Description

Beschreibung Befüllen eines Speicherbehälters mit einem verdichteten Medium  Description Filling a storage tank with a compressed medium
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Befüllen eines Speicherbehälters mit einem verdichteten Medium, insbesondere mit verdichtetem Wasserstoff, wobei das verdichtete Medium von dem Verdichter über eine Befüllleitung dem Dispenser, der der Überführung des verdichteten Mediums in einen Speicherbehälter dient, zugeführt wird. The invention relates to a method for filling a storage container with a compressed medium, in particular with compressed hydrogen, wherein the compressed medium from the compressor via a filling line to the dispenser, which serves to transfer the compressed medium into a storage container, is supplied.
Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Anordnung zum Befüllen eines Speicherbehälters mit einem verdichteten Medium, insbesondere mit verdichtetem Wasserstoff, aufweisend einen Verdichter, der der Verdichtung des Mediums dient, einen Dispenser, der der Überführung des verdichteten Mediums in einen Speicherbehälter dient, und eine Verdichter und Dispenser verbindende Befüllleitung. Unter dem Begriff "Dispenser" sei im Folgenden eine Zapfsäule bzw. ein Zapfpunkt zu verstehen, der als Übergabepunkt zu dem zu befüllenden Speicherbehälter dient. Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement for filling a storage container with a compressed medium, in particular with compressed hydrogen, comprising a compressor, which serves to compress the medium, a dispenser, which serves to transfer the compressed medium into a storage container, and a compressor and dispenser connecting filling line. The term "dispenser" is to be understood below as a dispenser or a dispensing point, which serves as a transfer point to the storage container to be filled.
Gattungsgemäße Verfahren und Anordnungen zum Befüllen eines Speicherbehälters mit einem verdichtetem Medium, insbesondere mit verdichtetem Wasserstoff, sind aus dem Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannt. Sie dienen der schnellen Befüllung eines Speicherbehälters, beispielsweise eines Fahrzeugtanks, mit einem verdichtetem Medium, beispielsweise mit verdichtetem Wasserstoff. Der Begriff "schnelle Befüllung" sei dahingehend zu verstehen, dass beispielsweise die Befüllung eines Fahrzeugtanks mit verdichtetem Wasserstoff innerhalb weniger Minuten erfolgen kann. Um eine schnelle Befüllung realisieren zu können, ist es jedoch erforderlich, das verdichtete Medium vor der Zuführung in den zu befüllenden Speicherbehälter zu kühlen bzw. zu unterkühlen. Generic methods and arrangements for filling a storage container with a compressed medium, in particular with compressed hydrogen, are well known in the prior art. They serve the rapid filling of a storage container, for example a vehicle tank, with a compressed medium, for example with compressed hydrogen. The term "rapid filling" should be understood to mean that, for example, the filling of a vehicle tank with compressed hydrogen can take place within a few minutes. In order to be able to realize a rapid filling, however, it is necessary to cool or to cool the compressed medium before it is fed into the storage container to be filled.
