Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pinch pressure control valve for a flexible tube comprising a fixed support cooperating with one side of a flexible tube to be regulated, a dynamic support arranged on the side opposite the fixed support and capable of pinching the tube in order to regulate the pressure.
- pinch valves are designed with a linear actuator to regulate the back pressure.
- the axis of the linear actuator is perpendicular to the axis of the flexible pipe.
- the linear actuator consists of a plunger which compresses the tube against a fixed support on the opposite side.
- the document GB2274326I describes a control valve (“pinch valve”) comprising a cam 38 and a cam follower 39 (“cam follower”) acting by pinching on a flexible tube 42.
- the tube On the other side, the tube is maintained by an adjustable support face according to the diameter of the tube.
- the system with cam and counter-cam is complex and imprecise and therefore unsuitable for managing levels of regulation with precision.
- the document EP2908902 describes a flow control valve in a medical injection device. The flow circulating in a tube is regulated by a cam able to act against one side of the tube. On the other side of the tube, a pinch element presses the tube against the cam. The profile of the pinch element is relatively pointed, so as to allow an interruption of the flow in the tube.
- the document US2003/127613 also describes a flow control valve, using clamping elements of a tube which it is desired to perform the regulation.
- the clamping elements are rounded and small compared to the tube, which prevents fine and precise regulation.
- the invention provides various technical means.
- a first objective of the invention consists in providing a pressure regulating valve making it possible to provide a level of adjustment of high precision for a wide range of pressures.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a pressure regulating valve of reliable construction, at moderate cost.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a cross-flow filtration system with precise and reliable pressure regulation.
- the invention provides a pinch pressure control valve for a flexible tube comprising a fixed support cooperating with one side of a flexible tube to be regulated, a dynamic support arranged on the side opposite the fixed support and capable pinching the tube in order to regulate its pressure, the dynamic support consisting of a rotating roller mounted in rotation about an axis eccentric with respect to the center of the roller and provided with a peripheral contact surface exerting a force directly on the tube so as to progressively crush the tube against the fixed support during a rotation of the roller in the direction of tightening and gradually release the tube during a rotation of the roller in the direction of loosening, the fixed support comprising a active surface capable of crushing the tube, said active surface being flat or concave with a width Lar greater than or equal to 1.4 times the outside diameter DE of the tube at rest.
- the architecture proposed includes a one-piece clamping means, with direct contact of the roller without the use of an intermediate part, contributing to simplifying and making the architecture of the product more reliable.
- the pinching means uses an eccentric roller, allowing the pressure to be regulated with a very high level of precision. This architecture facilitates the interchangeability of parts to use various tube diameters with the same device.
- Such an arrangement makes it possible to provide a level of pinching or tightening of the flexible tube progressively, so as to ensure precise and reliable regulation.
- the implementation of a large-sized roller facing the tube increases the pinch length of the tube, and therefore makes it possible to have a greater pressure drop for a given pinch height compared to a narrow plunger.
- the roller is advantageously sized to be able to act at least over the entire width of the tube.
- the minimum planar length Lminflat or concave Lminconc of the active surface corresponds to the length of the tube in contact with the roller when the latter is at an angle of rotation a of 180°.
- the roller is driven in rotation by an electric motor, preferably a stepper motor, with or without a reduction gear arranged between the motor and the rotary roller.
- an electric motor preferably a stepper motor
- a reduction gear arranged between the motor and the rotary roller.
- the control valve comprises a rotary coupling between the rotary roller and the axis of rotation with radial teeth relative to the axis of rotation. It is also possible to use a Hirth-type coupling. Such couplings make it possible to reduce or eliminate the angular backlash at the angle a which would be detrimental to the precision of the regulation. Such arrangements also provide great simplicity of assembly, allowing rapid replacement of the roller to use various tube diameters.
- the roller has an outer cage mounted free to rotate opposite the roller.
- the outer cage is therefore free to rotate, so that when the eccentric roller core rotates, the outer cage does not slip along the tube. This prevents tube wear and lateral displacement of the tube along its axis.
- the invention also comprises a pressure regulating system comprising a regulating valve as previously described and a flexible tube to be regulated, in which the tube is elastically deformable and resumes its shape after crushing and releasing the force of pinch.
