- the pump (1) for feeding the tank of the storage container is triggered automatically or by a user.
- the pump is, for example, powered by an electric power circuit (101) controlled by a control device (1000).
- the electrical power circuit (101) controls, for example, a motor of the pump (1).

- sensors C1, C2
- a plurality of oil presence sensors are, for example, disposed in the tank of the container, at different heights, to provide signals representative of the oil height in the tank.
- These presence sensors are, for example, either in a state representative of immersion in liquid or frozen oil, or in a state representative of a non-submerged position.
- bimetallic sensors are used, the presence of oil between the two blades making an electrical connection between the two blades, indicating the presence of oil.
- the sensor is, for example, equivalent to an open switch if the sensor is not immersed.
- a pair (LC1, LC2) of electrical wires connects, for example, each sensor (C1, C2) with the control device (1000) which performs, without limitation, a resistivity test at the terminals of the bimetallic sensors.
- the electrical wires (LC1, LC2) connecting the sensors arranged in the tank or around the tank follow, for example, the conduit (41) for supplying oil to the interior (30) of the building and then are connected to the control device (1000).
- one or more temperature sensors are also arranged in the tank or around the tank.
- the oil presence sensors are arranged at determined heights to control corresponding determined levels of the oil in the tank, to produce, for example, signals representative of the oil levels reached or not.
- a presence sensor disposed at a given height is for example controlled to determine if the oil has reached the height of the sensor. If the oil level is below the height of this sensor, the sensor controlled by the control device (1000) returns a signal representative of a non-immersed state. The control device (1000) then determines, by its processing means, that at least the storage space in the tank, above the sensor, is available to store additional oil.
- the control device (1000) determines, by its processing means, that the determined level of the sensor is reached or exceeded by the oil level in the tank.
- the control device (1000) can then trigger a determined alarm representative of the oil level in the tank. Without limitation, this alarm triggers the planning of a drain, for example, if the storage margin is low but allows, for example, normal operation for a few days.
- Another sensor makes it possible, for example, to determine that the oil has reached the maximum level of storage in the tank, that is to say that the storage tank is full and that the emptying must be carried out urgently, before continuing to fill the tank.
- Another sensor is for example representative of a low or intermediate oil level.
- the oil presence sensors are, for example, arranged at different heights, to detect the levels, reached by the oil, used by the control circuit processing means.
- the presence sensors are, for example, arranged at regular intervals to produce signals representative of the quantified level of oil in the tank where the sensors are mostly at low intervals at sensitive heights, such as oil levels near the maximum level in the tank.
- a bimetallic sensor which is either in an on state or in an open state, may be tested by the control device (1000) or a portable continuity tester.
- the control device (1000) or a portable continuity tester may be tested in case of power failure the oil level in the tank can be tested in a simple way, even if the tank is not accessible by the user.
- a bypass circuit (11, 12, 13) of the automatic pump (1) is advantageously provided in the event of a power failure or in the event of failure of the automatic pump, as shown in FIG. bypass system comprises, for example, a pump (11) manual, parallel to the pump (1) automatic, for injecting the oil through the conduit (41) supply in the buried tank.
- the buried tank is, in fact, disposed at a level below the level of the pump and the pumping force is therefore small.
- Switching valves (12) arranged upstream and downstream of the electric pump make it possible, for example, to deflect the flow of oil through branch lines (13).
- the deflected oil flow is, for example, sucked to the pump (11) manually, so that the oil is expelled by the pump (11) manual in the conduit (41) for feeding the tank.
- These two switching valves (12) are, for example, manual valves used in case of power failure or in case of failure of the pump.
- the opening or closing of the conduit (41) for feeding the tank is controlled by a discharge valve (14) to prevent the overflow of the tank.
- (14) is, for example, controlled in position, by a circuit
- a closing signal of the discharge valve is, for example, produced when a level sensor in a state representative of a level close to the overflow is detected.
- the discharge valve (14) is disposed on the container or in a specific housing, such as for example the hood (426) above the container, or inside the building. The filling is thus secured to prevent overflow. Closing the discharge valve (14) causes, for example, a blockage of the pump (1) which then stops automatically.
- the discharge valve (14) is controlled by a hydraulic or mechanical control device, actuated by the operator, to prevent or allow the filling of the tank.
- the vessel has a cylindrical shape and is disposed with its horizontal axis, flat on a material (8) insulating solid.
- the solid insulating material (8) is, for example, expanded polystyrene, also called EPS, with a mechanically resistant internal structure.
- the insulating solid material (8) surrounds, for example, the tank and has, for example, a determined minimum thickness.
- the support means comprise, for example, a filling material (9) for supporting the insulating material (8), the filling material (9) being, for example, ground or crushed and calibrated hard rock.
- the filling material (9) is, for example, similar to ballast.
- a technical constraint of a buried tank for storing food oil relates to its heating. Indeed the containers for cooking oil have low storage capacity.
- a tank of a container for cooking oil may have a capacity of between 500 and 3000 liters.
- the capacity of a food oil container implies that when the tank is buried, the wall external of the tank has a large area relative to the volume to be heated.
