Abstract

The invention relates to a supply system for rotary engines and turbines that applies pressurised fuel and oxidising agent a) to the rotary engines with two interconnected cylindrical chambers, inside of which rotate cylindrical rotors with peripheral elliptical lobes or teeth, the outermost peripheral area of which has a curvature equal to the casing, which mesh interconnected with the contiguous rotors, synchronously actuated by gears, or b) to a cylindrical or frustoconical chamber in which a rotor rotates in the periphery of which radial blades or fins are provided. The rotors run fitted between 0.2 and 3 mm along the internal wall of the chambers, with chambers of variable volume created between rotors and casings in which the expansion of the gases produced in the combustion chamber is applied, where fuel and oxidising agent are injected and then a spark plug produces its explosion, combustion and expansion, causing the rotor to rotate.

Description

FEEDING SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ROTARY ENGINES AND TURBINES FIELD OF THE INVENTION
In thermal engines that use fossil fuels, biofuels, hydrogen, mixed, etc. and as oxidizer air and/or oxygen. Also useful in hybrid vehicles due to its simplicity, low cost, weight and size.
STATE OF THE ART.- It is documented that up to 1910 more than 2000 rotary engines had been patented, only the Wankel engine having been partially successful, which Despite its advantages as a rotative, it presents design, manufacturing, and maintenance difficulties, high cost, high oil consumption, and is affected by wear, causing a loss of tightness over time, requires very strict or delicate fuel application synchronization, and rotors and eccentric rotating elements generate vibrations or oscillations. Its turning speed is limited to about 9000 rpm. Subsequently they have been studied mainly by Audi, Curtis Wright, Daimler-Benz, Ford, General Engines, John Deere, Mazda, NSU, Nissan and Rotary Power International among others.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION.
Objective of the invention.
Use engines that are useful in all types of vehicles, marine, rail, highway, aviation and in general throughout the industry, due to their high speed, light weight, simplicity and low cost.
No need to carry out compression inside, making only one turn per cycle in the rotaries.
By using a small separation between the casing and the rotors and high or medium rpm, there is no friction or obvious leaks, and these turbine-engines can be considered as a hybrid between the reciprocating engine and the gas turbine, providing and improving the most of the advantages of both: Simplicity, few elements, economy, resistance, reliability, high power/weight ratio, great power, high performance, high thermodynamic efficiency (consumption/weight ratio), very high revolutions (because there is no friction between rotors and casings), good use of fuel, allows the recovery of energy from exhaust gases, without overlap between intake and exhaust (there is no intake) easy cooling, with better, more perfect combustion, with low emissions , which uses little oil in lubrication as it does not have friction, which is very ecological, whose gases do not contaminate or pollution is reduced, which considerably reduces vibrations, noise, maintenance and its duration, which due to its simplicity admits large and very small dimensions. By using no valves, vanes, cams, reciprocating elements, or uncompensated eccentric rotating elements, there are no oscillations, vibrations, knocking, or noise, allowing very high rpm and the use of ceramic materials, steels, and magnesium and aluminum alloys with hard anodized. Others typical of rotary engines and turbines are added. The pairs of rotors (equal and symmetrical with respect to their axis) rotating in the opposite direction counteract the gyroscopic effects, avoiding gyroscopic precession and vibrations. Even in the Wankel engine the rotors and other parts rotate eccentrically. It allows promoting ecological fuels and the conversion of fossil fuels. All of the above results in turn in efficiencies or high performance not typical in other engines, lower price and greater competitiveness.
The problem that arises is energetic, it is not possible to continue with the current consumption of fossil fuels, having to reduce their pollution. Attached table with energy values of the different fuels and most imnozzleant batteries.

The use of highly efficient rotary engines and turbines with fossil fuels that are low in C02 emissions and even oil extinction is proposed. Complemented with GREEN, GRAY and BLUE H2, synthetic fuels, biofuels, etc. ZERO or Low C02 emissions. And the use of 02 alone or diluted with an inert gas, argon, etc. even with air. Currently this system would be the best solution and it is the one that is proposed with these engines.
In case of using H2, stainless steel must be used to avoid its deterioration. Some special aluminum is also useful.
Natural gas GNV for vehicles is more friendly to the environment, it produces approximately half the C02 of gasoline, it is worth half, and it lasts for 55 years, which can be expanded with new deposits. Approximately 90% is methane. From it, hydrogen can be obtained and the resulting C02 can be hydrogenated to obtain methane, and other fuels. LPG and CNG can also be used.
As a consequence, biofuels must be promoted. Advanced renewable sources that reduce C02 emissions by 90% and in some cases eliminate more than they produce, have a negative footprint, since they produce less C02 than what the plants absorb during photosynthesis. Synthetics such as renewable H2 reduce emissions by 100% compared to current gasoline.
