Abstract
Description
- This is a Continuation-in-part of International Application No. PCT/NL00/00547, filed Jul. 31, 2000, which published in English as WO 01/09696.
- The invention relates to an assembly for a pipeline for transporting a fluid such as oil, gas and water along a fluid flow path extending in the pipeline, having an pressure control device therein to control fluid flow.
- The prior art includes a pressure control device arranged to be mounted to a pipeline which pipe line is arranged for transporting a fluid along a fluid flow path extending in the pipeline, wherein the pressure control device is arranged for regulating the pressure of the fluid downstream the pressure control device to a predetermined pressure which is independent of and less than the pressure prevailing in the pipeline upstream of the pressure control device. The prior art also includes an assembly including a pipeline for transporting a fluid such as oil, gas and water along a fluid flow path, in combination with a pressure control device therein for regulating the pressure of the fluid downstream of the pressure control device to a predetermine pressure which is independent of, and less than, the pressure prevailing in the pipeline upstream of the pressure control device. The prior art also includes methods for regulating a pressure of a fluid which is transported along a fluid flow path extending through the pipeline, the method comprising the step of incorporating a pressure control device in the pipeline for regulating the pressure of the fluid downstream the pressure control device to a predetermined pressure which is independent of, and less than, the pressure prevailing in the pipeline upstream of the pressure control device.
- Such prior art assemblies, methods and pressure control devices are well known. In the pipeline several kinds of fluids may be transported such as oil, gas, water and other kinds of fluids. A drawback of the known assembly and methods is that they are relatively expensive due to the relatively high costs for the pressure control device. Also the pressure control devices which are used in combination with pipelines for the transport of amongst others oil, gas and water are not very accurate and reliable. Especially for the transport of oil, gas and water the trouble free life time of the pressure control device should be relatively long.
- The invention provides a solution for these drawbacks. The assembly according to the invention is characterized in that, the pressure control comprises a housing provided with an inflow opening and an outflow opening wherein the fluid flow path of the pipeline extends in the housing between the inflow opening and the outflow opening, the inflow opening being in fluid connection with the pipeline upstream of the pressure control device, the pressure control device further comprising a controllable seal for releasing and closing the fluid flow path in the housing and a pressure sensor element accommodated in the housing for movement between a first and a second position, the pressure sensor element in the first position controlling the controllable seal to release the fluid flow path in the housing and in the second position controlling the controllable seal to close off the fluid flow path in the housing, the pressure sensor element on the one hand being exposed to the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the controllable seal, and on the other being exposed to a predetermined force which, in use, determines the predetermined pressure, wherein, in use, the pressure sensor element moves in the direction of the first position when the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the seal drops below the predetermined pressure determined by the predetermined force and the pressure sensor element moves in the direction of the second position when the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the seal rises above the predetermined pressure determined by the predetermined force wherein the pressure control device comprises a gas-tight chamber, the pressure sensor element comprising a plunger accommodated in the chamber for movement in an axial direction of the chamber between the first and the second position, the space enclosed by the plunger and the chamber being filled with a gas for generating said predetermined force and the plunger being movable between the first and the second position in a direction parallel to the direction of the fluid flow path at the controllable seal.
- Such an assembly may be manufactured with relatively low costs because it incorporates relatively cheap elements.
- Since the setting of the position of the plunger is only a result of the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path and the pressure in the chamber, a highly accurate control is effected. Moreover, the position of the plunger between the first and the second extreme position does not affect the sum of the forces to which the plunger is subjected. This means that the pressure control is realized in a very accurate manner.
