Definitions

  • bottles containing compressed gas at high pressure such as for example oxygen and nitrogen for technical use or methane for automobile use.
  • gas bottles in order to contain significant quantities of gas, are typically filled at pressures comprised between 200 and 300 bar, and such filling occurs, by compression, usually via two separate methods: 1) directly in gaseous form, by taking the gas from pipes with the help of mechanical compressors, such as for example occurs with methane gas for vehicle engines; 2) by taking the gas in liquid form from cryogenic tanks, which make it possible to store and move large quantities of gas in a reduced space, with the help of pumps that compress the liquefied gas under high pressure in order to transfer it to a vaporization system that can be atmospheric or based on a liquid exchanger.
  • the liquefied gas in passing through the vaporizer, evaporates absorbing the necessary heat from the air or from the liquid of the exchanger itself, in order to typically arrive at a storage/damping at high pressure, which is drawn from by the system for filling the bottles intended for the end user.
  • the aim of the present invention is to improve the system of pumping liquefied cryogenic gases, by enabling the correct delivery of the product at the right pressure with reduced filling times, extremely reduced energy consumption and near-zero maintenance.
  • the principle is very simple, in that it takes advantage of the property of liquefied gases to increase their pressure during the transition from the liquid state to the gaseous state when they are confined in an enclosed volume and their temperature is increased.
  • the system consists in withdrawing from the storage tank, through the difference in pressure, a portion of cryogenic liquefied gas in order to feed it into a small storage tank; subsequently, the liquefied cryogenic gas contained in the small tank will be caused to vaporize, by supplying heat from the environment, and thus obtaining an increase in the pressure and a change of state from liquid to gas; the gas thus obtained, thanks to its pressure, will be transferred to a gas storage tank, balancing out the different pressures between the two.
  • the liquefied cryogenic gas is kept at low temperature (typically from -160 to -190°C depending on the type of gas) in the cryogenic tank 1 with storage pressures of normally just a few bar.
  • the vaporizer 2 which is connected to the downstream usage station, is kept at a pressure comprised between 250 and 300 bar, while the valves V, V1, V2, V3 and V4 are kept closed.
  • the control system commands the closing of the valves V1 and V2 which were previously open.
  • valve V3 In order to transfer the liquefied gas from the tank S to the vaporizer 2, the valve V3 is then opened, which brings the tank S to the same pressure as the vaporizer 2 and as the downstream usage station. Immediately afterwards the valve V4 is also opened. This causes the emptying of the liquefied gas contained in the tank S to the vaporizer, thanks to the simple difference in height between the tank S and the lower part of the vaporizer. Upon reaching the level threshold considered the minimum, the level signaling device L2 commands the closing of the valves V3 and V4.
  • the liquefied gas introduced into the vaporizer will evaporate, restoring the initial pressure conditions of the vaporizer, because the volume of the tank S will be calculated to contain a quantity of liquid gas corresponding to the quantity of gas comprised between the maximum and minimum pressure of the vaporizer.
  • a specific system can be used for measuring the quantity of gas dispensed to the bottles in the filling step. In fact, based on the volume of gas dispensed a control system will decide how many fillings/emptyings of the tank S are necessary to restore the pressure of the vaporizer.
  • the valve V is opened which slowly introduces into the main tank 1 the pressure in the gaseous phase contained in the tank S, making it bubble through the liquid phase of the tank 1 or through an inner coil. This is done in order to lower the temperature of such gas and enable it to condense inside the storage tank 1 without bringing it, little by little, to a state of excess pressure.
  • the valve V is closed again.
  • the liquefied cryogenic gas is kept at a low temperature (typically from -160 to -190°C depending on the type of gas) in the cryogenic tank 1 with typical storage pressures of normally just a few bar, similarly to the previous example.
  • the vaporizer 2 which is connected to the downstream usage station, is normally kept at a pressure comprised between 250 and 300 bar, while all the valves are kept closed. With the withdrawal of gas downstream of the system, for example owing to the filling of bottles, there is naturally a fall in pressure in the vaporizer 2.
  • the control system Upon reaching the preset minimum pressure threshold, the control system commands the opening of the valves V13, V1 and V3, which causes, thanks to the simple "thermosiphon" principle of operation, the filling of the small insulated tank S1 until the level L1, by indicating the presence of the liquid at the preset threshold, commands the closing of the valves V13, V1 and V3 which were previously open.
  • valve V2 In order to transfer the liquefied gas contained in the tank S1 to the vaporizer, the valve V2 is opened, which brings the tank S1 to the same pressure as the vaporizer 2 and immediately afterwards the valve V4 is also opened.
  • the level signaling device L2 commands the closing of the valves V2 and V4.
  • the liquefied gas introduced into the vaporizer will evaporate, restoring the initial pressure conditions of the vaporizer, because the volume of the tank S1 will be calculated to contain a quantity of liquid gas corresponding to the quantity of gas between the maximum and minimum pressure of the vaporizer.
  • a specific system can be used for measuring the quantity of gas dispensed to the bottles to be filled. Based on the volume of gas dispensed, a control system will decide how many fillings/emptyings of the tanks S1 and S2 are necessary to restore the pressure of the vaporizer 2.
  • the level sensor L2 Upon reaching the minimum level of S1 the level sensor L2 interrupts the emptying by closing all the valves that were previously open.
  • the cycle if necessary, proceeds by way of filling the tank S2, i.e. by opening the valves V13, V5 and V8, until the level L3 commands the closing of the three valves that were previously open.
  • valve V9 Only at this point will the valve V9 be opened, which will transfer the gas under high pressure contained in the tank S1, which was previously emptied of the liquid part, by making it bubble slowly through a coil in the tank S2 containing liquefied gas and here, by cooling, much of it will condense in the liquefied gas contained in S2. Upon reaching the same pressure, the valve V9 will be closed and the tank S2 will be emptied in the same way in which the tank S1 was emptied.
  • the tank S1 after the transfer of much of its gas content to the tank S2, discharges the residual excess pressure in the main tank by opening the valve V1 and the valve V12, which will discharge the pressure remaining in S1 into the main storage tank by bubbling it in the liquid phase or through an inner coil in the main cryogenic tank. This is in order to lower the temperature of such residual gas and enable it to condense inside the storage tank thus preventing it from being brought, little by little, to a state of excess pressure.
  • the valves V1 and V12 Upon reaching the equalization of the pressures in the main storage tank and the tank S1, the valves V1 and V12 are closed.
