Storage facility

The invention relates to a storage system, for preferably gaseous media, in particular for storing gaseous media Low pressure media.

Gas pressure accumulators for different media are already known. These are generally hollow bodies, e.g. balls, Cylinders, cones or the like, which are made of metal, plastic or some other substantially rigid material are made. The amount of gas to be stored in these hollow bodies is primarily that of the

Material-dependent, permissible maximum storage pressure is determined and in the second place on the actual volume of the reservoir, At a given maximum pressure (e.g. withdrawal pressure) for It is therefore necessary for everyone to have such a memory Purpose, i.e. for storing different amounts of gas that arise at different installation locations each time to produce a new storage tank that has been modified in terms of its conception and dimensions. Memory of this Ways are therefore economical and constructive very time-consuming.

There are also storage systems made of solid material for gaseous media which, for example, “consist of a cylinder closed on one side, in which a disk that is adapted to its inner diameter and sealed is arranged on the open side at the top. Furthermore, so-called gasometer are known in which two one-sided open cylinder m be slipped it these open ends together. In the case of these .1 two latter types of storage, the interior space is then filled with gas. Depending on the amount or pressure of the gas, the disk or the upper cylinder is then raised and lowered. To build such storage facilities

In Fig. 1, a guide housing is on a foundation plate 1, consisting of guide rods 2 and a canopy 3 »

built up. In the space delimited by the guide rods 2, cushion, lens or bubble-shaped partial storage units 5 are stacked vertically on a base plate 4 resting on the foundation plate 1, In Baerten (edge-like projections) 7 of the sub-storage unit 5, guide eyes 6 are provided which the guide rods 2 If necessary, grip around with a slidable grip. The partial memory 5 consist of
flexible material, for example fabric-reinforced rubber or plastic, where ZoB. each with an upper flat part below
Formation of a relatively stiff beard 7 with one
lower flat part is connected. The lcJhsis -shaped or elongated guide eyes 6 are located in the beard 7 and are
Eegtgr 'incorporated into the beard (punched, vulcanized, sewn or the like). The guide eyes 6 can, however
also releasable, for example by means of carabiners, shackles, rings or the like with the beard 7 by means of clamping, screw or positive locking
Fasteners connected. The play of the guide eyes 6 on the guide rods 2 allows the partial storage 5 to be drawn together in the plane of the beard 7 when
Filling process, so that jamming and tensioning of the partial memory 5 on the guide rods 2 is avoided.

Each partial memory 5 is provided with two coupling parts G, which are known per se and therefore not shown veiter, which, for. Bo in the contact areas s of the superimposed partial memory 5 lie so that the central axes of all coupling parts are approximately in the vertical central axis of the storage system. The coupling part 8 on the bottom k dei ~ shim lying part of the memory 5 is sealed by a closure piece ^. In the upper coupling part 8 of the uppermost partial storage unit 5, a kind of piece 10 is inserted, which in turn contains a filling connection 11, which is known per se, and an extraction connection 12, which is also known per se and is therefore not shown further. The coupling parts 8 of all other partial stores 5 are connected to one another by screw, clamp, bayonet or other closures, not shown, in such a way that the cavities of the partial stores 5 are connected to one another in a sealed manner to the outside. A ring 15 can be placed on the uppermost partial storage unit 5, the weight of which - possibly reinforced by additional weights 14 - exerts a downward force on the sub-storage unit 5. With the help of this force, an internal pressure determined by the weight of the ring 13 (and the additional weights 1 ^), e.g. _, desired internal pressure for the removal, can be generated in the filled partial reservoirs 5.

t «■ ■ ο α

When removed, the partial storage 5 are due to their own weight and possibly also through the additional weights (ring 13 and additional weights ΐΛ) up to an almost complete one Emptying pressed together while on the guide rods 2 pushed down and held stacked on the washer 4, see e.g. Fig. 2.

During a filling process, the partial storage units 5 expand again and slide up along the guide rods 2. With an almost constant internal pressure, the distance covered is dependent on the degree of filling of the entire storage system. By attaching a marking, e.g. on the guide rods 2 and on the hanging 13, the amount can be constantly monitored of the stored pressure medium are displayed.

