Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to various embodiments of systems and methods for reducing the production of harmful emissions in combustion engines. One method includes correlating combustion chamber temperature to acceleration of a power train component, such as a crankshaft. Once the relationship between acceleration/deceleration of the component and combustion temperature are known, an engine control module can be configured to adjust combustion parameters to reduce combustion temperature when acceleration data indicates peak combustion temperature is approaching a harmful level, such as a level conducive to the formation of undesirable oxides of nitrogen. Various embodiments of the methods and systems disclosed herein can employ injectors with integrated igniters providing efficient injection, ignition, and complete combustion of various types of fuels.

Technical field
Followingly openly relate in general to integrated fuel injector and igniter and the parts be associated for storing, spraying and light various fuel.
Background technique
Producing in the various forms of required alternative energy sources of such as electric power, hydrogen, fuel alcohol and methane, renewable resources is interrupted.Solar energy is the event occurring in daytime, and the ratio on daytime changes along with season and weather condition.In most of area, wind energy is interruption and size very easily changes.The water resources fallen is with changing season and being subject to the impact of the arid constantly expanded.In most of landmasses of the earth, living beings are seasonal variable and are subject to the impact of arid.All over the world, before being required, the large energy can carried by hydroelectric power station, wind power plant, living beings conversion and solar thermal collector is all wasted in default of the hands-on approach of store kinetic energy, fuel and/or electric power.
World population and the degree of the yielding capacity of oil is greater than to the requirement having risen to oil that needs of energy.Following productivity will decline, and the requirement of ever-increasing population and the ever-increasing dependence of energy-intensive products & services be will speed up.Continuation is promoted fossil loss speed by this.City suffers the impact of the smog caused by using fossil fuel.In order to on-fuel object, increase exponentially in the equipment that the utilization comprising the rock gas of the natural gas liquid of such as ethane, propane and butane has been made in the application of such as packaging, textile, carpet, coating and primarily of thermoplasticity and thermosetting polymer.
Coal has relatively low hydrogen-carbon ratio.Oil has higher hydrogen-carbon ratio, and rock gas has the highest hydrogen-carbon ratio of fossil hydrocarbon.Use oil as typical intermediary, the rate of burning of the fossil hydrocarbon in the whole world has exceeded the equal parts of 200,000,000 barrels of oil every day now.
The steady-state growth of Global Oil output is with the requirement of satisfied increase, but the speed that oil finds but cannot catch up with output.The maximum output of oil has occurred and Oil Generation productive rate all steady decreases of nearly all known deposit.After maximum production, global economy experience often kind of energy-intensive and the inflation (inflation) based on petroleum chemicals.Existing fossil fuel resource and utilize oil to provide fuel for the machine destroyed and contradiction between lubricating has caused the World War I, World War II and each war since then.Substitute almost each practical approuch that the fossil fuel being equal to 200,000,000 barrels of oil every day needs Renewable Energy Development to produce, distribute, store and utilize.
The atmospheric pollution of producing due to fossil fuel and burn and cause and water pollutions make each metropolitan area and fishing ground, farm and forest worsen now.Mercury and other the heavy metal poisoning of fishing ground and farm soil come from coal burning more and more.Comprising more powerful hurricane and tornado, the global climatologic change of heavy storm and the air increasing the greenhouse gases discharged with the burning by fossil fuel of fire loss event that causes due to the thunderbolt in forest and metropolitan area gathers closely related.The increase of the solar energy assembled along with atmospheric greenhouse gas, the larger effect that global atmosphere motor produces, comprise more evaporation of seawater, glacier and polar ice sheet thawing and cause the Extreme Weather Events subsequently of massive losses of improving SNR and natural resources.
Above-mentioned utilize pluralities of fuel select (comprise hydrogen, producer gas, fuel (such as methane, fuel alcohol) that hydrogen-carbon ratio is higher and together with or replace other the alternate fuel various of gasoline and diesel fuel) trial encountered a various difficult problem and cannot solve, and these attempt be expensive, produce insecure result and cause continually motor degenerate or damage, comprising:
(1) use larger unladen mass increase engine compression ratio and accordingly to more expensive, more firmly and the needs of heavier piston, connecting rod, bent axle, bearing, flywheel, engine body and supporting structure to produce for acceptable power and therefore for heavier bearing spring, vibration damper, starter, battery etc.
(2) needing more expensive valve, hardened valve seats and machine shop to install prevents valve wearing and tearing and seat from sinking.
(3) need supercharging to make up the fuel energy because unit volume reduces and the power loss that causes and drive performance and overcome compromise volumetric efficiency and the thermal efficiency.
(4) the multistage gaseous fuel pressure with superfine filtration and very little fuel mass change tolerance regulates, and comprises vapour tension and octane value and cetane number.
(5) the engine coolant heat exchanger for preventing gaseous fuel pressure regulator from freezing.
(6) expensive and the solenoid-operated fuel tank stop valve (TSOV) of heaviness and pressure relief valve (PRD) system.
(7) significantly larger flow measuring system.
(8) after the drippage conveying of the fuel at wasteness number of times and when producing torsion revolution.
(9) after the drippage conveying of the fuel of harmful number of times of such as exhaust stroke, thus reduce fuel economy and cause motor or vent systems to damage.
(10) because the motor that quick-fried and combustion knock causes in advance is degenerated or fault.
(11) owing to strictly controlling the fault of fuel viscosity, vapour tension, octane value or cetane number and velocity of combustion, the motor that causes suspends or damage.
(12) motor caused due to the burnouting of lubricating film on fuel clean, vaporization and cylinder wall and lip ring or rotor seal part is degenerated or fault.
(13) cannot prevent from forming nitrogen oxide in combustion process.
(14) particulate formed due to partial combustion cannot be prevented.
(15) pollution caused due to the aerosol formation of the oiling agent in upper cylinder region cannot be prevented.
(16) cannot prevent the friction overheated, subsequently of piston, cylinder wall and valve from increasing and degenerating.
(17) the destructive tempering in intake manifold and air cleaner parts cannot be overcome.
(18) the destructiveness burning in vent systems and/or blast cannot be overcome.
(19) the overheated of exhaust system component cannot be overcome.
(20) motor that cannot overcome fuel vapour lock and generation suspends or fault.
In addition, the fuel storage tank that low energy densities fuel requirement is special.For the storage tank of gasoline, propane, rock gas and hydrogen design is independently in the chemistry and physical property of the extensive change of satisfied often kind of fuel.Often kind of fuel type that vehicle may utilize all needs independent fuel tank.This Special oil tank approach selected for often kind of fuel takies sizable space, gain in weight, need extra spring and vibration damper ability, change center of gravity and thrust center and be very expensive.
In traditional approach, the alternate fuel measuring gasoline, methyl alcohol, ethanol, propane, ethane, butane, hydrogen or the methane such as entering motor is selected to be realized by one or more gaseous state Carburetor, throttle valve body, fuel injector or timing port fuel-injectors.The power loss of often kind of classical pathway maintenance changes because the vaporized fuel molecule expanded occupies the significant proportion of admission space.Therefore, along with air inlet enters minimizing, the fuel that can burn reduces and the power produced reduces.
Under standard temperature and pressure (STP), Gaseous Hydrogen occupies the volume of 2,800 times that are equivalent to liquid gasoline for supplying equal burning energy.Gaseous methane needs to supply equal burning energy relative to the volume of about 900 times of liquid gasoline.
