Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Einspeisung eines flüssigen Odoriermittels in ein Gasnetz, umfassend ein Gehäuse, welches als gasdurchströmbarer Rohrleitungsabschnitt ausgebildet ist, eine Odoriermitteldüse und ein Verdunstungskörper, wobei die Odoriermitteldüse und der Verdunstungskörper durch eine Öffnung in der Wand des Gehäuses in der Öffnung abgedichtet in das Gehäuse eingesetzt sind.The invention relates to a device for feeding a liquid odorant into a gas network, comprising a housing which is formed as a gas-flowable pipe section, an odorant and an evaporation body, wherein the odorant and the evaporation body sealed by an opening in the wall of the housing in the opening the housing are inserted.
Bei einer leitungsgebundenen Versorgung der Allgemeinheit mit Erdgas, welches im aufbereiteten Zustand im Wesentlichen geruchlos ist, wird aus Sicherheitsgründen gefordert, dass das Erdgas einen Geruch aufweist, sodass etwaige Leckagen im Leitungsnetz von Menschen subjektiv wahrnehmbar sind.For a general public supply of natural gas, which is essentially odorless in the prepared state, it is required for safety reasons that the natural gas has a smell, so that any leaks in the network of people are subjectively perceivable.
Sofern das aufbereitete Erdgas keinen hinreichenden Warngeruch aufweist, ist dieses nach gesetzlichen Vorschriften zu odorieren. Aus diesem Grund ist es bekannt und üblich, dem Erdgas Odoriermittel zuzugeben. Als Odoriermittel kommen üblicherweise übelriechende Substanzen in Betracht, die dem Erdgas einen schwefelartigen Geruch verleihen. Ein weit verbreitetes Odoriermittel ist beispielsweise Tetrahydrotiophen (THT). Des Weiteren werden seit einigen Jahren auch schwefelarme und schwefelfreie Odoriermittel eingesetzt.If the treated natural gas does not have a sufficient warning smell, it must be odorized according to legal regulations. For this reason, it is known and customary to add odorant to the natural gas. As odorants are usually malodorous substances into consideration, which give the natural gas a sulfur-like odor. A widely used odorant is, for example, tetrahydrotiophene (THT). Furthermore, low-sulfur and sulfur-free odorants have also been used for several years.
Normalerweise wird Erdgas in sogenannten Gastransportnetzen (Ferntransportleitungen) odoriermittelfrei bereitgestellt, eine Odorierung erfolgt von dem Gasnetzbetreiber des betreffenden Gasverteilnetzes bei der Entnahme des Gases aus dem Gastransportnetz und bei der Druckreduzierung des Gases auf den in dem Gasnetzverteildruck vorherrschenden Druck, Hierzu wird ein flüssiges Odoriermittel über eine Odorieranlage in einer örtlichen Gas-Druckregel- und Messanlage (GDRM-Anlage) zugegeben. Die Zugabe erfolgt in Abhängigkeit der Größe des normierten Gasvolumenstroms, berechnet aus den Daten des Gaszählers sowie der Gastemperatur und dem Gasdruck. Eine entsprechende Menge an Odoriermittel wird mittels einer impulsgesteuerten Dosierpumpe einer Odoriermitteldüse zugeführt. Diese Odoriermitteldüse oder auch Impfdüse ist im Allgemeinen als in die Gasleitung eingesetztes Tauchrohr ausgeführt. Das Odoriermittel wird intermittierend dem in die Gasleitung eingesetzten Tauchrohr zugeführt, wobei das Tauchrohr von dem die Gasleitung durchströmenden Erdgas umströmt wird. Dabei verdampft das flüssige Odoriermittel und wird von dem Erdgas aufgenommen.Normally, natural gas is provided odoriermittelfrei in so-called gas transport networks (remote transport lines), an odorization is carried out by the gas network operator of the relevant gas distribution network in the removal of the gas from the gas transport network and in the pressure reduction of the gas to the prevailing in the gas network distribution pressure, For this purpose, a liquid odorant is added via an odorizer in a local gas pressure regulating and measuring system (GDRM system). The addition takes place as a function of the size of the standardized gas volume flow, calculated from the data of the gas meter and the gas temperature and the gas pressure. A corresponding amount of odorant is supplied by means of a pulse-controlled metering pump odorator. This odorant or vaccine nozzle is generally designed as immersion tube inserted into the gas line. The odorant is intermittently supplied to the dip tube inserted into the gas line, wherein the dip tube is flowed around by the gas flowing through the gas line. The liquid odorant evaporates and is absorbed by the natural gas.
