- (a) Technical Field
- The present disclosure relates to a refrigerant injection device for a refrigerant destruction facility. More particularly, it relates to a refrigerant injection device which is applicable to a refrigerant destruction facility using an incinerator such as a gasification melting system, a rotary Kiln furnace, a stocker furnace, etc. and a dedicated combustion furnace.
- (b) Background Art
- A refrigerant gas such as Freon is generically used in various refrigeration systems. When Freon is released into the air or atmosphere, it becomes an environmental pollutant as it destroys the ozone layer. Therefore, the use and discharge of Freon is regulated by laws.
- The waste refrigerant that is produced during collection, recovery, and disposal typically includes chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) which is as an ozone-depleting substance, and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), which is a global warming substance.
- In general, more than 99.9% of refrigerant such as CFC and HFC is destroyed using an incinerator such as a gasification melting system, a rotary Kiln furnace, a stocker furnace, etc. or using a dedicated combustion furnace, which maintains the temperature above 800° C. with a retention time of more than 2 seconds.
- There is shown in
FIG. 1 a refrigerant injection device used in combination with in anincinerator 18 used in Japan. The refrigerant injection device injects refrigerant into theincinerator 18 by increasing the evaporation rate of the refrigerant using a hot-waterbath type vaporizer 10 and an externalheating type heater 12 so the refrigerant is decomposed by a reaction with steam at a high temperature. - The refrigerant injection device includes a hot-water
bath type vaporizer 10, avalve 11, aheater 12, anoil filter 13, amist filter 14, aflowmeter 15 and ametering valve 16. The hot-waterbath type vaporizer 10 vaporizes the refrigerant in a refrigerant container. Thevalve 11 is provided for selectively opening and closing thevaporizer 10. Theheater 12 is connected to thevaporizer 10 and heats the vaporized refrigerant to room temperature. Theoil filter 13 andmist filter 14 are connected to theheater 12 and remove oil and mist. Theflowmeter 15 andmetering valve 16 are connected to thefilters - Such a refrigerant injection device includes an

The cooler is provided to prevent the device from being damaged by the heat of theincinerator 18. - Because the refrigerant is discharged from the refrigerant container without pressure control, the refrigerant injection device should increase the evaporation rate of refrigerant using the hot-water
bath type vaporizer 10 and theheater 12 to improve the injection of the refrigerant into theincinerator 18. - The
vaporizer 10 vaporizes the refrigerant in the refrigerant container using hot water of 20 to 40° C. Alternatively, a hot-water spray type vaporizer or a hot blast heating type vaporizer is used for the hot-waterbath type vaporizer 10 ofFIG. 1 . - The

Coolant having a temperature of 5 to 20° C. produced from thecooler 19, circulates through theinjection pipe 17. As provided herein, this is done to prevent damage to the injection device by the heat of theincinerator 18. - As the energy consumed by the
vaporizer 10, theheater 12, and thecooler 19 is increased, the cost for treating the waste refrigerant is increased, and the space required for thevaporizer 10, theheater 12, and thecooler 19 also is increased. - In addition, when using the conventional refrigerant injection device having a
single flowmeter 15, it is difficult to precisely control the flow rate. Also, it is necessary to stop the injection of refrigerant during calibration of theflowmeter 15 and in the event of a failure in theflowmeter 15. - The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

