- condensing means such as a condenser on the vent pipes of the heavy fuel tanks runs counter to the habits in the considered field because it is generally considered that the heavy products, which are little or not volatile at temperatures ambient, do not need to be condensed.
- this has at least two significant advantages.
- the vent gases escaping, both light fuel tanks and heavy fuel tanks, are, before being returned to the delivery tank, cooled efficiently.
- the gas returned to the tank to replace the discharged fuels has a temperature significantly lower than the ambient temperature and strongly limits the formation of vapors or vaporization on the surface of the fuels contained in the tank.
- the condenser associated with the tank of this heavy fuel condenses these vapors and the condensates obtained are directed from this condenser to at least one of the light fuel tanks.
- the current collectors in which a hermetic partition sealingly separates a circulation sub-volume of the vent gases from the light fuel tanks and a circulation sub-volume of the vent gases from the fuel tanks. heavy, can be arranged according to the invention by clearing or piercing the aforementioned partition to communicate the two sub-volumes with each other.
- the collector is equipped with gas distribution means passing through it, sensitive to the pressure of the gases in the various vent ducts;
- the cooling capacity of the condensing means associated with the heavy fuel tank or tanks is significantly lower than that of the condensing means associated with the light fuel tank or tanks;
- each vent pipe of the heavy fuel tank or tanks is provided with a valve, disposed between the condensing means associated with this conduit and the manifold and adapted to introduce ambient air into the fuel tank. heavy in case of depression in it;

- the installation comprises a suction duct 10 connected between the or at least one of the light fuel tanks and means for collecting the gases released during the light fuel distribution at a dispensing gun of a meter.
- the invention furthermore relates to a process for filling and / or emptying the tanks of a fuel storage installation into fuels, said installation comprising at least one light fuel tank, of the gasoline type 98, the gasoline type 95 or biofuel, and at least one heavy fuel tank, of the diesel or fuel oil type, in which the vent gases from the light fuel tank or tanks are cooled and the condensates resulting from this cooling are discharged to the at least one of the light fuel tanks, characterized in that the gases circulating in one or more vent ducts connected between the tank (s) of heavy fuel and a collector fed by the vent gases from the light fuel tank (s), and the condensates resulting from this cooling are evacuated to the at least one of the light fuel tanks.
- This process is simple to implement and ensures that the majority of the light fuel vapors circulating in the installation is recovered in the form of condensates.
- the gases from the collector and discharged to the outside of the installation have a temperature of the order of -30 ° C;
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation 20 principle of a service station comprising an installation according to the invention, during filling of one of its tanks; .
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, showing a portion of the installation of Figure 1 during emptying of its tanks;
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, showing another part of the installation of Figure 1 during filling of its tanks.
- FIG. 1 shows a service station S comprising four tanks C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , and C 4 of a storage facility I, each intended to contain a fuel intended to be dispensed from volumetric pumps or " pumps, of which only one, referenced P, is shown.
- the tanks C 1 , C 2 and C 3 are intended to contain light fuels, namely respectively “gasoline 98", “gasoline 95” and “biofuel”.
- the tank 04 is, for its part, intended to contain a heavy fuel, namely diesel, which differs from the light fuels tanks C 1 , C 2 , C 3 by its lower volatility.
- the tank C 1 is being filled from a tank 10 of a delivery truck, as represented by the arrows F 1 .
- a discharge pipe 11 connects the tank 10 to the tank C 1 in which is for example disposed a not shown gauge.
- a vent pipe 12 has its inlet 12a disposed in the upper part of the tank C 1 to collect the vent gas resulting from the filling operation. The circulation of these vent gases is represented by the arrows F 2 .
- the vent duct 12 is provided, in its current part, with a condenser 13 and is connected, at its outlet orifice 12b, to a manifold 14 provided with a safety valve 15 for venting free the manifold in case of overpressure or gas vacuum.
