Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the field of plants for gas powered vehicles, and in particular concerns a multi-valve with level indicator for (Liquid Petroleum Gas) LPG fuel tanks in such plants.
- the LPG fuel tanks in vehicle gas powered plants are usually equipped with a so-called multi- valve which controls the filling and the level of gas liquid in the tank and the flow of the gas from the tank to the engine to be fed in response to control signals from a solenoid valve.
- a multi- valve applied to a LPG fuel tank in said plants consists essentially of a body with a liquid gas load passage into the tank through a filler and a liquid gas conduit from the tank for delivery to the user unit.
- the outlet conduit is opened and closed by a connected solenoid valve, and in each of the inlet and outlet passages there is a one-way check valve which opens only in the direction of the gas flow to the tank and from here to the user unit.
- a multi- valve there are one or two manual on-off valves at the inlet and outlet of the gas flow towards the user unit.
- the indication of the level of the liquid gas in the tank which must signal loads at 20, 40, 60 and, at a maximum, 80% of the capacity of the tank, is normally carried out by means of a floating element.
- the level indicator devices at present available and in use are all solely mechanical.
- the presence of electronics is limited only to the level indication on the outside of the tank, the rest is all mechanical.
- the reading of the different filling levels up to the maximum level of 80% is still performed by a float and a system of levers and gears subject however to frequent jamming besides lacking in precision.
- the use of electronic components inside the LPG tank has not been addressed, above all to control the filling level.
- An object of the present invention is to remedy such a deficiency and at the same time to provided and offer a multi- valve for LPG tanks with a electronic measuring and reading system of the liquid gas level in the tank, at least while it is being filled, in place of the traditional mechanical means.
- the object is achieved with an improved multi-valve which is associated or integrated with an electronic level sensor connected and interacting with means of intercepting the gas flow into and out of the tank and governed by a controller unit.
- the multi-valve with electronic level sensor proposed here is capable of performing the following operations, according to the requirements of the regulation ECE/ONU 67R 01 : - electronic control of supply of LPG to the tank up to 80% of the capacity of the latter
- Fig. 1 shows a cross-section of a tank complete with solenoid valve and electronic level probe
- Fig.2 shows an electric and pneumatic diagram of the multi-valve. Detailed Description of the Invention
- a tank S for LPG is represented to which a multi-valve MN is applied integrated with a device L for reading the liquid gas level in the same tank.
- the multi- valve MN has a body 10 which is equipped, as is well known, with an inlet conduit 11 which is connected, at one end, to a filler BC for receiving the gas fuel, according to arrow IN, and flowing, at the other end, into the tank S, and a gas outlet conduit 12 which leads to the user unit indicated by the arrow OUT in Fig. 2.
- a check valve NRb is provided at the level of the supply filler BC. Along the inlet conduit 11 two check valves have been inserted VR1 and VR2, one upstream and the other downstream of the EV1 inlet solenoid valve. A pressure sensor PR is also placed along the inlet conduit 11 downstream of the filler BC and before the check valve VR1.
- the level reading device L is made up of an electronic level probe SL extending into the tank and connected to an electronic reading circuit which can be housed in a supporting element 13 and be physically joined to the body 10 of the multi-valve MN.
- the level probe SL can be the type using liquid sensors , thermistors, or capacitive, resistive or similar component types to read the tank filling levels at 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of its capacity.
- the level probe, the inlet and outlet solenoid valves and the pressure sensor are electrically connected to an electronic controller unit 14 which also governs a PLG/petrol change-over switch 15 and a level indicator 16 with visual level warnings of the filling levels of the tank indicated by the probe.
- the inlet solenoid valve ENl remains closed, whereas the outlet solenoid valve EN2 opens in response to a gas delivery signal to the user unit. With engine off, the outlet solenoid valve EN2 is and remains closed.
- the pressure sensor PR reads the pressure of the gas at the filler point and then controls the opening of the inlet solenoid valve ENl, the outlet solenoid valve
- the multi- valve can also be equipped with safety devices such as for example, an excess pressure valve, calibrated at 27 Bar, and a thermal fuse calibrated at 120+/- 10°C.
