Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and filling device.
- the invention relates more particularly to a method for filling a liquefied gas tank, in particular a cryogenic liquid tank, from a liquefied gas tank, in particular a cryogenic liquid tank, the tank being fluidly connected to the tank via a filling line, the method using a pressure differential generating member for transferring liquid from the tank to the tank at a predetermined pressure, the pressure differential generating member being switchable between a pressure state, operating and a stopped state, the filling line comprising a fluid flow regulating member disposed downstream of the pressure differential generating member, the flow regulating member being movable between a non-conducting position in which the flow of liquid is interrupted and at least one passing position in which the flow of liquid is transferred v
- the method comprises measuring a first instantaneous pressure in the filling line downstream of the flow control member.
- the invention can be applied to the filling of any cryogenic container (mobile or otherwise) from any other cryogenic container (mobile or otherwise).
- the receiving tank and / or the filling device It is thus necessary to equip the receiving tank and / or the filling device with a safety system preventing overfilling or excessive pressure buildup of the tank which would cause the latter to break.
- the number of tanks to be filled is significantly greater than the number of filling devices, the safety system is preferably applied to the filling devices.
- a known solution consists in equipping the filling port of the reservoir with a pneumatic valve which closes when the pressure in the reservoir reaches a predetermined threshold.
- This solution presents disadvantages among which the need to provide maintenance of this pneumatic valve, a high cost of installation on all tanks requiring protection.
- Another known solution is to provide a calibrated orifice at the filling port of the tank to maintain the filling rate in secure ranges, typically at a rate that can be evacuated by the existing security organs of the storage. This solution is also installed on the tanks and penalizes the filling time.
- Another solution consists in providing an electrical system for detecting overpressure at the reservoir (if necessary via a thermistor at the overflow gauge valve) which, in response, stops the filling pump.
- This solution requires a specific connection between each tank and each filling device and if necessary is based on an action by the operator.
- Another solution (see for example WO2005008121A1 ) consists in measuring the pressure at the reservoir via a safety hose provided for this purpose so as to stop the pump in case of a problem.
- This solution requires an additional hose connection and circuitry adapted to the level of the tank.
- Another solution consists in providing specific fluidic connections between filling devices and the reservoirs according to determined pressure ranges. This solution imposes obvious constraints in terms of logistics in particular.
- the document US6212719 describes a system for automatically stopping a filling pump in case of rupture of the supply hose via two pressure sensors arranged at both ends of the transfer hose. The detection of a pressure drop triggers the shutdown of the pump.
- the document EP1291575A describes a method of controlling a filling wherein the pressure is measured continuously.
- the filling control is performed according to a predetermined program based on the intrinsic characteristics of the tank (maximum operating pressure ...) and communicated to the filling device at the beginning of filling.
- This document provides for adjusting the predetermined program according to the current conditions (pressure in the tank, temperature, etc.).
- An object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages of the prior art noted above.
- the method according to the invention may be essentially characterized in that, at the moment or after the setting in operation of the pressure differential generating member, the method comprises a step of determining the pressure in the tank via a first pressure measurement at the filling line, the method comprising, after the determination of the pressure in the tank, a step of limiting the first instantaneous pressure below a maximum pressure threshold, the maximum pressure threshold being defined as a function of the determined value of the pressure in the tank and exceeding the determined value of the pressure in the tank from two to twenty bar and preferably from two to nine bar.
- the invention may also relate to any alternative device or method comprising any combination of the above or below features.
- the figures 1 and 9 illustrate in simplified manner an example of a filling installation that can be used according to the invention.
- the filling device comprises a tank 2 of cryogenic liquid.
- This tank 2 is for example a double-walled tank whose inter-wall is isolated under vacuum.
- the tank 2 is for example mobile and transportable if necessary on a delivery truck such as a semi-trailer.
- the tank 2 contains liquefied gas and can be selectively fluidically connected to a tank 1 to be filled via a filling line 3.
- the filling pipe 3 comprises an upstream end connected to the storage volume of the tank 2 and a downstream end selectively connectable to the tank 1.
- the filling pipe 3 is provided with a member 4 for generating a fluid pressure differential. and, downstream of the latter, a valve 12 with variable opening.
- the member 4 for generating a pressure differential is a pump.
- the device for generating a differential of pressure can typically comprise a vaporizer and / or a heater associated with at least one valve for raising the pressure in the tank 2 and allow its transfer to a tank. Any other member for generating a pressure differential for causing the transfer of fluid from the tank 2 to the tank 1 can also be used.
- the valve 12 with variable opening is preferably a manually operated valve (although this is not limiting for all that).
- the device further comprises a first pressure sensor 13 disposed on the filling pipe 3 downstream of the variable opening valve 12.
- the device further comprises an electronic logic 16 connected to the pump 4 and the pressure sensor 13.
- the electronic logic 16 comprises for example a microprocessor and an associated memory.
- the electronic logic 16 may be connected to at least one controlled valve 128, 12 located on the filling pipe 3.
- the pressure differential generation member comprises a vaporizer 11 located in a pressurization pipe 10 associated with a valve 128 to increase the pressure in the tank 2.
- the pressure increase is carried out by sampling of the liquid of the tank 2, by vaporizing and reintroducing it into the tank 2.
- This rise in pressure in the tank 2 generates a pressure differential which makes it possible to create a flow of liquid in the filling line 3.
- the actual filling and stopping of the filling can be defined by the state or not of a valve 12 on the pipe 3 filling.
- the electronic logic 16 is configured to control or detect an M start or an AR stop of the generation member 4 of a pressure differential.