It is difficult to find engines that match or better the 25 or so features or qualities of the engines of the invention. Which would allow solving all types of present and future energy and environmental problems.
Problems to solve.
Current engines need to produce air compression, they are noisy, they produce vibrations and friction, they have many losses, they are heavy, they use a lot of parts and maintenance, they produce a lot of pollution and as a consequence they are not very ecological. Rotaries like the Wankel are complicated, have many parts, are highly affected by wear, consume a lot of oil, pollute, produce vibrations, etc.
The feeding system for internal combustion rotary engines and turbines of the invention consists of applying air or oxygen from bottles or obtained compressed independently or externally a) to the rotary engines of two interconnected cylindrical chambers, inside which rotate some cylindrical rotors with lobes or peripheral teeth: elliptical, semi-elliptical, circular, semicircular, or else elliptical, semi-elliptic, circular or semicircular lobes whose outermost peripheral zone has a curvature equal to that of the casing, which mesh or tongue and groove interrelated with the rotors , or with the lobes or teeth of the contiguous rotors or with cavities arranged around them, but maintaining a separation between them and their casings of between 0.2 and 3mm. approximately, driven synchronized by means of gears, toothed belts or chains, located in a contiguous and independent gearbox external to the cylindrical chambers. Generating between the rotors and the casing some chambers of variable volume in which liquid fuel or compressed gas and an oxidizer, oxygen or compressed air from bottles or compressed in situ are injected, said fluids are injected into said chambers when starting or creates its formation or in a contiguous external combustion chamber, then the spark plug of an ignition system produces its explosion and combustion and as a consequence the expansion, increasing the size of the chamber, and producing the rotation of the rotor until the front area of the tooth or lobe pushes and expels the trapped gases through a nozzle, then applying a new injection of fuel and oxidizer, and a new cycle is produced, this is carried out in the chambers sequentially, the beginning of the movement b) at a cylindrical or frustoconical chamber in which a rotor rotates on the periphery of which carries blades or radial fins, which run tight between 0.2 and 3 mm, but without contact with the internal wall of the chamber, generating chambers between the rotors and the casing. variable volume in which the expansion of the gases produced is applied in an external combustion chamber where the liquid fuel or compressed gas and an oxidizer, oxygen or compressed air from bottles or compressed in situ are injected, then the spark plug an ignition system produces its explosion and combustion and as a consequence the expansion, producing the rotation of the rotor, in all cases the start of the movement is carried out with an electric motor and a battery.
The fuel and the oxidizer are applied in a fluid way at the typical combustion pressure which starts with the sparkofaspark plug, producing the explosion, combustion and expansion, pressing against the teeth, blades or fins of the entire rotor or of a section of it, which it displaces until the gases exit through a nozzle. The power is applied continuously maintaining the combustion and the rotation of the rotor.
Exhaust gases can be fed back or applied to additional stages using the same shafts. With tapered cylindrical roller bearings, axial or mixed bearings, with staggered supnozzle shafts and seal holders, gaskets or seals between the joints of the casing and the casing with the shaft. The shaft drives an electric generator, fan or pump. The initiation of the movement is carried out with an electric engine and a battery or with compressed air. It can also be performed using the pressure of the applied fluids.
With tapered cylindrical roller bearings, axial or mixed bearings, with staggered supnozzle shafts and seals between the joints of the casings and between these and the shafts. Variable volume chambers are generated between the rotors and the casing of the rotary engines into which the liquid fuel or compressed gas and an oxidizer, oxygen or compressed air from bottles or compressed in situ are injected. Said fluids are injected into said chambers, when their formation begins or is created, or in an external contiguous combustion chamber. Next, the spark plug of an ignition system produces its explosion and combustion and as a consequence the expansion, increasing the size of the chamber, and producing the rotation of the rotor until the front area of the tooth or lobe pushes and expels the trapped gases through a nozzle then applying a new injection of fuel and oxidizer, its explosion, combustion and expansion and the cycle and constant rotating movement is repeated. This is done on the cameras sequentially. The start of the movement is carried out with an electric engine and a battery.
The teeth or lobes of the rotors mesh in cavities of the adjacent rotors whose advancing and/or receding faces have a concave or convex curvature, that of the teeth of a conventional gear, the curvature inverted to that of the teeth of said conventional gears, hook or claw, dovetail corner or circle segment shape. On their lateral periphery, the rotors can carry some protruding ribs made of softer material than that of the rotors or some joints inserted in grooves that allow, without touching, to adjust as much as possible to the internal surface of the casings.
Other attached stages can be added so that the exhaust gases from the first are applied to the second and the exhaust gases from the second are applied to the third, etc. and so on up to the outlet nozzle of the assembly.