- the outlet 14A of the manifold 14 is connected by a recycling duct 19 to a gas distribution network 16 inside the tank 10 (more particularly visible in FIG. 3), so that the condenser 13 is integrated in a line collecting the vents of the tank Ci in the direction of the tank, this line being formed of the meeting of the vent pipe 12, the collector 14, the pipe 19 and the network 16.
- the vent gases flowing in line 12 are cooled in condenser 13 and are thereby discharged from their fuel particles which condense and flow to tank C 1 as represented by the arrows F 3
- the condensates circulate in a specific exhaust duct 17 shown in phantom, or, alternatively, flow into the vent pipe 12, in particular by means of 'a capillary, either by simple gravity or by forced means a pump not shown.
- the exhaust duct 17 is connected to the discharge pipe 11 so as to promote the flow of condensates by Venturi effect caused by the flow of fuel removed from the tank 10.
- the tanks C 1 , C 3 and C 4 of the installation I are each equipped with a vent duct 22, 32, 42 opening at the outlet into the manifold 14 which is therefore common to all the vent ducts 12, 22, 32 and 42, in the sense that the gases can pass from any duct to another via this manifold.
- the collector 14 is preferably equipped with gas distribution means passing therethrough, sensitive to the gas pressure prevailing in the various vent pipes 12, 22, 32 and 42: if the pressure prevailing in one of these vent pipes is greater than those prevailing in other conduits, these distribution means balance these gas pressures by allowing part of the gases of the over-pressurized duct to pass into the pressurized ducts.
- vent ducts 22 and 32 associated with the tanks C 2 and C 3 of light fuel are each equipped with a condenser 23 and 33 substantially similar to the condenser 13.
- Each condenser 23 and 33 is connected to a duct d discharge of condensates 27 and 37, similar to the conduit 17 associated with the condenser 13 and adapted to direct the condensed vapors at the outlet of each condenser respectively to the tanks C 2 and C 3 .
- the vent duct 42 associated with the diesel fuel tank C 4 is also equipped with a condenser 43.
- This condenser 43 is implanted in a manner analogous to that of the condenser 13 of the duct 12, but differs from this condenser 13 by its dimensioning. More specifically, the cooling capacity of the condenser 43 is significantly lower than that of the condensers 13, 23 and 33.
- the condenser 43 is connected to a condensate discharge duct 47 which, unlike the ducts 17, 27 and 37, does not direct the condensates towards the tank C 4 from which from the vents treated in the condenser, but to one of the tanks of light fuels, namely, for example, the tank C 1 in Figure 1.
- the vent pipe 42 of the diesel fuel tank C 4 is provided with a valve 20 disposed between the condenser 43 and the manifold 14.
- This valve is preferably tared more weakly than the valve 15, for example at -5mbar instead of -15mbar, so as to allow the introduction of ambient air into the tank C 4 as soon as a depression is formed in that in particular when dispensing fuel from the tank C 4 to the pump P.
- the condensers 13, 23, 33 and 43 are for example adapted to be supplied with a heat transfer fluid from a cooling unit of this fluid, the latter being selected according to environmental standards in force.
- This unit comprises for example one or more compressors able to cool the fluid supplying the condensers at a temperature between -55 ° C and -25 ° C, preferably between about -45 ° C and -40 ° C. Details of embodiments of condensers of this type are for example given in WO-A-03/006358.
- the installation I further comprises a suction duct 18 opening, at one of its ends, into the tank C 1 and, at its opposite end, into a gas collection network of the flow meter P.
- the meter is equipped with fuel dispensing guns, respectively provided, for the light fuel dispensing guns, with a suction nozzle for fuel vapors released during the filling of the tank of a motor vehicle.
- These suction nozzles collect the vent gases resulting from the filling of this tank and send them into the conduit 18 so that these vapors are not released into the atmosphere but returned to the tank C 1 -
- the conduit 18 and the P collector collection network thus form means for recovering the gases released during the filling of these tanks, able to meet certain environmental standards.
- a motorist withdraws petrol 98 from the tank C 1 to fill the tank of his vehicle.
- the dispensing gun delivers the gasoline 98 and sucks at the same time the gaseous phase present in the tank, in particular to limit gaseous escaping harmful to the environment.
