Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Pumpvorrichtung für cryogene Fluide gemäss Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The present invention relates to a pump device for cryogenic fluids according to the preamble of claim 1.

An Pumpen von cryogenen Flüssigkeiten werden spezielle Anforderungen gestellt. Ein Problem dieser Pumpen ist, dass beim Absinken und Ansteigen des Druckes unerwünschte Aenderungen im Aggregatszustand eintreten, wodurch der Wirkungsgrad der Pumpen verringert wird.Pumps of cryogenic liquids have special requirements posed. One problem with these pumps is that when Falling and increasing pressure undesirable changes in the Aggregate state occur, reducing the efficiency of the pumps is reduced.

Aus CH-A-615'982 ist eine Pumpvorrichtung bekannt, die dieses Problem löst, indem das Fluid durch Vorverdichtung auf einen Druck über den Dampfdruck angehoben wird, bevor es in die Hochdruckkammer gepumpt wird. Diese Pumpvorrichtung weist jedoch ein aufwendiges Ventilsystem auf und ist deshalb teuer in der Herstellung.From CH-A-615'982 a pump device is known, this Solves the problem by pre-compressing the fluid onto one Pressure is raised above the vapor pressure before it enters the high pressure chamber is pumped. However, this pump device has a complex valve system and is therefore expensive in the Manufacturing.

Eine nach dem gleichen Prinzip arbeitende Pumpe ist aus CH-A-663'065 bekannt, die jedoch einfacher aufgebaut ist und kostengünstiger hergestellt werden kann. Diese Pumpvorrichtung, die in Figur 1 dargestellt ist, weist ebenfalls einen Hochdruck-und einen Vorverdichterteil auf, die jedoch durch eine Trennwand getrennt sind. Der Vorverdichterteil ist in einem wärmeisolierten Fluid- oder Zwischenbehälter 5 untergebracht. Der Hochdruck- und der Vorverdichterteil umfassen zwei voneinander getrennte Kolbenpumpen 1,2, die im Tandem angeordnet sind und die eine gemeinsame, die Trennwand 3 gleitend und abgedichtet (32) durchsetzende Kolbenstange 8 aufweisen. Der Vorverdichterteil weist einen Zylinder 10 auf, der saugseitig offen ist. Der Vorverdichterkolben 11 weist Durchlassöffnungen 17 auf, die während des Ladehubes oder Vorverdichtens durch eine Ventilplatte 12 geschlossen sind, während sie im Druckhub geöffnet sind.A pump operating on the same principle is from CH-A-663'065 is known, but is simpler and cheaper can be manufactured. This pumping device that is shown in Figure 1, also has a high pressure and a pre-compressor part, but through a partition are separated. The pre-compressor part is in a heat insulated Fluid or intermediate container 5 housed. Of the The high-pressure part and the pre-compressor part comprise two of each other separate piston pumps 1,2, which are arranged in tandem and the one common, the partition 3 sliding and sealed (32) penetrating piston rod 8. The pre-compressor part has a cylinder 10 which is open on the suction side. Of the Pre-compressor piston 11 has passage openings 17 which during the loading stroke or pre-compression through a valve plate 12 are closed while they are open in the pressure stroke are.

Die Trennwand 3 wird von Ansaugöffnungen 33 durchsetzt, die die Vorverdichterkammer 16 mit der Hochdruckkammer 26 verbinden. Im Druckhub werden die Ansaugöffnungen 33 durch eine im Hochdruckteil angeordnete Ventilplatte 34 verschlossen und im Ladehub geöffnet.The partition 3 is penetrated by suction openings 33, which Connect the pre-compression chamber 16 to the high pressure chamber 26. in the The suction openings 33 are lifted by one in the high pressure part arranged valve plate 34 closed and in the loading stroke open.