In the turbine, the expansion of the gases is applied to approximately one third of the blades of each of the rotors, before leaving the chamber. A conduit may be placed between every two nozzles. In a variant, the gases are applied to all the radially and helically arranged blades. Being able to have the chamber or rotating ducts, and helical or centrifugal rotors and in one piece. In this case, the gases pass through it throughout the entire rotor. Turbines use constant power and combustion, similar to that of gas turbines, but in this case instead of the flow acting axially on the turbine blades, it is applied tangentially and rotatingly on the rotors.
The control of the administration of the fuel and the oxidizer can be done by means of a processor, microprocessor or the ECU and some solenoid valves, controlled mechanically by the rotation of the engine or unloaded continuously. The application can be done with injectors or nozzles also continuously.
The pressure applied to the chambers from cylinders or compressors is controlled with regulating solenoid valves like the pressure reducers in the cylinders.
Rotors with more than four teeth or lobes do not need additional gears, but in that case diesel oil must be used.
Conventional, electronic, laser and mainly glow plug ignitions are used, in or next to the combustion chamber. In turbines and rotary engines, when using external and common combustion chambers for both cylinders, constant combustion can be produced. The fuel and oxidizer can be applied continuously to the internal or external combustion chamber.
The injectors and spark plugs can be placed on the side of the chambers opposite the gears.
Vehicles, in addition to using interchangeable or refillable bottles, cylinders or tanks, of pressurized 02 or liquid 02, alone or diluted with argon and even with air, as oxidizer and as fuels: hydrocarbons and preferably: synthetic fuels, biofuels or hydrogen. 02 can be obtained from the air using an oxygen generator or directly using compressed air on site. Initially, and until the engines are modified, a small amount of oxygen could be added to the intake air, and the possibility of simultaneously applying natural gas, CNG, GNV or LNG could be considered.
For the chambers and rotors, materials with a low coefficient of expansion, invar, etc., steels (stainless, especially when H2 is used, and magnesium or aluminum alloys with small amounts of copper, silicon, magnesium and/or zinc to which hard anodizing of oxide of aluminum, approximately 50 to 150 microns, these anodized products produce one half integrated with the aluminum material and the other half as an external layer, providing, in addition to its low weight, ease of manufacturing and machining, great hardness, great resistance to abrasion and valid up to temperatures of 2000 K. Advanced ceramic materials of high temperature, toughness and hardness can be used such as: Alumina (A203), Zirconia, (Zr2), Silicon Carbide (SiC), Aluminum Titanate (Al2TiO5), Silicon Nitride , (Si3N4), etc. alloys of these with metals and coatings. Aluminum, Silicon and even Zirconium will be used due to their abundance and low cost. Hard anodized or ceramic coatings can be reinforced or thicker in higher temperature areas.
The high thermal insulation of the materials allows an adiabatic operation, without great heat transfer, which makes better use of the heat produced and does not require refrigeration or reduces it, achieving higher performance.
Liquid cooling can be used, or air cooling by adding some fins. If it is air, the fans can be attached to the axis of the rotors.
The separation between the rotors and their casings can be set according to the materials used so that at the typical operating regime they adjust to values between 0.2 and 3 mm, depending on the dimensions of the engine, using materials with different coefficients of expansion in rotors and their casings and applying more cooling in certain hot spots or areas. The minimum separation must be achieved at high rpm
The bearings can be placed in an area as far away from the explosion or combustion zones of the chambers, giving a bulge or projection towards the outside of said chambers, and seals or sealing gaskets must be applied.
The gas exhaust nozzles are located on the sides of the cylindrical chambers or peripherally between them.
The energy of the exhaust gases can be recovered with turbines or turbochargers. In the event that the gases consist only or mostly of C02, it can be compressed and stored in bottles for storage or hydrogenation and transformation into synthetic fuel. However, C02 is produced normally in the plant and animal world. Therefore, it is not necessary to discard it in its entirety. This is applicable to all the elements of nature, water, minerals, salts, etc. In the case of natural gas, as the pronozzleion of hydrogen is higher, much less C02 is produced. Gases from this pair of chambers can be discharged into one or more additional chamber pairs back-to-back in series using the same shafts. Being the posterior chambers of greater volume or capacity than the preceding ones. The first discharges the gases in the second, the second in the third and so on until it is discharged outside.
In the case of using bottled oxygen under pressure, triple the weight of gasoline must be transport, 2.5 times that of diesel oil and the same amount of natural gas. If we transport 20 kg of natural gas we would have to transport another 20 of oxygen. Except if we carry an oxygen generator.
Types of natural gas used CNG, NGV, LNG (predominantly methane) and LPG as liquefied gas obtained from petroleum (based on propane and butane).