- the aspirated gases, represented by the arrows F 4 are, via the suction duct 18, sent to the tank C 1 in practice, the volume of gas sucked is at least 15% greater than the volume of fuel emptied, which causes the increase of the internal gas pressure to this tank.
- diesel fuel distribution generally accounts for more than half of the total fuel distribution for fuel. service station S. Through the manifold 14, a portion of the gas contained in the tank C 1 is then sent, via the vent pipe 42, into the tank C 4 so that the pressure in these tanks tanks is substantially equal.
- a stream of gases charged with light fuel vapors then passes, as indicated by the arrow F 5 , the condenser 43 associated with the tank C 4 , which causes the condensation of at least a portion of these vapors, the condensates being directed, via the conduit 47, to the tank C 1 .
- the remaining cooled gases, essentially free of their light fuel particles, are sent to the tank C 4 .
- the return of the condensates in one of the tanks of light fuel namely in the tank C 1 in the example in the figures
- the concomitant return of cooled gases, removed from most of their fuel particles light, in the tank C 4 and, where appropriate, in the tanks C 1 , C 2 and C 3 make it possible to avoid sending light fuels into the heavy fuel tank C 4 and to cool the internal gas atmosphere of the tanks, which limits the evaporation of fuels in the tanks.
- the tank 10 is being unloaded so as to refuel substantially simultaneously with the tank 98 C 1 and the diesel tank C 4 , as shown respectively by the arrows F 1 and F 1 '.
- the unloading duct 11 connects a compartment 10A of the tank 10 to the tank C 1 and a discharge pipe 11 'similar to the pipe 11, connects a compartment 1OB of the tank to the tank C 4 , separate compartment 10A.
- the removal of the compartment 1OA causes in the tank C 1 a phenomenon of recovery of the gases, that is to say an increase in fuel volatility.
- the arrival of the fuel in the tank C 1 flushes the gases initially contained in the tank.
- These two phenomena generate. a vent gas stream from the tank C 1 in the conduit 12.
- These vent gases pass through the condenser 13 until reaching the collector 14, as indicated by the arrow F 2 .
- the condenser 13 causes the condensation of the fuel vapors, the resulting condensates returning, via the conduit 17, into the tank C 1.
- the vent gases discharged from the fuel particles are at a significantly lower temperature. to that they had on entering, between about -40 ° C and -30 ° C.
- the removal of the compartment 1OB does not cause a gaseous evaporation phenomenon in the tank C 4 because the gas oil is a non-volatile fuel at room temperature.
- the arrival of the diesel refueling causes the flushing of the gases initially contained in the tank C 4 , these vent gases escaping through the conduit 42 through the condenser 43, as indicated by the arrows F 2 .
- the gaseous atmosphere initially contained in the tank C 4 generally comprises a small amount of light fuel vapors, such as gasoline vapors.
- gas from the outside can be introduced into the tank C 1 via the suction duct 18 and gas currents occur in the tank. installation I so that the gas pressure prevailing in each of the 10 tanks C 1 to C 4 is substantially equal through the collector 14, resulting in gas exchange between the tanks.
- the gases expelled from the tank C 4 during its filling are cooled by the condenser 43 and a good portion of the light fuel vapors contained in these gases is condensed, the condensates obtained being discharged to the tank C 1 via the duct 47.
- the gases discharged from the tank C 4 have a lower light fuel vapor content than that of the vent gases from the tanks C 1 to C 3 .
- the cooling capacities of the condenser 43 do not have to be as important as those of the condensers 13, 23 and 33.
- the coolant compressor or coolers circulating in the condenser 43 have a smaller dimensioning compressors associated with each condenser 13, 23, 33.
- a single stage compressor can be used.
- the temperature of the vent gases reaches a level comparable to that of the gases coming from the condensers 13, 23 and 33, that is to say that it is between -40 ° C. and -30 ° C. ° C approx.
- the gases leaving the manifold 14, which are directed towards the tank 10 have a temperature of the order of -30 ° C.