injection pipe 171 that is provided at one side of therefrigerant destruction facility 170, and a cut-offvalve 162 is provided between thecheck valve 161 and theinjection pipe 171. The cut-offvalve 162 provides a mechanism so as to rapidly cut off the flow rate of refrigerant in the event of an emergency of therefrigerant destruction facility 170. - The
refrigerant destruction facility 170 serves to decompose the refrigerant by allowing the refrigerant introduced through theinjection pipe 171 to react with steam at a high temperature. - The operation and effect of the refrigerant injection device for the
refrigerant destruction facility 170 in accordance with the present invention is discussed below. Reference shall be made toFIG. 2 for functionalities of the refrigerant injection device not otherwise discussed below. - Typically, waste refrigerant is recovered from the place where it is produced or where it was being utilized in a container of 20 to 1,000 Kg by a refrigerant recovery machine. As the boiling point of the refrigerant such as CFC and HFC injected into the refrigerant injection device is less than −20° C., it is evaporated under atmospheric conditions.
- Therefore, in the present invention, the pressure of refrigerant to be injected into the refrigerant destruction facility is reduced by the
decompressor 110 and thereby evaporated. - The
decompressor 110 reduces the pressure of refrigerant stored in therefrigerant container 100 from 5 to 10 kgf/cm2 to 0 to 3 kgf/cm2 such that the refrigerant in therefrigerant container 100 can be injected into therefrigerant destruction facility 170. - As described herein, any oil and/or mist that is contained in the refrigerant (gas) at a temperature above room temperature and decompressed to a predetermined pressure by the
decompressor 110, are removed by theoil filter 130 and themist filter 131. Also, the flow rate of the refrigerant is controlled by theflowmeters metering valve 160. Therrafter, the refrigerant gas is injected into therefrigerant destruction facility 170 through theinjection pipe 171 and decomposed by the reaction with steam at a high temperature. - Thus and unlike the conventional refrigerant injection device which employs a vaporizer, a heater, and a cooler which require large energy consumption, when using the refrigerant injection device of the present invention, the refrigerant gas is evaporated by the
decompressor 110. In this way, it is possible to reduce the cost of energy consumed for treating the waste refrigerant and reduce the installation space of the device. - The refrigerant such as CFC and HFC is decomposed by the reaction with steam at a high temperature.
- In general, more than 99.9% of refrigerant such as CFC and HFC is destroyed at a temperature above 800° C. for a retention time of more than 2 seconds. Hydrogen chloride (HCl) and hydrogen fluoride (HF) produced by the destruction of refrigerant are neutralized into CaCl2 and CaF2 by the addition of an alkaline reagent such as Ca(OH)2 and then removed in post-treatment equipment of the refrigerant destruction facility as follows.
- (1) Stabilization reaction of CFC-12 refrigerant:
-
2HCl+Ca(OH)2→CaCl2+2H2O - (2) Stabilization reaction of HFC-134a refrigerant:
-
2HF+Ca(OH)2→CaF2+2H2O - The refrigerant injection device for the refrigerant destruction facility in accordance with the present invention employs first and
second flowmeters - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , there is shown a schematic diagram illustrating operation of the refrigerant injection device for the refrigerant destruction facility in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention during normal operation. During normal operation, thebypass valves second bypass pipes second flowmeters oil filter 130 and themist filter 131 is injected into therefrigerant destruction facility 170 through the first andsecond flowmeters - In this embodiment, the first and
second flowmeters flowmeters - Referring now to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , there are shown schematic diagrams illustrating the operation of the refrigerant injection device during calibration of the first and second flowmeters. - Because an error can occur in the flowmeter when it is being used for a long time, it is typical practice to periodically calibrate the flowmeter. The calibration is done to correct the measurement value of the used flowmeter by comparing it with that of a reliable standard flowmeter.
- Because conventional refrigerant injection device usually have a single flowmeter, it is necessary to stop operation of the device during calibration. In contrast, as the refrigerant injection device according to the present invention has the two flowmeters and two bypass pipes, the injection device can continue perform calibration without stopping operation of the injection device.
- The calibration of the flowmeters according to the present invention is discussed below.
- When the
first flowmeter 140 is to be calibrated, as shown inFIG. 4 , thesecond valves 141 disposed at the front and the rear of thefirst flowmeter 140 and thebypass valve 153 of thesecond bypass pipe 152 connected to thesecond flowmeter 150 are closed. The calibration is performed by comparing the measurement value of thefirst flowmeter 140 with that of a standard flowmeter. - The flow rate of the refrigerant gas, which passes through the
bypass pipe 142 of thefirst flowmeter 140, is measured by thesecond flowmeter 150, and then the refrigerant gas is injected into therefrigerant destruction facility 170. - When the
second flowmeter 150 is to be calibrated, seeFIG. 5 , thethird valves 151 disposed at the front and the rear of thesecond flowmeter 150 and thebypass valve 143 of thefirst bypass pipe 142 connected to thefirst flowmeter 140 are closed. The calibration is performed by comparing the measurement value of thesecond flowmeter 150 with that of the standard flowmeter. - Also, the flow rate of the refrigerant gas is measured by the
first flowmeter 140, and the refrigerant gas is injected into therefrigerant destruction facility 170 through thebypass pipe 152 of thesecond flowmeter 150. - In
FIGS. 3 to 5 , the black symbols of thevalves valves - During the calibration of the
first flowmeter 140, the refrigerant passes through thefirst bypass pipe 142 and is then injected into therefrigerant destruction facility 170 through thesecond flowmeter 150. During the calibration of thesecond flowmeter 150, the refrigerant passes through thefirst flowmeter 140 and is then injected into therefrigerant destruction facility 170 through thesecond bypass pipe 152. Therefore, it is possible to perform the calibration of the flowmeter without stopping the operation of the device. - Moreover, in the event of a failure of one of the
flowmeters other flowmeter flowmeters - The refrigerant injection device for the
refrigerant destruction facility 170 according to the present invention is usable for refrigerant destruction using the refrigerant destruction facility such as a gasification melting system, a rotary Kiln furnace, a stocker furnace, etc. - As described above, the refrigerant injection device for the refrigerant destruction facility according to the present invention has a number of advantages and advantageous effects such as:
- 1. Unlike the conventional refrigerant injection device which employs a vaporizer, a heater, and a cooler which require large energy consumption, for the refrigerant injection device of the present invention, the evaporation rate of refrigerant gas is increased comparatively by the use of the decompressor. Thus, it is possible to reduce the cost of energy consumed for treating the waste refrigerant and also reduce the installation space requirements for such a device.
- 2. Because the refrigerant injection device of the present invention employs two flowmeters, it is possible to more precisely measure and accumulate the amount of refrigerant injected into the refrigerant destruction facility through the correction between the flow rates measured by the two flowmeters, thus improving the accuracy about ten times that of the single flowmeter; and
- 3. It is possible to selectively measure the flow rate and perform the calibration without stopping the operation of the device through the two flowmeters and bypass pipes connected in series, and thereby it is possible to effectively use the device.
- The invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments thereof. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
