Definitions

  • a fluid-conveying arrangement includes a jacket which is surrounded by ambient atmosphere at a first temperature.
  • a supply conduit is received with clearance in the jacket and is arranged to convey a fluid at a second temperature which greatly differs from the first temperature.
  • a thermal shield surrounds the supply conduit with spacing therefrom.
  • a return conduit extends along the supply conduit in heat-exchanging connection with the thermal shield and is adapted to contain the aforementioned fluid at a third temperature which is close or identical to the second temperature.
  • the present invention relates to a fluid-conveying arrangement in general, and in particular to a fluid-conveying arrangement for conveying cold gases between a refrigeration unit and a user unit.
  • proximity of the return flow conduit connecting the user unit with the refrigeration unit to the supply conduit has tended to unduly warm the gas in the latter because the gas in the former is of course at a relatively higher temperature, perhaps, to mention an example, at minus 260 C. while the gas in the supply conduit is at minus 270 C.
  • the heat radiated by the ambient atmosphere which is of course greatly warmer than the temperature of the gases in question which may, as first pointed out, reach values in the vicinity of minus 270 C. has presented such a problem. Warming of the gas in the colder supply conduit by proximity to the warmer return flow conduit has been overcome by separating the two conduits from one another.
  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages outlined above.
  • the present invention provides a fluid-conveying arrangement, particularly for supplying cold or liquid gases in which the influence of the temperature of the ambient atmosphere on the contents of the conduits is extremely insignificant.
  • the arrangement according to the present invention makes possible the connection of conduit sections and jacket sections to one another, and with freedom of certain movements with reference to one another, without thereby increasing the susceptibility of the system to the influx of undesired heat from the ambient atmosphere.
  • the arrangement according to the present invention is relatively uncomplicated and requires no excessive expenditures of either a technical or an economic nature. It thus lends itself to a wide variety of uses, of which chemical and nuclear applications are exemplary.
  • a fluid-conveying arrangement which is particularly suited for supplying a fluid at a first temperature from a supply station to a user station and returning such fluid at -a second temperature from the user station to the supply station.
  • This arrangement includes jacket means whose circumferential wall is surrounded by ambient atmosphere at a first temperature.
  • Supply conduit means is received with clearance in this jacket means and is adapted to convey a fluid, such as a cold gas or a gas in liquid state, at a second temperature greatly different from the first temperature.
  • a fluid such as a cold gas or a gas in liquid state
  • the ambient temperature surrounding the jacket means may be on the order of +30 C.
  • the existing temperature differential between the jacket means and the supply conduit means in which the liquid helium is being conveyed therefore would be on the order of 300 C. and it can readily be seen why extraordinary precautions are necessary to prevent heat exchange under these circumstances.
  • our fluidconveying arrangement comprises thermal shielding means which extends along the supply conduit means within the jacket means and which is operative for preventing heat exchange between the jacket means and the supply conduit means.
  • the shielding means includes return conduit means through which the fluid is recirculated from the user device to the refrigeration device from where it has originally been supplied through the supply conduit means.
  • the fluid has undergone a rise in temperature. It will, however, still be significantly below the temperature of the jacket means.
  • the temperature at which the fluid is conveyed in the return conduit means while being intermediate the temperature of the fluid in the supply conduit means and the temperature of the jacket means, is likely to be significantly closer to the temperature of the fluid in the supply conduit means than to the temperature at which the jacket means is maintained by contact with the ambient atmosphere.
  • the temperature of the fluid in the return conduit means as a factor in our thermal shielding means, we are able to shield the supply conduit means against direct heat exchange with the jacket means.