Arrange the Gaseous Hydrogen of so large volume or methane stream through intake manifold vacuum, flow through suction valve and flow into the vacuum of the cylinder in air inlet circulation, and do like this enough air, to support perfect combustion, thus release and gasoline performance match, required heat---this is not yet by the great challenge fully met simultaneously.Power to a certain degree recovers to obtain compared with the motor of huge discharge by adopting.Another kind of approach needs expensive, heavier, more complicated and more insecure parts for much higher compression ratio and/or by carrying out supercharging to gas handling system.But these approach cause engine life to reduce and much higher original cost and/or maintenance cost, and the engine design except non-basic provides the sufficient structure construction sections for Rigidity and strength.
As everyone knows, for the motor of gasoline operational design is inefficiency.This be to a great extent due to gasoline and air be mixed to form the flow reduction conditions circulated in air inlet under enter the homogeneous mixture of firing chamber.The supply of this homogeneous is then compressed near top dead center (TDC) condition and carries out spark ignition.Homogeneous supply burning causes heat immediately from 4, and the combustion gas of 500 °F to 5,500 °F (2,482 DEG C to 3,037 DEG C) are delivered to the corresponding part of cylinder head, cylinder wall and piston or rotary engine.Protection lubricating film is burned or evaporate, thus pollutes effulent, and the wearing and tearing that cylinder and piston ring stand to lubricate due to shortage and cause.Homogeneous supply burning is also transported to colder combustor surface along with heat and forces energy loss, thus under making combustor surface maintain the relatively low temperature of 160 °F to 240 °F (71 DEG C to 115 DEG C) by liquid and/or air cooling system.
Hydrogen or methane is utilized to replace gasoline to cause expensive challenge to provide enough fuel storage thus to adapt to the typical a large amount of energy dissipation of petrol engine as homogeneous supply fuel.Replace this more clean burning and more replace the vaporized fuel of diesel fuel more difficult potentially.Diesel fuel is compared gasoline and is had larger unit volume energy value.The appearance of other difficulty is because the vaporized fuel of such as hydrogen, producer gas, methane, propane, butane and fuel alcohol (such as ethanol or methyl alcohol) lacks suitable cetane number and lights a fire in the air of Fast Compression unlike needed for efficient diesel engine operation.The protection lubricating film that diesel fuel injectors is designed by be provided by diesel oil operates.In addition, diesel fuel injectors is only cyclically by the fuel that volume is relatively very little, and this volume ratio carries the volume of the hydrogen needed for equal calorific value little by about 3,000 times (at standard temperature and pressure).
The most modern engine design is become to be used for minimum unladen mass and makes great efforts to be operated with greatly excessive oxygen equivalents ratio by the homogeneous supply mixture of air and fuel, thus reduces the formation of nitrogen oxide by peak limiting combustion temperature.In order to realize minimum weight in working order, utilize less cylinder and higher velocity of piston.Higher engine speed is reduced to required axle speed, advances for by the transmission of higher speed ratio and/or differential gearing.
Enter with the air that excessive oxygen equivalents is larger than action need, and head of combustion chamber has two or three suction valves and two or three outlet valves usually.This leaves very little space for direct cylinder fuel injectors or for spark plug in head zone.The higher valve of speed is complicated further and reduce the space for direct cylinder fuel injectors and spark plug that can obtain by the operation of overhead camshaft.Designer used the space that can obtain above nearly all piston for valve and valve operator and almost not the spark plug of light a fire for gasoline or for the diesel injector of compression ignition engine in stay and extrude space.
Therefore, the any pipeline larger compared with the cross section of gasoline motor spark plug or diesel motor fuel sparger carries the equal energy produced by the alternate fuel of such as hydrogen, methane, propane, butane, ethanol or methyl alcohol to be all extremely difficult, and these all alternate fuel all have compares gasoline or the lower unit volume calorific value of diesel fuel.The problem obtaining region for the most I of spark plug or diesel fuel injectors is by owing to worsening from heat to be delivered to larger heat load head and associated components three heads caused to larger the heat of six valves from firing chamber.The further deterioration of space and heat load problem is the larger heat because cam friction, valve spring and valve tappet under high speed operation produce in narrow head zone.
In several ways, piston engine has become change agent and in the whole industrial revolution, has provided basic transformation of energy.Today, use the compression-ignition, internal combustion piston engine of cetane specified diesel fuel to be used for that agricultural, mining industry, railway and ocean are heavy hauls and the instrument of fixing electric power system provides power for major part, and there is the new effort of less context engine of higher velocity of piston to improve the fuel efficiency of passenger and light truck vehicles.There is manufacturing and very major part in 900,000,000 population passengers that the fuel that utilizes octane specified is sustainable growth and light truck vehicles provides cost in power less compared with low compression internal combustion piston engine of spark ignition.
The level that octane in traditional internal-combustion engine and the application of cetane number hydrocarbon fuel produce pollutant effulent (such as unburned hydrocarbon, particulate, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) can not be accepted.
But traditional spark ignition comprises the low-yield ionization of the mixture of high voltage air and fuel.Carry out for the naturally aspirated engine of the spark plug operated for being equipped with the compression ratio of 12: 1 or less, size is traditional spark energy of about 0.05 to 0.15 joule is typical.The sufficient voltage for generation of this ionization must be increased by the higher external pressure in spark gap.The factor of high voltage is needed to comprise as the increase of light a fire rarer air fuel ratio that may need and wider spark gap, effective compression ratio, supercharging and air enter the minimizing of the amount of resistance in firing chamber.Traditional spark ignition system cannot provide sufficient voltage to produce reliably to provide the spark ignition in motor (such as having the diesel engine of the compression ratio of 16: 1 to 22: 1) and sufficient voltage usually cannot be provided to carry out the un-throttled motor of supercharging for the object produced in order to increasing power and improve fuel economy.
The dielectric strength of the voltage of abundance the most normally due to ignition system parts (such as spark plug porcelain insulator and spark plug cable) cannot be provided not enough at spark gap place.
The high voltage put on generally within traditional spark plug at chamber wall place causes the heat loss of all surface and the neighbouring burning homogeneous air-fuel mixture being in the firing chamber comprising piston, cylinder wall, cylinder head and valve.The efficiency and can making that such heat loss reduces motor is easily subject to oxidation, burn into thermal fatigue, (because thermal expansion, distortion, warpage cause) friction increase and the combustion chamber components of the impact of (because the vigor loss of the lubricating film of overheated or oxidation causes) wearing and tearing is degenerated.
Even if the spark being positioned at the surface of firing chamber causes the sustained combustion of homogeneous air-fuel mixture, rate of flame travel still sets the restriction of having burnt.Scatter and disappear more in the heat of combustor surface, the possibility that cannot complete combustion process is larger.This less desirable situation is relevant to the problem that the concentration of the unburned fuel (such as hydrocarbon vapour, hydrocarbon particulate and carbon monoxide) in waste gas increases.
