Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for producing gaseous fluid and more specifically to methods and apparatus for controlling at least one parameter of the gaseous fluid.
  • Controlling the temperatures of quench fluids can greatly assist in nano-particle production. Temperature control of quench fluids can affect the number and size of nanoparticles produced, can minimize fluctuations in flow and pressure, and may help to conserve energy.
  • Temperature control of a quench fluid may be achieved in part by mixing the gas with a cooler, liquefied stream of the same gas.
  • a liquid/gas mixture of this sort can then be maintained within a range of desired end temperatures to provide for increased flow-rates or to avoid flow-rate fluctuations, for example.
  • devices for providing a liquid/gas mixture are not without their problems, as it can be difficult to combine liquid and gas streams depending on the temperatures and pressures involved.
  • a method of the present invention comprises supplying a first fluid stream substantially in a liquid state and a second fluid stream substantially in liquid state from a single fluid source. At least a portion of the second fluid stream is vaporized to form a gaseous fluid. The flow rate of at least one of the first and second fluid streams is varied.
  • the method provides for the combining of the first and second fluid streams to produce a gaseous fluid product, at least one parameter of which is affected by the varying of the flow rate of at least one of the first and second fluid streams.
  • An outlet stream production apparatus of the present invention comprises a fluid container containing fluid in substantially a liquid state.
  • a gas generator is connected to said fluid container.
  • a first fluid line is also connected to said fluid container.
  • the first fluid line is connected to a product discharge manifold via a first valve.
  • the gas generator is also connected to the product discharge manifold via a second valve.
  • the first valve and the second valve are operable to control at least one parameter of an outlet stream produced at the product discharge manifold.
  • Another embodiment of a method for controlling an outlet stream parameter comprises removing two discrete streams of liquid-phase material from the single source; passing a first one of said two discrete streams through a first line having a first valve; passing the second of the streams through a second line having a gas generator and a second valve; mixing the first and second fluid streams in a controlled relationship to produce an outlet stream with a controlled parameter.
  • the controlled parameter is temperature
  • the method may further comprise controlling the temperature to maintain the temperature at a selected value in the range between about the boiling point of the outlet stream and about the ambient temperature.
  • the mixing of the first and the second fluid streams may provide not only for producing a single fluid outlet stream, but also for controlling a parameter of the single fluid outlet stream.
  • apparatus of the present invention may provide for a parametrically-controlled outlet stream wherein the controlled parameter is one or more of the temperature, pressure or volumetric flow rate of at least one of the first and second fluid streams, and the outlet stream.
  • a gaseous fluid production apparatus 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the drawing figure and may comprise a fluid container 11 containing fluid 14 in at least a liquid phase 12. The fluid 14 is dispensed through respective first and second fluid lines 16, 17 to a product discharge manifold 18.
  • a gas generator 20 is disposed in or otherwise connected to the second fluid line 17, as shown. However, in another embodiment, the gas generator 20 may also be disposed in or otherwise connected to the first fluid line 16. As will be described in greater detail below, the gas generator 20 receives the fluid 14 substantially in the liquid phase 12 and vaporizes at least some of the fluid 14 to produce a gaseous fluid.
  • cryogenic fluid refers to liquids that boil at temperatures of less than about HO K (-163.15 degree C) at atmospheric pressure.
  • Cryogenic fluids include, but are not limited to, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, air, and methane.
  • Cryogenic fluids may not be suitable when exposed to ambient temperature. That is, when cryogenic fluids in liquid form are exposed to such ambient temperatures, they may quickly reach boiling temperature(s) and thus change state to gaseous form. Often, the actual temperature of cryogenic fluid at its initial boiling temperature has been of little importance, since it is still very cold relative to most ambient temperatures. However, systems desiring particular cryogenic temperatures are emerging and thus controlled parameter (temperature and/or pressure) output fluid streams for those systems may be preferred.
  • the apparatus 10 of the present invention comprises a fluid container 11, which may, but need not be, in a tank form.
  • the fluid container 11 is fluidly connected to first and second fluid lines 16, 17 which are ultimately also connected to each other to define, or form, the product discharge manifold 18.
  • the connections of both the first and second fluid lines 16, 17 to the fluid container 11 are generally made in such as way so as to permit the fluid 14 to be conducted from the fluid container 11 in the liquid phase 12.
  • such a connection between the fluid container 11 and the first and second fluid lines 16, 17 may be made below the liquid-gas interface 15.
  • the first and second fluid streams may be brought together and mixed to produce the outlet stream 19 having a resultant or manufactured parameter (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow rate) at a set level or within a controlled range.
  • a resultant or manufactured parameter e.g., temperature, pressure, flow rate
  • the outlet stream 19 parameters be manipulated, selected and/or controlled, hi many cases, the physical, mechanical and/or plumbing constraints (e.g., sizes, shapes, lengths, etc.) of one or more parts of the apparatus 10 (e.g., the first and second fluid lines 16, 17) may contribute to and/or result in the parameters of the first and second fluid streams, thereby affecting the parameters of the outlet stream 19.
