Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des procédés de refroidissement mettant en oeuvre du CO2.The present invention relates to the field of cooling processes using CO 2 .
L'utilisation du CO2 dans de tels procédés de refroidissement est, on le sait, très avantageuse puisque ce fluide présente une phase solide à -80°C à la pression atmosphérique, ce qui permet de mettre en oeuvre pour certaines applications de la glace sèche, glace très efficace notamment pour apporter du froid de manière localisée sans aucune installation frigorifique. De nombreuses applications du CO2 solide existent comme par exemple les sacs de glace carbonique chargés dans les conteneurs de transport de produits alimentaires ou pharmaceutiques, ou encore les utilisations pour le maintien en froid des repas dans le domaine des transports aériens.The use of CO 2 in such cooling processes is, as is known, very advantageous since this fluid has a solid phase at -80 ° C. at atmospheric pressure, which makes it possible to use ice for certain applications. dryer, very effective ice especially to bring cold localized without any refrigeration facility. Many solid CO 2 applications exist such as dry ice bags loaded in containers for the transport of food or pharmaceutical products, as well as uses for keeping meals cold in the air transport sector.
Cependant, lorsque ce gaz est utilisé dans des échangeurs de chaleur (injection « indirecte »), typiquement à tubes ou à plaques, cet avantage se transforme en inconvénient car l'apparition intempestive de la forme solide du CO2 (neige carbonique) dans un échangeur entraine assez rapidement le bouchage de celui-ci. Le document D1 =
Pour éviter cet inconvénient de passage en phase solide, on cherche donc à éviter que la phase solide du CO2 n'apparaisse, et on favorise donc les conditions permettant que le CO2 reste sous forme liquide ou gazeuse dans l'ensemble de l'échangeur.To avoid this disadvantage of passage into the solid phase, it is therefore sought to prevent the solid phase of CO 2 from appearing, and so the conditions are allowed to allow the CO 2 remains in liquid or gaseous form in the whole of the exchanger.
Pour que l'échange thermique soit réalisé en restant en phase liquide et gazeuse (vaporisation du CO2 liquide sans prendre le risque de former du CO2 solide), la pression dans le tube doit être maintenue à une valeur supérieure à la pression théorique de 5,18 bar correspondant à la pression du point triple de ce fluide. Dans la pratique, on bride en quelque sorte le système à une pression de 6 à 7 bar en se ménageant ainsi une marge de sécurité de 0,82 à 1,82 bar.In order for the heat exchange to be carried out while remaining in the liquid and gaseous phase (vaporization of the liquid CO 2 without taking the risk of forming solid CO 2 ), the pressure in the tube must be maintained at a value greater than the theoretical pressure of 5.18 bar corresponding to the pressure of the triple point of this fluid. In practice, the system is in some way clamped to a pressure of 6 to 7 bar thus providing a safety margin of 0.82 to 1.82 bar.
Alors que la température de sublimation du CO2 solide à la pression atmosphérique est de -80°C, le fait de maintenir la pression dans l'échangeur à 6 bar relatifs augmente la température de vaporisation à environ -50°C.While the sublimation temperature of CO 2 solid at atmospheric pressure is -80 ° C, maintaining the pressure in the exchanger at 6 bar relative increases the vaporization temperature to about -50 ° C.
D'autre part, le fait de réaliser l'échange thermique à 6 bar et non à la pression atmosphérique diminue légèrement la capacité frigorifique du CO2. En effet, lorsqu'un kilogramme de CO2 soutiré d'un stockage, par exemple dans des conditions standard de type 20 bar absolus / -20°C, entre dans un échangeur, il y libère 277,97 kJ/kg s'il est rejeté à -50°C sous forme gazeuse à 6 bar relatifs, alors que pour la même quantité de CO2, il libère 292,6 kJ/kg lorsqu'il est rejeté à -50°C à la pression atmosphérique, soit un gain de 5%.On the other hand, the fact of carrying out the heat exchange at 6 bar and not at atmospheric pressure slightly decreases the cooling capacity of the CO 2 . Indeed, when a kilogram of CO 2 withdrawn from storage, for example under standard conditions of 20 bar absolute / -20 ° C, enters a heat exchanger, it releases 277.97 kJ / kg if is released at -50 ° C in gaseous form at 6 bar relative, while for the same amount of CO 2 , it releases 292.6 kJ / kg when it is released at -50 ° C at atmospheric pressure, ie 5% gain.