Controlling air-fuel ratio and providing rarer combustion condition for the effort in higher fuel efficiency and reducing peak combustion temperatures and effort in the generation hopefully reducing nitrogen oxide causes multiple other problem.Such as, rarer air-fuel ratio compares stoichiometry or fuel rich mixture burns is slower.In addition, slower burning needs the more time to complete two strokes or the four-stroke operation of motor, thus reduces the specified power gesture (powerpotential) of engine design.Along with the replacement adopting rock gas as gasoline or diesel fuel, such actual conditions must be recognized: and if rock gas is much slower than gasoline combustion that substitute gas diesel fuel will be unfavorable for ignition by compression.
In addition; Modern Engine provides too little space for entering the firing chamber with previous electric insulating part, and previous electric insulating part has enough dielectric strengths and durability must bear ringing (high voltage, coronal discharge and the superposition caused to high/low temperature due to shock and vibration and rapid thermal cycles are degenerated) parts for protection.In addition, previous approach for homogeneous and layering supply burning cannot overcome and relies on relevant restriction to octane or cetane and cannot provide the control of the fuel drip of harmful number of times or provide sufficient velocity of combustion thus realize the higher thermal efficiency, and cannot prevent the nitrogen oxide coming from burning.
In order to meet needs that multi fuel utilizes and lower weight in working order and larger air enter, final importantly allow un-throttled air to enter firing chamber and directly spray gaseous state, burning is more clean and spends less fuel, and providing layering to supply alternative as gasoline and diesel oil (gasoline) fuel of burning.But this needs providing the reliable metering of the fuel density to this extensive change, vapour tension and viscosity thus then ensureing to face extremely difficult problem in the completing of the accurate timing of igniting subsequently and combustion incident.In order to realize positive ignition, needing to provide in the relatively little gap between spark point can the air-fuel mixture of spark ignition.
If make great efforts by independent fuel injector, fuel area density to be supplied to each firing chamber to produce layering, then must arrange such as fuel to be rotated or ricochet or the detailed setting that springs back to spark gap from combustor surface momentum, but owing to sacrificing layering supply theory, the heat loss of these approach always balance combustion chamber surface.If controlled fuel by the metering valve separated by a distance with firing chamber, then will occur the fuel of waste number of times or damageability number of times (comprising the number of times producing the torque contrary with expection Driving Torque) " dripping afterwards ".Arbitrary approach all inevitably causes most of fuel " cleaning " or clashes into colder cylinder wall, so as some fuel in a small amount expect the precise time of igniting with in spark gap can the air-fuel mixture conveying of spark ignition.The thermal distortion that this causes the losses of heat loss, cylinder wall lubrication, the friction of cylinder and piston causes and the loss of the thermal efficiency caused due to the heat loss of the unexpansive formula parts that produced motor by gas expansion from workpiece.
Make great efforts to produce the rotation and being placed in rotary air by more low-density fuel entering the air of firing chamber and there are two harmful features.The induction of eddy current causes the impedance of air flowing in combustion chamber and because this reducing the air quantity entering firing chamber, thus volumetric efficiency is reduced.After igniting, products of combustion is transported to combustor surface fast by spinning momentum and oppositely heat loss accelerates.
The internal combustion engine of proving over provides the trial of multi fuel ability (such as, the ability of change between the fuel of such as gasoline, rock gas, propane, fuel alcohol, producer gas and hydrogen is selected) to be extremely complicated and highly compromises.The approach in past causes all fuel of detuning and cancels optimisation technique compromise for special fuel feature.Verified trial is like this easy to malfunctioning and needs very expensive parts and controller.These difficulties are aggravated further due to the distinct particular energy value of these fuel, vapour tension and the broad range of viscosity and other the physical property difference between vaporized fuel and liquid fuel.In addition, due to methane be burn in quoted fuel the slowest, and hydrogen burning must compare other fuel expected select in any one about 7 to 10 times all soon, therefore need the instantaneous reconstruction of ignition timing.
Other problem is faced between the cryogenic liquide of identical fuel material or snow-broth and compressed fuel gas store.Illustratively, liquid hydrogen is under atmospheric pressure stored in-420 °F (-252 DEG C) and causes and do not protect conveying circuit, pressure regulator and sparger condensation and freezing atmospheric water vapour and become impaired ice owing to being exposed to atmospheric moisture.Low temperature methane faces ice and is formed and impaired Similar Problems.Similarly, these perishing fluids also cause common metering aperture (especially microstome) malfunctioning and block.
Still exist and the very difficult problem that must solve how can be vehicle rapid recharge fuel by the thick liquids fuel be under low temperature (hydrogen or methane) or ambient temperature (propane or butane), and under no-load power or low-power, use the steam of this fuel, and under high power levels, use the liquid state of this fuel to carry, to meet energy producing needs?
Under atmospheric pressure, injection low temperature liquid hydrogen or methane need the thick liquids of the very little volume of accurate measurement (comparing the very large Gaseous Hydrogen of volume or the conveying of methane).In addition, select regardless of the concrete multi fuel being delivered to firing chamber, accurately produce, igniting and the layering of combustion fuel and air supply mixture is all necessary.
Select to realize elementary object (comprising most high thermal efficiency, the highest mechanical efficiency, the highest volumetric efficiency and the longest engine life) by often kind of fuel to need accurately to control fuel area density timing, firing chamber infiltration and distribution pattern by the fuel entered, and accurately ignition timing utilizes for optimization air, and the inflating medium keeping excess air that combustion process and workpiece are produced is isolated.
In order to meet the energy requirement of global economy sustainably, need to improve the production of methane and hydrogen, transport and storage by almost each known method.1 gallon of cryogenic liquid methane being in-256 DEG C provides the energy density of 89,000BTU/gal, less than 1 gallons of petrol by about 28%.The liquid hydrogen being in-252 DEG C only provides about 29,700BTU/gal, or is less than gasoline 76%.
The mixture of methane, hydrogen or methane and hydrogen is used to be needed for a long time to replace the gasoline in spark ignition engine as cryogenic liquide or pressurized gas interchangeably.But this target realizes not yet satisfactorily, and therefore, although the cost of the renewable hydrogen of methane and various ways is far smaller than gasoline, the automobile of the overwhelming majority is still devoted to gasoline.Similarly, the mixture of methane, hydrogen or methane and hydrogen is used to be taken as target for a long time as cryogenic liquide and/or compressed gaseous to replace the diesel fuel in compression ignition engine interchangeably, but this target verified is more difficult to realize, and that cause pollution and more expensive diesel fuel is still devoted to by most diesel oil motor.

Therefore, the almost any distance the position above the valve that the tight spacing from the interface of firing chamber to Modern Engine is opened and valve operator can both be provided by the overall spark ignition of the fuel control force and optimum spark plug or diesel fuel injectors position that are transferred to logical normally closed flow control valve 3074 by insulated cable 3060.The structure with the fuel injector of entirety igniting of the present disclosure allows sparger to substitute spark plug or diesel fuel injectors, thus provide the high efficiency layering supply burning that accurate fuel injection timing and self adaption spark ignition are selected for kind fuel widely, comprising the fuel (regardless of octane, cetane, viscosity, temperature or fuel energy density grade) that cost is less.Previously be limited to motor that the fuel with specific octane or cetane number is operated lower and to environment facies when the useful disclosure is converted into the operation that more the effective use life-span is longer by cost in fuel.In addition, can operate sparger 3028,3029 or 3029 ' as pilot fuel conveying and ignition system or as only spark ignition system to make motor recovery to the primitive operation of the gasoline carried by carburetting or intake manifold fuel injection system.Similarly, sparger 3028,3029 or 3029 ' can be configured for according to these various fuel meterings and fire group is incompatible is operated by diesel fuel or alternative spark ignition fuel.