  • PG. 4 is a fragmentary axial section through a fluidconveying arrangement embodying our invention and showing a novel coupling according to the invention
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary enlargement of portions of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 is a view along the lines of FIG. 4, but illustrating another embodiment of a coupling according to our invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic side view of a system utilizing our novel fluid-conveying arrangement.
  • FIG. 8 is a view of FIG. 7 as seen in the direction of the arrow A associated with the latter figure.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 there is illustrated a refrigeration device W of any desire-d or suitable type.
  • the particular type of refrigeration device is of no consequence as far as the present invention is concerned.
  • a refrigerated fluid is to be supplied to a user device V which again may be any one of many devices utilizing such refrigerated fluids, and whose particular constructions is of no importance for the present invention.
  • the fluid must be recirculated from the user device to the refrigeration device, but only the supply conduit is illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 because this will suflice to explain the aspect of the invention which is to be clarified by these figures.
  • the refrigeration device W and the user device V are connected by means of 1a fluid-conveying arrangement R constructed in accordance with the present invention, as will be more fully developed hereafter.
  • our fluid-conveying arrangement R is provided with elbow-bends T. It is evident from FIG. 7 that the arrangement R consists of a plurality of individual sections each of which comprses at least one of the bends T. These sections are connected to one another by means of the couplings U and in such a manner that successive sections can be rotationally displaced with reference to one another.
  • the user device V can be moved from the fullline position to the dashed line position illustrated in FIG. 8, and it is simply necessary to adjust the novel arrangement by rotating successive sections about their respective couplings U. This is illustrated in dashed lines in FIG. 8.
  • this procedure also applies if the user device V is not to be moved, but if the refrigeration device W is simply to be connected to a second user device which may be positioned as indicated by the dashed lines in FIG. 8.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 indicate by way of example a simple system utilizing our novel invention.
  • conduit 1 is assumed in this illustrated embodiment to be the supply conduit which connects a non-illustrated refrigeration devicecorrespond ing to the device W in FIGS. 7 and 8to a similarly nonillustrated user device which corresponds to the device V in FIGS. 7 and 8.
  • the flow of fluid is indicated by the arrow associated with conduit 1.
  • Conduit 2 is the return conduit through which the fluid, having been used at the user device and having undergone a temperature increase, is recirculated in the direction of the arrow associated with conduit 2 to the refrigeration device. Both of these conduits are arranged within a jacket 3 which is exposed to the ambient atmosphere and Whose interior is evacuated to reduce heat exchange with the circumferential wall of the jacket.
  • the return conduit 2 is connected in heat-exchanging relationship with a tubular radiation shield 4 which surrounds the conduit 1 with clearance, as best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • Conduit 1 is maintained spaced from the inner wall of the radiation shield 4 by provision of a plurality of spacing members 6 of which one is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The particular configuration of these spacing members 6 is of no consequence.
  • the radiation shield 4 and the return conduit 2, which conduit is secured to the radiation shield 4 in heat-exchanging relationship therewith, are maintained in spaced relationship from the wall of jacket 3 by means of spacing members 5 which again may be of any conventional configuration.
  • the spacing members 5 and 6 be ofiset from one another in axial direction of the conduits to prevent establishment of a thermal bridge between the wall of the jacket 3 and the supply conduit 1.
  • the connection in heat-exchanging relationship between the return conduit 2 land the radiation shield 4 be interrupted in the region where a thermal bridge exists between the wall of jacket 3 and the radiation shield 4.
  • the entire assembly consisting of the conduits 1 and 2 as well as the radiation shield 4 is surrounded within the jacket 3 by a sleeve of thermal insulating material 7, which material need not be more specifically identified because many such materials are well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the return conduit 2 and the radiation shield 4 By providing heat-exchanging connection between the return conduit 2 and the radiation shield 4, the latter is maintained substantially at the temperature of the fluid which returns from the user device to the refrigeration device.
  • This fluid while at a temperature higher than the temperature of the fluid passing through the supply conduit 1, is nevertheless at a temperature which is significantly below that of the wall of jacket 3, and thus the temperature differential between the supply conduit 1 and the radiation shield 4 is only a fraction of what it would be if the radiation shield 4 were to be allowed to rise to a temperature on the order of that at which the wall of jacket 3 is maintained by contact with the ambient atmosphere.
  • conduits 1 and 2 consist of individual sections which are to be connected by a coupling for the reasons already explained earlier.
  • FIG. 4 shows such an arrangement and it will be seen that in accordance with the invention the free ends of the conduits 1 and 2, which latter otherwise extend in axial parallelism with one another as evident both from FIGS. 1 and 4, are arranged so that they extend coaxially with one another.
  • FIG. 1 shows that the free end of the conduit 1 is arranged within the free end of conduit 2.
  • a collector 8 or a similar arrangement of known construction. It is this change-over from axial parallelism to a coaxial relationship which permits coupling of sucessive conduit sections in such a manner that they can be rotationally displaced with reference to one another.
  • FIG. 4 shows that compensation for longitudinal extension and contraction of the conduits 1 and 2 is made by means of bellows-shaped connectors 9. Only the connectors for the conduit 1 are illustrated in FIG. 4 but similar connectors can also be used for the conduit 2.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates that the bellows member 10 is aflixed to the free end of the conduit 2 of one section, whereas the bellows member 11 is aflixed to the free end of the conduit 2 of the next section.
  • the facing ends of the bellows members 10 and 11 in turn are provided with flange-shaped portions 12 and 13, respectively, and to effect proper sealing engagement between the abutment faces which are provided on the portions 12 and 13, these abutment faces are advantageously complementarily stepped, provided with an annular projection and a complementary annular groove, or made to interlock in a similar manner.
  • the free ends of the conduit sections 1 which are to be joined are advantageously telescoped at 14, 15 in fluid-tight manner although a connection can be eflected in any other suitable well-known way.
  • bellows members 10, 11 are prestressed, that is they exert a pressure in axial direction toward the respective other bellows member.
  • the members 10, 11 and the return conduit 2 are guided by means of a tubular section 16 which surrounds the adjacent free ends of the connected conduit sections 2 within the bellows members 10, 11.
  • a ring member 17 surrounds the flange-shaped member 13 and is secured by means of the illustrated bolts to the member 12.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the engagement between the members 12 and 13, which provides a particularly good sealing action between the abutment faces.
  • Member 12 is provided with a conically tapering annular abutment face 18 which is jointed at its opposite axial ends by radially extending annular abutment faces 21 and 23.
  • Member 13, in turn, is provided with a recess comprising an abutment face 19, complementary to the face 18, and joined at its opposite axial ends by radially extending abutment faces 20 and 22.

It is to be noted with respect to FIG. 5 that the arrangement illustrated there has, in section, two mirror-symmetrical sides and it is therefore evident that it suflices to illustrate only one of these sides, as has been done in FIG. 5.