A titre d'exemple, on trouve de telles applications d'utilisation du CO2 rejeté à 6 bar après passage dans un échangeur dans le transport réfrigéré en camion mais également dans des tunnels ou chambre de surgélation; où un échangeur de chaleur est alimenté en CO2 liquide qui en s'évaporant dans cet échangeur, extrait la chaleur du milieu à refroidir et produit ainsi le froid désiré ; le transfert du froid aux produits passe par un échange avec l'air interne du tunnel, de la chambre ou du camion par l'intervention de moyens de ventilation associés à chaque échangeurBy way of example, such applications for the use of CO 2 discharged at 6 bar can be found after passing through an exchanger in the refrigerated truck transport, but also in tunnels or freezing chambers; where a heat exchanger is supplied with liquid CO 2 which, by evaporating in this exchanger, extracts heat from the medium to be cooled and thus produces the desired cold; the transfer of the cold to the products passes by an exchange with the internal air of the tunnel, the room or the truck by the intervention of means of ventilation associated with each exchanger
On comprend dès lors qu'il serait intéressant de pouvoir proposer une solution technique permettant de réaliser l'échange thermique dans un échangeur type à tubes ou à plaques (échange indirect), pour des températures d'échangeur néanmoins basses (typiquement -50°C), sans risquer bien entendu la formation de neige et en ne perdant pas la capacité calorifique du CO2 après sa détente de 6 bar à la pression atmosphérique.It is therefore understood that it would be interesting to be able to propose a technical solution for carrying out heat exchange in a tube or plate type heat exchanger (indirect exchange), for nevertheless low heat exchanger temperatures (typically -50 ° C. ), without, of course, risking the formation of snow and not losing the heat capacity of the CO 2 after its relaxation of 6 bar at atmospheric pressure.
Comme on le verra plus en détail dans ce qui suit, la présente invention propose une nouvelle solution d'échange dont les principales caractéristiques peuvent être résumées ainsi :
- la solution proposée ici réside dans la configuration d'échangeur adoptée, où l'échangeur, qui peut être par exemple de type à tubes ou à plaques, est constitué de deux échangeurs montés en série ;
- le premier échangeur est apte à être alimenté par du CO2 liquide (par exemple dans des conditions standards de type -20°C/20 bar), le liquide rencontrant, avant son arrivée dans le premier échangeur un détendeur thermostatique ou un ensemble sonde de température/régulateur/vanne, ou tout autre moyen permettant d'ajuster le débit de CO2 parvenant au 1er échangeur aux besoins thermiques en jeu, i.e. de contrôler une surchauffe, en d'autres termes une différence de température entre la température correspondant à la pression de vapeur saturante (par
exemple 6 bar, -53,1°C) et par exemple -50°C, ce qui correspond à 3,1 ° de surchauffe ; - on maintient dans ce premier échangeur une pression supérieure à 5,18 bar relatifs, i.e. la température du changement de phase du CO2 (et on empêche ainsi la formation de neige), on pourra par exemple maintenir 6 bar absolus grâce à un déverseur ou un ensemble capteur de pression/régulateur/vanne, placé en sortie de ce premier échangeur ;
- cet arrangement permet d'assurer que le CO2 est présent dans le premier échangeur sous une forme strictement diphasique liquide/gaz, sans qu'à aucun moment les conditions mises en oeuvre ne permettent la formation de solide ;
- la température minimum obtenue sur ce premier échangeur est alors voisine de -50°C ;
- selon un des modes de réalisation, le déverseur en sortie du premier échangeur est précédé par un séparateur de phase pour éviter toute sortie de liquide du premier échangeur.