- the roller is offset by a distance d-ex corresponding to 0.5 x (1-K2) x internal diameter of the tube + K1 x thickness of the wall of the tube, and the distance "D" between the effective axis of rotation (5) of the roller and the fixed support (2) corresponds to 0.5 x [external diameter of the roller + (1-K2) x internal diameter of the tube] + [2-K1] x thickness of the tube wall, where K1 , unitless, representing the compression factor of the tube walls when the pinch height "P" is minimum is between 0.05 and 0.15 and K2, unitless, representing the rate closure of the tube when the angle is 0°, is between 0 and 0.15.
- the regulating valve can advantageously be used to achieve pressure regulation downstream of the pump.
- the control valve is then regulated in a closed loop with a pressure measurement located between the pump and the control valve.
- the invention also provides a tangential filtration system comprising a membrane filter, a pump for injecting a mixture to be filtered into the membrane filter, a counter-pressure regulation valve, in fluid cooperation with the outlet of the membrane filter, and a recirculation tank, connected between the back pressure control valve and the pump, wherein the back pressure control valve is a pinch control valve as previously described.
- the filtration system comprises a closed-loop control circuit with a pressure measurement upstream of the control valve to obtain the setpoint pressure where the pressure is measured.
- the regulation set point and feedback is a differential pressure.
- the differential pressure is preferably a transmembrane pressure of a tangential filtration filter medium, the transmembrane pressure TMP corresponding to the average pressure of the retentate minus the pressure Pp of the permeate, the "permeate” corresponding to the fraction of the mixture to filter which passes through the membrane, the remaining fraction, the "retentate” being recycled in the recirculation tank.
- the regulating valve can advantageously be used to achieve pressure regulation downstream of the pump.
- the control valve is then regulated in a closed loop with a pressure measurement located between the pump and the control valve.

- the graph in Figure 6 shows the back pressure of a pinch valve as a function of pinch height and flow rate.
- the tubing is designed for a flow range of 20 to 600LPH, for target back pressure regulation between 0.2 and 3bar. These values depend on the pinch valve design and tubing chosen.
- This graph makes it possible to identify a few observations, applicable for any type of pinch valve.
- the first finding indicates that the lower the flow rate, the narrower the pinch height range in which the required back pressure range can be achieved. For example, in the boxed example of figure 6, the back pressure of the valve increases by 1 bar with only 53 pm of height variation when it operates at 50LPH or 100LPH, therefore in the low flow range.
- back-pressure regulating valve means a valve with controlled opening which regulates the pressure at its inlet orifice of a fluid supplied at a constant flow rate to the set value, usually by regulating a pump located upstream of this valve. Its opening is increased to reduce the pressure drop induced by this valve when the inlet pressure exceeds the pressure set point. Its opening is reduced to increase the pressure drop induced by this valve when the inlet pressure is below the pressure setpoint.
- LPH means a flow rate measurement in liters per hour.
- BPCV Back Pressure Control Valve
- angle or "roller angle” means all angles referring to the angle of rotation of the eccentric roller, as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5 by the symbol a.
- An angle being defined by two axes, namely a reference axis AREF and a rotation axis AROT, and a crossing point between the two axes.
- the crossing point is the effective axis of rotation of the eccentric roller, represented in FIG. 3 by an open circle.
- the reference axis AREF is the line perpendicular to the axis of the flexible tube 25 and passing through the effective axis of rotation 5 of the eccentric roller.
- the axis of rotation is defined by the line passing through the axis of rotation and the eccentric axis of the roller, represented in FIGS. 3 to 5 by a small solid black disc.
- TMP means the transmembrane pressure
- the present invention proposes a new concept of back pressure regulating valves designed for any type of flexible tube, insofar as the tube remains elastic when it is completely pinched, that is to say that it returns substantially to its original opening when released.
- the concept applies at least for back pressures ranging from 1 absolute bar to 30 absolute bars.
- the concept is compatible with any gas or liquid phase fluid and any fluid handling application.
- the principle of the invention consists in pinching a flexible tube 25 between a fixed support 2 and an eccentric roller 4 driven in rotation over a half-turn by an electric motor 8 or a rotary actuator with or without intermediate reducer 9.
- the roller 4 has a circular outer profile, so that its "natural" axis of rotation is at the center 6 of the roller.