Normalerweise wird das Odoriermittel bei der Eindüsung in das Tauchrohr nicht zerstäubt und diskontinuierlich beziehungsweise intermittierend in Gewichtskraftrichtung dem Tauchrohr zugeführt. So ist nicht ausgeschlossen, dass das Odoriermittel nicht an dem oder in dem Tauchrohr verdunstet und das nennenswerte Mengen flüssigen Odoriermittels durch den Gasstrom mitgerissen werden und unkontrolliert in der Gasleitung verteilt werden. So ist es in der Praxis bereits aufgetreten, dass sich nennenswerte Mengen flüssigen Odoriermittels unterhalb der Impfdüse in der Gasleitung sammeln.Normally, the odorant is not atomized during injection into the dip tube and fed discontinuously or intermittently in the direction of gravity to the dip tube. Thus, it is not excluded that the odorant will not evaporate on or in the dip tube and the significant amounts of liquid odorant be entrained by the gas stream and be distributed uncontrollably in the gas line. So it has already occurred in practice that accumulate significant amounts of liquid odorant below the Impfdüse in the gas line.
Im Stand der Technik ist es grundsätzlich bekannt, die Dosierung im Sinne einer Entnahme von Odoriermittel aus einem Vorratsbehälter unter Ausnutzung des Kapillareffekts zu verbessern. So ist beispielsweise aus der
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Odorierung eines Gasstroms in einem Gasnetz bereitzustellen, mit welcher die zuvor erwähnten Nachteile behoben werden.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device for odorization of a gas stream in a gas network, with which the aforementioned disadvantages are eliminated.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object is solved with the features of claim 1, advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Ein Gesichtspunkt der Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Einspeisung eines flüssigen Odoriermittels in ein Gasnetz, umfassend ein Gehäuse, welches als gasdurchströmbarer Rohrabschnitt ausgebildet ist, eine Odoriermitteldüse, einen Verdunstungskörper, wobei die Odoriermitteldüse und der Verdunstungskörper durch eine Öffnung in der Wand des Gehäuses in der Öffnung abgedichtet in das Gehäuse eingesetzt sind, sodass sich der Verdunstungskörper wenigstens über einen Teil des freien Querschnitts des Gehäuses in dem Gehäuse erstreckt und einen Ventilkörper, der von einer ersten geöffneten Stellung in eine zweite geschlossene Stellung verbringbar ist, wobei der Ventilkörper in der zweiten Stellung den gasdurchströmbaren Querschnitt des Gehäuses verschließt und in der ersten Stellung den gasdurchströmbaren Querschnitt des Gehäuses freigibt und wobei der Ventilkörper in der zweiten Stellung mit dem Gehäuse eine Entnahmeschleuse für den Verdunstungskörper und/oder die Odoriermitteldüse bildet.One aspect of the invention relates to a device for feeding a liquid odorant in a gas network, comprising a housing which is formed as a gas-flowable pipe section, an odorant, an evaporation body, wherein the odorant and the evaporation body through an opening in the wall of the housing in the opening are sealed inserted into the housing, so that the evaporation body extends at least over part of the free cross section of the housing in the housing and a valve body which can be moved from a first open position to a second closed position, wherein the valve body in the second position the gas-permeable cross-section of the housing closes and releases in the first position the gas-permeable cross-section of the housing and wherein the valve body in the second position with the housing a removal lock forms for the evaporation body and / or the Odoriermitteldüse.
Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Vorrichtung zur Einspeisung eines flüssigen Odoriermittels bereitgestellt, welche ein Gehäuse mit einem sich darin erstreckenden Verdunstungskörper umfasst, in welchen über eine Odoriermitteldüse ein flüssiges Odoriermittel so eingebracht wird, dass der Verdunstungskörper benetzt wird und die Verdunstung des Odoriermittels fördert.According to the invention, a device for feeding a liquid odorant is provided, which comprises a housing with an extending therein evaporation body in which an odorant via a Odoriermitteldüse is introduced so that the evaporation body is wetted and promotes the evaporation of the odorant.
