Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of plant engineering. It relates to a method for repairing or checking a in a pressure-tight closed container housed, in particular refrigeration system. It further relates to a container for carrying out the method.
- the refrigeration systems are to be assembled from individual, generally similar refrigeration modules, which are each covered with a protective jacket in the manner that creates a protection between the refrigeration cycle of the individual module and the environment. This protection absorbs any refrigerant escaping from the refrigeration cycle and prevents the harmful contact between the refrigerant and the environment.
- the local refrigeration system 40 is composed of a plurality of parallel operating cooling modules ⁇ .,. ⁇ , each having a local refrigeration cycle with a compressor 38 and a heat exchanger 16. From the heat exchanger 16 of each refrigeration module ⁇ .,. ⁇ connecting lines are led to manifolds SLL, SL2, which connect, for example, the individual modules with a cold consumer.
- the individual refrigeration modules KM 1... KMn are to be brought into contact with each other in a pressure-tight container 10, which has an internal pressure deviating from the outside world (eg a vacuum).
- a pressure-tight sealed container per refrigeration module has the following effects:
- the case or container can absorb and dampen vibrations and noise.
- the interior of the shell or container can be cooled (if the heat output of the compressors becomes a problem, the interior can be kept at a desired temperature by means of coiled coils or the like, for example, the cold medium return or flow temperature or appropriate measures).
- the shell or the container is filled with a protective gas (same alerting as above).

- the two ends of the tube are joined together by welding.
- the at least one pipe is connected to a plant part arranged in the container, and the pipe is displaced together with the plant part.
- a further embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the at least one tube is cut at a lying outside the first separation point second separation point and at a lying within the container third separation point to form a gap in the tube that after repair or Review in the gap for closing the gap a corresponding piece of pipe used and is connected to the second and third separation point with the ends of the tube, and that the pipe socket is sealed again by a material connection with the pipe section used pressure-tight.
- the pipe piece is connected to the ends of the pipe in each case by welding.
- Yet another embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that an outwardly extending flange connection is arranged on the container, which has a flange which is closed by an attached cover, that the flange connection is surrounded by a hood attached to the flange connection, which flange connection closes pressure-tight to the outside, that for repair or inspection of the system located in the container, the hood is cut at a separation point, and that after completion of repair or inspection, the hood is pressure-tight again attached to the flange.
- a further embodiment is characterized in that the flange is spaced from the container wall, that is attached to the flange extending to the container neck that the slipped over the flange and the nozzle hood is materially connected to the free end of the nozzle, and that the connection point is separated by simultaneous cutting of the hood and nozzle at the separation point.
- the flange is spaced from the container wall, that between the flange and the container wall is mounted parallel to the flange extending flange that the slipped over the flange connection hood is materially connected to the outer edge of the flange, and that the joint is separated by simultaneous cutting of the hood and flange at the separation point.
- the hood is connected to the flange by a weld, and after completion of the repair or inspection, the hood is again pressure-tight attached to the flange by a weld.
- the inventive container with a housed therein, in particular refrigeration system for carrying out the method according to the invention is characterized in that the container is gas-tight or pressure-sealed by cohesive connections of its parts.
- An embodiment of the container according to the invention is characterized in that at least one tube is led out from the container in the container through the container wall to the outside, and that the container for carrying the at least one tube from the container wall outwardly projecting pipe socket, through which the at least one pipe out and connected on the outside of the pipe with the outer end of the pipe socket pressure-tight.
- the at least one tube on the outside of the tube with the outer end of the pipe socket by a weld pressure-tight manner.
- Another embodiment of the container according to the invention is characterized in that an outwardly extending flange connection is arranged on the container, which has a flange which is closed by an attached cover, and in that the flange connection is surrounded by a hood attached to the flange connection, which flange connection closes pressure-tight to the outside.
- a further embodiment is characterized in that the flange is spaced from the container wall, that on the flange, a nozzle extending towards the container is brought, and that via the flange and the nozzle Stü lpte Hau be with the free end of the nozzle materially verbu conditions is.
- Another embodiment is characterized in that the flange is spaced from the container wall, that a flange ring extending parallel to the flange is mounted between the flange and the container wall, and that the hood protrudes over the flange connection with the outside Edge of the flange is cohesively verbu nden is.
- the housing is connected to the flange connection by means of a welding process.
- FIG. 1 shows in detail an example of a permanently closed container with a heat exchanger arranged therein and outwardly guided pipes, wherein the container is welded together at separation points of several parts;
- FIG. 2 shows the opening of the container for repairing or checking the system (heat exchanger) located therein according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein a part of the container is separated at a separation point;
- FIG. 3 shows a container with a system located therein according to another embodiment of the invention, with a specially designed flange connection and specially designed tube guides (FIG. 3 (a)), as well as the opening of the container at the flange connection (FIG. 3 (b)) and opening the container on a tube guide (FIG. 3 (c));

- the opening is solved in detail in such a way that the weld seam can simply be "cut out” and enough material remains to be able to re-attach a new weld seam.
- the flange connection 26 in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 3 comprises a flange 27 at the end of a pipe section protruding from the container wall, which is closed by corresponding screw connections with a cover 28.
- a nozzle 30 directed towards the container is welded to the flange 27.
- a hood 29 is welded (welding 31), which surrounds the flange connection 26 from the flange 27 to a gas-tight.
- the connection piece 30 and hood 29 are cut through (severed) at a separation point 32 such that the section with the weld 31 drops.
- the hood 29 can then be removed and the flange 26 are opened. If the flange connection 26 is subsequently closed again in a gas-tight manner, the hood 29 is placed on and connected at the separation point 32 with the shortened connection piece 30 by a new weld 31 '.

If the hood 29 'are removed, the edge and the flange 37 are severed at a separation point 36, so that the portion removed with the weld 35 and the hood 29' can be removed. When closing later, the flange ring 37 and hood 29 'are gas-tight again by a new weld 35' (FIG. 6 (b)).
