Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for reducing mechanical stresses during transport of shock-sensitive transport units, in particular tank containers for liquid helium and liquid hydrogen. The apparatus consists of a single-part or multi-part mounting frame, fixedly mounted on a railway car, which receives the container by means of special spring-damping modules, so-called 'wire rope mounts', and conventional, detachable twist-lock connectors such that it is mounted so as to be able to oscillate freely and dampened in all three spatial directions, such that the mechanical stresses occurring due to transport are reduced enough that the stresses allowed by the manufacturer for the tank containers are always complied with.

Description

Vorrichtung zur Ermöglichung des Bahntransports von Standard-40‘-ISO Containern zum Transport von tiefkalt verflüssigtem Helium (LHe) und tiefkalt verflüssigtem Wasserstoff (LH2) durch Reduzierung der beim Schienentransport auftretenden mechanischen Belastungen Device to enable the rail transport of standard 40' ISO containers for the transport of cryogenic liquefied helium (LHe) and cryogenic liquefied hydrogen (LH2) by reducing the mechanical loads occurring during rail transport
Beschreibung description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Minderung der im Bahntransport üblicherweise auftretenden mechanischen Belastungen, und somit zur Ermöglichung eines Transports von Tankcontainern für empfindliche flüssige Güter, z. B. Flüssighelium und Flüssigwasserstoff, auf dem Schienenweg. The present invention relates to a device for reducing the mechanical stresses that usually occur in rail transport, and thus for enabling the transport of tank containers for sensitive liquid goods, e.g. B. liquid helium and liquid hydrogen, by rail.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Der internationale Markt für Helium und Wasserstoff ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass einigen wenigen, zentralen Produktionsstätten eine Vielzahl von Einzelverbrauchern auf der ganzen Welt gegenübersteht. Dies erfordert eine globale Verteillogistik. The international market for helium and hydrogen is characterized by the fact that a few central production facilities face a large number of individual consumers all over the world. This requires global distribution logistics.
Seit Jahrzehnten hat sich daher die zentrale Verflüssigung von Helium und Wasserstoff an der jeweiligen Produktionsstätte, und der anschließende Transport in speziellen, internationalem Standard entsprechenden Tankcontainern etabliert, in denen die Produkte tiefkalt, also bei Temperaturen von -268°C (Helium), bzw. -253°C (Wasserstoff) transportiert werden. Diese Container verfügen standardmäßig über ein 40‘ ISO- Container-Format und werden weltweit per LKW und Seefracht transportiert.For decades, the central liquefaction of helium and hydrogen at the respective production site and the subsequent transport in special tank containers that correspond to international standards has been established, in which the products are stored cryogenically, i.e. at temperatures of -268°C (helium) or -253°C (hydrogen) can be transported. These containers have a standard 40' ISO container format and are transported worldwide by truck and sea freight.
Auf Grund des- komplexen thermisch-mechanischen Aufbaus dieser Transportcontainer, die aus einem vakuum-superisolierten Innentank und einem diesen umschließenden Außentank bestehen, wobei der Innentank mit möglichst wenigen wärmeübertragenden mechanischen Verbindungen im Außentank fixiert sein muss, sind die erlaubten mechanischen Belastungen für solche Container stark begrenzt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass insbesondere der Transport per Bahn, der wirtschaftlich sehr vorteilhaft wäre, für solche Container bisher vom Hersteller nicht zugelassen sind, um die mechanische Integrität des Tankcontainers nicht zu gefährden. Due to the complex thermal-mechanical structure of these transport containers, which consist of a vacuum super-insulated inner tank and an outer tank surrounding it, the inner tank having as few heat-transferring mechanical elements as possible Connections in the outer tank must be fixed, the permitted mechanical loads for such containers are severely limited. The consequence of this is that transport by rail, in particular, which would be very advantageous economically, has hitherto not been approved by the manufacturer for such containers in order not to endanger the mechanical integrity of the tank container.
Zugrundeliegende technische Aufgabe Underlying technical task
Die vorliegende Erfindung soll die Aufgabe lösen, den normalen Bahntransport auch für die oben beschriebenen, marktüblichen, aber mechanisch sehr empfindlichen Transportcontainer zu ermöglichen. The present invention is intended to solve the problem of making normal rail transport possible for the above-described, commercially available but mechanically very sensitive transport containers.
Lösung der Aufgabe solution of the task
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird eine Vorrichtung zur Verfügung gestellt, die in erster Linie aus einem Aufnahmerahmen besteht, der zweckmäßigerweise aus einem oder mehreren Teilen aufgebaut sein kann.According to the present invention there is provided an apparatus consisting primarily of a receiving frame which may conveniently be constructed of one or more parts.
Dieser Aufnahmerahmen ist einerseits fest auf dem Bahnwaggon montiert und bietet acht Lastaufnahmepunkte, die ihrerseits geometrisch den Lastaufnahmepunkten des zu transportierenden Containers entsprechen.On the one hand, this receiving frame is permanently mounted on the railway wagon and offers eight load-bearing points, which in turn correspond geometrically to the load-bearing points of the container to be transported.
Die mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Container und den Lastaufnahmepunkten erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise mittels der hier technisch üblichen Twist-Lock-Verbinder. The mechanical connection between the container and the load-bearing points is expediently made using the twist-lock connectors that are technically standard here.