  • one or more valves may be inserted in the fluid lines 16, 17 to control the mixing of the first and second fluid streams, and therefore control the parameters of the outlet stream 19.
  • a first valve 26 may be inserted into the first fluid line 16 and/or a second valve 27 maybe inserted into the second fluid line 17.
  • the first valve 26 is disposed on the first fluid line 16 and maybe used to vary the flow of the first fluid stream in the first fluid line 16 into the product discharge manifold 18 (and the outlet stream 19), thereby regulating the temperature in the outlet stream 19.
  • the first valve 26 may be completely open, partially open, or completely closed, permitting the outlet stream 19 in the product discharge manifold 18 to receive full input, some input or no input from the first fluid stream.
  • the first valve 26 may be manipulated to restrict the flow of the first stream to any degree desired.
  • the second valve 27 may be used on the second fluid line 17 to provide parametric control of the second fluid stream as it enters the product discharge manifold 18, thus affecting the parameter(s) of the outlet stream 19.
  • Another embodiment may also include an optional control system 30 comprising at least one parametric sensing device.
  • the embodiment shown contains an outlet stream temperature sensor 32 and an outlet stream pressure sensor 34 included in the product discharge manifold 18 to assist in controlling the parameters of the outlet stream 19.
  • the outlet stream temperature sensor 32 may measure a temperature of the outlet stream 19 in, through, at, or upon exit from the product discharge manifold 18. Information from the outlet stream temperature sensor 32 may then be used in determining whether a mechanical change to the apparatus 10 is required to change the temperature of the outlet stream 19 in the product discharge manifold 18. Either of the valves 26, 27 may then be manipulated to effectuate the desired change.
  • the temperature indication may call for a change in the contribution from the first fluid stream in the first line 16, and thus call for a manipulation of the first valve 26.
  • a manipulation of the second valve 27 may be required to change the contribution from the second fluid stream to the output stream 19.
  • the embodiment shown also comprises outlet stream pressure sensor 34 for measuring pressure of the outlet stream 19 in, through, at, or upon exit from the product discharge manifold 18.
  • the outlet stream pressure sensor 34 may indicate a needed change in fluid flow in the second fluid line 17.
  • the use of the first valve 26 with the outlet stream temperature sensor 32 and the use of the second valve 27 with the outlet stream pressure sensor 34 may be used to provide pressure control of the fluid streams in each of the first and second lines 16, 17. Such pressure control can be used to reduce or minimize flow fluctuations, or flow variances of the outlet stream 19 exiting the product discharge manifold 18.
  • these activities may be automated by using a temperature controller 36 and a pressure controller 37.
  • the temperature controller 36 may be disposed between the outlet stream temperature sensor 32 and the first valve 26 to receive input (e.g., a temperature measurement) from the outlet stream temperature sensor 32, and use that input to control (i.e., open, close, or merely restrict, more or less) the flow of the first fluid stream through the first valve 26.
  • the temperature controller 36 may thereby vary the impact that first fluid stream has on the outlet stream 19.
  • the pressure controller 37 may similarly be used in connection with the outlet stream pressure sensor 34 and the second valve 27.
  • the temperature controller 36 and the pressure controller 37 may be programmable as by a human or may be interoperative with one or more other parts of a larger system which may control either one or both of the controllers 36, 37.
  • the embodiment shown depicts the temperature controller 36 as disposed between the outlet stream temperature sensor 32 and the first valve 26, and the pressure controller 37 disposed between the outlet stream pressure sensor 34 and the second valve 27, the controllers 36, 37 may be placed in any location as would be familiar to one of skill in the art.
  • either one or both controllers 36, 37 may be inherent in or disposed on one or the other or both of the respective valves 26, 27.
  • either or both controllers 36, 37 may be inherent in or disposed on either one or both of the outlet stream temperature sensor 32 and the outlet stream pressure sensor 34.
  • FIG. 1 Another embodiment, as shown in the drawing, may comprise a supplemental heat exchanger 40 for the primary purpose of ensuring a gas flow in the second fluid line 17, particularly downstream of the gas generator 20.
  • the heat exchanger 40 may, as shown here, include a bypass valve 41 , bypass piping 42 and associated bypass inlet valve 43 and bypass outlet valve 45 to control flow in the heat exchanger 40 as would be generally understood by those of skill in the art.
  • a gas generator temperature sensor 47 may also be included to measure the temperature downstream of both the gas generator 20 and the heat exchanger 40 (as shown here) to determine whether the second fluid stream in the second fluid line 17 has been adequately converted to the gas phase.
  • the data from the gas generator temperature sensor 47 may be used to adjust the flow through the heat exchanger 40 to add sufficient heat to change the second fluid stream to a gas.
  • the flow through the heat exchanger 40 may be controlled primarily by the bypass valve 41 which may be used to shunt the desired quantity of the second fluid stream in the second fluid line 17 into the heat exchanger 40.