Um diese (Unter)Kühlung zu erreichen, wird bisher entweder im Verdichterraum bzw. in der Verdichterstation oder im Dispenser ein Kühlsystem, das der Ab- bzw. To achieve this (sub) cooling, is so far either in the compressor room or in the compressor station or in the dispenser, a cooling system that the Ab- or
Unterkühlung des verdichteten Mediums dient, vorgesehen. Die Positionierung eines Kühlsystems im Verdichterraum hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass das verdichtete Medium vergleichsweise stark unterkühlt werden muss, um beim Dispenser die gewünschte Temperatur einhalten zu können. Der Grund hierfür liegt darin, dass das verdichtete Medium in der zwischen dem Verdichter und dem Supercooling of the compressed medium is provided. However, the positioning of a cooling system in the compressor chamber has the disadvantage that the compressed medium must be comparatively strongly supercooled in order to be able to maintain the desired temperature in the dispenser. The reason for this is that the compressed medium in between the compressor and the
Dispenser angeordneten Befüllleitung - diese weist üblicherweise eine Länge von 2 bis 100 m auf - eine nicht zu vermeidende Anwärmung erfährt. Sofern das Kühlsystem in der Verdichterstation angeordnet ist, besteht zudem das Problem, dass diejenige Mediummenge, die sich vor Beginn eines Befüllvorganges bereits in der Befüllleitung sowie dem Dispenser befindet, durch das Kühlsystem nicht abgekühlt werden kann und daher u. U. nicht dem zu befüllenden Speicherbehälter zugeführt werden kann, sondern ggf. aus dem System abgegeben werden muss. In diesem Falle muss das Kühlsystem also zunächst die Befüllleitung sowie den Dispenser abkühlen. Dispenser arranged filling line - this usually has a length of 2 to 100 m - undergoes an unavoidable warming. If the cooling system is arranged in the compressor station, there is also the problem that the amount of media that is already in the filling line and the dispenser before the start of a filling process, can not be cooled by the cooling system and therefore u. U. can not be supplied to the storage container to be filled, but may need to be discharged from the system. In this case, the cooling system must first cool the filling line and the dispenser.
Auch das Vorsehen eines Kühlsystems im Dispenser ist im Regelfall nicht oder nur mit einem vergleichsweise großen Aufwand realisierbar, da der Platz im Dispenser beschränkt ist, die erforderlichen Kühlsystems jedoch vergleichsweise groß bauen. Das Vorsehen eines Kühlsystems unmittelbar am Dispenser hat gegenüber der vorbeschriebenen Verfahrensweise jedoch den Vorteil, dass im Wesentlichen unmittelbar mit dem Beginn eines Befüllvorganges kaltes Medium bereitgestellt werden kann. The provision of a cooling system in the dispenser is usually not feasible or only with a relatively large effort, since the space in the dispenser is limited, but the necessary cooling system build comparatively large. The provision of a cooling system directly on the dispenser, however, has the advantage over the above-described procedure that cold medium can be provided substantially immediately at the beginning of a filling process.
Grundsätzlich gilt jedoch, dass die vorbeschriebenen Kühlsysteme - unabhängig davon, wo sie angeordnet werden - zusätzliche Kosten verursachen und aufgrund ihrer Störanfälligkeit eine Schwachstelle des Befüll- bzw. Betankungssystems darstellen. In principle, however, that the above-described cooling systems - regardless of where they are arranged - cause additional costs and represent a weak point of the filling or refueling system due to their susceptibility.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren sowie eine gattungsgemäße Anordnung zur Befüllung eines Speicherbehälters mit einem verdichteten Medium, insbesondere mit verdichtetem Wasserstoff, anzugeben, das bzw. die die vorgenannten Nachteile vermeidet. Object of the present invention is to provide a generic method and a generic arrangement for filling a storage container with a compressed medium, in particular with compressed hydrogen, indicate that or avoids the aforementioned disadvantages.
Verfahrensseitig wird die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Befüllleitung zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise vollständig gekühlt wird. Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung zum Befüllen eines Speicherbehälters mit einem verdichteten Medium, insbesondere mit verdichtetem Wasserstoff, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Befüllleitung Mittel zum zumindest teilweise Kühlen der Befüllleitung zugeordnet sind. The method, the object is achieved in that the filling is at least partially, preferably completely cooled. The arrangement according to the invention for filling a storage container with a compressed medium, in particular with compressed hydrogen, is characterized in that the filling line is assigned means for at least partially cooling the filling line.