- the network 16 distributes the recycled gas feeding it indifferently in the compartments 10A and 10B according to the respective needs of these compartments, related to the flow rate of the fuels discharged
- the gaseous atmosphere in each compartment has a cold temperature, lower than the ambient temperature, thus limiting the revaporization of fuels, especially light, on the surface of liquids being unloaded.
- the continuous inflow of cold recycled gases thus continuously supplies a gaseous mattress of relatively low temperature that stagnates on the surface of the liquid discharged. Any losses related to the revaporizations within the refueling tank 10 are thus greatly limited.
- the installation I according to the invention thus makes it possible to recover, both during the filling of the tanks and their emptying, the vapors of light fuels hitherto lost by the installations of the prior art
- about 95% to 98% of the volatile organic compounds can thus be recondensed in the facility I, minimizing losses of volatile organic compounds for the operator of the service station S and increasing the profitability of this service station.
- the vapors recycled in the tank 10 of the delivery truck consist essentially of very cold air (for example at -25 ° C.) and practically free of volatile organic compounds (less than 5% of volatile compounds), which makes the delivery truck safer and less polluting.
- safety valves 21, which respectively equip the compartments of the tank 10 are solicited only in the event of a real malfunction of the network 16, and not for degassing these compartments regularly during their emptying.
- the balancing of the pressures in all the tanks, via the manifold 14, limits both the depressions in the heavy fuel tank C 4 and the overpressures in the tank of light fuels C 1 , C 2 and C 3 , which avoids soliciting the valve 15 and the valve 20, except in the case of a real malfunction of the installation ..
- the overpressures in the tanks of light fuel have anyway tendency to generate significant stresses on the mechanical gauges disposed in these tanks, until lifting or disengaging these gauges. Fuel vapors then infiltrate and stagnate near the part of the gauges accessible from the outside of the tanks, posing risks of explosion when checking the gauges.
- the condenser 43 associated with the diesel fuel tank C 4 operates continuously both during the filling and during the emptying of any of the tanks C 1 to C 4 , so as to limit as much as possible the losses of vapors of light fuels. .
- the condensers 13, 23 and 33 associated with the tanks C 1 to C 3 are generally intensively stressed only during the respective refilling of these tanks. Outside these filling periods, the cooling intensity developed by these condensers is reduced, while maintaining preferably the heat transfer fluid circulating in these condensers at a temperature below atmospheric temperature to allow these condensers to be at the same temperature.
- the condenser 43 is preferably defrosted once a day, during a period of low activity for the service station S, especially at night, while the condensers 13, 23, 33 are preferably de-iced just before and just after filling the tanks C 1; C 2 and C 3 . In practice, these defrosts can be achieved by reversing the refrigeration cycle.
- the vent gases from the refueled tank may not be directed permanently to the corresponding condenser, but, on the contrary, be sent successively. to the three condensers 13, 23 and 33.
- the admission of the vent gases in the three condensers is controlled by a set of valves actuated cyclically. In this way, frost is deposited successively in the three condensers, without accumulating exclusively in one of these condensers, thus limiting the overall low condensing performance related to progressive icing condensers.
- means for measuring the temperature of the gases leaving each of the condensers 13, 23, 33 and 43 can be provided so as to control with precision the cooling intensity developed by each of these condensers, so as to optimize their expenditure energy;
- the condensates coming from the various condensers concerned 13, 23 and 33, and the condensates from the condenser 43 can be grouped at the outlet of the condensers in a common exhaust pipe, opening downstream only in one of the tanks C 1 , C 2 and C 3 , preferably in the tank containing the light fuel the cheapest for reasons of financial taxes; and or
- the condensers 13, 23 and 33 can be grouped together in the same condensing unit treating the vent gases from any tanks C 1 , C 2 and C 3 ; likewise, if several heavy fuel tanks are provided in the installation, the vent gases from these tanks can be grouped before being subjected to dedicated condensing means, distinct from the condensing means associated with the ducts; vent of light fuel tanks.
