as in Figure 1 and 2 , The two variants differ only in the organization and control of inflows and outflows.
  • This variant consists of three drilled plates (12a-c) which perform various tasks in the valve.
  • the holes represent the end of the pipes to be pig, the holes are the cylinders for the pistons take over the tasks of the valves of the first embodiment and the holes are the manifolds for the inlets and outlets of the fluid used and the propellant for the pigging such the manifold or manifolds (1) in the first embodiment.
  • the plates are like in Figure 4 superimposed so that the holes are hydraulically connected via the holes, so that a connecting line between the plates is formed.
  • the holes end the fluid-carrying lines of the piping system to be lumbered.
  • the fluid and the propellant for the pig then flows through the holes, which are considerably smaller but designed in multiple numbers than the medium-carrying lines, so that the pig can not leave the pipeline, through the holes to its destination or it flows into reverse direction from its reservoir via this path into the piping system, depending on whether the device is at the end or at the beginning of the piping system.
  • the holes of the middle plate segmented pistons are introduced, the flow through the bores, which extend vertically to the plate surfaces for the respective operating state allow or shut off the flow through a controlled device, as exemplified in the single representation in Figure 5 shown.
  • the connections in the lines are closed at the starting point of the pig, so that the pigs can be driven by a second pump in addition to the pump for normal operation, via the connection.
  • the outlets of the line of the device are closed by the piston of the lines.
  • the pig comes to a standstill over the connecting line and seals a drain, so that the parallel running pigs, which have not reached their destination yet are driven by a cross-sectional decrease in the pigging system to be lured by an increased pressure to their destination.
