Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zum Befüllen eines Behälters mit einem Füllgas oder Füllgasgemisch.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for filling a container with a filling gas or filling gas mixture.
Um Gase mit einer hohen Speicherdichte lagern zu können, erfolgt die Speicherung entweder in flüssigem Zustand oder gasförmig unter hohen Drücken. Die Lagerung im flüssigen Zustand ermöglicht zwar eine sehr hohe Speicherdichte, sie ist jedoch nur unter inkaufnahme mehr oder minder großer Abdampfverluste möglich, die auch bei gut wärmeisolierten Behältern unvermeidlich sind. Zur Druckspeicherung von Gasen wurden bislang überwiegend Kompressoren eingesetzt, die.einen Betriebsdruck im Druckbehälter von etwa 200 bis 300 bar erlauben. Die Kompressoren sind jedoch in Bau und Betrieb sehr aufwendig, zudem führen neuere Anwendungen, beispielsweise Anwendungen in der Brennstoffzellentechnik oder Gasgeneratoren für Airbags, zum Bedürfnis nach weitaus höheren Drücken von 700 bar oder mehr. Derartige Drücke sind mit konventioneller Kompressionstechnik nicht oder nur mit unvertretbar hohem Aufwand zu realisieren.In order to store gases with a high storage density, storage takes place either in the liquid state or in gaseous form under high pressures. Although the storage in the liquid state allows a very high storage density, but it is only possible with the purchase of more or less large evaporation losses, which are unavoidable even with well-insulated containers. Up to now compressors have mainly been used for pressure storage of gases, which allow an operating pressure in the pressure vessel of about 200 to 300 bar. However, the compressors are very complex in construction and operation, also lead newer applications, such as applications in fuel cell technology or gas generators for airbags, the need for much higher pressures of 700 bar or more. Such pressures can not be realized with conventional compression technology or only with unacceptably high costs.
Aus der
Bei der Befüllung mit verflüssigtem Gas tritt jedoch das Problem auf, dass die Handhabung des im siedenden Zustand vorliegenden Füllgases mit großen Schwierigkeiten verbunden ist. Insbesondere ist eine exakte Bestimmung der eingefüllten Stoffmenge und sornit - im Falle eines Gasgemisches - eine genaue Angabe des Mischungsverhältnisses der einzelnen Gaskomponenten im befüllten Behälter kaum zu bewerkstelligen.When filling with liquefied gas, however, the problem arises that the handling of the filling gas present in the boiling state is associated with great difficulties. In particular, an exact determination of the amount of substance charged and sornit - in the case of a gas mixture - a precise indication of the mixing ratio of the individual gas components in the filled container can hardly be accomplished.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es demnach, eine Möglichkeit zur Befüllung von Druckbehältern mit Gasen oder Komponenten von Gasgemischen anzugeben, bei der die eingefüllte Gasmenge möglichst genau festgelegt ist.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a way to fill pressure vessels with gases or components of gas mixtures, in which the filled gas is set as accurately as possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 6 gelöst.This object is achieved by a method having the features of
Nach den erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist also der zu befüllende Behälter mit einem Dosierbehälter strömungsverbunden. Der Dosierbehälter wird mittels eines Wärmeaustauschmittels auf eine Temperatur gehalten, die unterhalb der Siedetemperatur des Füllgases bzw. der Füllgaskomponente, jedoch oberhalb seiner Schmelztemperatur bzw. seines Stockpunktes liegt. Gleichzeitig befindet sich auch der zu befüllende Behälter in Wärmeaustausch mit einem Wärmeaustauschmittel der gleichen oder einer anderen Art und wird auf eine Temperatur, die niedriger ist als die Temperatur im Dosierbehälter, gehalten. Das Füllgas oder die Füllgaskomponente liegt im Dosierbehälter also im flüssigen, jedoch nicht im siedenden Zustand vor und kann in seiner Menge sehr genau bestimmt werden. Zugleich verhindert die niedrigere Temperatur im zu füllenden Behälter eine Verdampfung des Gases beim Befüllen und begünstigt aufgrund des Kryopumpeneffekts die Förderung des Gases aus dem Dosierbehälter in den zu befüllenden Behälter.According to the method of the invention, therefore, the container to be filled is flow-connected to a metering container. The dosing is maintained by means of a heat exchange medium to a temperature which is below the boiling point of the filling gas or the Füllgaskomponente, but above its melting temperature or its pour point. At the same time, the container to be filled is also in heat exchange with a heat exchange medium of the same or another type and is maintained at a temperature lower than the temperature in the dosing tank. The filling gas or the filling gas component is therefore present in the dosing container in the liquid but not in the boiling state and can be determined very accurately in its quantity. At the same time prevents the lower temperature in the container to be filled evaporation of the gas during filling and favors the promotion of the gas from the dosing into the container to be filled due to the cryopump effect.
