Description

Beschreibung description
Vorrichtung und Verfahren zum Bereitstellen größerer Mengen an DruckluftApparatus and method for providing larger quantities of compressed air
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zum Bereitstellen größerer Mengen an Druckluft.The invention relates to a device and a method for providing larger amounts of compressed air.
Die Bereitstellung größerer Mengen an Druckluft ist beispielsweise bei der Wartung von chemischen Anlagen, Raffinerien, etc., aber auch bei Tauchbasen erforderlich bzw. ein Thema. Hierbei erfolgt die Bereitstellung der Druckluft bisher mittels einzelner Druckgasflaschen und/oder mittels eines Druckluftkompressors. Hinzu kommt, dass bei einer Vielzahl von Anwendungsfällen mehreren Verbrauchern zeitgleich Druckluft zur Verfügung gestellt werden muss, wobei diese im Regelfall unterschiedliche Mengen bei unterschiedlichen Drücken benötigen.The provision of larger amounts of compressed air is required or is an issue, for example, in the maintenance of chemical plants, refineries, etc., but also in diving bases. In this case, the provision of the compressed air takes place hitherto by means of individual compressed gas cylinders and / or by means of a compressed air compressor. In addition, in a large number of applications several consumers need to be provided with compressed air at the same time, which usually requires different amounts at different pressures.
Mit beiden vorgenannten Varianten sind jedoch Nachteile verbunden, die bei der Verwendung von Druckgasflaschen beispielsweise darin liegen, dass jede Druckgasflasche separat an das vorgesehene bzw. vorzusehende Druckluftleitungsnetz angeschlossen werden muss. Ein weiterer Nachteil der Druckgasflaschen ist darin zu sehen, dass eine Rückgewinnung der Druckluft aus bereits teilweise entleerten Druckgasflaschen in der Regel keinen Sinn macht. Die Verwendung von Druckluftkompressoren hingegen erfordert einen nicht unerheblichen Energieaufwand. Darüber hinaus sind im Falle der Verwendung von Druckluftkompressoren im Regelfall den Druckluftkompressoren nachgeschaltete Filter, die der Reinigung der verdichteten Druckluft dienen, vorzusehen.However, disadvantages are associated with both of the aforementioned variants, which, for example when using compressed gas cylinders, are that each compressed gas cylinder must be connected separately to the intended or intended compressed air line network. Another disadvantage of compressed gas cylinders is the fact that a recovery of the compressed air from already partially emptied gas cylinders usually makes no sense. The use of compressed air compressors, however, requires a considerable amount of energy. In addition, in the case of the use of air compressors usually the air compressors downstream filters that are used to clean the compressed compressed air to provide.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung sowie ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren zum Bereitstellen größerer Mengen an Druckluft anzugeben, die bzw. das die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Nachteile vermeidet.Object of the present invention is to provide a generic device and a generic method for providing larger amounts of compressed air, or avoids the known from the prior art disadvantages.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Vorrichtung mehrere, zu wenigstens einem Bündel zusammengefasste Druckgasspeicher, die auf einem fahrbaren Untersatz montiert sind, und wenigstens eine Verteileinheit, die der Abgabe von Druckluft an wenigstens zwei getrennte Verbraucher dient, aufweist.To solve this problem, a generic device is proposed, which is characterized in that the device comprises a plurality, combined into at least one bundle compressed gas storage on a mobile pedestal are mounted, and at least one distribution unit, which serves to deliver compressed air to at least two separate consumers comprises.
Unter dem Begriff "Druckgasspeicher" seien im Folgenden keine einzelnen Druckgasflaschen zu verstehen. Der Begriff "fahrbarer Untersatz" umfasse sowohl selbstfahrende als auch nicht selbstfahrende Fahrzeuge.The term "compressed gas storage" are not to be understood below individual compressed gas cylinders. The term "wheeled pedestal" includes both self-propelled and non-self-propelled vehicles.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Bereitstellen größerer Mengen an Druckluft zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass es eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung verwendet.The inventive method for providing larger amounts of compressed air is characterized by the fact that it uses a device according to the invention.
Im Gegensatz zu den bisher verwendeten einzelnen Druckgasflaschen und/oder Kompressoren kommen nunmehr mehrere, zu wenigstens einem Bündel zusammengefasste Druckgasspeicher zur Anwendung. Diese sind vorteilhafterweise miteinander verrohrt, so dass das Anschließen einzelner oder aller Druckgasspeicher an ein vorhandenes Druckluftleitungsnetz auf einfache Weise möglich ist. Darüber hinaus kann die Verrohrung dergestalt ausgebildet sein, dass einer Vielzahl von Druckluft-Verbrauchern Druckluft in unterschiedlichen Mengen und/oder bei unterschiedlichen Drücken zugeführt werden kann.In contrast to the individual compressed gas cylinders and / or compressors used hitherto, a plurality of compressed gas reservoirs combined into at least one bundle are now used. These are advantageously piped together, so that the connection of individual or all compressed gas storage to an existing compressed air line network is possible in a simple manner. In addition, the piping can be designed such that a plurality of compressed air consumers compressed air can be supplied in different amounts and / or at different pressures.
Da sämtliche Druckgasspeicher auf einem fahrbaren Untersatz montiert sind, ist ein einfacher und darüber hinaus kostengünstiger Transport der Druckluft von ihrer Produktionsstätte zum Verbraucher realisierbar.Since all compressed gas storage tanks are mounted on a mobile pedestal, a simple and, moreover, cost-effective transport of compressed air from their production facility to the consumer can be achieved.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sowie des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zum Bereitstellen größerer Mengen an Druckluft sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dassAdvantageous embodiments of the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention for providing larger amounts of compressed air are characterized in that
die Verteileinheit oder wenigstens eine der Verteileinheiten von dem fahrbaren Untersatz trennbar ausgebildet sind, - das Fassungsvermögen der Druckgasspeicher wenigstens 100 Nm3 beträgt und die Druckgasspeicher im Wesentlichen zylindersymmetrisch ausgebildet sind.the distribution unit or at least one of the distribution units of the mobile subset are formed separable, - the capacity of the compressed gas storage is at least 100 Nm 3 and the compressed gas storage are formed substantially cylindrically symmetrical.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung sowie das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Bereitstellen größerer Mengen an Druckluft weisen nunmehr eine Vielzahl von Vorteilen gegenüber dem Stand der Technik auf; diese sind im Folgenden stichpunktartig aufgeführt:The inventive device and the inventive method for providing larger amounts of compressed air now have a variety of Advantages over the prior art; These are listed below in the following way:
Vermeidung größerer Mengen einzelner Druckgasflaschen, - Vermeidung des Transports einzelner Druckgasflaschen und damit einhergehend eine Reduzierung der Transportkosten,Avoidance of large quantities of individual compressed gas cylinders, - avoiding the transport of individual compressed gas cylinders and, consequently, a reduction in transport costs,
Vermeidung von Druckluftverlusten durch Rückführung der Druckluft aus teilweise entleerten Druckgasspeichern,Avoidance of compressed air losses due to the return of compressed air from partially empty compressed gas storage tanks,