- The assembly has the advantage that the pressure of the fluid may be relatively high upstream of the pressure control device. The pressure may also vary upstream of the pressure control device. This may also include pulsating pressure variations. Under such condition the pressure downstream the pressure control device will be a relatively low and constant pressure. Such a constant relatively low pressure downstream the pressure control device is very suitable for the supply of the fluid such as water, gas or oil to end users. Because the pressure upstream the pressure control device may be relatively high and may vary the flow rate to the end users can vary over a wide range. Because the plunger is movable between the first and the second position in a direction of the fluid flow path at the controllable seal forces of the flow of fluid acting on the plunger will not cause friction between the plunger and the housing during movement of the plunger. It also follows that according to a practical embodiment of the assembly the plunger is generally movable between the first and the second position in a direction parallel to a direction from the inflow opening to the outflow opening. Preferably the controllable seal is moveable in a direction parallel to the fluid flow path at the controllable seal. This has also the advantage that forces acting from the flow of fluid at the seal and/or plunger will not cause friction between the plunger and/or controllable seal on the one hand and the housing on the other hand during movement of the plunger and/or controllable seal between the first position and the second position.
- In particular, it applies that the gas-tight chamber is manufactured from a metal. This minimizes the chances of gas leaking away from the chamber, so that the accuracy of the pressure control device is guaranteed for a long period.
- According to a preferred embodiment, it holds that the pressure control device comprises at least one sealing element, such as a rubber ring and the controllable seal comprises a bar-shaped element connected to the plunger outside the space enclosed by the chamber and the plunger, while in the first position, the bar-shaped element and the sealing element release the fluid flow path and in the second position, the bar-shaped element and the sealing element close the fluid flow path. The bar-shaped element is movable between the first and second position in a direction which is parallel to the direction of the fluid flow path along the bar-shaped element. Thus friction is avoided as discussed above. Another advantage is that the assembling of the pressure control device can be carried out with a cylinder which forms the walls of the chamber and which is fixed or not fixed. Known sits are bound by fixed values
- In most applications the gas pressure in the space is greater than an atmospheric pressure. Preferably the pressure control device is provided with mounting means for mounting the pressure control device to the pipeline. The outflow opening may be in fluid connection with the pipeline downstream of the pressure control device so that the pipeline also extends downstream the pressure control device. It is also possible that the pressure control device forms the end of the pipe line.
- The method according to the invention is characterized in that, the used pressure control device comprises a housing provided with an inflow opening and an outflow opening wherein, in use, the fluid flow path of the pipeline extends in the housing between the inflow opening and the outflow opening wherein, in the inflow opening being in fluid connection with the pipeline upstream of the pressure control device, the pressure control device further comprising a controllable seal for releasing and closing the fluid flow path in the housing and a pressure sensor element accommodated in the housing for movement between a first and a second position, the pressure sensor element in the first position controlling the controllable seal to release the fluid flow path in the housing and in the second position controlling the controllable seal to close off the fluid flow path in the housing, the pressure sensor element on the one hand being exposed to the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the controllable seal, and on the other being exposed to a predetermined force which, in use, determines the predetermined pressure, wherein, in use, the pressure sensor element moves in the direction of the first position when the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the seal drops below the predetermined pressure determined by the predetermined force and the pressure sensor element moves in the direction of the second position when the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the seal rises above the predetermined pressure determined by the predetermined force wherein the pressure control device comprises a gas-tight chamber, the pressure sensor element comprising a plunger accommodated in the chamber for movement in an axial direction of the chamber between the first and the second position, the space enclosed by the plunger and the chamber being filled with a gas for generating said predetermined force and the plunger being movable between the first and the second position in a direction which parallel to the direction of the fluid flow path at the controllable seal. The pressure control device according to the present invention is characterized as discussed above.