According to other side of the present disclosure, can prevent from being formed to control adaptively while nitrogen oxide fuel injection timing and spark ignition timing for such as making maximize fuel economy, specific power produces, the lubricating film guaranteed on Combustor is safeguarded and/or makes the object of minimum.In certain embodiments, near face, the firing chamber place preferably making cable 3060 extend to fuel dispensing nozzle permanently by flow control valve 3074 or face, firing chamber, thus by observation firing chamber, the center event of groove 3088 as shown in Fig. 5, Fig. 7 and Figure 11.In an alternative embodiment, cable 3060 can be formed and one or morely move freely degree of crook (such as armature stops the loop above ball 3035), thus be preferably so that armature 3048 can start mobile before flow control valve 3074 and produce momentum starting to promote cable 3060 thus therefore promote suddenly, and as shown in figure radiation wavelength is delivered to sensor 3040 from firing chamber permanently by soft magnetic core 3045.According to embodiment of the present disclosure, sensor 3040 can be separated or be formed integral to (as shown in the figure) in controller 3043 with controller 3043.In one embodiment, Electro-Optic Sensor System provides the comprehensive monitoring to chamber conditions, sprays and ignition event comprising the burning of the function of the pressure in the firing chamber as motor 3030 as shown in the figure and/or radiation detection, expansion, exhaust, air inlet, fuel.Therefore, with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, come the temperature of sensor 3040 and/or sensor 3062D and/or sensor 3062P and corresponding pressure signal can make controller 3032 immediately by temperature and at fuel combustion temperature the residing time be associated with chamber pressure, piston position, and to be associated with the chemical property of the product burnt.
Such coherence is easy to U. S. Patent 6,015,065,6,446,597,6,503,584,5,343,699 and 5,394,852 and co-pending application 60/551, technology disclosed in 219 and the firing chamber radiation data that provided to sensor 3040 as shown in the figure by optical fiber tube bank/light pipe assembly/cable 3060 are realized by piston position, operating motor in conjunction with data capture of chamber pressure.The correlation function produced makes to be delivered to by cable 3060 pattern that the radiation signal of sensor 3040 and piston position data can indicate chamber pressure, temperature and the combustion condition optimized adaptively needed for the various duty of engine (such as, make fuel economy, power produce to maximize, avoid nitrogen oxide, avoid heat loss etc.).Afterwards, the data being supplied to controller 3043 by cable 3060 and sensor 3040 can make to realize the quick of the duty of engine and adaptive control by the unusual effective sparger of cost.
Therefore, according to an embodiment, one or more pressure transducers that more fully self adaption ejecting system can be disclosed in simultaneously combined sensor 3040 and cable 3060 and the patent quoted above covered as known in the art and/or by way of reference herein and co-pending application.Under these circumstances, the self adaption that the rotational acceleration of preferably monitoring motor produces management for fuel economy and power is improved.Therefore can monitor engine acceleration by multiple technologies, detect comprising bent axle or camshaft timing, distributor timing, gear teeth timing or velocity of piston.Engine acceleration as the function of controlled variable (drawing comprising fuel type selection, fuel type temperature, fuel injection timing, jet pressure, injection recurrence rate, ignition timing and chamber temperature) makes it possible to by traditional or spend that less fuel significantly improves engine performance, fuel economy, effulent control and engine life.
According to All aspects of of the present disclosure, produce the spark plasma igniting with self adaption timing with the burning optimizing the fuel viscosity of extensively change, calorific value and vapour tension by be positioned at or the substantially contiguous remote valve operator 3048 at interface, firing chamber and this new combination of flow control valve 3074 provide.Owing to existing very little between flow control valve 3074 and firing chamber or there is clearance volume hardly, therefore this structure almost eliminate harmful front drippage or after drip.By flow control valve 3074 is positioned at interface, firing chamber, avoid the flow in fuel motional impedance usually caused by the passage of transfer the fuel circuitously.In certain embodiments, flow control valve 3074 can by suitable mechanical spring or by being pushed into logical normally closed condition as the compressive force on the cable of the function of the power applied by spring 3036 or bar 3060, or be pushed into valve seat 3090 by magnet spring gravitation, comprising the combination of this closed action.
According to All aspects of of the present disclosure, withstand voltage properties is that the free acceleration of armature driver 3048 by providing the impact be followed by ball 3035 realizes, and armature driver 3048 is fixed on the position on cable 3060 and is designed to make suddenly ball 3035 promote or be shifted.In certain embodiments, driver 3048 is towards electromagnetic pole part and by fixing (stationery) cable 3060 as shown in the figure relative to freely moving.After obtaining sizable momentum, driver 3048 clashes into the ball 3035 in the spring of good display.In the embodiment shown, ball 3035 be attached to as shown in the figure spring 3036 in cable 3060.Therefore, in operation, compare the much larger power that can be produced by direct acting solenoid valve by this impact application suddenly and cause relatively little inertia, logical normally closed flow control valve 3074 promotes suddenly from the top valve seat of the path seat 3090.
This embodiment can utilize any suitable seat for flow control valve 3074; But, for the application of the firing chamber of puffer, preferably permanent magnet is attached to wherein or as seat 3090 flow control valve 3074 to be pushed to logical normally closed condition as shown in the figure.This unexpected impact actuating of the flow control valve 3074 undertaken by armature 3048 makes, regardless of the applying pressure needed for the appearance of fuel temperature, viscosity, snow-broth crystal (slush crystals) or the fuel delivery rate possibility of guarantee expectation, can both ensure the precision flow of fuel.The permanent magnet of such as SmCo and NdFeB is easy to provide the magnetic force of expectation under the operating temperature reaching 205 DEG C (401 °F) and guaranteed flow control valve 3074 is pushed into the logical normally closed position on magnetic valve seat 3090, thus therefore almost eliminates clearance volume and rear drippage.
In illustrative contrast, if flow control valve 3074 conducts electricity nozzle 3070 by engaging with armature 3048 for being delivered in the hole of insulator 3064, then be temporarily in the fuel in shown clearance volume rear drippage can with cycle of engine in be in the volume of the fuel area density of the expection of expected time as many.This flowing of rear drippage can be in the process of the final stage of expansion or be in the process of exhaust stroke; and will be therefore (if the incomplete words) of wasting most, cause the flame collision loss of protectiveness cylinder wall lubrication, the heating of useless piston and the friction of increase caused due to differential expansion and the overheated of exhaust system component simultaneously.This specific fuel energy of no matter octane value, vapour tension or every volume can be made how can both to utilize traditional or lower-cost fuel interchangeable utilize in be extremely important open.