  • the gas generator temperature sensor 47 may be connected to at least one controller (not shown) which, in turn, is connected to either the gas generator 20 or heat exchanger 40 (at bypass valve 41), or both, to ensure the desired phase change of the second fluid stream to a gas.
  • Said at least one controller may be inherent in or on the gas generator 20, or the heat exchanger 40, bypass valve 41 or even on the gas generator temperature sensor 47.
  • Alternative embodiments may include those in which one or more of the heat exchanger 40, gas generator temperature sensor 47, valves 26, 27, sensors 32, 34, or controllers 36, 37 are not included.
  • An example of an alternative embodiment without valves 26, 27 may involve first and second fluid lines 16, 17 of controlled sizes (lengths, diameters and the like). The thinner the line, the more restricted the flow and the smaller the fluid stream. Thus, in the case where the first fluid line 16 is much thinner than the second fluid line 17, the parametric impact of the first fluid stream on the second fluid stream will be minimized. If the first fluid line 16 were sufficiently thin, the outlet stream 19 exiting the product discharge manifold 18 may appear like the second fluid stream, parametrically.
  • the relative size ratios of the first and second fluid streams will impact the parametric control of the outlet stream 19, as determined by the diameter of the first and second fluid lines 16, 17, respectively.
  • the relative temperature or pressure change of the first fluid stream due to its length of travel in the first fluid line 16, for example, may contribute to the parameters of the outlet stream 19 at the product discharge manifold 18.
  • a longer travel length can expose a fluid stream to: (a) a greater temperature rise (if the ambient temperature is greater than the fluid boiling point); (b) increased cooling (if the fluid boiling point is higher than the ambient temperature), or (c) greater pressure changes (due to any change of state, e.g., by boiling in the line), hi such cases, however, understood and/or pre-selected line sizes, lengths, diameters, connections and the like can contribute to the ultimate parametric control of the outlet stream 19, including control of its temperature. In any case, careful selection of these relative parts can provide for a desired outlet stream 19 parametric control, as for example, within a particular range of temperatures, pressures or volumetric flow rates.
  • the apparatus 10 may include the fluid container 11 containing fluid 14 at least in the liquid phase 12.
  • Two fluid communication lines (the first fluid line 16 and the second fluid line 17) may be connected to the fluid container 11 in a manner to permit both the first fluid line 16 to receive the first fluid stream substantially in the liquid state and the second fluid line 17 to receive the second fluid stream substantially in the liquid state.
  • the first fluid line 16 conducts the first fluid stream and the second fluid line 17 conducts the second fluid stream to a connection that defines, or forms, the product discharge manifold 18.
  • the first fluid stream is combined with the second fluid stream at the product discharge manifold 18 to produce the outlet stream 19.
  • the gas generator 20 is disposed in the second fluid line 17 in between the fluid container 11 and the product discharge manifold 18.
  • the gas generator 20 is connected to the heat exchanger 40 and the gas generator temperature sensor 47 via the second fluid line 17.
  • the gas generator 20, the heat exchanger 40 and the gas generator temperature sensor 47 operate in the process of changing the phase of the second fluid stream from liquid to gas, as well as ensure that the proper degree of conversion has occurred.
  • the gas generator temperature sensor 47 may be connected through a controller (not shown) to either the gas generator 20 or heat exchanger 40 (at bypass valve 41), or both, to ensure the change in phase to a gas.
  • the outlet stream 19 in gaseous form may include separately or in combination a gas mixed with a liquid such that the liquid cools the gas, but also a gas/liquid mixture where the liquid is suspended in the gas, whether vaporized, colloidally suspended or aerosolized in the gas.
  • colder temperatures may be achieved by combining a gas stream with a liquid stream.
  • the liquid stream may be only a liquid initially, having at some point vaporized, it should still be generally colder than the primary gas phase stream.
  • the ability to control the temperature of the outlet stream 19 by mixing a gas phase with a liquid phase may provide for desirable cooling affects in another system, which may be limited by using only a single phase ⁇ either a gas only form or a liquid only form ⁇ of an output fluid to cool.
  • the gas only form may be too hot (relatively), and the liquid only form may be too cold.
  • the advantage of using a cooled gas to cool in an operative system allows better control over the cooling rate, and consequently overall better system control.
  • a two-container system doubles the required inventory and creates operational size problems, as two containers may generally take up twice the space.
  • a single tank containing both a liquid and a separate gas phase may require producing an unacceptably high liquid pressure in order to obtain the gas pressure necessary for mixing to occur.
  • the pressure of the gas and liquid should be similar and allow for mixing; however, if a cryogenic fluid were used, the cryogenic fluid in the liquid phase would boil in the line and vaporize, creating an increased pressure in the line, preventing it from mixing with the gas phase drawn off in the other line at the container pressure.
  • the apparatus 10 of the present invention supplied with cryogenic fluid may have a desirable effect of minimizing liquid coolant pressure.