pressure control device 22 further comprises a controllable seal 32 for releasing and closing thefluid flow path 6 in the housing and apressure sensor element 34 accommodated in thehousing 24 for movement between a first and a second position. The pressure sensor element controls in the first position the controllable seal 32 to release thefluid flow path 6 in thehousing 24. Further, the pressure sensor controls in the second position the controllable seal 32 to close off the fluid flow path in thehousing 24. Thepressure sensor element 34 is on the one hand exposed to the pressure prevailing in thefluid flow path 6 downstream of the controllable seal, and is on the other hand exposed to a predetermined force which, in use, determines the predetermined pressure. In use, thepressure sensor element 34 moves in the direction of the first position when the pressure prevailing in thefluid flow path 6 downstream 10 of the controllable seal 32 drops below the predetermined pressure determined by the predetermined force and thepressure sensor element 34 moves in the direction of the second position when the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the controllable seal 32 rises above the predetermined pressure determined by the predetermined force. - In

In this example the predetermined gas pressure in thespace 42 is higher than the atmospheric pressure. In the example, this direction is horizontally downward. - The pressure control device further comprises a bush-shaped
part 44 in which achannel 46 is formed. Thefluid flow path 6 extends through the relevant channel. An openbottom side 48 of thechannel 46 communicates with theinflow opening 26. An opentop side 50 of thechannel 46 is in fluid connection with theoutflow opening 28, in this example via twoopenings 52, each opening provided in aside wall 54 of thechamber 38. Both in the first and in the second position of theplunger 36, theopenings 52 are on the left side of theplunger 36, i.e. theopenings 52 are located outside thespace 42 enclosed by thechamber 38 and theplunger 36. - In this example, the pressure control device comprises a sealing element, such as a
rubber ring 56, included in thechannel 46. The rubber ring is attached to the housing, in this example to an inner wall of thechannel 46. The controllable seal comprises a bar-shapedelement 58 connected, outside thespace 42 enclosed by theplunger 36 and thechamber 38, with theplunger 36. In this example, the bar-shapedelement 58 extends through therubber ring 56 and has its bottom side provided with a knob 60. In the first position, the knob 60 and the sealingring 56 are separated from each other to release thefluid flow path 6. When, theplunger 36 moves to the right, theplunger 36 will move from the first position to the second position. As a result, the knob 60 will likewise move to the right and will, when theplunger 36 reaches its second position, abut against the bottom side of therubber ring 56 to close off thefluid flow path 6. Hence, theplunger 36 is in the second position when the knob 60 has moved to the right and abuts against therubber ring 56. - It also follows that the
plunger 36 is movable between the first and the second position in adirection 39 parallel to the fluid flow path at the controllable seal 32, 60. It also follows that the controllable seal 32, 60 is movable in adirection 39 parallel to the fluid flow path at the controllable seal. This has the advantage that forces acing from fluid flow at the seal and/or plunger will not cause friction between the plunger and/or controllable seal on the one hand and the housing on the other hand during movement of the plunger and/or controllable seal. It also follows that the bar-shapedelement 58 is movable between the first and second position in adirection 39 which is parallel to the direction of thefluid flow path 6 along the bar-shapedelement 58. This has the same advantage as discussed above. - A sealing element such as a sealing
ring 68 is provided between theplunger 36 and aninner wall 70 of thechamber 38. The sealingring 68 is attached to theplunger 36 so that the sealing ring is movable relative the chamber. The sealingring 68 may be a rubber sealing ring. - The bottom side 61 (left side) of the
plunger 36 is exposed to the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the controllable seal 32, i.e., the pressure at theoutflow opening 28. On the other hand, the top side 63 (right side) of theplunger 36 is exposed to the predetermined pressure present in thespace 42. This predetermined pressure generates a predetermined force pressing theplunger 36 in a direction of the first position. Conversely, the pressure piling at theoutflow opening 28 presses theplunger 36 in a direction of the second position. As a result, the pressure sensor element (the plunger 36) moves in the direction of the first position when the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the seal drops below the pressure predetermined by the predetermined force. Further, the pressure sensor element 36 (the plunger 36) moves in the direction of the second position when the pressure prevailing in the fluid flow path downstream of the seal 32 rises above the pressure predetermined by the predetermined force. - The above has as a result that the device operates as follows. In the pipeline upstream 12 of the