Hierbei können die Mittel zum zumindest teilweisen Kühlen der Befüllleitung als Wärmetauscher ausgebildet sein, wobei die Befüllleitung zumindest teilweise einen Teil des Wärmetauschers bildet. Des Weiteren können die Mittel zum zumindest teilweisen Kühlen der Befüllleitung als eine die Befüllleitung umgebende Leitung, die der Führung eines Kühlmediums dient, ausgebildet sein. In this case, the means for at least partial cooling of the filling line can be formed as a heat exchanger, wherein the filling line at least partially forms part of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, the means for at least partially cooling the filling line can be designed as a line surrounding the filling line, which serves to guide a cooling medium.
Erfindungsgemäß kann nunmehr auf ein im Umfeld der Verdichterstation und/oder des Dispensers vorzusehendes Kühlsystem verzichtet werden. Im Gegensatz zu den zum Stand der Technik zählenden Verfahren und Anordnungen wird nunmehr die According to the invention, it is now possible to dispense with a cooling system to be provided in the vicinity of the compressor station and / or the dispenser. In contrast to the prior art counting methods and arrangements is now the
Befüllleitung selbst, zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise vollständig, und damit das in ihr befindliche Medium gekühlt bzw. unterkühlt. Die Befüllleitung selbst wird damit zu einem Teil des Wärmeaustauschsystems bzw. der Wärmeaustauschvorrichtung, so dass im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik keine zusätzlichen Oberflächen bzw. Filling line itself, at least partially, preferably completely, and thus the medium contained in it cooled or undercooled. The filling line itself thus becomes part of the heat exchange system or the heat exchange device, so that in contrast to the prior art, no additional surfaces or
Volumina für den Wärmeaustausch vorgesehen werden müssen. Volumes must be provided for the heat exchange.
Die Erfindung weist darüber hinaus den Vorteil auf, dass verdichtetes Medium, das nach Beendigung eines Befüllvorganges in der Befüllleitung verbleibt, kalt gehalten werden kann und somit vor Beginn eines Befüllvorgangs nicht erneut abgekühlt werden muss. The invention also has the advantage that compressed medium, which remains in the filling line after completion of a filling, can be kept cold and thus does not have to be cooled again before the beginning of a filling.
In der Praxis ist die Kühlung der Befüllleitung beispielsweise realisierbar, indem die Befüllleitung als Teil eines Wärmetauschers ausgebildet ist. So kann die Befüllleitung beispielsweise von einer weiteren Leitung umgeben sein, durch die ein geeignetes Kühlmedium, wie beispielsweise Thermind®, Freezium® oder Glykol geführt wird. Im Falle einer nur teilweisen Kühlung der Befüllleitung kann diese derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie eine Passage eines Wärmetauschers darstellt. In practice, the cooling of the filling line can be realized, for example, by forming the filling line as part of a heat exchanger. Thus, the filling may for example be surrounded by a further line through which a suitable cooling medium, such as Thermind ®, Freezium ® or glycol is performed. In the case of only partial cooling of the filling line, this can be designed such that it represents a passage of a heat exchanger.
Grundsätzlich gilt, dass die für die Kühlung der Befüllleitung erforderliche Kälte auf jede bekannte Weise, beispielsweise aus einem Entspannungsprozess oder einem aktiven Kälteprozess, bereitgestellt werden kann. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren sowie die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung zum Befallen eines Speicherbehälters mit einem verdichteten Medium ermöglichen die gewünschte bzw. erforderliche Kühlung des verdichteten Mediums, ohne dass es hierzu eines Kühlsystems unmittelbar an der Verdichterstation und/oder am Dispenser bedarf. Mit der Erfindung können die mit dem Stand der Technik verbundenen, eingangs beschriebenen Nachteile nunmehr vermieden werden. In principle, the cooling required for cooling the filling line can be provided in any known manner, for example from a relaxation process or an active cooling process. The inventive method and the inventive arrangement for infesting a storage container with a compressed medium allow the desired or required cooling of the compressed medium, without requiring a cooling system directly to the compressor station and / or the dispenser. With the invention associated with the prior art, the disadvantages described above can now be avoided.
