FILLING STATION FOR CRYOGENIC REFRIGERANT |
| 摘要 |
A filling station for filling a liquid cryogenic refrigerant from a supply tank to a receiver tank, the filling station comprising a flash tank between the supply tank and the receiver tank, adapted to de-pressurize the refrigerant that is transferred from the flash tank to the receiver tank, resulting in formation of a liquid cryogenic refrigerant phase and a vapour cryogenic refrigerant phase within the flash tank, and to phase separate the liquid and vapour cryogenic refrigerant phase, and a pump between the flash tank and the receiver tank, adapted for pumping the refrigerant out of the flash tank to the receiver tank, wherein the flash tank has a size and the pump has an outflow of refrigerant such that the ratio between the size of the flash tank and the outflow of refrigerant out of the pump is equal to or more than 1. |

1. A filling station adapted for filling a liquid cryogenic refrigerant from a supply tank to a receiver tank, the filling station comprising
a flash tank positioned between the supply tank and the receiver tank, this flash tank being adapted to
de-pressurize the liquid cryogenic refrigerant that is transferred from the supply tank to the flash tank, resulting in the formation of a liquid cryogenic refrigerant phase and a vapour cryogenic refrigerant phase within the flash tank, and to phase separate the liquid and the vapour cryogenic refrigerant phase, and a pump positioned between the flash tank and the receiver tank, the pump being adapted for pumping the liquid cryogenic refrigerant out of the flash tank to the receiver tank when being in operation,wherein the flash tank has a size and the pump has an outflow of liquid cryogenic refrigerant being such that the ratio between the size of the flash tank and the outflow of liquid cryogenic refrigerant out of the pump is equal to or more than 1, wherein the size of the flash tank is defined as the maximum mass of cryogenic refrigerant the flash tank can contain and the outflow of liquid cryogenic refrigerant out of the pump is measured in mass per minute. |
