Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the refilling of refrigerant fluid and more particularly to a recovery and recharging station, and the associated weighing method, of a refrigerant fluid in a refrigeration module of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, a machine or a agricultural or public works machine, utility or industrial vehicle.
  • the invention aims in particular to allow precise and reliable weighing of the coolant liquid present in the internal circuit of the station.
  • the charging station is in the form of a mobile carriage on which are mounted, in particular, a refrigerant fluid storage tank, a vacuum pump, a separator, a compressor and a plurality of solenoid valves connected by pipes making it possible to create an internal fluid circuit between a low pressure inlet and a high pressure outlet of the station.
  • the charging station In order to be able to ensure the safety of the operator carrying out the operations of recovering and recharging the refrigerant fluid, the charging station must be capable of precisely determining the weight of the refrigerant fluid contained in the tank at each instant following the start of the phase. recovery. Indeed, the liquid part of the coolant fluid contained in the tank can, by expansion, in particular during a rise in temperature, reach the internal volume of the tank and lead to the explosion of said tank. For example, it is known not to exceed 80% of the volume of the tank to avoid a risk of explosion.
  • the tank In order to measure the weight of the liquid part of the refrigerant fluid, the tank is mounted on an electronic scale, called a weighing cell, which indicates the total instantaneous weight of the tank and thus makes it possible to deduce the weight of the refrigerant liquid that the tank contains.
  • a weighing cell which indicates the total instantaneous weight of the tank and thus makes it possible to deduce the weight of the refrigerant liquid that the tank contains.
  • the measurement of the weight of the refrigerant fluid carried out by the charging stations of the prior art can turn out to be notably imprecise because certain volumes of refrigerant liquid can accumulate in the internal circuit outside the tank.
  • it is known to purge the internal circuit of the charging station that is to say to move the liquid present in the internal circuit out of the reservoir towards said reservoir.
  • this purge operation must be carried out after the end of the recovery operation, which does not make it possible to precisely measure the weight of the refrigerant fluid during the recovery operation, with the aforementioned risks that this includes.
  • the fluid purge can result in a loss (passage from the liquid state to the gaseous state) which can be considered as degassing into the atmosphere, which is problematic with regard to the requirements on compliance with the environment.
  • a volume of refrigerant can also be found in the oil used in the charging station because the solenoid valves used in the separators of the existing solutions degas the refrigerant in gaseous form in the oil, this volume then being outside the tank. Such degassing again constitutes a problem with regard to the requirements on respect for the environment.
  • the document DE 20 2013 004158 U1 refers in figure 1 to the prior art of the document WO2011/063961 which describes a station comprising an internal circulation circuit of said coolant but in which the separator 140 is independent of the tank 115 and the weighing is carried out by two separate weighing cells 117A, 117B.
  • the documents EP3162599A1 and US4768347A relate to a station 20 for recovering, recycling and recharging a refrigerant fluid from a refrigeration module 10 of a motor vehicle, but this station does not allow precise measurement of the mass of the refrigerant fluid.

Such a weighing makes it possible to know precisely the quantity of fluid present in the station while avoiding carrying out a purge of the internal circuit of the station. The absence of a purge step simplifies the architecture of the station while reducing the total recovery and recharging time.

  • a separation step E2 the used oil falls to the bottom of the separator 20 while the refrigerant fluid is absorbed by the outlet A OUT under the action of the compressor 33 and is routed to the filter drier 32.
  • the filter drier 32 then absorbs moisture from the refrigerant fluid which is then routed to the compressor separator 34.
  • the accumulation of oil from the compressor 33 in the compressor separator 34 increases the pressure in the separator 20.
  • the separation solenoid valve EV11 can be controlled by the control module 130 in opening, periodically and in jerks, for example three or four times every 10 seconds, in order to convey the oil from the compressor separator 34 to the compressor 33 and thus reduce the pressure in the separator 20, this pressure being measured by the feed pressure sensor C1. More precisely, the measurement of the pressure in the separator 20 by the feed pressure sensor C1 allows the control module 130 to control the pressure in the separator 20 so that it remains low, for example of the order of 0.3 bar.
  • the low pressure in the separator 20 avoids propelling a large quantity of refrigerant fluid into the atmosphere, thus reducing the quantity of polluting gas discharged into the atmosphere compared to previous solutions which evacuate the used oil towards the used oil collection bottle 120 at high pressure and therefore in large quantities.
  • the refrigerant fluid leaving the coil 22 is conveyed to the condenser 40 which transforms the gaseous part into liquid in order to store it in the tank 50 in a step E3 of condensation.
  • the weighing cell 60 weighs, in a step E4, the assembly formed by the tank 50, the separator 20, the condenser 40 as well as the pipes connecting them two to of them.
  • This overall weighing makes it possible to weigh all of the refrigerant liquid which circulates or is stored in the tank 50, in the separator 20, in the condenser 40 as well as in the pipes connecting them two by two.
  • the control module 130 deduces therefrom the weight of the liquid coolant recovered in order to ensure that the load limit of tank 50 is not in danger of being exceeded, which could increase the internal pressure of tank 50 beyond a limit for which a risk of explosion of tank 50 is possible.
  • a step E5 of emptying the internal circuit of the station 1 is carried out in a so-called “vacuuming” mode.
  • This step consists of opening the pumping solenoid valve module EV14, the high pressure line solenoid valve module EV9 and the low pressure line solenoid valve module EV10, the other solenoid valves and solenoid valve modules being closed, in order to lowering the pressure of the internal circuit to a negative value, for example to a value of the order of ⁇ 20 bars.
  • the tracer injection solenoid valve EV16 can be opened if necessary in order to inject, from the tracer injection bottle 110, an ultraviolet tracer into the air conditioning module during a step E7 in order to detect a leak said air conditioning module from an ultraviolet lamp (so-called “tracer injection” mode).
  • a non-condensable purge step can be performed by opening the purge solenoid valve non-condensables EV18 mounted on tank 50, the other solenoid valves and solenoid valve modules being closed (so-called “non-condensables purge” mode).
  • the oil injection solenoid valve EV15 and, if applicable, the tracer injection solenoid valve EV16 are closed, then the refrigerant charge solenoid valve EV17 and the valve 53 are open in order to allow recharging of the air conditioning module with refrigerant fluid during a step E8 in a so-called “recharging” mode.
  • the control module 130 positions or maintains the valve 31 in the open position, as does the recovery solenoid valve module EV12, and activates the compressor 33 in order to evacuate the refrigerant from the group of solenoid valves 90, from the dehydration module 30 and from the separator 20 to the reservoir 50.
  • the control module 130 then places the valve 31 in the closed position.
  • the maintenance operator can then dismantle and replace the filter drier 32. Once the replacement has been made, the control module 130 reopens the valve 31 and activates the vacuum pump 70 in order to expel the air and the humidity towards the outside, the circuit then being under vacuum.
  • the arrangement of the separator 20 and the condenser 40 on the tank 50 therefore advantageously makes it possible to weigh precisely and at any time the weight of coolant liquid contained in the station 1 in order to ensure that the limiting volume of coolant liquid in the tank 50 is not exceeded.
  • such an arrangement advantageously makes it possible to precisely determine the quantity of refrigerant fluid recovered from the air conditioning module.