- the solution proposed here resides in the adopted exchanger configuration, where the heat exchanger, which may for example be of the tube or plate type, consists of two exchangers connected in series;
- the first exchanger is able to be fed with liquid CO 2 (for example under standard conditions of the -20 ° C / 20 bar type), the liquid meeting, before its arrival in the first heat exchanger a thermostatic expansion valve or a probe assembly of temperature / regulator / valve, or any other means for adjusting the CO 2 flow reaching the exchanger 1, the heat requirements involved, ie to control overheating, in other words, a temperature difference between the temperature corresponding to the saturation vapor pressure (for example 6 bar, -53.1 ° C.) and for example -50 ° C., which corresponds to 3.1 ° of superheating;
- in this first exchanger is maintained a pressure greater than 5.18 bar relative, ie the CO 2 phase change temperature (and thus prevents the formation of snow), one can for example maintain 6 bar absolute thanks to a discharge or a pressure sensor / regulator / valve assembly, placed at the outlet of this first exchanger;
- this arrangement makes it possible to ensure that the CO 2 is present in the first exchanger in a strictly two-phase liquid / gas form, without the conditions used at any time permitting the formation of solid;
- the minimum temperature obtained on this first exchanger is then close to -50 ° C;
- according to one of the embodiments, the discharge device at the outlet of the first exchanger is preceded by a phase separator to prevent any liquid outlet from the first exchanger.
Ce déverseur ainsi que la sortie du premier échangeur pourront être installés en partie haute dans l'installation globale, pour éviter les sorties de liquide, mais des configurations où les deux échangeurs sont sur le même plan sont parfaitement envisageables.This weir and the outlet of the first exchanger can be installed at the top in the overall installation, to avoid liquid outlets, but configurations where the two exchangers are on the same plane are perfectly conceivable.
La présence optionnelle du séparateur évoqué ci-dessus participe au renforcement de la fiabilité du système. Il évite l'amenée de liquide dans le déverseur et donc la formation de neige et le bouchage de ce point.
- En résumé, le CO2 liquide se vaporise dans ce premier échangeur et le gaz formé dans l'échangeur, par exemple à 6 bar, est libéré dans le second échangeur;
- ce second échangeur est à la pression atmosphérique (et en tout état de cause à une pression inférieure au point triple du fluide), le gaz passe alors en entrant dans ce second échangeur de 6 bar (ou de la pression plus généralement maintenue dans le premier échangeur) à la pression atmosphérique (ou en tout état de cause à une pression comprise entre le point triple du fluide et la pression atmosphérique), ceci en produisant du froid, à savoir une température typiquement comprise entre -60°C et -70°C ;
- et c'est tout le mérite de la présente invention puisque dans le second échangeur est alors utilisé ce froid, produit par la détente à la pression atmosphérique, et toute l'énergie contenue dans le CO2 est alors utilisée.
- In summary, the liquid CO 2 vaporizes in this first exchanger and the gas formed in the exchanger, for example at 6 bar, is released in the second exchanger;
- this second exchanger is at atmospheric pressure (and in any case at a pressure below the triple point of the fluid), the gas then passes entering this
second exchanger 6 bar (or more generally maintained pressure in the first exchanger) at atmospheric pressure (or in any event at a pressure between the triple point of the fluid and the atmospheric pressure), this producing cold, namely a temperature typically between -60 ° C and -70 ° VS ; - and this is the merit of the present invention since in the second exchanger is then used this cold, produced by the relaxation at atmospheric pressure, and all the energy contained in the CO 2 is then used.
