Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of methods for filling cryogenic liquid such as liquid nitrogen from a downstream tank, from an upstream storage.
  • Such filling operations are found, for example, for filling tanks present in trucks used for the transport and distribution of temperature sensitive products, such as pharmaceutical products and food products.
  • the cryogenic fluid for example liquid nitrogen is available in a large capacity upstream storage, connected to equipment consuming this fluid downstream such as the tank of a truck, the upstream storage containing under a pressure of storage greater than atmospheric pressure, the cryogenic fluid in liquid phase at the bottom of the tank and in gaseous phase at the top of the tank, this storage being suitable for, on the one hand, supplying the downstream consumer equipment with liquid which is withdrawn at the bottom of the storage , and on the other hand to be supplied from the outside with fluid.
  • the cryogenic fluid for example liquid nitrogen is available in a large capacity upstream storage, connected to equipment consuming this fluid downstream such as the tank of a truck, the upstream storage containing under a pressure of storage greater than atmospheric pressure, the cryogenic fluid in liquid phase at the bottom of the tank and in gaseous phase at the top of the tank, this storage being suitable for, on the one hand, supplying the downstream consumer equipment with liquid which is withdrawn at the bottom of the storage , and on the other hand to be supplied from the outside with fluid.
  • low storage pressure storage is most commonly used, that is to say the maximum pressure reached at the top of the tank is generally less than about 4 bars absolute, conventionally 1.5 bars relative pressure. at the top of the storage.
  • a cryogenic pump is commonly used, to increase the upstream pressure during the transfer to the cryogenic tank located downstream ( figure 1 hereinafter annexed).
  • cryogenic pumps can present drawbacks in terms of cost, maintenance obligations, and specific operational constraints such as cooling before use.
  • a cryogenic pump in fact includes rotating parts that require specific maintenance.
  • One of the objectives of the present invention is therefore to propose a new rapid filling approach, making it possible to provide a solution to the technical problems identified above.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a method for filling at least one downstream reservoir with cryogenic liquid, from an upstream storage, upstream storage which contains, under a storage pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, the cryogenic fluid in the liquid phase. at the bottom of the repository and in the gas phase at the top of the repository, said upstream storage being adapted to supply the downstream reservoir with liquid withdrawn from the bottom of the storage, as well as to be supplied from the outside with fluid, characterized in that a pressure difference is set up and maintained between the upstream storage and the downstream reservoir, by establishing at the level of the gas phase of the upstream storage a pressure greater than the equilibrium pressure of the storage.
  • the figure 2 illustrates for its part an installation whose operating method is in accordance with the invention, which does not include such a pressurization means, but which on the other hand comprises a control device, able to act automatically on the cryogenic liquid supply pressure of the upstream storage at the bottom of the vessel and on the temperature of the stored cryogenic liquid, in response to a measurement of the pressure of the gas phase of the tank. upstream storage and the position of this measurement with respect to the equilibrium pressure of the storage, to maintain a pressure difference between the upstream storage and the downstream reservoir, while maintaining this pressure of the gas phase at a level higher than the pressure equilibrium of the storage corresponding to the temperature of the cryogenic fluid of the storage.
  • the transfer pressure of the cryogenic fluid is adjusted to the desired nominal value, for example 5 bar relative for a given application of liquid nitrogen downstream, the temperature of the fluid is also controlled with respect to a value of reference under given conditions, for example -187 ° C which corresponds to an equilibrium pressure of 1.5 bar relative. If after a period of use, the temperature deviation from the setpoint is greater than the set hysteresis, a new pressure setpoint is inserted into the controller in order to reduce the associated gas overhead pressure and consequently to limit the heating of the fluid in the storage during non-operational periods of transfers. The system returns to operating pressure in anticipation of operational reuse of the rapid transfer facility.
  • the control device thus allows configurable management of pressure, temperature and time data in order to optimize the overall consumption of the installation.
  • the table For each operating condition, the table provides the filling time as well as the average flow rate implemented.