- the roller 4 being eccentric, its real or effective axis of rotation 5 is offset by a distance "d-ex" corresponding to the offset of the effective axis of rotation 5 with respect to the center 6 of the roller.
- the center 6 corresponds to the geometric center of the profile concerned.
- the offset "d-ex" of the eccentric roller 4 and the distance "D" between the effective axis of rotation 5 of the roller and the fixed support 2 are adapted to the pipe 25 of so that at a rotation angle of 0°, the pinch height "P" between the roller and the fixed support is sufficient to easily install the flexible tubing with a certain play or requiring a slight compression as indicated in figure 4, and at an angle of rotation of 180°, the tubing is completely closed as shown in figure 5.
- the regulation of the back pressure is carried out with an intermediate angle between 0° and 180° as in the example of figure 4.
- Figure 2 provides additional details to Figure 1 with a vertical sectional view in the axis of the roller 4. It therefore provides more details on the internal design of the roller.
- the axis of rotation 5 of the roller is given by the output shaft 12 of the reducer.
- it is equipped with a coupling with radial teeth 22, fixed by a clamping ring on the axis of rotation to couple its rotation with the eccentric core 14 of the roller which also has a toothing complementary to the toothing 22 so that the two parts fit together without play when they are tightened together by the front screw 23.
- the reducer 9 is chosen with reduced backlash or without backlash.
- the rotational coupling between the axis of rotation 5 and the reducer 9 is made with a shrink disk.
- the coupling in rotation between the roller and the axis of rotation is made with radial teeth relative to the axis of rotation, or with a Hirth-type coupling. This coupling with radial teeth eliminates any angular play when tightening the assembly by the front screw. It thus reconciles angular precision and simplicity of assembly, allowing rapid replacement of rollers to use various tube diameters.
- All other rotational coupling solutions available on the market are possible.
- the eccentric core 14 of the roller is a cylinder whose axis is eccentric with respect to the rotating shaft 12. The eccentricity is represented by the dimension "d-ex" in Figure 3.
- the roller 4 and the fixed support 2 are dimensional parts which can be exchanged to adapt to different tube sizes.
- the fixed support 2 comprises an active surface 13 capable of cooperating with a tube 25 in order to crush the latter.
- This active surface 13 is preferably planar as shown in the example of FIG. 10. Alternatively, it is concave, as shown in the example of FIG. 11.
- the active surface 13 has a minimum length.
- the minimum flat length corresponds to the length of the tube 25 in contact with the roller 4 when the latter is at an angle of rotation a of 180°.
- the minimum plane length corresponds to the length of the tube 25 in contact with the roller 4 when the latter is at an angle of rotation a of 180° . This length depends on the coefficients K1, K2, the thickness of the tube and the diameter of the roller, and the possible radius of concavity.
- the active surface 13 has a width "Lar" greater than or equal to 1.4 times the outer diameter DE of the tube 25 when the latter is at rest, without crushing action.
- the same valve can therefore be used optimally with different flow rate scales.
- the radial toothing allows coupling without backlash, once tightened, unlike other solutions such as the key which would require very precise adjustments, therefore difficult to assemble, to reduce the rotational backlash.
- the eccentric core 14 of the roller is equipped on the outside with spacers and bearings 11 clamped together along the axis of rotation with washers and screws.
- the bearings 11 are housed in the hollow of the outer cage 10.
- the outer cage is therefore free to rotate, so that when the eccentric core of the roller rotates, the outer cage 10 does not slide along the tube 25. This avoids the wear of the tube and the lateral displacement of the tube along its axis.
- Examples of embodiments with rollers, spacers and washers are not considered only as an example for the function of free rotation around the eccentric core of the roller.
- Other alternatives with plain plastic bearings or needle roller bearings can also be used for a more compact design.
- a simpler design without the free-spin feature can also be implemented, for example with the eccentric roller core directly in contact with the flexible tube, if the latter can withstand the friction of the eccentric roller core over its lifetime .
- K1 unitless, represents the compression factor of the walls of the tube when the pinch height “P” is minimum, that is to say when the angle is 180°. If K1 is chosen small, such as 0.05, the tube is slightly tight when the angle of the eccentric roller is 180°. In this position, the tube may not be tight enough to act as an isolation valve. However, a low value of K1 positions the angular range where the tube is most pinched closer to 180°. This is where great precision is needed. As the toe height "P" results from the cosine of the angle, as the angle approaches 180°, the variation in the angle causes a much smaller variation in the toe height than if the angle were within a lower range.