Vorteilhafterweise handelt es sich bei dem VlJärmeaustauschmittel für den Dosierbehälter und oder für den zu befüllenden Behälter um ein verflüssigtes Gas, dessen Siedetemperatur durch Einstellung des Drucks variiert wird. Dadurch kann die Temperatur des Gases in einem weiten Bereich entsprechend den Erfordernissen genau eingestellt und insbesondere auf einen Wert gehalten werden, der hinreichend weit oberhalb des Gefrierpunktes bzw. des Stockpunktes des Füllgases liegt, damit der Füllprozess nicht durch Eisablagerungen gestört wird.Advantageously, the liquid heat exchange medium for the dosing container and / or for the container to be filled is a liquefied gas whose boiling temperature is varied by adjusting the pressure. As a result, the temperature of the gas can be adjusted in a wide range according to the requirements and in particular kept at a value which is sufficiently far above the freezing point or the pour point of the filling gas, so that the filling process is not disturbed by ice deposits.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der zu befüllende Behälter mit dem gleichen Wärmeaustauschmittel temperiert wird, das auch zur Temperierung des Dosierbehälters vorgesehen ist, wobei die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen den Behältern durch unterschiedliche Drücke des Wärmeaustauschmittels realisiert wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the container to be filled with the same heat exchange medium is heated, which is also provided for controlling the temperature of the dosing, wherein the temperature difference between the containers is realized by different pressures of the heat exchange medium.
Eine weiter ausgestaltende Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der mit einer oder mehreren Füllgaskompcanenteln teilweise befüllte Behälter anschließend mit einer im gasförmigen Zustand gehaltenen Füllgaskomponente befüllt wird. Das Mischungsverhältnis der gasförmigen Füllgaskomponente zu den übrigen Füllgaskamponenten kann vorteilhaft durch Variation des Gasdrucks der gasförmigen Komponente eingestellt werden. Im erwärmten Zustand ist der befüllte Behälter dann mit einem Gasgemisch befüllt, dessen Zusammensetzung mit großer Genauigkeit bekannt ist.A further embodiment of the invention provides that the container partially filled with one or more filling gas compartments is subsequently filled with a filling gas component held in the gaseous state. The mixing ratio of the gaseous Füllgaskomponente to the other Füllgaskamponenten can be advantageously adjusted by varying the gas pressure of the gaseous component. In the heated state, the filled container is then filled with a gas mixture whose composition is known with great accuracy.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird auch durch eine Vorrichtung zum Befüllen eines Behälters mit einem Füllgas oder einem Füllgasgemisch gelöst, die mit einem Dosierbehälter versehen ist, der an Wärmetauscherflächen mit einem Wärmeaustauschmittel in thermischen Kontakt steht und mit einer Füllgaszuführung zur Zuführung des Füllgases oder einer Füllgaskomponente im flüssigen oder gasförmigen Zustand und mit einer Füllleitung zum Anschließen des zu befüllenden Behälters ausgerüstet ist. Der temperierte Dosierbehälter ermöglicht die Zuführung eines verflüssigten Füllgases oder einer Füllgaskomponente bei einer Temperatur unterhalb seines Siedepunktes und somit ohne die störenden Einflüsse, die beim Sieden des Füllgases auftreten würden.The object of the invention is also achieved by a device for filling a container with a filling gas or a filling gas mixture which is provided with a metering, which is in thermal contact with a heat exchange means in heat exchanger means and with a filling gas supply for supplying the filling gas or a Füllgaskomponente in liquid or gaseous state and is equipped with a filling line for connecting the container to be filled. The tempered dosing container allows the supply of a liquefied filling gas or a filling gas component at a temperature below its boiling point and thus without the disturbing influences that would occur during boiling of the filling gas.
