Definitions
- the present invention relates to a piston pump or compressor for handling potentially wet gases or liquids containing gas.
- Traditionally there is a rather sharp distinguishing between liquid pumps and gas compressors, and in usual designs the relevant two types of devices are well suited for handling liquid and gas, respective ⁇ ly, but very ineffective or directly unusable for handl ⁇ ing gas and liquid, respectively.
- piston compressors for gas normally are not only unsuited for handling liquids, but even subject to destruction if handling gases having a considerable content of liquid, inter alia because a given discharge capacity for com ⁇ pressed gas conditions a design of the discharge valve system which is quite different from the design of the same valve system for use with liquids, which are by definition not noticeably compressible.
- dead space i.e. the remaining cylinder space above the piston top at the end of the working stroke of the piston, as small as possible, because otherwise the piston, by its following suction stroke, will not initiate any effective suction until the com ⁇ pressed gas in the dead space has expanded to the suc ⁇ tion pressure after a certain displacement of the pis ⁇ ton.
- Similar conditions occur by the handling of LPG gas and corresponding gases, where the gas is discharged from the pump without any considerable compression; if the gas holds just a minor fraction of the gas in its liquid phase, then this gas liquid will deposit on the piston top and evaporate immediately at the beginning of the suction stroke, whereby the suction becomes ineffec- tive.
- the compressor or the gas pump may be mechanically overloaded if the amount of liquid gas at the end of the working stroke is larger than the volume of the dead space, because the non-compressible liquid will then be beaten against the cylinder head and the associated valve system.
- the invention is based on the very simple consider ⁇ ation that the said problem with respect to the impact of the liquid against the upper cylinder head is due to the fact that this cylinder head, traditionally, is a 'top head', i.e. located at the top of the upward work ⁇ ing stroke of the piston, while in principle the problem will be eliminated if the pump is turned upside down such that the cylinder head will now be a 'bottom head' .
- the fraction of liquid, if any, will collect at the bottom head, immediately adjacent to the discharge valve, and during the now downwardly directed working stroke of * the piston the increasing pressure of the gas will act upon the discharge valve through the collection of liquid in a non-impacting manner; when the required discharge pressure has been built up underneath the piston the discharge valve will open as usually, but now it will be the liquid which is the first to be dis- charged, viz. influenced by the overlying cushion of pressurized gas.
- the dis ⁇ charge valve By a suitable positioning of the dis ⁇ charge valve the entire amount of liquid will then have been driven out long ago, when the 'piston top' carries out the last phase of its working stroke.
- the pump can be designed in a quite simple and even traditional man ⁇ ner.
- the invention also comprises a suction emptying system for LPG gas cylinders, inasfar as with the use of the disclosed pump it has been found possible to simpli ⁇ fy the traditional suction emptying systems quite dras ⁇ tically. In these systems the task is to suck out pos ⁇ sible remnants of liquid LPG gas from the gas cylinders prior to these being refilled, since prior to at least a volumetrically controlled filling it is required to make sure that there is no liquid gas left in the cylinder, the cylinder not being allowed to be entirely filled with gas liquid.
- the sucked out gas liquid should be conveyed to a collector tank, and it is inevitable that the sucked out liquid product will in some phase become partly gaseous, just as it is desirable to continue the sucking until there is only pure gas left.
- the pump according to the invention can very well be designed to handle not only gas or wet gas, but also pure liquids and gas holding liquids.
- Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a pump according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a corresponding sectional view of another embodiment of the pump.
- Fig, 3 is a schematic view of a suction emptying system for LPG-cylinders.
- the pump shown in Fig. 1 has a pump cylinder 2, which, in a non-illustrated machine structure, is mounted obliquely depending from a crank housing, from which a piston rod 4 having a piston 6 is moved up and down in the cylinder 2.
- a 'top cylinder head' 7 At the lower end of the cylinder is mounted a 'top cylinder head' 7, which is provided with an intake valve 8 and a central discharge valve 10.
- the latter is mounted or provided in such a manner that an annular seat surface thereof extends through the lowermost area of the space inside the the cylinder head 6, this being truncated outside of the end facet con ⁇ stituted by the discharge valve 10.
- the valve design will not be described in more detail, as the valve it ⁇ self as well as the cylinder head may be designed fully conventiona1ly.
- the disclosed pump will be able to work with both gases and liquids, and that -in working with wet gases there will be no impact problems at the end of the working strokes of the piston, as any,possible liquid collection underneath the piston during and just after the suction stroke will be present at the bottom portion which communicates with the discharge valve 10, i.e the liquid collection will be forced out from the cylinder as soon as the piston, by its downward working stroke, has built up the cylin ⁇ der pressure at which the discharge valve 10 opens.
- a pump cylinder 2 with vertical orienta ⁇ tion is shown.
- the intake valve 8 is mounted centrally in the cylinder bottom, shaped as a conically upstanding disc, which is sloping from its middle portion downward ⁇ ly towards a surrounding, lower annular area, underneath which the discharge valve 10 is mounted, shaped as a horizontal annular plate member supported by an underly ⁇ ing spring 12 as indicated.
- the lowermost portion of the cylinder space is located immediately adjacent to the discharge valve itself, such that gas liquid collected at the bottom will leave the cylinder as soon as the piston initiates its working stroke from above.
- This embodiment may operate with relatively very large flow through areas in the intake and discharge valves.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a suction emptying system for LPG gas cylinders.
- Several gas cylinders are placed upside down in connector sockets 16, which are flow connected with a collector tank 18, the lower end of which is connected with the suction side of a pump 20 according to the invention.
- the discharge side of this pump is connected with a storage or filler tank 22, and as mentioned the pump will be usable for direct transfer of rest gas from the cylinders 14 to the tank 22, ir ⁇ respectively of the pumping medium consisting of both pure gas liquid, gas holding gas liquid and pure gas.
- the system comprising two containers 24 with switch over valves 26, a gas pump 28 and a liquid trap 30.
- the valves 26 can be set such that by means of the gas pump 28 gas is sucked into one of the containers 24 from the cylinders 14, while gas liquid from the other container is pressed into the tank 22, the gas pump 28 hereby being able to work solely with dry gas.
- the cor ⁇ responding pump works also with pure liquid and liquid containing gas, and on that background it is possible to replace the entire sub system illustrated in dotted lines by i ⁇ xe simple pump according to the invention.
- the pump shown in Fig. 2 may well be mounted in an inclined position, even inclined almost down to a hori ⁇ zontal position, so it is well suited for use in a plural cylinder pump in the form of a hanging V or .