- the purge time can be adapted according to the characteristics of the purge valve (typically the flow coefficient Cv of the valve) and those of the pipe to be purged (typically length and diameter). This makes it possible in particular to limit the risk of hypoxia of the operators depending on the nature of the gas released. This purge thus makes it possible at least partially to empty, in particular, the downstream portion of the filling pipe 3, in particular in the flexible part.
- the stop filling can be achieved by activating a by-pass returning the liquid downstream of the pump 4 to the tank 2. As illustrated in FIG. figure 6 this can be achieved by opening the bypass valve 55 of the bypass line 8.

- the electronic logic 16 is configured to compare the transfer of liquid in the tank 1 with a determined threshold S and, when the transfer of liquid in the tank 1 does not reach this threshold S during the duration TQ of pre - flow control, the electronic logic 16 interrupts the operation of the pump 4 (see references 201 and 202 figure 12 ).

- the device can use the PT50 pressure sensor 29 upstream of the bypass valves 5, 55 (cf. figure 2 ).
- an increase of the first pressure PT3 above a threshold determined simultaneously with a decrease in the pressure PT50 determined in the bypass line 8 corresponds to a sufficient effective transfer.
- the first instantaneous pressure PT3 in the filling line 3 is measured downstream of the pump 4 at the moment when the transfer of liquid into the tank 1 reaches the determined threshold S (PT3 (S). 204 figure 12 ).

- the minimum pressure threshold PT3min is a predetermined fixed value, possibly adjustable, for example between two bar and ten bar and preferably between four and ten bar, in particular five bar.
- the determined duration TP pre-pressure control is for example between five and one hundred eighty seconds and preferably between ten and thirty seconds, for example fifteen seconds.
- the method may then comprise a filling control as described above with particular reference to the figure 10 .
- the figure 12 reproduced by way of example the steps 103, 104, 105 and 106 of the figure 9 .
- this process will not be described a second time.
- the predetermined high threshold Pmax used to interrupt the filling, if any, mentioned above is calculated or defined at the end of the determined duration TP pre-pressure control. That is, the first PT3 pressure measurement or measurements used to define the first reference pressure PT3ref (or an average of these pressures mPT3ref) is carried out at the end of the determined pre-control duration TP. pressure (in the case of course where the pump 4 is not stopped).
- timer A mentioned above may include the controls described with reference to the figure 12 .

- This safety measure makes it possible to detect a pressure drop corresponding to an abnormally late opening of the valves of the tank 1. That is, if this decrease in the first pressure PT3 occurs during filling, this means that previously the tank 1 was isolated from the filling pipe 3 and that the previous measurements and calculations were erroneous, in particular the determination of the pressure PT4 in the tank.