La présente invention concerne alors un procédé mettant en oeuvre du CO2 liquide comme fluide cryogénique pour transférer des frigories à des produits, procédé du type dit à injection indirecte où le CO2 liquide est envoyé dans un système d'échangeur thermique où il s'évapore, le transfert de froid aux produits passant par un échange entre l'atmosphère environnant les produits et les parois froides de l'échangeur thermique, le système d'échangeur étant constitué de deux échangeurs montés en série, le second échangeur est lui maintenu à la pression atmosphérique ou à une pression comprise entre le point triple du fluide et la pression atmosphérique, se caractérisant en ce que le premier échangeur est maintenu à une pression supérieure à la pression du point triple du CO2.The present invention thus relates to a process using liquid CO 2 as a cryogenic fluid for transferring frigories to products, a process of the so-called indirect injection type where the liquid CO 2 is sent to a heat exchanger system where it is used. evaporates, the transfer of cold products passing through an exchange between the atmosphere surrounding the products and the cold walls of the heat exchanger, the exchanger system consisting of two exchangers connected in series, the second heat exchanger is maintained at the atmospheric pressure or at a pressure between the triple point of the fluid and the atmospheric pressure, characterized in that the first exchanger is maintained at a pressure greater than the pressure of the triple point of CO 2 .
La présente invention concerne également une installation de transfert de frigories à des produits utilisant du CO2 liquide, l'installation mettant en oeuvre un procédé du type dit à injection indirecte et comprenant :
- un système d'échangeur thermique apte y faire transiter le CO2 liquide ; et
- des moyens de ventilation associés au système d'échangeur thermique, apte à mettre en contact l'atmosphère environnant les produits avec les parois froides du système d'échangeur thermique,
l'installation mettant en oeuvre les mesures suivantes :- le système d'échangeur est constitué de deux échangeurs montés en série ;
- l'installation comprend, en amont de l'entrée du premier échangeur, un moyen apte à ajuster le débit de CO2 et à en contrôler le niveau de surchauffe par rapport à la température correspondant à la pression de vapeur saturante, tel qu'un détendeur thermostatique ou un ensemble sonde de température/régulateur/vanne;
- le second échangeur est à la pression atmosphérique ou à une pression comprise entre le point triple du fluide et la pression atmosphérique, se caractérisant en ce que l'installation comprend un moyen pour maintenir dans le premier échangeur une pression supérieure à la pression du point triple du CO2, préférentiellement un déverseur ou un ensemble capteur de pression/régulateur/vanne.

- the second exchanger is at atmospheric pressure or at a pressure between the triple point of the fluid and the atmospheric pressure, characterized in that the installation comprises means for maintaining in the first exchanger a pressure greater than the pressure of the triple point CO 2 , preferably an overflow device or a pressure sensor / regulator / valve assembly.
L'installation comprend donc le cas échéant un moyen pour maintenir dans le second échangeur la pression atmosphérique ou une pression comprise entre le point triple du fluide et la pression atmosphérique.The installation therefore comprises, if necessary, means for maintaining in the second exchanger the atmospheric pressure or a pressure comprised between the triple point of the fluid and the atmospheric pressure.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront alors plus clairement dans la description suivante, donnée à titre illustratif mais nullement limitatif, faite en relation avec les

exemple 6 bar, -53,1 °C) et par exemple -50°C, ce qui correspond à 3,1 °C de surchauffe.
- the first heat exchanger is capable of being supplied with liquid CO 2 (for example under standard conditions of the -20 ° C / 20 bar type), the liquid meeting before its arrival in the first heat exchanger a thermostatic expansion valve (downstream from the point 1) or any other means for adjusting the flow rate of CO 2 reaching the exchanger 1, the heat requirements involved, ie to control overheating, in other words, a temperature difference between the vapor pressure corresponding to the temperature saturating (for example 6 bar, -53.1 ° C) and for example -50 ° C, which corresponds to 3.1 ° C overheating.
En aval du point 2 le fluide entre dans le 1er échangeur.
