Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel pump unit for a fuel dispensing unit, a fuel dispensing unit for refuelling a vehicle and a method for handling a fuel pump unit for a fuel dispensing unit.
  • a submersible turbine pump associated with an underground storage tank is often used to pump fuel to one or more fuel dispensers.
  • some fuel dispensers comprise a self-contained pumping unit, meaning fuel is drawn to the fuel dispenser by a motor-driven pump positioned within the fuel dispenser housing.
  • these fuel dispensers typically comprise a self-contained pump for each grade of fuel.
  • these pumps are sliding vane pumps or gear pumps and are driven by a motor which operates at a fixed speed.
  • WO 2015/187976 A2 discloses a fuel dispenser comprising a control system in electronic communication with a motor of a pump and with a displacement sensor operatively connected to a fuel flow meter.
  • the pump is located within the fuel dispenser housing, and the motor is operative to turn a shaft coupled with a pumping element to pump fuel from a storage tank through the fuel dispenser.
  • a method of controlling the fuel dispenser is also disclosed. The method comprises receiving at the control system information representative of the flow rate of fuel through the fuel flow meter, receiving at the control system information representative of at least one operational characteristic of the motor, and comparing the information representative of the flow rate of fuel to the information representative of the at least one operational characteristic of the motor.
  • a fuel dispenser having an integrated pump normally comprises a bypass spring valve arranged between the suction side and the pressure side of the pump.
  • the pump is driven by a motor which operates at a fixed speed.
  • the pump is used in a fuel dispenser to supply fuel to two or more nozzles for delivering the same grade of fuel.
  • the pump is designed to produce a fuel stream having a sufficient pressure to allow simultaneous fuelling from the two or more nozzles at a desirable flow rate.
  • the bypass valve remains closed.
  • a backpressure develops and causes the bypass valve to open. Thereby, a portion of the pumped fuel is recirculated to the inlet of the pump.
  • a fuel pump unit for a fuel dispensing unit which fuel pump unit comprises a pump with a suction side and a pressure side, and a first bypass channel arranged between the pressure side and the suction side, which first bypass channel comprises a first control valve.
  • the fuel pump unit is characterized in that it further comprises a second bypass channel extending between the pressure side and the suction side, which second bypass channel comprises a second control valve.
  • the second valve is opened at a degree to allow fuel to pass through the second bypass channel at a predetermined rate.
  • the fuel flow in the second bypass channel is set at a rate to ensure that enough backpressure is developed to barley open the first control valve of the first bypass channel.
  • the invention will also make it possible to drive the pump at a higher fixed speed to increase the fuel flow rate.
  • the capacity of the second bypass channel may be greater than the capacity of the first bypass channel.
  • the capacity of the of first and second bypass channel is preferably measured based on fuel flow rate and/or pressure drop.
  • the strain acting on the first control valve in the first bypass channel is reduced. This will make it possible to minimize the size of the first bypass channel and to integrate it with the pump.
  • the first bypass channel may connect the suction side with the pressure side inside the pump.
  • the fuel pump unit may further comprise a control unit which is adapted to control an opening degree of the second control valve based on an application level of the fuel dispensing unit.
  • the pump may be equipped with at least one flow meter at the pressure side of the pump adapted to measure the fuel flow rate there through.
  • the control unit may be adapted to control the opening degree of the second control valve based on a fuel flow rate detected by the at least one flow meter.
  • the control unit may be further adapted to periodically start the pump to recirculate fuel through the first bypass channel and/or the second bypass channel.
  • Another advantage of periodic recirculation of the fuel is that the bacteria growth on such fuel filters, which may occur when using fuels made from biological raw materials like bio-diesel, will be reduced.
  • the adherence of bacteria to surfaces is a process that is greatly enhanced in a stagnant environment, which is only present around the fuel filter when the fuel pump is stopped. The occasional starting of recirculation through the fuel filter will reduce the possibilities of bacteria adhering to the fuel filter surfaces.
  • the first control valve may be a spring valve
  • the second control valve may be a proportional valve.
  • the proportional valve may be controlled by electromagnetism.