In addition, to such as by the unexpected impact of driver 3048 on cable 3060 and therefore on flow control valve 3074 provide be greater than 700 barometric pressure, traditional valve-operating system will be limited to about 7 atmospheric pressure drops.Can compare apple jam or cottage formula cheese and have the incomparable quality of difficulty and the low temperature snow-broth fuel of viscosity is transported to logical normally closed flow control valve 3074 easily through relatively large path, flow control valve 3074 is arranged on the major diameter aperture of seat 3090.The quick acceleration of large inertia solenoid armature 3048 and unexpected impact subsequently shift very large lifting force by dielectric cable 3060, leave large aperture in seat 3090 suddenly and surely to promote flow control valve 3074, thus open logical normally closed safety check 3084 (if present) and fuel snow-broth mixture is ejected in firing chamber.For being in the fuel of any phase place or the mixture as being in comprising of can providing off and on hydrogen at 400 °F (204 DEG C) or higher temperature and other unusual phase place of low-viscosity fuel provides the same guaranteed conveying without rear drippage.
According to All aspects of of the present disclosure, no matter whether fuel density is be in cold engine start and then become hundred times or the thousand times liquid gasolines or low temperature hydrogen being less than engine warm-up density to be provided for the heat that liquid fuel is converted into vaporized fuel, can both provide the accurate measurement of the fuel entering firing chamber and igniting and not have disadvantageous rear drippage.This allow vehicle operators to select to expect most and obtainable fuel for make-up tank 3004 (being shown in Figure 14).Afterwards, engine exhaust heat is reclaimed by the heat exchanger shown in Figure 14 and sparger 3028 provides the optimization expected most by utilizing the fuel selected by engine waste heat, thus provides with hydrogen the advantage of the layering supply burning being characteristic.In perishing weather and in order to make carbon dioxide emissions minimize, to transmit via solenoid valve 3027 transmission preferably by the time that can obtain a large amount of heat of engine at reactor 3036 and the hydrogen that stores in accumulator 3019 or take hydrogen as the gas of feature.In operation, in the time that cold engine starts, valve 3027 is opened and hydrogen or be that the fuel of feature flows to pressure regulator 3021 and sparger 3028 by valve 3027 with hydrogen, with provide motor 3030 extremely fast, very efficient and clean startup.
Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B is the unit valve assembly constructed according to embodiment of the present disclosure.In ocean, agricultural, mining industry, construction and provided by heavily dragging in application of carrying out of railway and truck and utilize the chance of recyclable fuel and improve the efficiency of big-block engine and working life is basic, but it is extremely difficult that conveying is originally designed to for the enough vaporized fuel energy in the big-block engine of diesel fuel.Fig. 8 A show the relatively low fuel of the energy density that is provided for large volume forced feed can controlled delivery to the part section of the unit valve 3100 of each cylinder of motor such as 3130.According to All aspects of of the present disclosure, compare traditional fuel due to basic layering supply products of combustion (combustant) and there is the higher thermal efficiency, therefore unit valve 3100 be provided for big-block engine in conjunction with sparger in can to utilize in the low-down fuel of energy density be useful especially.Unit valve 3100 also makes it possible to part and utilizes such fuel, thus greatly improves the volumetric efficiency of transformed motor by being increased in the amount importing the air of firing chamber in each air inlet cyclic process.
In operation, when valve (such as ball 3106) is pushed to the operating position on seat 3108 as shown in the figure by spring 3104, pressurized fuel is supplied to shown valve chamber by inlet fitting 3102.In high speed engine application, or when spring 3104 causes opposition because of being easy to formation solid in snow-broth fuel, preferably provide seat 3108 as permanent-magnet pole to contribute to the quick-make of ball 3106.When expecting fuel area density to firing chamber, push rod 3112 forces ball 3106 to promote and leaves seat 3108 and allow fuel around ball 3106 and by shown flow channels to accessory 3110, for being delivered to firing chamber.In certain embodiments, push rod 3112 is by showing closed fitted seal in the hole being 3122 or being sealed by the elastomer seal of such as Sealing 3114.Can by the combination actuate push 3112 of any suitable method or method.
According to an embodiment, can by providing suitable control to fuel flow rate due to electric current by the solenoid action that the Circular Winding 3126 in steel cap 3128 causes, solenoid plunger 3116 moves axially relatively with push rod 3112 as shown in the figure in steel cap 3128.In certain embodiments, plunger 3116 is preferably the ferromagnetic material of soft magnetism.Plunger 3116 carries out Linear-moving under the guiding of sliding bearing 3124, sliding bearing 3124 is preferably selflubricating or anti-friction alloy, such as, by suitable tackiness agent, swaged forging or stewing (braised) locks in place thus the Nitronic alloy be forever positioned on the magnetic pole iron part 3122 of unit valve 3100 as shown in the figure or have the powder metallurgy oil-retaining bearing of permanent lubrication of screw thread, interference fit.
In other embodiments, valve ball 3106 can also be opened by pulse action, in this pulse action, being allowed to prior to causing suddenly after push rod 3112 impact bead 3106 moves freely, plunger 3116 is allowed to obtain sizable momentum before providing quite high opening force.In this embodiment, preferably when plunger 3116 accelerate towards ball 3106 be initially located in neutral position time provide " static state " gap enough between the end of ball 3106 and push rod 3112, to allow to produce sizable momentum before ball 3106 is subject to impacting suddenly.
For batch operation push rod 3112 and therefore the alternative approach of batch operation ball 3106 is that rotary solenoid by operating with the same frequency controlled suction valve and/or the power stroke of motor or the displacement of mechanically operated cam realize.So mechanically actuated exclusive source as being shifted for ball 3106 can be utilized or in conjunction with push-and-pull or rotary solenoid.In operation, clevis 3118 fixes ball bearing assembly 3120, and wherein the roller of anti-friction bearing assembly or outer ring rotate above suitable cam, thus make plunger 3116 and push rod 3112 towards ball 3106 Linear-moving.At the fuel flow rate in order to produce expectation after impact bead 3106, ball 3106 and plunger 3116 get back to neutral position by magnetic base as shown in the figure and/or spring 3104 and 3105.
The proper operation can conceiving unit valve 3100 similarly can be realized by the cam displacement with the ball bearing assembly 3120 of " the often opening " function of being undertaken by the brake component (not shown) of piezoelectric operated or by acting on plunger 3116 thus realizing in the actuating of the camshaft 3120 such as shown in Fig. 8 A and Fig. 9 by the electromagnet 3126 continuing fuel flowing stage afterwards.This provide fluid flow valve function, wherein the movable valve element of such as 3106 is shifted by being subject to the plunger 3112 of the effect of the power of suitable mechanism (comprising the combination of solenoid, cam-operated device and solenoid and cam-operated person), and the combination that wherein valve element 3106 is held in place aperiodically for allowing by such solenoid, piezoelectricity brake component and/or solenoid and piezoelectric device realizes fluid flowing.
Fuel flowing from unit valve 3100 can be delivered to motor suction valve port, be delivered to suitable direct cylinder fuel injectors and/or be delivered to the sparger of the selected combination with the embodiment being illustrated in greater detail in Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Figure 10 and Figure 11.In some application of such as large-scale displacement type motor, expect fuel area density to whole three inlet points.When pressurized fuel is transported to the inlet valve port of firing chamber by timing injection in the time period that air inlet port or valve are opened, by applying fuel momentum thus the air carrying out producing larger air density in a combustion chamber pumps into, achieve the increase of air inlet and volumetric efficiency.
