The present specification describes and claims an arrangement for filling a vessel which is to be put under high pressure, with freely flowing solids from a storage vessel which is under normal pressure. The arrangement comprises a supply line extending between the storage vessel and the pressure vessel with a pressure sealing valve which can be tightly closed to counter the working pressure in the pressure vessel, and a shut-off valve suitable for sealing the storage vessel, arranged one behind the other in the supply line. The part of the supply line within the pressure vessel has at least one aperture in its wall and extends within a tube which also has an aperture or apertures, the tube and the supply line being so arranged that relative rotational movement there between opens and closes the aperture in the supply line. Thus, when the pressure vessel is full, the solids block off the supply line which is also full. The tube can then be rotated to open the aperture to allow the supply line to empty into the pressure vessel, the shut-off valve being closed at the same time. Subsequently the pressure sealing valve can be closed and the pressure vessel pressurized. |