  • a fuel dispensing unit for refuelling a vehicle which comprises a fuel pump unit according to the features described above.
  • a method for handling a fuel pump unit for a fuel dispensing unit comprises a pump with a suction side and a pressure side, a first bypass channel arranged between the pressure side and the suction side, the first bypass channel comprising a first control valve, and a second bypass channel extending between the pressure side and the suction side, the second bypass channel comprising a second control valve.
  • the method is characterized by the step of controlling an opening degree of the second control valve based on an application level of the fuel dispensing unit.
  • the step of controlling the opening degree of the second control valve may comprise setting the fuel flow there through at a rate to ensure that enough backpressure is developed to barley open the first control valve in the first bypass channel.
  • the method may further comprise the step of detecting a total fuel flow rate required at nozzles of the fuel dispensing unit at a present time point to control the opening degree of the second control valve accordingly.
  • application level it is meant to which extent the fuel dispensing unit is used. That is to say, the term is related to the overall flow rate of the fuel that is to be delivered from the nozzles of the fuel dispensing unit during use.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an exemplary fuel dispensing unit 1, having hose storage spaces 2 on each opposing side of the fuel dispensing unit 1, an electrical cabinet 3 containing all the electronics for the fuel dispensing unit 1, a hydraulic cabinet 4 containing fuel dispensing means (not shown), e.g. fuel metering means, valves, vapour recovery system etc., and a column 5 extending vertically between and separating the electrical cabinet 3 and the hydraulic cabinet 4 from the hose storage spaces.
  • fuel dispensing means e.g. fuel metering means, valves, vapour recovery system etc.
  • the fuel dispensing unit 1 is connected to an underground reservoir (not shown) containing fuel.
  • an underground reservoir (not shown) containing fuel.
  • the fuel is pumped from the underground reservoir by means of a pump (not shown) which is located in the hydraulic cabinet 4, and from there to the column 5 and out to a nozzle 7 via a hose 6.
  • the fuel dispensing unit 1 has a nozzle boot 15 for each nozzle 7, which nozzle boot 15 preferably comprises a sensor (not shown) for detecting if the nozzle 7 is present in the nozzle boot 15. Further, the nozzle 7 is equipped with a flow meter (not shown) for detecting the fuel flow rate from the nozzle 7 upon refuelling.
  • FIG. 2 an exemplary embodiment of a fuel pump unit 8 for the fuel dispensing unit 1 is illustrated.
  • the fuel pump unit 8 comprises a pump 9 with a suction side S and a pressure side P, a first bypass channel 10 arranged between the pressure side P and the suction side S of the pump 9, and a second bypass 11 channel extending between the pressure side P and the suction side S.
  • the first bypass channel 10 comprises a first control valve 12 and the second bypass channel 11 comprises a second control valve 13.
  • the first control valve 12 is constituted by a spring valve and the second control valve 13 is constituted by a proportional valve which is controlled by means of electromagnetism.
  • the capacity of the second bypass channel 11 is greater than the capacity of the first bypass channel 11.
  • the capacity of the first and second bypass channel 10, 11 is preferably measured based on fuel flow rate or pressure drop.
  • a main fuel supply pipe 14 extends between the underground reservoir and the suction side S of the pump 9, while the hose 6 extends between the pressure side P of the pump 9 and a fuel nozzle 7.
  • the suction side S provides an underpressure to the main fuel supply pipe 14 and the pressure side S provides an overpressure to the hose 6.
  • the pump 9 is equipped with a flow meter 16 which is adapted to measure the fuel flow rate.
  • the fuel pump unit 8 further comprises a control unit 17 which is connected to the pump 9, the first and second control valve 12, 13 and to all flow meters 16 and sensors present in the fuel dispensing unit 1.
  • the control unit 17 is adapted to control the opening degree of the second control valve 13 based on the application level of the fuel dispensing unit 1. In one embodiment, the control unit 17 is adapted to control the opening degree of the second control valve 13 based on a fuel flow rate detected by the flow meter 16 of the pump 9.