Das Gehäuse ist gleichzeitig als Entnahmeschleuse für den Verdunstungskörper ausgebildet. Der Verdunstungskörper kann sich im Wesentlichen über die gesamte lichte Weite des freien Gehäusequerschnitts innerhalb des Gehäuses erstrecken. Der Verdunstungskörper kann beispielsweise als ein offenporiger Schaumkörper vorgesehen sein, vorzugsweise als ein solcher, der eine gewisse Eigenstabilität aufweist. Der Verdunstungskörper kann beispielsweise als Hartschaumkörper mit einer gasdurchströmbaren Makroporenstruktur ausgebildet sein.The housing is also designed as a removal lock for the evaporation body. The evaporation body can extend substantially over the entire inside width of the free housing cross-section within the housing. The evaporation body can be provided, for example, as an open-pore foam body, preferably as one which has a certain intrinsic stability. The evaporation body may be formed, for example, as rigid foam body with a gas-flowable macroporous structure.
Unter einer Makroporenstruktur im Sinne der Erfindung ist eine offene Porenstruktur mit einem Porendurchmesser in der Größenordnung von Millimetern zu verstehen, beispielsweise können die Poren des Verdunstungskörpers einen Durchmesser zwischen 1 mm bis 10 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 4 mm und 5 mm aufweisen.A macroporous structure in the sense of the invention means an open pore structure with a pore diameter in the order of millimeters, for example, the pores of the evaporation body can have a diameter between 1 mm to 10 mm, preferably between 4 mm and 5 mm.
Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn der Verdunstungskörper aus einem Metallschaum ausgebildet ist, beispielsweise aus Aluminiumschaum. Alternativ kommen Metallschäume auf Eisen- oder Nickelbasis in Betracht. Beispielsweise können solche Metallschäume Anwendung finden, die im Schlickerreaktionsschaumsinter-Verfahren aus Eisenbasis- und Nickelbasispulver hergestellt wurden.It is expedient if the evaporation body is formed of a metal foam, for example of aluminum foam. Alternatively, metal foams based on iron or nickel come into consideration. For example, such metal foams find application in the slip reaction foam sintering process made of iron-based and nickel-based powder.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung können auch Verdunstungskörper als Kunststoffschaumkörper vorgesehen sein.Within the scope of the invention, evaporation bodies may also be provided as plastic foam bodies.
Der Verdunstungskörper kann in einer gasdurchströmbaren Einfassung oder in einem gasdurchströmbaren Gehäuse vorgesehen sein, welches beispielsweise auch in Form eines perforierten Tauchrohrs ausgebildet sein kann.The evaporation body may be provided in a gas-permeable enclosure or in a gas-permeable housing, which may be formed, for example, in the form of a perforated dip tube.
Alternativ kann der Verdunstungskörper als Gehäuse mit einer Faserfüllung oder einer Lamellenstruktur ausgebildet sein. Als Faserfüllung kann beispielsweise eine Metallwolle oder eine Stahlwolle vorgesehen sein. Alternativ hierzu können chemisch beständige Kunststofffasern in einem mit Durchströmungsöffnungen versehenen Gehäuse angeordnet sein. Die besondere Ausgestaltung der Entnahmeschleuse gemäß der Erfindung ermöglicht es, den Verdunstungskörper im Wesentlichen ohne Demontage und Außerbetriebnahme der Gasleitung auszutauschen. Ebenso ist selbstverständlich ein einfacher Austausch der Odoriermitteldüse mit dem Verdunstungskörper oder nur der Odoriermitteldüse möglich. Unter einer Entnahmeschleuse im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Raum innerhalb des Gehäuses zu verstehen, der relativ zu dem gasdurchströmbaren Rohrleitungsabschnitt hermetisch absperrbar ist.Alternatively, the evaporation body may be formed as a housing with a fiber filling or a lamellar structure. As fiber filling, for example, a metal wool or a steel wool can be provided. Alternatively, chemically resistant plastic fibers may be disposed in a housing provided with flow openings. The particular embodiment of the removal lock according to the invention makes it possible to replace the evaporation body substantially without disassembly and decommissioning of the gas line. Likewise, of course, a simple replacement of Odoriermitteldüse with the evaporation body or only the Odoriermitteldüse is possible. Under a removal lock in the context of the present invention, a space within the housing is to be understood, which is hermetically shut off relative to the gas-flowable pipe section.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dass die Entnahmeschleuse für die Odoriermitteldüse und/oder den Verdunstungskörper durch nur einen einzigen Ventilkörper gebildet wird, der gleichzeitig den Querschnitt der Gasleitung versperrt. Dadurch entfällt die Notwendigkeit, das Gehäuse der Vorrichtung zur Einspeisung des flüssigen Odoriermittels jeweils beiderseits eines Anschlusses an die Gasleitung absperren zu müssen.It is particularly advantageous that the removal lock for the odorant nozzle and / or the evaporation body is formed by only a single valve body which simultaneously obstructs the cross section of the gas line. This eliminates the need for the housing of the device for feeding the liquid odorant on both sides to shut off a connection to the gas line.