- the rotary actuator provides finer control of the height of the toe in this range where the variation of the pressure is high.
- the coefficient 0.15 makes it possible to take into account the crushing of the thickness of the tube under the effect of the pressure.
- K1 is chosen higher, such as 0.25, most tubes can be sealed when the eccentric roller is rotated 180°.
- the back pressure regulated valve can therefore be used as an isolation valve.
- this positions the angular range where the tube is most pinched into smaller angular values.
- An angular variation results in a greater variation in toe height.
- the sensitivity of the regulation is therefore not as great as in the previous example.
- K1 can also be chosen in a negative range, such as -0.05, so as to position the angular range where the tube is most pinched even closer to 180° compared to the first example, and therefore gain a little more accuracy.
- the manufacturing tolerance of the wall thickness of the soft tube must be taken into account so that in the worst case, if the wall thickness is within tolerance, the pinch is sufficient to obtain the counter -targeted pressure.
- K2 without unit, represents the degree of closure of the tube when the angle is 0°. If K2 is chosen equal to 0, the pinch height "P" corresponds to the outside diameter of the tube when the angle is 0°. This makes it easier to install the tube into the valve.
- K2 tends to reduce the eccentricity.
- the variation of the toe height "P" is proportional to the eccentricity "d-ex": with a positive value of K2, the variation of the angle results in a lower variation of the toe height "P » resulting in greater precision of the regulation whatever the angle.
- K2 can also be chosen with a negative value, such as -0.05. In this case, with the roller at 0°, the pinch height "P" is greater than the external diameter of the tube and therefore facilitates the installation of the latter, or may allow the use of a larger tube. But it can easily be deduced that this results in less precision of the toe-in height “P”.
- the present invention can be applied to any fluid application, with manipulation of liquid or gas, requiring regulation of the back pressure on a flexible tube.
- TMP transmembrane pressure
- the TMP can be regulated around its set value.
- the TMP used as set point and as feedback for the regulation of the BPCV can be calculated from three pressure measurements (Pr, Pf, Pp).
- the control mechanism is generally a diaphragm or a piston with spring to regulate the opening of the fluid.
- This can be covered by the present invention by means of a flywheel instead of the electric motor or the rotary actuator of FIG. 1.
- the present invention mainly addresses the case of automated systems where the pressure setpoint is defined by an electronic control system.
- the opening of the valve is regulated by an electric actuator which is electronically controlled in a closed loop using as feedback a pressure measurement in upstream of the valve.
- the pressure can be measured just upstream of the valve, or can be a more complex measurement, such as transmembrane pressure in the case of cross-flow filtration.
- the following section concerns the electronic control of the BPCV.
- the purpose of the motor 8 or rotary actuator of the BPCV is to position the angle of the eccentric roller precisely and quickly according to the pressure measured upstream of the BPCV, in order to obtain the setpoint pressure.
- FIG. 8 shows a very conventional closed-loop control flowchart.
- P, I, D refer to the "proportional”, “integral”, and “derivative” control parameters commonly used in closed-loop control.
- the shaft drive adjusts the angle of the eccentric roller corresponding to this toe-in correction.
- the regulation is applied over the entire stroke of the BPCV, i.e.: from 0° to 180° whatever the flow rate used.
- the regulation may take a long time for the BPCV to reach the correct angle, during which the regulation can increase the speed of rotation and therefore induce a pressure variation which is too rapid when the correct angle is reached.
- the regulation must therefore be slow to avoid overshooting the pressure.
- a more efficient but also more complex solution can be implemented, consisting in adjusting the angular range of the regulation of the BPCV to the current flow. This requires measuring the flow or informing the current flow control.
- the BPCV regulation acts on a limited angular range.
- the smallest angle is calculated to provide the minimum pinch height where no back pressure is still exerted by the BPCV at the current flow rate. For example, in Figure 4, if the flow rate is 100LPH, the smallest angle should provide a pinch height of 6.5mm (8).
- the largest regulated angle is chosen to provide the maximum allowable pressure at the given flow rate. For example, in Figure 6, if the flow rate is 100 LPH and the maximum allowable pressure is 3.3 bar, the largest angle should provide a pinch height of 6.00 mm.
