Abstract

The leakage-indicator warning device is particularly for use in subterranean oil storage tanks. A ribbon or tape is disrupted by physical or chemical action of the leakage fluid, thus operating the warning device through an electrical contact mechanism. The ribbon or tape is pref. protected from mechanical damage by means of a special housing.

Description

Leckwarnanzeigegerät insbesondere für Oeltankanlagen Beschreibung Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leckwarnanzeigegerät, bei dem durch chemische Zerstörung eines Bandes ein elektrischer Kontakt geschlossen wird.Leak warning device especially for oil tank systems Description The invention relates to a leak warning device in which by chemical destruction an electrical contact is made of a tape.

Es sind eine ganze Reihe von Leckwarnanzeigeräten, insbesondere für Deltankanlagen bekannt, bei denen ein Leck beispielsweise durch Zusammenbrechen eines künstlich aufrecht erhaltenen Vakuums. oder.auch durch Absinken einer Sperrflüssigkeit in einem Doppelmanteiraum- ang.èzeigt-wird.There are a number of leak detectors, especially for Delta tank systems known in which a leak, for example by collapsing an artificially maintained vacuum. or. also due to the sinking of a sealing liquid is shown in a double cladding room.

Der. vorliegenden Erfin.dung liegt die Idee zugrunde, dass um den Behälter an. verschiedenen Stellen ein Band gelegt wird, das -durch die evtl..austretende Leckflüssigkeit chemisch zerstört wird. Solange das Band noch uneerstört ist, hält es gegen die -Kraft einer Feder einen -elektrischen Kontakt in geoffnetem Zustand. Nach Zerstö.rung des Bandes wird der Kontakt durch die Federkraft geschlossen: und eine Warnanlage in Tätigkeit gesetzt.Of the. present invention is based on the idea that around the Container on. different places a tape is placed, the -by the possibly .. exiting The leakage fluid is chemically destroyed. As long as the tape is still undisturbed, it lasts there is an -electrical contact against the force of a spring in the open state. After the band has been destroyed, the contact is closed by the spring force: and activated a warning system.

Grundsätzlich, insbesondere aber- bei in der Erde verlegten Lagerbehältern besteht auch die Möglichkeit, das Band nicht um den Behälter zu legen, sondern in einer Führungsschiene in die Nähe des Behälters zu bringen.Basically, but especially for storage containers laid in the ground there is also the option of not placing the tape around the container, but in to bring a guide rail close to the container.

In den Abbildungen 1 und 2 sind diese Möglichkeiten beispielsweise veranschaulicht. Das chemisch zerstörbare Band 1 ist jeweils in einer FU-hrungsko-nstruktion 2 gelagert und dadurch zugleich gegen mechanische Beschädigung geschützt.In Figures 1 and 2 these possibilities are for example illustrated. The chemically destructible tape 1 is in each case in a guide structure 2 and at the same time protected against mechanical damage.

Am Ende des Bandes ist der eine Kontakt 3 eines elektrischen Schalters befestigt. Der Gegenkontakt 4 ist fest an der Führungskonstruktion 2 befestigt. Solange das Band 1 unzerstört ist, hält es die Kontakte 3 und 4 gegen die Kraft einer Feder: 5 ge,ö,ffnet. Nach Zerstörung des Bandes die schliesst die Federkraft/Kontakte und setzt eine Warnanlage 6 in Tätigkeit, die. hier nur symbolisch dargestellt ist.At the end of the tape is one contact 3 of an electrical switch attached. The mating contact 4 is firmly attached to the guide structure 2. As long as the band 1 is undamaged, it holds the contacts 3 and 4 against the force a spring: 5 ge, ö, opens. After the band is destroyed, the spring force / contacts close and sets a warning system 6 in action that. is shown here only symbolically.

Die chemische Zusammensetzung des Bandes 1 richtet sich naczh der Lagerflüssigkeit. Insbesondere bei Oellagerbehältern sind eine ganze Reihe von normalen Kunststoffen bekannt, die gegen Mineralöl ni.cht beständig sind.The chemical composition of the tape 1 depends on the Storage liquid. Especially with oil storage tanks are a whole A number of normal plastics are known that are not resistant to mineral oil.

Der Vorteil der Ausführung nach Abbi.ldung:-2 besteht insbesondere darin, dass eine nachträgliche Anbringung des Leckanzeigegerätes möglich ist.The advantage of the execution according to figure: -2 is in particular in that a subsequent attachment of the leak detector is possible.