Under these circumstances, fuel is carried with the speed significantly more than air velocity, thus therefore causes air to accelerate to enter in firing chamber.This advantage can be controlled as being less than the amount that to be started or maintains the fuel burnt by spark ignition by the amount of the fuel by entering firing chamber and form.But, this poor fuel-air mixture can be sprayed easily through fuel and carries out lighting a fire and lighted a fire by the sparger embodiment of Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Figure 10 and Figure 11, and these spargers embodiment provides guaranteed igniting and rapid osmotic by the poor fuel-air mixture becoming to be produced by timing port fuel injection by fuel combustion.
Extra power can be provided by direct cylinder injection by independent direct fuel sparger fuel being added into the burning that sparger starts.Ensure that from one or more direct cylinder injector separately to the direct injection the combustion mode started by sparger/igniter and control in excess air fast and perfect combustion and avoid usually with needs from combustor surface fuel vortex, ricochet and/or resilience and then around the surface of spark ignition sources or the heat loss that is associated of the near surface independent direct injection of burning and spark ignition parts.

According to the disclosure, igniting can by comprise Hall effect, piezoelectric crystal distortion, photo-optics, magnetic resistance multiple startup event trigger, or triggered by other the proximity detector detecting camshaft 3212 or other synchronous event (such as calculating the gear teeth), or by utilize optics, magnetic, electric capacity, inductance, permanent magnet generator or when plunger 3116 is more mobile sleeve pipe 3124 and Circular Winding 3126 in other the electric signal change of generation trigger.After this plunger movable signal produces, preferably utilize electronic computer 3072 or such as 3220 or 3062 independent computer in the engine to provide self adaption fuel spray and spark ignition, thus optimization produces from increasing power, increases fuel economy, reduces the result that nitrous oxide forms one or more expectations of middle selection, and be conducive to being started by minimum startup energy, or make the sense of rotation of motor oppositely thus eliminate in transmission device the needs reversing gear.
The present disclosure overcomes occur in control the valve of fuel metering and firing chamber separated by a distance time the problem of waste of fuel.This problem allows fuel to continue to flow after control valve closes and the optimal time interval place causing fuel the most useful in power stroke transfer the fuel when can not burn.If such fuel continues to drip lavishly in exhaust stroke process, be then special waste and cause motor and vent systems to degenerate.In order to overcome this carry the vaporized fuel of enough volumes and do not drip and can optimum utilization fuel time the problem of difficulty of rear flowing, preferably utilize sparger 3028,3029 or 3029 ' as final point of delivery by fuel fast and the system be accurately transported to as Figure 14 provide in the firing chamber of the internal-combustion engine of power and/or the onsite engine receiving the fuel carried by the disclosure or transport applications.
Fuel to be combusted is transported to the sparger 3029 ' shown in Figure 10 via entrance 3042 by suitable pressure fittings.When expecting the firing chamber of diesel oil or the spark ignition engine extremely changed by fuel area density, use volute operator assembly 3043,3044,3046,3048 and 3054.Ferromagnetic driver 3048 moves in response to the electromagnetic force making the electric current in the Circular Winding of insulated conductor 3046 and driver 3048 produce when solenoid core pole element 3045 as shown in the figure moves when the voltage on the wire 3052 be applied in insulator well 3050.
Driver 3048 through the dielectric cable 3060 of fixing (stationery) instantaneously towards electromagnetic pole part as shown in the figure relative to freely moving.After obtaining sizable momentum, driver 3048 clashes into the ball 3035 in the spring that well illustrates.Ball 3035 is attached to the dielectric cable 3060 in spring 3036 as shown in the figure.Comparing much larger this power applied suddenly by momentum transfer that can be produced by direct acting solenoid valve makes the valve member 3074 usually closed by relatively little inertia promote suddenly from the top valve seat of the path seat 3090 as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10 is the longitudinal profile of the element carrying out the embodiment operated according to embodiment of the present disclosure.Figure 11 is the end elevation of 3094 in the element of the Figure 10 constructed according to embodiment of the present disclosure.Figure 12 is the diagram of carrying out the sparger embodiment of the present disclosure operated according to principle of the present disclosure.Figure 13 is the amplification end view of the flat pipeline shown in Figure 10.According to another embodiment of multi fuel sparger 3029 ', selected fuel is delivered to flat springs pipe 3094 with the number of times expected in order to fuel sprays, this flat springs pipe 3094 normally flat and expand under the effect entering fuel wherein, thus provide the low-down impedance of circular pipe for flowing in firing chamber as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11.After completing this flowing in combustion chamber of fuel forward, flat springs pipeline 3094 subsides to basic " without clearance volume " operating position, thus is effectively used as the safety check relative to the superheated steam from firing chamber.Optical fiber tube bank 3060 extends through flow control valve 3074 ' below magnetic base 3090, using by making flat tube 3094 through the centre convergence of groove 3088 as shown in the figure or alternatively making flat tube 3094 extend through as 3096 to distribute fuel with what produces the well of the layering supply burning expected and observe firing chamber event by being used as with the center hole of the hole race of expected angle setting.(this alternative view does not specifically illustrate.)
Figure 10 shows the flattened cross-sectional of flat springs pipe 3094, and flat springs pipe 3094 is flat between fuel injection event, with the safety check of the combustion chamber gases flowing between effectively presenting relative to fuel injection event.Figure 13 show alternatively for logical normally closed safety check and for by fuel area density to free-flow passage flat of firing chamber and the amplification end view of the circular pipe cross section of fuel volumetric growth.The suitable elastomer being used as the Material selec-tion of flat springs pipe 3094 well comprises PTFE, ETFE, PFA, PEEK and FEP of the operating temperature of the broad spectrum for from-251 to 215 degrees Celsius (-420 to+420 Fahrenheits).Expect so flat/circular pipe along with fuel transmission elastic expansion more or less to the limit of path 3092, and shrink and meet the obtainable space for the flat material between fuel area density interval.Therefore, the flat pattern shown in Figure 13 can adopt structure that is crescent, distortion, bending and/or ripple to be consistent with the size and geometrical shape of path 3092.Synergistic benefits is comprised pipe 3094 and is cooled through 3026 and/or 3023 (as shown in figure 14) from heat exchanger by fuel, thus ensures the longer working life of bourdon tube 3094.

When needs supply cold start-up and operation to the low-vapor pressure liquid carrying of such as methyl alcohol, ethanol, diesel fuel or petrol injector 3028 or 3029 provide the open and close of the repetition quickly of flow control valve 3074 to circulate, thus provide the conveying of the New-type fuel with especially high S/V characteristic.By applying the opening action of armature 3048 and realize opened the operation cycle operations flows control valve closed with 0.0001 second with such as 0.0002 second on the cable of unusual low inertia or bar 3060 and ball 3074, fuel from such as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 3088 and 3089 Poona's sample of a series of sparse and intensive pattern of groove picture as shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B, Fig. 3 C and Fig. 3 D spray.This provide the superior rate of burning of guaranteed spark ignition with thin, high S/V fuel film, thus cause the idle running of in the zero load of in overall injection phase about 0.001 second to the accelerating process of motor 3030 about 0.012 second.The flat membrane ripple of such pattern of the fuel sprayed from groove 3088 makes it possible to carry out compare the injection obviously postponed and guaranteed igniting that can realize by traditional approach, thus by producing homogeneous air supply-fuel mixture or compromise layering air supply-fuel mixture from combustor surface resilience or ricochet as needed for independent fuel injector and spark plug combination.
