The device comprises a connecting pipe (18) having an inlet (18A) capable to be connected to the feed and an outlet (18B) capable to be connected to the storage vat (10), as well as a retaining chamber (20) which branches off from the connecting pipe (18) and which is equipped with a sampling valve (24). The connecting pipe comprises a charging valve (22), located between the retaining chamber and the outlet of the connecting pipe. After the product originating from the feed has been conveyed to the retaining chamber (20), and a sample of the product mixture present in the retaining chamber (20) has been taken to ascertain information relative to the nature of this mixture, and if the ascertained information corresponds to expected information, a charging valve (22) is opened to have the outlet of the connecting pipe (18) communicate with the vat (10).
A connection device of a storage vat for liquid or gaseous product to a feed, comprising a connecting pipe having an inlet capable of being connected to the feed and an outlet capable of being connected to the vat, and a retaining chamber, which branches off from the connecting pipe and which is equipped with a sampling valve, wherein the connecting pipe comprises a charging valve located between the retaining chamber and the outlet of the connecting pipe, the device further comprising a control unit capable of generating an opening control signal of the charging valve on the basis of information relative to the nature of the collected product in the retaining chamber, wherein the inlet of the connecting pipe is equipped with a lock and the control unit is capable of controlling the unlocking of the lock to enable the connection of the feed with said inlet, on the basis of information relative to the nature of the product present in the feed.
A connection device of a storage vat for liquid or gaseous product to a feed, comprising a connecting pipe having an inlet capable of being connected to the feed and an outlet capable of being connected to the vat, and a retaining chamber, which branches off from the connecting pipe and which is equipped with a sampling valve, wherein the connecting pipe comprises a charging valve located between the retaining chamber and the outlet of the connecting pipe, the device further comprising a control unit capable of generating an opening control signal of the charging valve on the basis of information relative to the nature of the collected product in the retaining chamber, wherein the control unit is capable, while the charging valve is in the closed state, of successively emitting an opening control signal of the sampling valve, a closing control signal of the sampling valve, and an opening control signal of the charging valve, based on information relative to the nature of the product sampled in the retaining chamber.
A process for managing the connection of a storage vat for liquid or gaseous product to a feed, in which the inlet of a connecting pipe is connected to the feed whereof the outlet is connected to the storage vat,
A connection device of a storage vat for liquid or gaseous product to a feed, comprising a connecting pipe having an inlet capable of being connected to the feed and an outlet capable of being connected to the vat, and a retaining chamber, which branches off from the connecting pipe, which is connected to the connecting pipe by a branch off element, said element being capable of being activated to connect the retaining chamber to the connecting pipe, and which is equipped with a sampling valve, wherein the connecting pipe comprises a charging valve located between the retaining chamber and the outlet of the connecting pipe, the device further comprising a control unit capable of generating an opening control signal of the charging valve on the basis of information relative to the nature of the collected product in the retaining chamber and of controlling the activation of the branch off element while the charging valve is in the closed state.
