Abstract

Abstract Translated from English Procédé de test et de traitement de combustible distillé stocké pendant de longues périodes de temps en vue de l'utiliser pour la production d'énergie en cas d'urgence et analogues. Le procédé consiste à mesurer le pourcentage de transmittance d'un échantillon de combustible avec des ultraviolets avant et après le chauffage du combustible distillé, à une température prédéterminée en dessous du point d'ébullition, pendant un laps de temps suffisant à accélérer la polymérisation, l'échantillon atteignant la température prédéterminée en l'espace de cinq minutes environ; on compare ensuite les mesures du pourcentage de transmittance pour déterminer si le combustible est indiqué pour un stockage continu avec ou sans l'addition ultérieure d'inhibiteurs de polymérisation et/ou de dépolymérisateurs. A method of testing and treating distillate fuel stored for long periods of time for use in emergency power generation and the like. The method consists in measuring the percentage of transmittance of a fuel sample with ultraviolet light before and after heating the distillate fuel, at a predetermined temperature below the boiling point, for a period of time sufficient to accelerate the polymerization, the sample reaching the predetermined temperature in about five minutes; the percent transmittance measurements are then compared to determine whether the fuel is suitable for continuous storage with or without the subsequent addition of polymerization inhibitors and / or depolymerizers.