The number of partial memories 5 is determined by the accumulating and The amount of gas to be stored is conditional. It can be enlarged at any time by adding or removing individual partial memories or be reduced in size. The addition of further sub-memories 5 takes place simply in that the sub-memories 5 are fixed in their beard 7 arranged guide holes 6 from above or pushed down onto the guide rod 2 and with the in each case neighboring are coupled »The closure piece or the fitting piece 10 is then finally again the assigned top or bottom partial memory.

Construction of partial storage with openable guide eyes (e.g. carabiners) these are only latched into the guide rod and coupled together.

It is also possible to provide a sufficient number of guide eyes 6 on each of the guide rods 2, with which the partial memory 5 to be inserted only need to be connected.

In the case of different types of gases to be stored in one and the same storage facility, a group \ - »n Partial storage of a partial storage sequence, coherent, separate larger storage spaces form ^ inside— are spatially connected to one another, with the lowest or uppermost partial storage of each group being closed and at the top or bottom partial memory of each group a filling and a drainage connection zti one Fitting piece 10 are to be arranged.

Fig. 3 shows an upper part of a guide housing for a storage system, with a protective roof 15 combined with a weight l6 and along the guide rods 2 is movable. In the weight l6 there is a filling and

The canopy 15 j in combination with the weight l6, does not follow because of its sliding, no further The arrangement shown of each movement of the partial memory 5 uud creates a determinable internal pressure in this due to its weight.

FIG. K also shows a device that exerts a compressive force, which makes it possible to exert an adjustable force on the partial storage unit 5 of a storage system in any direction determined by the position of the guide rod (also horizontally or at an angle) Guide rods 2 are slidably mounted and can be fixed in any position by clamping devices 50. On this spring plate 19, for example, metal or plastic compression springs, pneumatic or hydraulic springs 20 are supported, which, directed towards the partial accumulators 5, rest on a pressure plate 21 which is also held displaceably on the guide rods 2 and at the same time on the next partial accumulator rests. The pressure plate 21 transmits the force of the compression spring 20 to the partial accumulator 5 In the example shown (Fig. 4)

the filling and removal line 17 and l8 is expedient passed through the spring assembly. In Fig. 5 and 6 are opposite to the one circular, elliptical, Square, rectangular od Have shape and one after the other comprise a Füforungssäule 23, which starts from a foundation plate 24. The coupling parts 8 are located here eccentrically in the circular ring Contact surfaces of the partial memory 22 (Fig. 6). The partial storage 22 can both be closed in a ring shape be formed with a central Durdi fraction 51, whereby they have to be pushed over the end of the guide column 23 for stacking, as well as an interruption 25, see partial memory 26 (FIG. 7) · The interruption 25 is slightly wider than the diameter the guide column 23, so that the partial memory 26 simply surrounds the guide column 23 from the side needs to be inserted. In order to prevent the filled, sausage-shaped partial storage unit 26 from bending open, can the interruption 25 by a no further in detail shown connection 27 known per se are closed.

Two adjacent canister part stores 30 are coupled to one another} at the top part store 30 are filling and removal lines 17 and 18 connected. The partial memory 30 are able to absorb a higher internal pressure and are more resistant to mechanical destruction; must be emptied, however, for example by means of a suction pump or by pumping in a displacing medium.

9 shows, as a modification of FIGS. 1 to 8, a storage system in which a support element 33 (rope or rod) is anchored to a ceiling 32. At the free end of this support element 33, a support plate 3 ^ is attached. On this support plate, the supporting element 33, including partial storage units ZoBo 22, 26 or 30, are stacked. If these sub-memory flexible _s formed they can then be loaded by a ring 35th

To create a storage system, partial storage units of various sizes and shapes, e.g. height, according to the diameter or the length of the side. Partial storage units to be coupled to one another have either Identical, couplable coupling parts, or if two different coupling parts are available Intermediate couplings are used to compensate for this difference. Schematic examples of pressure fluid storage systems show from partial reservoirs of various types and sizes Figs. 10 to 12.

