Definitions

  • the invention relates to a compression apparatus and a filling station comprising such an apparatus.
  • Such an apparatus is for example a cryogenic pump, in particular for pumping liquefied hydrogen.
  • the compression apparatus can include a head that is slidably mounted and guided by two fixed guide rails located on either side of the head, and in that the head and/or a rail comprises an elastic portion, said elastic portion being configured to generate on the rail or rails a force transverse to the longitudinal direction.
  • FIG. 2 represents a schematic and partial horizontal sectional view of a detail of the aforementioned apparatus at the level of the arrangement of one end of a sliding head and its vertical guide rail,
  • FIG. 3 represents another schematic and partial horizontal sectional view of a detail of the aforementioned apparatus at the level of the arrangement of one end of the sliding head and its vertical guide rail and illustrating rolling members
  • FIG. 6 represents a schematic and partial sectional view illustrating a detail of a second possible variant embodiment of the compression chamber of such a compression apparatus
  • FIG. 7 represents a schematic and partial sectional view illustrating a detail of a third possible variant embodiment of the compression chamber of such a compression apparatus
  • FIG. 8 represents a schematic and partial view illustrating a detail of the apparatus illustrating a possible exemplary embodiment of the structure of the elastic portion
  • the apparatus 1 for compressing cryogenic fluid represented schematically comprises a sealed enclosure 13 intended to contain a bath 16 of cryogenic fluid (typically a liquid phase in the lower part and a gaseous phase in the upper part).
  • the apparatus 1 has at least one compression chamber 3 communicating with the liquid bath (in particular the compression chamber 3 is preferably immersed in the bath).
  • the apparatus 1 comprises an intake system 2 communicating with the compression chamber 3 and configured to allow the entry of fluid to be compressed into the compression chamber 3 (typically comprising a system of valve(s) and/or orifice(s)).
  • the apparatus 1 further comprises a movable piston 5 to ensure the compression of the fluid in the compression chamber 3 and an evacuation system 7 communicating with the compression chamber 3 configured to allow the exit of compressed fluid (typically comprising a set of valve(s) and communicating with an evacuation pipe).
  • a movable piston 5 to ensure the compression of the fluid in the compression chamber 3
  • an evacuation system 7 communicating with the compression chamber 3 configured to allow the exit of compressed fluid (typically comprising a set of valve(s) and communicating with an evacuation pipe).
  • the head 8 can be made up of one or more assembled parts. This head 8 can also be designated in the literature by the terms “crossmember”, “crossbeam” or “crosshead”.
  • the piston rod 50 can be connected to one end of the head 8 via a coupling part, such as a rigid connection (for example of the bolted flange type) or a flexible connection (of the ball joint or pivot type, for example).
  • a coupling part such as a rigid connection (for example of the bolted flange type) or a flexible connection (of the ball joint or pivot type, for example).
  • each end of the head 8 can be slidably mounted on a rail 9 .
  • the head 8 can be slidably mounted on the guide rail 9 via a set 12 of rollers and/or balls.
  • the sliding system can also be of the precision rails type or any other suitable guide system (preferably not using oil in the case where the axis of the rod is vertical in the use position).
  • carriages (with rollers or balls) are screwed onto the head 8 and move with it.
  • the rails 9 themselves are, for example, fixed to the frame of the apparatus.
  • a passive (or active) cartridge can nevertheless be mounted on each of the carriages.
  • the head 8 comprises an elastic portion 10 which is configured to generate on the rail or rails 9 a force transverse to the longitudinal direction A.
  • the elastic portion 10 can be integrated into (or constituted by) the head 8 .
  • the elements 8 and 10 may be separate parts or one and the same part.