In einem Gasleitungsabschnitt beispielsweise innerhalb einer GDRM-Anlage umfassend die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist es sinnvoll und zweckmäßig, eine Umgehungsleitung für die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung vorzusehen.In a gas line section, for example, within a GDRM system comprising the device according to the invention, it is expedient and expedient to provide a bypass line for the device according to the invention.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Variante der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Ventilkörper eine Schleusenkammer aufweist, die mit einem Ventilsitz des Gehäuses so zusammenwirkt, dass der Ventilsitz die Schleusenkammer abdichtet, wenn sich der Ventilkörper in der zweiten, geschlossenen Stellung befindet.In a particularly preferred variant of the device according to the invention it is provided that the valve body has a lock chamber which cooperates with a valve seat of the housing so that the valve seat seals the lock chamber when the valve body is in the second, closed position.
Als Schleusenkammer kann beispielsweise ein Hohlraum im Ventilkörper vorgesehen sein, der so bemessen ist, dass dieser den Verdunstungskörper und vorzugsweise auch Teile der Odoriermitteldüse aufnehmen kann.As a lock chamber, for example, a cavity may be provided in the valve body, which is dimensioned so that it can accommodate the evaporation body and preferably also parts of the Odoriermitteldüse.
Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, wenn eine Einrichtung zur Vorentspannung der Schleusenkammer vorgesehen ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, nach dem Absperren des freien Querschnitts des Gehäuses zunächst die Schleusenkammer von dem in dem Gehäuse vorherrschenden Druck zu entlasten, sodass das Gehäuse sodann von außen zwecks Entnahme des Verdunstungskörpers und/oder der Odoriermitteldüse geöffnet werden kann.It is particularly useful if a device for preliminary relaxation of the lock chamber is provided. This makes it possible, after shutting off the free cross section of the housing, first to relieve the lock chamber from the prevailing pressure in the housing, so that the housing can then be opened from the outside for the purpose of removing the evaporation body and / or the odorant.
Der Verdunstungskörper kann beispielsweise in einer Tauchhülse oder einem Tauchrohr der Odoriermitteldüse angeordnet sein. Der Verdunstungskörper und die Odoriermitteldüse können beispielsweise eine ganzes zu handhabende Einheit in Form einer Patrone bilden.The evaporation body can be arranged, for example, in a dip tube or a dip tube of the odorant. For example, the evaporation body and the odorant nozzle may form a whole unit to be handled in the form of a cartridge.