The self adaption timing of the spark ignition that each ripple passing through sprayed fuel carries out provides the much bigger control of peak combustion temperatures.In operation, this makes the burning of initial fuel rich can fire fuel film, transfer to the excess air holding layering supply burning by expansion flame from front subsequently, to produce the abundant burning of remote air, thus ensure perfect combustion and can not more than 2, the peak combustion temperatures of 204 DEG C (4,000 °F), therefore avoids the generation of nitrogen oxide.

It is very favorable (especially in mixing application) that the moisturizing combining source of this hydrogen is removed for the PEM (PEM) in the fuel cell of such as 3437 in the water of crank box.This makes it possible to extremely flexible and operates the system of the embodiment based on Figure 14 efficiently, its scope required is from the megawatts capacity outputted to by combining the generator set indicated by this fuel battery operation by several kilowatts of fuel cell 3437, thus the requirement of change that the needs met because every diurnal variation, seasonal weather cause or need of production cause.
In normal running, under the condition that the cold engine selected by the cold fuel in fuel tank 3404 is started, fuel fume from storing the top of fuel tank 3404 by filter 3422, multi-way valve 3414 and be taken to injection apparatus 3428 by isolated pipe 3425, for spray and igniting thus form layering supply burning and be in power stroke motor 3430 institute's combuster in the unexpected heating of excess air.Supply by the steam in the top by fuel tank 3404 the more power that provides of fuel ratio maintained if need to compare, then liquid fuel is removed and be delivered to sparger 3428 by filter 3420 from the bottom of fuel tank 3404.According to All aspects of of the present disclosure, after motor preheating, the waste heat energy liquid fuel be enough in heat exchanger 3436 carries out pressurizeing and gasifying.According to some aspects again, heat exchanger 3436 can produce new fuel type in conjunction with one or more suitable catalyzer for by liquid, steam or gaseous fuel composition.
According to the disclosure and according to the chemical property of the fuel be stored in fuel tank 3404, it is that the fuel of characteristic is for the operation improving motor 3430 with hydrogen that heat exchanger 3436 can produce multiple.Such as, wet methyl alcohol can gasify by increasing heat and dissociate, thus produces hydrogen shown in Equation 1 and carbon monoxide:
2CH3OH+H2O+ heat → 5H2+CO+CO2 equation 1
As shown in equation 2, the heat absorption of the wet ethanol that cost is few can be provided to reform by heat and/or by the oxygen donor increasing such as water:
C2H5OH+H2O+ heat → 4H2+2CO equation 2
Therefore, the disclosure makes it possible to by allowing large water gaging along with alcohol is by the destructive distillation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, synthesis and to produce and/or by fermenting and distillation and produce and still keep mixing with alcohol the living beings alcohol utilized from the much lower production method of cost mutually.In operation, owing to comparing dry wine essence, producing wet alcohol needs less energy and capital equipment, and therefore this makes it possible to realize more favourable energy economy.Not bound by theory, process disclosed herein and system be conducive to further utilizing from the used heat of motor endothermically produce hydrogen with carbon monoxide fuel derivative and the raw material release comparing dry wine essence reach more than 25% burning energy.Other benefit derive from by hydrogen provide sooner and more clean combustion characteristic.Therefore, measure by utilizing injection apparatus 3428 and the layering supply of lighting a fire in the non-throttling air of picture this take hydrogen as the derived fuel of feature, the overall fuel efficiency that the homogeneous supply burning achieving contrast dry wine essence is greater than 40% is improved.
According to further embodiment, the water for heat absorption reaction shown in equation 1 and equation 2 can be supplied by auxiliary water storage box 3409, and/or be increased to auxiliary tank 3409 and supply by the water collected from waste gas streams, or supplied by premix Heshui, and if if required, by there is the solubility stabilizer supply of the fuel be stored in fuel tank 3404 and/or passing through to collect the water from the atmosphere condensation in the air flow passage 3423 surface of heat exchanger 3426.As shown in figure 14, pump 3415 makes water to be delivered to heat transfer reactor 3436 with the ratio proportional by the fuel ratio of valve 3411 and safety check 3407 by safety check 3407, to meet stoichiometry reforming reaction.
The fuel alcohol of such as ethanol, methyl alcohol, isopropanol etc. can stoichiometrically than water-soluble and as totally illustrated by equation 1 and equation 2 and producing obviously more hydrogen with summing up in heat absorption reformation.This fuel making cost much lower can be advantageously used in such as farm and other small enterprise.Cost savings include but not limited to decrease for removing the refinement energy of water and the transport from remote oil refinery.
Burn any hydrocarbon, hydrogen or be that the fuel of characteristic all produces water in the waste gas of motor with hydrogen in motor 3430.According to All aspects of of the present disclosure, the major part of such waste gas flowing water can be regained, such as, regain at liquid stripper place after the waste gas lower than dew point being cooled.According to an embodiment, contra-flow heat exchanger/reactor 3436 is provided in equation 1 and the most of heat of equation 2 needed for the heat absorption reaction of characteristic (if not net quantity of heat), and does like this and cool waste gas significantly.According to provided adverse current flow velocity and region, waste gas can be cooled to close to fuel storage temperature.This is easy to provide the condensation of water and in multiple new embodiment in addition, the disclosure using this to apply by be used for storage of fuels and/or utilize the process of waste heat to combine, thus for bottom circulation and/or and hybrid engine, electrolyser, the combination of reversible fuel cell provides power, and/or as U.S. Patent No. 6, 756, 140, No.6, 155, 212, No.6, 015, 065, No.6, 446, 597, No.6, 503, 584, No.5, 343, 699 and No.5, 394, 852 and require co-pending temporary patent application 60/551, any non-provisional of the preference of 219 (these patents quote in full mode be attached to herein) collects water disclosedly.
When can not obtain adequate heat or also the unrealized preferred temperature for the heat absorption reforming reaction in reactor 3436, pump 3403 can provide oxygen-rich exhaust to reactor 3436 as shown in figure 14.Use according to the pump of the present embodiment be conducive to oxygen and have for generation of carbon monoxide and/or the exothermic reaction between carbon dioxide and the fuel type of the hydrogen combination with the heat absorption reforming reaction supported by extra thermal release.In the tradition use of the product of the reaction in reactor 3436, this causes the by-product (such as nitrogen) of opposition by providing, but huge gaseous volume or can spray and be transported to fast in firing chamber at top dead center place or close top dead center by sparger 3428 in the process of the do not trade off volumetric efficiency of motor 3430 or the power stroke number of times of the thermal efficiency and condition.
