Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing device for liquid fuel, comprising a container for the fuel, a fuel pump arranged elevated relative to the container, and a pipeline connecting the container to the fuel pump.
  • a dispensing device for liquid fuel comprising a container for the fuel, a fuel pump arranged elevated relative to the container, and a pipeline connecting the container to the fuel pump.
  • Such dispensers are z. B. from the publication EP 931 761 is known, wherein the dispensing apparatus of the present invention is provided with a dispenser-side shut-off valve and a gas sensor arranged on the container side of the shut-off valve for checking the pipeline at its dispenser side for gas occurrences inside.
  • Dispensing devices equipped in a similar manner are described, for example, in the publications DE 200 21 937 U and WO 2008/106989 shown .
  • Such dispensers are used, for example, at vehicle petrol stations but also generally for dispensing fuel and not only enable the vehicle to be refueled, ie the fuel dispensed, but also to detect a leak in the pipeline, even if it is single-walled.
  • a leak in the pipeline even if it is single-walled.
  • the gas bubbles in the pipeline rise in the direction of the elevated dispenser and collect at the check valve to form a "gas bubble", which is detected by the gas sensor.
  • the pipeline has a shut-off valve on the container side, for example at the container inlet or at the end of the pipeline inside the container.
  • the disadvantage here is that in the event of a leak in the pipeline, at the latest after the end of the dispensing process, fuel escapes through the leak into the environment and contaminates it. Even if the leak is detected quickly, removing the contamination, usually the entire contaminated soil, is time-consuming and expensive.
  • a remedy is provided, for example, by a double-walled pipeline with leak monitoring inside the double wall.
  • Such a double-walled pipeline is expensive and complex to install, particularly when it is retrofitted.
  • the leak monitoring is connected with negative or positive pressure control and corresponding sensors and is therefore just as complex.
  • the aim is achieved with a dispensing device of the type mentioned in the introduction, which is characterized in that the pipeline has no further check valve.
  • a negative pressure is created in the pipeline by gravity and back-flowing fuel. If there is a leak, this negative pressure causes gas to be sucked into the pipeline, which on the one hand enlarges the gas bubble that forms at the check valve so that the leak is detected more reliably and on the other hand reliably prevents fuel from escaping into the environment and thus avoiding contamination.
  • Such a device is also easily achievable on the basis of an existing prior art dispensing device, since the pipeline does not have to be exchanged, only access to the container is required.
  • shut-off valve on the container side
  • the fuel is liquid
  • backflow into the container is minimal with no leak in the piping, allowing the subsequent dispensing process to begin quickly.
  • the pipeline is single-walled. Complicated negative or positive pressure generation and control is thus eliminated, as is a costly double-walled pipeline that is difficult to lay.
  • the shut-off valve is a non-return valve blocking in the direction of the container.
  • the dispenser has a pump to pump the fuel.
  • the pump also generates a negative pressure in the pipeline during the delivery of fuel, so that an escape of fuel is also effectively prevented in this operating state of the delivery device.
  • the dispenser 1 of the example of FIG 1 comprises a container 3 for the fuel 2 and a dispenser 4, which is arranged higher than the container 3; for this purpose, the container 3 is arranged, for example, underground.
  • a pipe 5 connects the container 3 with the dispenser 4 which is higher than this and thus rises from the container 3 to the dispenser 4 .
  • the fuel pump 4 optionally has a pump 6 which conveys the liquid fuel 2 via the pipeline 5 from the container 3 into the elevated fuel pump 4 during a delivery process, so that there is negative pressure in the pipeline 5 .
  • the pipeline 5 has a shut-off valve 7 on its side facing the fuel pump 4--generally directly below the fuel pump 4.
  • the pipeline 5 also has a shut-off valve 8 on the container side ', 8", e.g. a container-side check valve 8' at the inlet 9 of the container 3 or a tank-side check valve 8" at the end 10 of the pipe 5 inside the tank 3.
  • the pipeline 5 has a gas sensor 12 for checking the pipeline 5 for the presence of gas 13 on its dispenser side 14.
  • the gas sensor 12 is on the container side—usually directly below the check valve 7 on the dispenser side—in the pipeline 5.
  • the pipe 5 is both during the dispensing of fuel 2 ( 2 ) as well as after completion of the dispensing process and after closing the check valves 7, 8', 8" ( 3 ) each completely filled with the liquid fuel 2.
  • the pipeline 5 has no further shut-off valve beyond the shut-off valve 7 on the dispenser side, i.e. in particular no shut-off valve 8', 8" on the container side
  • the tubing 5 is optionally single walled, but could alternatively be double or multiple walled in the normal case, liquid fuel 2 is prevented from flowing back from the dispenser 4 via the pipeline 5 to the container 3 after the dispensing process has ended.