Bei einer besonders zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist der Dosierbehälter in einem zur Aufnahme des Wärmeaustauschmittels vorgesehenen Druckbehälter angeordnet, Innerhalb des Druckbehälters ist der Dosierbehälter in einem Bad aus Wärmeaustausahmittel aufgenommen, dessen Temperatur durch Variation des Drucks im Druckbehälter zielgerichtet eingestellt werden kann. Die Wärmeübertragung zwischen dem Wärmeaustauschmittel und dem Füllgas erfolgt über die Wände des Dosierbehälters:In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention the dosing is arranged in a provided for receiving the heat exchange means pressure vessel within the pressure vessel of the dosing is received in a bath of Wärmeaustausahmittel whose temperature can be adjusted by varying the pressure in the pressure vessel targeted. The heat transfer between the heat exchange medium and the filling gas takes place via the walls of the metering container:
Eine weiter vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass auch der zu befüllende Behälter während seiner Befüllung in einem mit einem Wärmeaustauschmittel befüllbaren Bad aufgenommen ist.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the container to be filled is added during its filling in a fillable with a heat exchange medium bath.
Um die Zugabe des Füllgases bzw, der Füllgaskomponente möglichst zuverlässig steuern zu können, ist der Dosierbehälter vorteilhafterweise mit einer Kontrolleinrichtung zur Festlegung des Flüssigkeitspegels im Dosierbehälter ausgerüstet. Dabei kann es sich beispielsweise um einen Überlauf, handeln, oder um eine Mess- und Steuereinrichtung, die die Zugabe von Füllgas ab einer bestimmten Füllhöhe unterbindet.In order to control the addition of the filling gas or the filling gas component as reliably as possible, the metering container is advantageously equipped with a control device for fixing the liquid level in the metering. This may be, for example, an overflow, or a measuring and control device which prevents the addition of filling gas above a certain filling level.
Anhand der Zeichnung (Fig. 1) soll ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher erläutert werden.Reference to the drawing (Fig. 1), an embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail.