- the larger the volume of the tank the greater the ratio between the volume and the surface of the wall of the tank. That is, the larger the volume, the more negligible the heat loss through the outer wall of the vessel.
- the loss capacity through the outer wall of the tank is important, compared to the volume to be heated. This is why means (8) of thermal insulation are arranged around the tank.
- Another constraint concerning the buried tanks relates to the prevention of leakage of liquid product escaping from the tank, into the ground.
- a double wall (425, 4251) surrounds the outer wall of the tank.
- drain lines (91) are, for example, made below the housing volume of the tank. Drainage lines (91), for example, carry runoff water to a runoff collection well.
- a duct (521) is for example made, above the tank, to access the tank.
- An access above the tank is advantageously made to access, for example, an opening in the top of the tank communicating with the interior of the tank.
- the opening is, for example, sealed by a cover (423) or by the cover (426) secured to the elements arranged in the vessel.
- Access to the interior of the tank allows the cleaning of the tank, the positioning of temperature sensors or the presence of oil or, without limitation, the positioning in the tank. bottom of the tank and parallel to the bottom, one or more resistors (600) or heating fingers immersed in the stored oil.
- the immersed heating fingers are, for example, heating resistive electrical elements or tubular elements in which circulates a heated fluid.
- the heating elements arranged in the bottom of the tank, in particular allow to heat all the stored oil, without creating a cold zone.
- the access duct (521) for example has metal partitions which are fixed to the tank to surround at least its supply connection (421), its drain connection (424) and the access opening to the tank. inside the tank. Without limitation, the elements disposed on the top of the tank, accessible through the access duct, are protected by the cover (426) protection.
- the protective cover includes, but is not limited to, slots for passage of oil or heated fluid flow conduits or for communication link passage.
- a sensor (C1) for detecting the oil level is, for example, disposed in the tank and communicates via a line (LC1) communicating with the control device (1000).
- a power circuit (7) supplies, for example, the heating resistor (s) (600) arranged in the bottom of the tank in order to heat the oil before it is discharged, as described in patent EP 1 180 492.
- the access duct, at the vertical of the tank includes the discharge valve (14) fixed on the top of the tank.
- the storage installation comprises one or more heating resistors (600) arranged in the bottom of the tank and fed by a circuit (7) for power supply of the resistors.
- This circuit (7) power supply of the resistors is, for example, controlled by the device (1000) control.
- the control device (1000) is, for example, connected by an electrical connection (LC2) to a presence sensor (C2) disposed in the tank at a determined height corresponding to the minimum oil level for which the or the resistors (600) arranged in the bottom, are covered with oil.
- the detection, by the control device (1000), of the covering of this presence sensor (C2) then makes it possible to trigger the heating of the stored oil, for its evacuation, as described in patent EP 1 180492.
- the tank comprises means for heating the outer wall of the tank.
- the cylindrical container comprises, for example, a double wall (425, 4251) forming a volume (V1) peripheral to the tank, in which circulates a heated fluid.
- a second partition (4251) is disposed around the partition (425) of the vessel. Supporting elements and sealing elements connect, for example, the heated partition (425) of the tank and the second partition (4251).
- the peripheral volume (V1) being surrounded by an insulating material (8), the heating energy of the heated fluid is mainly transmitted to the tank and to the oil contained in the tank.
- the heated fluid circulates, for example, under the action of a device (1001) for driving and heating, such as a boiler, communicating with the peripheral heating volume by two heating ducts connected to the tank.
- a device for driving and heating the circulating fluid close to the stored oil for example, is arranged in a building or in an underground space, for example in the vertical passage (521) of access to the top of the tank.
- the heated fluid is liquid or gaseous.
- the heating of the outside of the wall of a partition (425) of the tank makes it possible to heat the oil by a surface of determined width, the heating energy thus diffusing in the partition of the tank.
- the heated partitions of the tank are in particular made of a thermally conductive material, such as metal. This distribution of the heating energy makes it possible in particular to avoid having a point overheating, as on the resistors arranged in the tank. A point overheating on a resistor disposed in the tank can indeed be dangerous and possibly start an ignition of the oil.
- the control of the resistances arranged in the tank is notably realized to prevent the occurrence of a dangerous overheating point.
- a minimum level of oil is, in particular required, in the case of resistors arranged in the tank, to cover the resistances and avoid, for example, a beginning of ignition or carbonization of the resistors.
- the external heating of an outer wall of the tank of the container makes it possible to heat by a determined large area, avoiding any risk of fire or charring.
- the heating from the outside of the tank of the container does not require a minimum level of oil contained in the tank. Heating from the outside of the tank can therefore be activated, whatever the level of oil in the tank.
- the risk of starting a fire and the risk of deterioration of the heating elements are avoided.
- a drain of the tank can be performed regardless of the oil level, which avoids, for example, to keep a bottom of oil in the tank, without being able to evacuate, in the case where the container is no longer used for a fixed period. Oil stored too long has a tendency to deteriorate, becoming unsuitable for recycling or degrading in quality.
- the second partition (4251) disposed around the partition (425) delimiting the interior volume of the tank allows for a peripheral volume (V1) for heating around the tank and also allows for a safety partition preventing an oil leak in the soil.