Fig. 13 and l4 show storage systems with horizontal or approximately horizontally arranged support elements 37 »^ 1 · A Arrangement in this position may depend on the space available. In Fig. 13, there are partial memories 36

lined up on a horizontally stretched rope 37. To increase its internal pressure, a device adapted to the cable 37 according to FIG. K can be used, which either loads the partial accumulator 36 from both sides or only presses it against an abutment from one side.

In FIG. 14, partial memories 38 have been arranged in their beard 39 Hook 40 is slidably suspended in a horizontal guide rail 4l and, for example, by pipe couplings 42 interconnected

Finally, FIG. 15 shows a storage system which is composed of several partial storage sequences 43, 44, 45. It storage systems according to FIGS. 1, 5 and 8 to 12 can be used for this, which are grouped next to one another and below a common protective roof 46 are provided. If the sequences 43, 44, 45 are intended for different media, each one has Sequence 43, 44, 45 a different filling and removal line, However, if the storage system is only intended for one type of pressure medium, then the sequences 43, 44, 45 connected to one another by couplings 47 and connected to common filling and removal lines 48 and 49.

also again, as already indicated in Figo 1, pillow or can be formed like a bubble. In Fig. 16 different from this, several of the cushions according to FIG. 1 are in one Bellows combined with three folds. The partial storage 57 each have the same lower and upper connecting ring 59 · The lower connecting ring 59 of the tmtersten Partial storage 57 is releasably sealingly connected to the flange 55 by means known per se} the upper connecting ring 59 of the lowermost partial storage unit 57 is connected to the lower connecting ring 59 of the sub-storage unit following upwards 57 also releasable, sealing, with known equipment tied together. The upper connecting ring 59 of the upper Teilspeicaers 57 is in turn sealing at the lower outlet of a bellows 60 in the same way as before set. The upper outlet of the bellows is between the flange 56 and one that rests on and closes off the latter Cover 6l clamped in a sealing manner.

Each "sub-memory 57" is from cell to cell Guide column 53 is designed to be open.

The partial storage units 57 come via the guide column 53 whose perforations 5 ^ under internal pressure, then the Bellows 60 more or less compressed (Fig. L6, right). If the partial memory 57 is depressurized, then the Bellows 60 pulled apart (Fig. 16, left).

The partial storage 57 are designed to be flexible so that they are depressurized become - fold up (Fig. 16, left).

The partial memories can each be changed as an individual element in the sense of the partial memory 30 of FIG. but be stiff. These partial memories can of course also be used like the flexible partial memories in FIG. three to form a material unit and - as indicated there - by connecting rings 59 with each other, with the Bellows 60 and the flange 55 be connected. The bellows 60 serves to seal the gas space in the case of different Quantities of the partial storage, since these are also designed to be open here with respect to the guide column 53.

The guide column 53 of Fig. L6 can of course also in the sense 9 be designed as a hollow support element, at analogous arrangement of the partial memory as has just been explained.

The guide column 53, standing or hanging, can store any number of partial stores at the upper or lower end one of these common inlet and outlet members 62, 63 per se of a known type,

If the cover 6l becomes the uppermost flange 56 of the guide column 53 arranged so that it rests loosely on the flange 56 when the storage system is depressurized, then the upper outlet of the bellows 60 in a manner not shown here on the outer end face of the cover 6l and sealing e.g. be releasably attached. The cover 6l is then for Inside the guide column 53, for example, to be provided with a guide rod, which is there centrally and if necessary is also performed spherically. If the storage system receives internal pressure, then the cover 6l is raised when the bellows 60 has been completely pushed together by the partial stores. This makes a special use of the Memory space reached.

Storage systems of the type described above are advantageous, in particular, for storing suitable sewage gas when cleaning or moving liquids. Sewage gas falls in fluctuating amounts and with a maximum pressure of 0.01 to 0.05 atu and will also unevenly removed and reused, whereby the removal pressure may be higher than the pressure of the sewage gas produced.

Furthermore, a storage system can be placed in a medium that surrounds it and exerts pressure on it and forms protection be embedded, e.g. water, protective gas or the like.

The subdivision of a storage system into partial storage units, preferably of the same size with only a few differences in size, has the advantage that no more expensive systems from im