Jeder einzelne Lastaufnahmepunkt des Aufnahmerahmens ist mit speziellen Feder-Dämpfer-Einheiten, sogenannten ,w/re rope mounts1, ausgestattet, welche die mechanischen Belastungen durch den Transport in allen drei Raumachsen aufnehmen und durch ihre speziellen Eigenschaften soweit reduzieren, dass die vom Hersteller erlaubten mechanischen Belastungen des zu transportierenden Containers zu keinem Zeitpunkt überschritten werden. Vorteil der Erfindung Each individual load-bearing point of the mounting frame is equipped with special spring-damper units, so-called w/re rope mounts 1 , which absorb the mechanical loads caused by transport in all three spatial axes and, thanks to their special properties, reduce them to the extent permitted by the manufacturer mechanical loads of the container to be transported are not exceeded at any time. advantage of the invention
Vorteil der Erfindung ist die Bereitstellung einer kostengünstigen Lösung, die einen - bisher out Grund der mechanischen Belastungen nicht möglichen - Bahntransport für diese Art von Tankcontainern ermöglicht, und die zudem auch als Nachrüstung für bestehende Bahnwaggons eingesetzt werden kann und universell einsetzbar ist. Diese Lösung bietet insbesondere dann eine wichtige Transportalternative, wenn große Landstrecken für die Transportaufgabe überwunden werden müssen, besonders wenn dort wetter- und infrastrukturbedingt ein Transport per LKW nicht zuverlässig gewährleistet werden kann. Advantage of the invention is the provision of a cost-effective solution that allows rail transport for this type of tank container, which was previously not possible due to the mechanical loads, and which can also be used as a retrofit for existing rail wagons and can be used universally. This solution offers an important transport alternative in particular when long overland distances have to be covered for the transport task, especially when transport by truck cannot be reliably guaranteed there due to the weather and infrastructure.
Eine kostenintensive Ertüchtigung oder gar eine Neukonstruktion der Transportcontainer als spezielle, für den Bahntransport zugelassene Version der Tankcontainer - etwa durch Verbesserung oder Verstärkung der mechanischen Verbindungen zwischen Innen- und Außentank, entfällt, und es können alle bisher eingesetzten Container genutzt werden. A cost-intensive upgrade or even a new construction of the transport container as a special version of the tank container approved for rail transport - for example by improving or strengthening the mechanical connections between the inner and outer tank - is no longer necessary, and all previously used containers can be used.
Erklärung der zeichnerischen Darstellungen Explanation of the graphic representations
Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung eines Bahnwaggons (1 ), auf dem mittels eines - hier zweiteilig ausgeführten - Aufnahmerahmens (2) ein Transport-container (3) an den acht Lastaufnahmepunkten (4) befestigt ist.Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a railroad car (1) on which a transport container (3) is attached to the eight load-bearing points (4) by means of a receiving frame (2) which is designed here in two parts.
Fig. 2 zeigt beispielhaft die perspektivische Darstellung eines Details, nämlich einen der Lastaufnahmepunkte des Aufnahmerahmens, der auf einer Seite mit einer Twist-Lock-Verbindung (5) zur Verbindung mit dem Transportcontainer (Fig. 1 , Pos. 3) ausgerüstet ist, auf der anderen Seite auf eine Art und Weise schwingend mit dem Aufnahmerahmen (Fig. 1 , Pos. 2) verbunden ist, indem sich im Zwischenraum spezielle Feder-Dämpfer-Module (6) befinden, die die mechanischen Belastungen in allen drei Raumachsen reduzieren. Ausführungsbeispiel 2 shows an example of a perspective view of a detail, namely one of the load-bearing points of the receiving frame, which is equipped on one side with a twist-lock connection (5) for connection to the transport container (FIG. 1, item 3). on the other side in a swinging manner with the receiving frame (Fig. 1, Pos. 2) is connected by special spring-damper modules (6) located in the intermediate space, which reduce the mechanical loads in all three spatial axes. example
Im folgenden Ausführungsbeispiel wird auf die Zeichnungen (Fig. 1 und 2) Bezug genommen. Demnach umfasst eine typische Vorrichtung den Aufnahmerahmen (Fig. 1 , Pos. 2), der in diesem Falle zweiteilig ausgeführt ist.In the following embodiment, reference is made to the drawings (Figs. 1 and 2). Accordingly, a typical device comprises the receiving frame (FIG. 1, item 2), which in this case is designed in two parts.
Der Aufnahmerahmen ist einerseits fest auf dem Bahnwaggon montiert, andererseits über Twist-Lock-Verbindungen mit den acht Eckpunkten des Containers verbunden. On the one hand, the mounting frame is firmly mounted on the railway wagon and, on the other hand, it is connected to the eight corners of the container via twist-lock connections.
Beim Transport wirken die mechanischen Belastungen, insbesondere Rangierstöße, nun nicht mehr direkt auf den stoßempfindlichen Container, sondern werden durch die in den einzelnen Lastaufnahmepunkten montierten Feder-Dämpfer-Module in allen drei Raumachsen aufgenommen und soweit abgemindert, dass die mechanischen Belastungen des Containers innerhalb der zulässigen Werte bleiben. Der Container kann dabei gedämpft in allen drei Raumachsen schwingen. During transport, the mechanical loads, in particular shunting impacts, no longer act directly on the impact-sensitive container, but are absorbed by the spring-damper modules mounted in the individual load bearing points in all three spatial axes and reduced to such an extent that the mechanical loads on the container within the permissible values remain. The container can vibrate damped in all three spatial axes.