Als Vorentspannungseinrichtung zur Vorentspannung der Schleusenkammer kann beispielsweise die Odoriermitteldüse ein Vorentspannungsventil aufweisen, dass zweckmäßigerweise an einem Teil der Odoriermitteldüse angeordnet ist, der sich außerhalb des Gehäuses erstreckt.As Vorentspannungseinrichtung for preliminary relaxation of the lock chamber, for example, the Odoriermitteldüse having a Vorentspannungsventil that is suitably arranged on a part of the Odoriermitteldüse which extends outside of the housing.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist der Ventilkörper als Kugelventilkörper ausgebildet, der einen Durchströmungskanal aufweist. Die Odoriermitteldüse und/oder der Verdunstungskörper können beispielsweise eine Durchführung in einem Pol des Kugelventilkörpers durchsetzen. Ein solcher Kugelventilkörper umfasst zweckmäßigerweise zwei diametral gegenüber liegende Pole, die die Symmetrieachse und Rotationsachse des Kugelventilkörpers definieren. An einem Pol kann eine Schaltwelle zur Betätigung des Kugelventilkörpers angreifen, an dem gegenüberliegenden Pol kann eine Durchführung vorgesehen sein, in die die Odoriermitteldüse und/oder der Verdunstungskörper eintauchen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention, the valve body is designed as a ball valve body having a flow channel. The odorant nozzle and / or the evaporation body can, for example, enforce a passage in one pole of the ball valve body. Such a ball valve body expediently comprises two diametrically opposite poles which define the axis of symmetry and the axis of rotation of the ball valve body. At one pole, a switching shaft for actuating the ball valve body attack, at the opposite pole may be provided a passage into which drown the Odoriermitteldüse and / or the evaporation body.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Kugelventilkörper über ein Kugelhahn betätigbar, der an einer das Gehäuse durchsetzenden Schaltwelle befestigt ist.Conveniently, the ball valve body via a ball valve is actuated, which is secured to a housing passing through the selector shaft.
Bei einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung ist der Ventilkörper als Schieber, insbesondere als Keilschieber, ausgebildet, der über einen Spindeltrieb betätigbar ist.In an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention, the valve body is designed as a slide, in particular as a wedge slide, which can be actuated via a spindle drive.
Bei einer weiteren Variante der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Gehäuse einen ersten, zweiten und dritten Rohrleitungsabgang aufweist, dass der Ventilkörper in der zweiten geschlossenen Stellung den dritten Rohrleitungsabgang freigibt und dass der dritte Rohrleitungsabgang mit einem Revisionsdeckel verschlossen ist.In a further variant of the device according to the invention it is provided that the housing has a first, second and third pipe outlet, that the valve body releases the third pipe outlet in the second closed position and that the third Pipeline outlet is closed with a revision cover.
Bei dieser Variante der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung begrenzt der Revisionsdeckel mit dem Gehäuse die Entnahmeschleuse. Der Revisionsdeckel kann beispielsweise mit einem Schauglas versehen sein, das eine Sichtkontrolle der Entnahmeschleuse, des Verdunstungskörpers oder der Odoriermitteldüse ermöglicht.In this variant of the device according to the invention, the inspection cover with the housing limits the removal lock. The inspection cover may for example be provided with a sight glass, which allows a visual inspection of the removal lock, the evaporation body or the Odoriermitteldüse.
Der erste, zweite und der dritte Rohrleitungsabgang können alle etwa den gleichen Querschnitt aufweisen, wobei vorzugsweise der erste und der zweite Rohrleitungsabgang den gasdurchströmbaren Rohrleitungsabschnitt der Vorrichtung bilden. Durch den dritten Rohrleitungsabgang wird eine verhältnismäßig große Zugangsöffnung zu der Entnahmeschleuse bereitgestellt. Dadurch besteht die Möglichkeit, ein Bauteil, wie beispielsweise die Odoriermitteldüse oder den Verdunstungskörper von der Seite in die Vorrichtung einzusetzen. Hierdurch steht ein größerer Querschnitt zum Einbringen von Bauteilen in die Vorrichtung zur Verfügung.The first, second and third pipe outlets may all have approximately the same cross-section, wherein preferably the first and the second pipe outlets form the gas-throughflowable pipe section of the device. Through the third pipe outlet a relatively large access opening is provided to the removal lock. This makes it possible to insert a component, such as the Odoriermitteldüse or the evaporation body from the side into the device. As a result, a larger cross-section is available for introducing components into the device.
Eine Vorentspannung der Schleusenkammer kann in der zuvor beschriebenen Art und Weise oder über einen Anschluss, welcher im Bereich der Entnahmeschleuse angeordnet ist, erfolgen.A preliminary relaxation of the lock chamber can take place in the manner described above or via a connection which is arranged in the region of the removal lock.