pressure control device 22, there prevails a pressure higher than the predetermined pressure at which theliquid 4 is to be transported in the pipeline downstream 10 of thepressure control device 22. Whenend users 72 connected to the pipeline downstream 10 of thepressure control device 22 take off fluid theliquid 4 will flow with a relatively high pressure into thepressure control device 22 via theinflow opening 26. Theliquid 4 will then flow to theoutflow opening 28 via theliquid flow path 6 in thehousing 24. Via theoutflow opening 28, theliquid 4 flows to thepipeline 2 downstream 10 of thepressure control device 22 to theend users 72. - When the pressure of the liquid 4 at the
outflow opening 28 rises above the predetermined, desired pressure, the pressure of the liquid at thebottom side 61 of theplunger 36 will likewise rise above the predetermined value. In this example, the predetermined constant pressure at which theliquid 4 is to flow through thepipeline 2 downstream 10 the pressure control device to theend users 72 is equal to the pressure prevailing in thespace 42. As a result, theplunger 36 will be moved to the right. After all, the pressure in thespace 42 is less than the pressure prevailing at thebottom side 61 of theplunger 36. The plunger then moves from the first position in the direction of the second position. In and/or adjacent the second position, theplunger 36 will control the seal 32, 60, such that it closes off thefluid flow path 6. During closing of thefluid flow path 6, the pressure of the liquid at theoutflow opening 28 will drop. This pressure drop continues until the pressure at theoutflow opening 28 is equal to the pressure prevailing in thespace 42. When the pressure of the liquid 4 at theoutflow opening 28 threatens to drop below the pressure prevailing in thespace 42, theplunger 36 will tend to move again in the direction of the first position. Consequently, the seal 32 will be controlled in such a manner that it will be slightly opened. As the seal 32 is opened again, the pressure at theoutflow opening 28 will rise again, until the seal 32 is closed again when theplunger 36 is moved right again due to the rising pressure. This process continues and leads to an equilibrium condition at which the pressure of the liquid 4 at theoutflow opening 28 and consequently in thepipeline 2 downstream 10 of thepressure control device 22 assumes the predetermined value determined by the predetermined pressure in thechamber 42, exerting the predetermined force on atop side 63 of the plunger. The presume of the fluid in thepipeline 2 downstream 10 of the pressure control device is indent from the fluid flow rate supplied to the end users and independent from variations in pressure of the fluid in the pipeline upstream 12 of the pressure control device. - The pressure control device is provided with mounting means for mounting the pressure control device to the pipeline. The mounting means comprise for example a
bayonet fastener 73 at theinflow opening 26 together with a sealingring 74. The mounting means also comprise for example abayonet fastener 76 at theoutflow opening 28 together with a sealingring 78. - The invention is in no way limited to the embodiments outlined herein above. The flow rate may be high, such as between 1 liter/minute and 10000 liters/minute. The predetermined force on the pressure sensor element/
plunger 34 may in addition be generated by means of aspring 66, as is shown inFIG. 1 . The sealingelement 56 may be attached to the bar shaped element and being movable in a recess of the inner wall of thechannel 46 for releasing and closing the fluid flow path if the plunger moves between tie first and second position. In the possible embodiment ofFIG. 1 theoutflow opening 28 is in fluid connection with thepipeline 2 downstream 10 of thepressure control device 22 so that thepipeline 2 also extends downstream the pressure control device. It is however also possible that the pressure control device forms the end of thepipeline 2. In that case the pipeline part downstream 10 of the pressure control device is deleted. In that case theoutflow opening 28 may be provided with a valve 80 (schematically shown by dotted line 80). The pressure control device may in that case for example be located at the end user. Thevalve 80 is operated by the end user for starting and stopping of a flow of the liquid 4 through the valve. The valve can also be operated to regulate the flow rate through thevalve 80. The flow rate may be high such as 10 liters/minute. - In this patent application, “a fluid” is also understood to mean a cream, paste, gel, powdery substance and possible combinations thereof. Such variants are each understood to fall within the framework of the invention.