  • the first and second control valves 12, 13 can be used for constantly adjusting the flow through the first and second bypass channel 10, 11 or for shutting the bypass channels 10, 11 completely if required.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates a further exemplary embodiment of the fuel pump unit 8.
  • two hoses 6 are connected to the pressure side P of the pump 9.
  • the remaining components of the fuel pump unit 8 are the same as disclosed above.
  • the fuel pump unit 8 is capable of handling refuelling of two different vehicles simultaneously, i.e. the pressure side P of the pump 9 is connected to two fuel hoses 6, one for each side of the fuel dispensing unit 1.
  • the motor (not shown) driving the pump 9 is operated at a fixed speed during use of the fuel dispensing unit 1.
  • the motor operates at the same speed when one of the nozzles 7 are used for refuelling as when both of the nozzles 7 are in operation simultaneously.
  • this provides for a big strain on the one and only bypass channel extending between the pressure side and the suction side of the pump, as well as on the control valve normally present therein.
  • the senor in the nozzle boot 15 will detect that the nozzle 7 has left the same and start the pump motor.
  • the desirable fuel flow rate out from the nozzle 7 in operation may be about 30 litres/minute.
  • the second control valve 13 of the second bypass channel 11 is simply opened to a degree where 70 litres/minute is circulated through the second bypass channel 11 with the result of a fuel flow rate of 30 litres/minute out from the nozzle 7.
  • the second control valve 13 of the second bypass channel 11 is adjusted to ensure that enough backpressure is developed to barley open the first control valve 12 of the first bypass channel 10.
  • the fuel flow rate out from the nozzle 7 in use based on information of the flow meter at the nozzle 7.
  • the desirable fuel flow rate out from each nozzle 7 in operation might be about 30 litres/minute, i.e. 60 litres/minute in total.
  • the second control valve 13 of the second bypass channel 11 is simply adjusted to a degree where 40 litres/minute is circulated through the second bypass channel 11 with the result of a fuel flow rate of 30 litres/minute out from each nozzle 7.
  • the fuel flow rate out from the nozzles 7 in use can then be adjusted based on information of the flow meters of the same.
  • the second bypass channel 11 could also be used for reducing clogging of fuel filters (not shown) present in the fuel pump unit 8.
  • the pump 9 creates an underpressure at the suction side S of the pump 9 that will suck fuel from the underground reservoir (not shown).
  • the fuel filter will prevent particles contained in the fuel from entering the pump and the rest of the fuel dispensing system. Particles in the fuel will adhere to the filter surface. The amount of trapped particles will build up until the filter will have to be cleaned by maintenance of the fuel dispensing unit 1. This process is worsened due to congealing fuel components forming wax on the filter, especially in cold weather, and, in the case of bio fuels, due to bacterial growth on the filter and particles.
  • these processes are reduced by introducing a periodical recirculation of fuel from the pressure side S of the pump 9 via the second bypass channel 11 to a point upstream of the fuel filter in the flow direction when the fuel dispensing unit 1 is not in use.
  • the fuel pump 9 is periodically started when the fuel dispensing unit 1 is not in use. Since the nozzle 7 is closed in that situation all fuel pumped by the pump 9, will be forced to recirculate at least through the second bypass channel 11. Additional fuel from the underground storage tank will not be added since the volume in the system is kept constant while the nozzle 7 is closed. The fuel in the recirculation process will thus be pumped in a loop from the outlet of the second bypass channel 11 in the main fuel supply pipe 14, through the fuel filter, through the pump 9 and through the second bypass channel 11. The movement of fuel through the fuel filter will reduce the adherence of congealing fuel components on the filter. The recirculation will also generate heat from friction between the recirculated fuel and the walls in the piping and pump 9.
  • the recirculation will also reduce bacterial growth when dispensing bio fuel with the fuel dispensing unit.
  • the growth of bacteria is reduced by the movement of the fuel.
  • the bacterial adherence to the fuel filter will also be reduced by the movement of the recirculated fuel.
  • the capacity of the first bypass channel 10 and the second bypass channel 11 may also be established by means of their size, for example by means of the lengths and/or the cross-sections of the same.