Die Vorrichtung 1 zum Befüllen eines Behälters 2 mit einem Füllgas oder Füllgasgemisch umfasst einen Dosierbehälter 3, der im Innern eines Druckbehälters 4 aufgenommen ist. In den Dosierbehälter 3 mündet in seinem oberen Bereich eine Gaszuleitung 6 zum Zuführen von Füllgas im gasförmigen Zustand ein. Die Gaszuleitung 6 ist mit einer Entlüftungsleitung 7 verbunden. Gaszuleitung 6 und Entlüftungsleitung 7 können mit Armaturen 8,9 geschlossen oder geöffnet werden. In einen mittleren Bereich des Dosierbehälters 3 mündet eine Flüssiggaszuleitung 11 zum Zuführen eines verflüssigten Füllgases ein. Die Flüssiggaszuleitung 11 ist mit einer Armatur 12 versehen, die mittels einer Steuereinrichtung 13 in Abhängigkeit von einem gemessenen Flüssigkeitspegel 14 im Innern des Dosierbehälters 3 ansteuerbar ist. Ferner ist der Dosierbehälter 3 mit einer Füllleitung 15 ausgerüstet, die im Betriebszustand der Vorrichtung 1 über eine lösbare Verbindungseinrichtung 10 die Strömungsverbindung zum zu befüllenden Behälter 2 herstellt. Die Füllleitung 15 ist mit einer Absperrarmatur 16 ausgerüstet.The
Der mit einer - hier nur teilweise dargestellten - Isolierung 17 versehene Druckbehälter 4 ist mit einer Zuleitung 18 für ein Wärmeaustauschmedium ausgertistet. In der Zuleitung 18 ist eine Armatur 19 angeordnet, die mittels einer Steuerung 20 in Abhängigkeit von einem gemessenen Flüssigkeitspegel 21 im Innern des Druckbehälters 4 gesteuert werden kann. In einem oberen Bereich des Druckbehälters 4 mündet eine Gäsableitung 22 ein. Eine Einrichtung 23 zur Druckkontrolle gewährleistet die Aufrechterhaltung eines bestimmten Drucks im Druckbehälter 4.The
Die Funktionsweise der Vorrichtung 1 soll anhand eines Beispiels nun näher erläutert werden. Im Beispiel soll der Behälter 2 mit möglichst exakt dosierten Mengen von Argon und Helium befüllt werden. Hierzu wird zunächst der Dosierbehälter 3 überdie Flüssiggaszuleitung 11 mit flüssigem Argon befüllt, das aus einem hier nicht gezeigten Vorratsbehälter in flüssiger Form entnommen wurde. Um zu gewährleisten, dass das Argon im Dosierbehälter 3 im flüssigen Zustand vorliegt, ist der Dosierbehälter 3 im Druckbehälter 4 in einem Bad aus einem Kühlmittel, im Beispiel flüssiger Stickstoff, aufgenommen. Der flüssige Stickstoff wird dem Druckbehälter über die Zuleitung 18 zugeführt. Der Austausch von Wärme zwischen Dosierbehälter 3 und dem Flüssigstickstoffbad erfolgt über die Wände des Dosierbehälters 3. Beim Wärmeübergang verdampft der Stickstoff im Druckbehälter 4 teilweise und erhöht damit den Druck im Druckbehälter 4. Mittels der Einrichtung 23 zur Druckregelung, wird der Druck im Druckbehälter auf einen vorgegebenen Wert von beispielsweise etwa 3 bar aufrechterhalten. Bei diesem Druck liegt der Flüssigstickstoff im Druckbehälter 4 bei einer Temperatur von ca. minus 187°C vor, also bei einer Temperatur, die unterhalb des Siedepunktes von Argon unter Normaldruckbedingungen (minus 186°C) oder bei höheren Drücken, jedoch oberhalb des Schmelzpunktes von Argon (minus 189°C) liegt. Das im Dosierbehälter 3 bei einem geringen Überdruck von beispielsweise ca. 1,1 bar vorliegende Argon liegt damit im flüssigen, jedoch nicht im siedenden Zustand vor. In diesem Zustand ist das flüssige Argon leicht zu handhaben und ermöglicht insbesondere die exakte Befüllung des Dosierbehälters 4 bis zu einem vorgegebenen Flüssigkeitspegel 14.The operation of the
