Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for transferring a fluid comprising a hydrofluorocarbon.
- Hydrofluorocarbons and their mixtures are useful products which are used for example, in refrigeration applications, as foam blowing agents or as solvents.
- the hydrofluorocarbons have often a high vapour pressure.
- Patent application EP-A-0979855 discloses a method for filling a certain zeotropic mixed refrigerant wherein the refrigerant is drawn out from the liquid phase of a feeding container and filled into a receiving container. It was desirable to have available a method for transferring a fluid comprising a hydrofluorocarbon fulfilling the aforementioned criteria.
- the invention concerns a method for transferring a fluid comprising at least a flammable hydrofluorocarbon from a first container to a second container wherein the fluid is transported through at least one line which is connected at least to the first container by a dry coupling.
- Dry coupling is understood to denote in particular a coupling composed of a male part and a female part and which male and female parts are closed when they are not connected to each other and are opened only when they are connected together.
- dry couplings are commercialised, for example by ARTA Armaturen und Tankgeratebau GmbH.
- the dry coupling is preferably made of stainless steel. Its female part is generally permanently connected to the line by any suitable technique such as welding or preferably by a flange connection. Its male part is generally permanently connected to the first container by any suitable technique such as welding or preferably by a flange connection.
- the dimension of the coupling is typically from DN (diameter nominal) 80 to DN 25.
- the line is often a flexible hose.
- the hose is made of any material resistant to diffusion of the fluid and is preferably made of stainless steel.
- the fluid is preferably transferred from the first container to the second container in the liquid state.
- the transfer rate of the fluid is generally from 1 to 15 m 3 /h, preferably from 4 to 10 m 3 /h.
- the first container is often chosen from a road or sea tanker e.g. a container lorry or a container ship, preferably a container lorry, and an ISO tank.
- a road or sea tanker e.g. a container lorry or a container ship, preferably a container lorry, and an ISO tank.
- the first container is an ISO tank, it is generally equipped with the male part of the dry coupling. It has been found that it is possible to provide an ISO tank having a storage space for the male part of the dry coupling and a valve part which can be connected to said male part, for example by a flange connection.
- the male part is preferably permanently connected to the tank.
- the storage space is designed to incorporate the dry coupling, in particular its male part.
- the length of said space is typically from 120 to 220 mm. Its width is generally determined by the dimension of the coupling as stated above.
- flammable compound is understood to denote in particular a compound which is classified flammable when tested according to any applicable standard.
- An example of such standard is
- the fluid often comprises difluoromethane (HFC-32), 1,1-difluoroethane (HFC- 152a), 1,1,1- trifluoroethane (HFC-143a) or 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (HFC-365mfc).
- HFC-32 difluoromethane
- HFC- 152a 1,1-difluoroethane
- HFC-143a 1,1,1- trifluoroethane
- HFC-365mfc 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane
- the method according to the invention is also particularly suitable when the fluid comprises a zeotropic mixture selected from R404A, R407C and
- R410A It can also be used for azeotropic mixtures such as R507 or HFC-365mfc in azeotropic mixture with n-pentane, isopentane, cyclopentane or n-hexane.
- the method according to the invention can also be advantageously used when the fluid comprises a hydrocarbon in addition to flammable or non ⁇ flammable hydrofluorocarbon.
- hydrocarbons often comprise from 3 to 8 carbon atoms and are in particular selected from propane, cyclopropane, n- butane, isobutene, cyclobutane, n-pentane, isopentane, cyclopentane and n- hexane.
- the fluid generally contains at least 10% by weight of flammable compounds. Often this content is at least 20% by weight.
- the fluid can consist of flammable compounds. If a mixture with a non-flammable compound is used, the content of flammable compounds is generally at most 80% by weight. Often this content is at most 60% by weight.
- the fluid which is preferably essentially in the liquid state, is pumped by the pump (10) from the first container (6) through a liquid hose (7) which is connected to the first container by the dry coupling (11) into the second container (8) while a gaseous space in the second container communicates with the first container through a vapour hose (9) which is connected to the first container by the dry coupling (12).
- a mode of carrying out the invention by consecutive operations is illustrated hereafter with reference to Figure 1 :
- the storage tank operator closes the manual bypass valve 3 on the equalization line (13) connecting liquid hose (7) and vapour hose (9).
- the tank operator opens the vapour balance line valve (1) and liquid fill line valve (2) on the storage tank. 5.
- the road tanker driver opens the liquid and vapour line valves (4) and (5).