Diese Pumpe weist jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass sie für Drücke über 400 bar nicht mehr geeignet ist. Die Dichtungen 32, die den Uebergang der Kolbenstange 8 vom Niederdruckbereich der Vorverdichterkammer in den Hochdruckbereich abdichten, sind bei höheren Drücken einem zu hohen Verschleiss ausgesetzt und führen so schnell zu Leckagen. Dadurch wird einerseits der Wirkungsgrad der Pumpe verringert. Andererseits müssen die Dichtungen öfters ausgewechselt werden, was zu kürzeren Betriebszeiten der Pumpe führt.However, this pump has the disadvantage that it can handle pressures above 400 bar is no longer suitable. The seals 32 that the transition of the piston rod 8 from the low pressure area of the Sealing the pre-compressor chamber in the high pressure area are at exposed to higher pressures and excessive wear lead to leaks so quickly. On the one hand, the Pump efficiency reduced. On the other hand, they have to Seals are replaced more often, resulting in shorter ones Operating times of the pump.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Pumpvorrichtung zu schaffen, die auch für höhere Drücke einsetzbar ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a pump device create that can also be used for higher pressures.

In der erfindungsgemässen Pumpvorrichtung sind Hochdruck- und Niederdruckteil jedoch stärker voneinander getrennt und lediglich durch Ansaugöffnungen oder Ansaugkanäle miteinander verbunden. Durch die zwei getrennten Kolbenstangen entfällt die Dichtung im Uebergang vom Niederdruck- in den Hochdruckbereich, so dass beim Arbeiten mit höheren Drücken die Eigenschaften einer derartigen Dichtung nicht mehr berücksichtigt werden müssen. Da die Kolbenstangen synchron angetrieben werden, ist ein einwandfreies Funktionieren der Pumpvorrichtung trotzdem gewährleistet.The pump device according to the invention essentially has same construction as the pump device known from CH-A-663'065 and works on the same principle. In the inventive Pump device are high pressure and low pressure part however more separated from each other and only by Intake openings or intake ducts connected to one another. By the two separate piston rods eliminate the seal in the Transition from low pressure to high pressure area, so that the properties of a when working at higher pressures such seal no longer need to be considered. There the piston rods are driven synchronously, is a flawless Functioning of the pumping device nevertheless guaranteed.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Bewegungen der Kolbenstangen mechanisch synchronisiert. Dabei ist in einer Variante die Kolbenstange des Vorverdichterteils vollständig innerhalb eines Fluidbehälters angeordnet, wobei sie mittels einer Verbindungsstange, die ebenfalls im Fluidbehälter verläuft, mit der Hochdruckkolbenstange verbunden ist. Die Verbindung befindet sich ebenfalls vollständig im Niederdruckbereich, so dass an die Dichtungen keine so hohen Anforderungen gestellt werden müssen.
In einer anderen Variante ragt die Niederdruckkolbenstange aus dem Fluidbehälter heraus und die mechanische Verbindung erfolgt ausserhalb des Fluidbehälters mittels parallel zu den Kolbenachsen versetzten Antriebsstangen. Die Niederdruckkolbenstange ist im Uebergang Fluidbehälter/Umgebung wiederum mit einer Niederdruckdichtung versehen. Dieser Aufbau weist spezielle Vorteile auf: Die Niederdruckdichtung ist leicht zugänglich. Deshalb kann sie auf einfache Weise ausgewechselt werden. Zudem ist sie einstellbar, indem sie mittels mechanischer Kraftübertragung, beispielsweise durch eine verstellbare Manschette, unterschiedlich stark zusammengepresst wird.

In one variant, the piston rod of the precompressor part is arranged entirely within a fluid container, it being connected to the high-pressure piston rod by means of a connecting rod, which likewise runs in the fluid container. The connection is also completely in the low pressure range, so that the seals do not have to be so demanding.
In another variant, the low-pressure piston rod protrudes from the fluid container and the mechanical connection takes place outside the fluid container by means of drive rods offset parallel to the piston axes. The low-pressure piston rod is in turn provided with a low-pressure seal in the fluid container / environment transition. This structure has special advantages: the low pressure seal is easily accessible. Therefore, it can be replaced easily. In addition, it can be adjusted by compressing it to different degrees by means of mechanical force transmission, for example by means of an adjustable sleeve.