Wenn der Dosierbehälter 3 auf diese Weise mit einer definierten Flüssigargonmenge befüllt ist, wird die Armatur 12 vollständig geschlossen und die Armatur 16 geöffnet. Das Argon fließt in den Behälter 2. Der Behälter 2 ist in einem isolierten Tauchbadbehälter 25 aufgenommen und wird ebenfalls mit flüssigem Stickstoff gekühlt. Der Stickstoff hat im Tauchbadbehälter 25 jedoch einen geringeren Druck als im Druckbehälter 4, beispielsweise Atmosphärendruck, und liegt demzufolge bei einer niedrigeren Temperatur vor. Dadurch ist der Argondampfdruck im Behälter 1 stets niedriger als im Dosierbehälter 2, sodass der Befüllvorgang nicht durch verdampfendes Argon behindert wird. Liegt der Flüssigstickstoff im Tauchbadbehälter 25 bei atmosphärischem Druck vor, beträgt seine Temperatur minus 196°C und das eingefüllte Argon im Behälter 2 friert aus. Die hierdurch erzeugte Sogwirkung (Kryopumpeneffekt) unterstützt und beschleunigt den Befüllvorgang.If the
Die Befüllung des Behälters 1 mit flüssigem Argon ist im übrigen auch dann möglich, wenn die Verbindungseinrichtung 10 nicht gasdicht, sondern nach Art einer Spritze ausgebildet ist: Weiterhin kann anstelle der zuvor beschriebenen Befüllung des Dosierbehälters 3 mit flüssigem Argon auch Argon im gasförmigen Zustand über die Gaszuleitung 6 herangeführt werden, welches sich dann im Dosierbehälter 3 durch die Wärmeabfuhr über die Behälterwand des Dosierbehälters 3 verflüssigt. Anstelle des den Dosierbehälter 3 aufnehmenden Druckbehälters 4 oder ergänzend zu diesem kann die Temperatur im Dosierbehälter 4 auch durch eine andere Technik, etwa durch eine Wärmetauscher, eingestellt werden.The filling of the
Nachdem das flüssige Argon in den Behälter 2 eingefüllt wurde, erfolgt die Zudosierung eines weiteren Gases, das im flüssigen oder gasförmigen Zustand zugeführt werden kann. Im Beispiel wird gasförmiges Helium über die Gaszuleitung 6 in den Dosierbehälter 3 eingebracht. Die Kontrolle über die zugeführte Gasmenge erfolgt dabei durch Regelung des Drucks in der Gaszuleitung 6 oder im Dosierbehälter 3. Das Helium bleibt im Dosierbehälter 3 im gasförmigen Zustand. Die Zudosierung des Heliums kann erfolgen, nachdem das im Dosierbehälter 3 zwischengespeicherte Argon vollständig in den Behälter eingefüllt worden ist; es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Zuführung des Heliums über die Gaszuleitung 6 bereits während der Argon-Befüllung des Behälters 2 vorzunehmen und damit infolge des Gasdrucks die Befüllung des Behälters 2 insgesamt zu beschleunigen.After the liquid argon has been introduced into the
Nach Abschluss der Heliumbefülfung wird die Absperrarmatur 16 geschlossen, der Behälter 2 verschlossen und von der Verbindungseinrichtung 10 getrennt. Der Dosierbehälter 3 wird durch Öffnen des Armatur 9 druckentlastet, und die Vorrichtung 1 steht zur Befüllung eines weiteren Behälters zur Verfügung.After completion of the Heliumbefülfung the shut-off
Der Behälter 1 kann in einer anderen Vorgehensweise auch nach der Befüllung mit Argon von der Vorrichtung 1 abgekoppelt und zu einer..weiteren Abfüllvorrichtung transportiert werden, in der dann die Heliumb,efülEung erfolgt. Wegen des niedrigen Argon-Dampfdrucks im Behälter 1 entweicht beim Transport nahezu kein Argon aus dem Behälter 2, auch wenn dieser für den Transportvorgang nicht verschlossen wird. Diese Vorgehensweise hat den Vorteil, dass bereits vorhandene Helium-Follanlagen hierfür genutzt werden könnten. Die Vorrichtung 1 eignet sich auch zur Befüllung von Behältern mit Gasgemischen, die aus mehr als zwei Komponenten bestehen. In diesem Falle werden die einzelnen Komponenten sukzessive in der zuvor beschriebenen Weise zudosiert. Die Vorrichtung 1 ermöglicht eine genaue und schnelle Befüllung von Behältern 2 mit niedrigem Befülldruck und einem genau vorausberechenbaren Enddruck.The
