En la actualidad, en general no se verifica la existencia de fugas de combustible en las instalaciones para el suministro de hidrocarburos, o si se efectúan, tal verificación se realiza con complejos sistemas de verificación que controlan variaciones de presión.At present, in general the existence of fuel leaks in the facilities for the hydrocarbon supply, or if carried out, such verification is performs with complex verification systems that control pressure variations
Con el fin de alcanzar los objetivos y evitar los inconvenientes mencionados en los apartados anteriores, la invención propone una instalación para el suministro de hidrocarburos que se caracteriza porque incluye un dispositivo detector de cambio de estado del combustible instalado en un punto elevado de la tubería de aspiración que va desde un depósito de combustible dispuesto por debajo del suelo hasta un aparato surtidor, de manera que si se produce una fuga de fluido a lo largo de esa tubería, será detectada rápidamente por el dispositivo detector por estar el mismo instalado precisamente en un punto elevado de esa tubería.In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes an installation for the supply of hydrocarbons that is characterized because it includes a device one-point fuel state change detector raised from the suction pipe from a reservoir of fuel arranged below ground to an appliance dispenser, so that if a fluid leakage occurs along of that pipe, it will be quickly detected by the device detector because it is installed precisely at one point raised from that pipe.
A su vez, el dispositivo detector de cambio de estado está asociado a un dispositivo de alarma como medio de aviso de la fuga que evidentemente avisará de la anomalía producida.In turn, the change detection device of status is associated with an alarm device as a warning of the leak that will obviously warn of the anomaly produced.
La tubería de aspiración comprende un tramo inferior que va desde el fondo del depósito hasta una arqueta dispuesta por encima del mismo, otro tramo intermedio que alcanza hasta un cuerpo tubular flexible y un tramo superior que conecta con una bomba de aspiración ubicada en el aparato surtidor, estando instalado precisamente el dispositivo detector de cambio de estado del fluido en ese tramo superior de tubería.The suction pipe comprises a section bottom that goes from the bottom of the tank to a chest arranged above it, another intermediate section that reaches up to a flexible tubular body and an upper section that connects with a suction pump located in the dispensing device, being precisely installed the state change detector device of the fluid in that upper section of pipe.
A continuación para facilitar una mejor comprensión de esta memoria descriptiva y formando parte integrante de la misma se acompañan unas figuras en las que con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo se ha representado el objeto de la invención.Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same accompany some figures in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.
Figura 1.- Muestra una vista de una instalación para el suministro de hidrocarburos, objeto de la invención. Incorpora un característico dispositivo detector de fugas.Figure 1.- Shows a view of an installation for the supply of hydrocarbons, object of the invention. It incorporates a characteristic leak detection device.
Figuras 2 y 3.- Muestran respectivas vistas de una parte de la instalación de la invención donde se encuentra ubicado el dispositivo detector de fugas.Figures 2 and 3.- Show respective views of a part of the installation of the invention where it is located located the leak detection device.
Considerando la numeración adoptada en las figuras, la instalación para el suministro de hidrocarburos comprende en principio un aparato surtidor 1 provisto de una bomba de aspiración 6 a la cual le llega el combustible desde un depósito enterrado 7 a través de una tubería de aspiración con la posibilidad de que la misma se perfore o se aflojen algunos tornillos IX que se incorporan en un tramo superior de tubería de aspiración 2, tornillos 11 que fijan un cuerpo tubular flexible 3, de manera que podría derramarse el combustible y contaminarse el terreno.Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the installation for the supply of hydrocarbons it comprises in principle a dispensing device 1 provided with a pump of suction 6 to which the fuel arrives from a tank buried 7 through a suction pipe with the possibility that it be drilled or loosened some screws IX that incorporated in an upper section of suction pipe 2, screws 11 that fix a flexible tubular body 3, so that the fuel could be spilled and the ground contaminated.
Dicha tubería de aspiración comprende el tramo superior citado 2, un tramo inferior 2'' que arranca del fondo del depósito 7 y alcanza hasta la arqueta del depósito 5 y un tramo intermedio de tubería 21 que va desde esa arqueta 5 hasta el cuerpo tubular flexible 3 intercalado en el tramo superior de tubería 2. En el extremo libre del tramo inferior de tubería 2'' existe una válvula de retención 8 en correspondencia con el fondo del depósito 7. El tramo intermedio de tubería 2' incorpora unas conexiones 4 que podrían aflojarse y derramarse el combustible con la consiguiente contaminación del terreno.Said suction pipe comprises the section above mentioned 2, a lower section 2 '' that starts from the bottom of the deposit 7 and reaches up to the cassette of deposit 5 and a section intermediate pipe 21 that goes from that cassette 5 to the body flexible tubular 3 sandwiched in the upper section of pipe 2. In the free end of the lower section of pipe 2 '' there is a check valve 8 in correspondence with the bottom of the tank 7. The intermediate section of pipe 2 'incorporates connections 4 that could loosen and spill the fuel with the consequent ground pollution
La bomba de aspiración 6 succiona el producto del depósito 7 cuando el aparato surtidor 1 se pone en marcha, de manera que durante el tiempo que el aparato surtidor 1 no está funcionando la tubería debe permanecer llena de producto, ya que tiene colocada una válvula de retención 8 con el fin de mantener el cebado de la tubería.The suction pump 6 sucks the product of the tank 7 when the dispensing device 1 starts up, of so that during the time that the dispensing device 1 is not running the pipe must remain full of product, since it has a check valve 8 in place to maintain the priming of the pipe.
Pues bien, la invención consiste esencialmente en controlar si la tubería se mantiene permanentemente llena de producto mientras el aparato surtidor 1 no funciona, colocando para ello justo debajo del aparato surtidor 1, entre la unión del cuerpo tubular flexible 3 y el aparato surtidor 1, o colocando en la parte inferior del sistema de retención del aparato surtidor, un dispositivo sensor 9 que detecta el cambio de estado de líquido a gas de manera que si la tubería tiene alguna pérdida dejará de haber producto en ese punto por ser el más alto de la tubería y se disparará entonces un dispositivo de alarma 10 visual y sonora que se instala en un punto de la instalación donde puede ser visible y oído. Por lo tanto, la estanqueidad de la tubería se verifica por la propia gravedad del producto sin necesidad de someter a la tubería a ningún tipo de ensayo de variación de presión como viene ocurriendo convencionalmente.Well, the invention consists essentially in checking if the pipe is kept permanently full of product while the dispensing device 1 does not work, placing for it just below the dispensing apparatus 1, between the body joint flexible tubular 3 and the dispensing apparatus 1, or placing in the part bottom of the dispensing system of the dispensing apparatus, a sensor device 9 that detects the change of liquid state a gas so that if the pipe has any loss there will be no product at that point for being the highest in the pipe and it will then trigger a visual and audible alarm device 10 that it is installed at a point in the installation where it can be visible and ear. Therefore, the tightness of the pipe is verified by the own product gravity without the need to subject the pipe to no type of pressure variation test as it is happening conventionally.
