Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of filling processes in cryogenic liquid such as liquid nitrogen from a downstream reservoir, from an upstream storage.
- El lé is particularly interested in methods allowing fast filling.
- Such filling operations can be found, for example, for filling tanks in trucks used for transporting and dispensing heat-sensitive products, such as pharmaceuticals and food products.
- the cryogenic fluid for example liquid nitrogen
- a high-capacity upstream storage connected to equipment consuming this fluid downstream such as the tank of a truck, the upstream storage containing under a pressure of storage above atmospheric pressure, the cryogenic fluid in the liquid phase at the bottom of the tank and in the gaseous phase at the top of the tank, this storage being adapted to supply the downstream consumer equipment with liquid which is withdrawn at the bottom of the storage and on the other hand to be supplied from the outside with fluid.
- cryogenic pump In order to proceed with the rapid transfer of the fluid between this upstream storage and such a downstream point, for example a reservoir to be filled, a cryogenic pump is commonly used to increase the upstream pressure during transfer to the cryogenic reservoir situated downstream (FIG. after annexed).
- a cryogenic pump may present disadvantages in terms of cost, maintenance obligations, and specific operational constraints such as cold setting before use.
- a cryogenic pump indeed comprises rotating parts that require specific maintenance.
- One of the objectives of the present invention is then to propose a new rapid filling approach, making it possible to provide a solution to the technical problems identified above.
- the present invention proposes a novel filling method whose essential characteristics can be summarized as follows:
- the upstream storage is used directly, without the intervention of additional capacity; a pressure difference is set up between the upstream storage and the downstream point, by establishing at the level of this upstream storage an "overpressure", namely by pressurizing it at a pressure greater than the equilibrium pressure corresponding to the temperature cryogenic fluid storage, and maintaining by means of control / regulation such a higher pressure, which will allow to transfer the liquid undercooled relative to its transfer pressure and thus to perform fills with more flow rates important, by limiting the losses by vaporization during the transfer related to the pressure drops of the installation and to the thermal inputs (the time of rise in temperature of the liquid being sufficiently long by rep orport to its time of storage in the storage upstream between two refills);
- control device capable of automatically managing the supply pressure cryogenic liquid upstream tank storage (liquid phase), and the temperature of the cryogenic liquid stored, to maintain the gas phase of the upstream storage at such a pressure greater than the equilibrium storage pressure.
- the present invention thus relates to a cryogenic liquid filling process of at least one downstream reservoir, from an upstream storage, upstream storage which contains, under a storage pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, the cryogenic fluid in the liquid phase at the bottom of the storage and in the gaseous phase at the top of the storage, said upstream storage being adapted to supply the downstream reservoir with liquid withdrawn from the bottom of the storage, as well as to be supplied from the outside with fluid, characterized in that a pressure difference is set up and maintained between the upstream storage and the downstream reservoir, establishing at the level of the gas phase of the upstream storage a pressure greater than the equilibrium pressure of the storage.
- a pressure level equal to: is set up and maintained at the level of the upstream storage gas phase;
- - Pg is the pressure maintained in the gas sky of the storage
- p is the density of the stored liquid
- Figure 1 is a partial schematic view of a conventional installation for filling a downstream liquid nitrogen tank from an upstream storage, implementing a cryogenic pump;
- Figure 2 is a partial schematic view of a fast filling installation according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an installation according to the invention, which does not comprise such a pressurizing means, but which on the other hand comprises a control device, able to act automatically on the cryogenic liquid supply pressure of the upstream storage tank and on the temperature of the stored cryogenic liquid, in response to a measurement of the pressure of the gas phase of the reactor.
- the transfer pressure of the cryogenic fluid is adjusted to the desired nominal value, for example 5 bar relative to a given application of downstream liquid nitrogen, the temperature of the fluid is moreover controlled with respect to a value of reference under given conditions, for example -187 ° C which corresponds to an equilibrium pressure of 1.5 bar relative. If after a period of use, the temperature deviation from the setpoint is greater than the set hysteresis, a new pressure setpoint is inserted in the controller to reduce the associated gas sky pressure and therefore to limit the heating of the fluid in the storage during non-operational periods of transfers. The system resumes operating pressure in anticipation of operational reuse of the rapid transfer facility.
- the control device thus allows parametrizable management of the pressure, temperature and time data in order to optimize the overall consumption of the installation.
- This table indicates filling times obtained for 410 liters of liquid nitrogen transferred from upstream to downstream, for different operating conditions:
- the table For each operating condition, the table provides the filling time as well as the average flow rate implemented.
