摘要:
A vapour recovery system for a fuel filling installation in which the submerged end (15') of the discharge pipe (15) from the variable speed positive displacement pump (10) is connected to a closed tube (16) which extends along the bottom of said underground tank (2) and has a porosity (20-22) such as to generate very small bubbles from the recovered air-vapour mixture, the vent pipe (25) of the underground tank (2) having a large cross-section and being provided with baffles (26) in its interior; particular embodiments are also provided.
摘要:
A system for effective vapour recovery in fuel filling installations (1,2) without seal members between the delivery gun (11) and the filler pipe (3) of the vehicle to be refuelled, comprising control means (15) which consist in a pulse converter (22) which is fed at its input by the electrical pulses of frequency proportional to the variable volumetric delivery rate, to give at its output a corresponding series of electrical pulses having the same said frequency but of constant but adjustable set duration, which are fed to the input of an operational unit which at its output provides their mean value indicative of the volumetric rate of delivery, this being fed as first input signal to a comparator together with a second analog signal indicative of the speed of rotation of a positive displacement pump drive motor (17) and hence indicative of the volumetric flow rate of the draw-in vapour, the output of said comparator being fed to the control unit of said motor to maintain the motor speed constant when said two input signals to the comparator are of equal value and to increase or reduce said speed when said first signal is respectively greater or less than said second signal.
