Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Gasversorgung und Gasrückgewinnung unter Einsatz eines gasförmigen Mediums, welches in einem Stapelbehälter (Pufferbehälter) unter Druck gespeichert wird und vom Stapelbehälter gegebenenfalls über einen Druckumwandler zu einem Verbraucher (Versorgung) und vom Verbraucher gegebenenfalls über einen Druckumwandler zum Stapelbehälter (Rückgewinnung) geleitet wird.
Erfindungsgemäß werden mehrere Druckbehälter mit kaskadenförmig abgestuftem Betriebsdruck eingesetzt, dergestalt, daß bei einem Befüllvorgang der Enddruck im Verbraucher durch zeitlich abgestimmte Teilfüllvorgänge, gesteuert von dem aktuellen Druck im Verbraucher, erreicht wird. Bei Entleerungsvorgängen wird entsprechend verfahren.
Die Druckbehälter der Kaskade können dabei eine unterschiedliche Größe aufweisen. Vorteilhafte Anwendungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens und/oder Verwendungen der erfindungsgemäßen sind beim heißisostatischen Pressen oder beim Hochdruck-Gasabschrecken gegeben.The invention relates to a method and a device for gas supply and gas recovery using a gaseous medium which is stored under pressure in a stacking container (buffer container) and from the stacking container optionally via a pressure converter to a consumer (supply) and from the consumer optionally via a pressure converter Stacking container (recovery) is passed.
According to the invention, a plurality of pressure vessels with cascaded operating pressure are used such that the end pressure in the consumer is achieved during a filling process by time-coordinated partial filling processes, controlled by the current pressure in the consumer. The same procedure is used for emptying processes.
The cascade pressure vessels can have different sizes. Advantageous applications of the method according to the invention and / or uses of the invention are given in hot isostatic pressing or in high-pressure gas quenching.