Therefore, hydrogen-containing fuel is stored in under comprising the condition selected the group of low temperature snow-broth, cryogenic liquide, the cold steam of pressurization, absorbing material, ambient temperature supercritical fluid and ambient temperature fluid by fuel tank 3404, and change into the temperature elevating substance of group selection of mixture from comprising heat steam, new chemical species and new chemical species and heat steam by the heat increase of the waste gas from motor, and to be injected in the burning of motor and to light a fire.Sufficient heat can be removed from the waste gas of motor 3430, to make water condensation significantly, in order to enter the object in the heat absorption reaction of the higher temperature region of reactor 3436, collecting the heat of this abundance preferably by hydrogen-containing fuel, thus producing hydrogen as shown in figure.Equation 3 shows the heat and water that are produced by the hydrocarbon fuel of the such as methane that burns:
CH4+3O2 → CO2+2H2O equation 3
Equation 4 show for by water by the hydrocarbon reforming of such as methane, ethane, propane, butane, octane, gasoline, diesel fuel and other heavier fuel molecule to form the general procedure of the mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide:
CxHy+XH2O+ heat → (0.5Y+X) H2+XCO equation 4
It is by the twice or three times of water with hydrogen for the fuel of characteristic needed for of methane reforming for more expecting that equation 3,5 and 6 shows by the burn amount of the water produced of the hydrocarbon of such as methane:
CH4+H2O+ heat → 3H2+CO equation 5
The fuel type of hydrocarbon and the generation of burning equation 5 that equation 6 shows such as methane of reforming to produce more expanding gas and to produce the benefit of more water for the reforming reaction in reactor 3436 in the power stroke of firing chamber.
3H2+CO+2O2 → 3H2O+CO2 equation 6
Therefore, manufactured by water reforming methane and the producer gas that burns (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) provide more burning energy and be reform for the heat absorption of the methane in reactor 3436 needed for about three times of product water.Therefore, together with the water of condensation in heat exchanger 3426, should be able to be used for collecting sufficient water by vehicle of the present disclosure or fixing (stationery).Due to most of weight of water of using in reactor 3436 by burning from the hydrogen in the oxygen of air and motor 3430 or be that the fuel of characteristic obtains with hydrogen, therefore the collection of water reduces total quality.Therefore, every gram of hydrogen provides nine grams from the water collected of the waste gas of motor 3430 in conjunction with the oxygen in eight grams of air.
According to further embodiment, sufficient purified water can be supplied for operating one or more electrolytic process under the high temperature that can be obtained by the exchange heat from motor 3430 or the cold fuel from fuel tank 3404 or low temperature, to support the reaction (comprising catalysis supporting reactions) in regenerative operation in hybrid vehicle and/or load balancing operation and heat exchanger 3436.This embodiment creates the total energy utilization ratio of improvement, this is provided by synergistic combination as herein described, and because the abundance supply of this pure water do not need heaviness and needs safeguard reverse osmosis, distillation system or other expensive and catabiotic equipment, be therefore worth attention further.
Passing through produced is that the fuel of characteristic provides other advantage multiple with hydrogen, comprising:
Fast with similar hydrocarbon 7 to 10 times of the combustion ratio methane of hydrogen, and this make ignition timing can than by raw hydrocarbon kind late many avoid simultaneously in comparatively Zao compression stage with igniting doing over again in a large number and heat loss.
The heat more than raw hydrocarbon 25% that the hydrogen produced by heat absorption reforming reaction and carbon monoxide discharge in combustion.This is the thermomechanics input of the endothermic heat in the process owing to being formed by raw hydrocarbon at hydrogen and carbon monoxide.This uses from the water jacket of motor or the used heat of air cooling system and the mode useful especially from the higher heat of the quality of vent systems as shown in the figure.
The burning of hydrogen is cleaned and be ensure that burning diffusion extremely fast and ensure that by the perfect combustion in the excess air of any hydrocarbon of reforming reaction, to become with hydrogen other composition of the fuel mixture being characteristic very much.
Hydrogen and/or the rapid combustion of other fuel type when having the water vapour carried by sparger 3428 are carried out rapid heating to such steam and are produced for the layering supply insulation expansion in firing chamber and merit, thus provide and compare the much bigger operating efficiency of homogeneous supplying method that water vapour expands.
The rapid heating of water vapour and the water vapour that produced by burning are by the peak temperature of reduction products of combustion and greatly reduce nitrogen oxide by the concerted reaction of this water reactive steam and nitrogen oxide, thus greatly reduce clean generation and the appearance of nitrogen oxides of exhaust gas.
As the rapid-ignition undertaken by the rapid combustion of the oxidized taking hydrogen as characteristic set up uniquely by sparger 3428 and heating provide the more time in a combustion chamber for useful concerted reaction, the propellant composition that this concerted reaction complete oxidation is all and the nitrogen oxide decreased in waste gas streams.
Figure 15 A to Figure 15 D sequentially illustrates the layering supply burn results realized by valve actuating operations device (such as overall disclosed about the piezoelectricity in the top of sparger 3428 or solenoid armature 3448), valve actuating operations device and flow control valve 3584 electrical separation but with flow control valve 3484 mechanical coupling, valve actuating operations device is positioned at the interface with firing chamber as shown in the figure.In that case, flow control component 3484 is used as to be shifted towards firing chamber thus to allow the mobile flow control valve that the fuel sprayed enters, and is moved upward to logical normally closed position thus is used as safety check relative to combustion-gas pressure.Along with the voltage potential of the insulation flow-control valve assembly by putting on screw thread ground and engine cylinder cover or engine body and parts as shown in the figure 3484 produces plasma discharge, the igniting of the fuel sprayed occurs.
the dielectric characterization of integrated sparger/igniter
Figure 16 is the cross section side partial views of the sparger 410 constructed according to embodiment of the present disclosure.Sparger 410 shown in Figure 16 shows some features of the dielectric material that can use according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.Shown sparger 410 comprises the some features with the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function of the individual features of the sparger be described above with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 D at least broadly similar.Such as, sparger 410 comprises body 412, and body 412 has the spray nozzle part 418 extended from intermediate portion 416.Spray nozzle part 418 enters in opening in engine cylinder cover 407 or entry port 409.Many motors of such as diesel engine all have the entry port 409 of diameter very little (such as, diameter is about 7.09mm or 0.279mm inch).Space little is like this being provided for the spark ignition of fuel type (such as, energy density is less than diesel fuel by about 3, the fuel of 000 times) that the disclosure conceives or the abundant insulation aspect of plasma igniting constitutes difficulty.But, As described in detail below, sparger of the present disclosure has such body 412: body 412 has can provide dielectric or the insulating material of sufficient electric insulation for ignition wire, to produce the high voltage of needs (such as, 60,000 volt) for producing in very little space, isolating and/or conveying ignition event (such as, igniting or plasma).These dielectrics or insulating material are configured for equally relative to being exposed to the high temperature and high pressure gas and the oxidation that causes that are produced by burning due to circulation or other degeneration provides stability and protection.In addition, as explained in detail below, these dielectric materials can be configured to the optics of in the future spontaneous combustion room or electrical communications path is bonded to sensor, such as transducer, instrument, filter, amplifier, controller and/or computer.In addition, insulating material can by metal base 414 brazing of body 412 or diffusion bonding in sealing station.
screw winding dielectric characterization
An embodiment of the body 412 of the sparger 410 according to Figure 16, the dielectric material of the intermediate portion 416 and/or spray nozzle part 418 that comprise sparger 410 is shown in Figure 17 A and Figure 17 B.More specifically, Figure 17 A is the side view of insulator or dielectric plastid 512, and Figure 17 B is substantially along the cross-sectional side view that the line 17B-17B of Figure 17 A intercepts.Although the body 512 shown in Figure 17 A has overall cylindrical shape, in other embodiments, body 512 can comprise other shape, comprising such as from the spray nozzle part that body 512 extends towards interface, firing chamber 531.Simultaneously with reference to Figure 17 A and Figure 17 B, in the embodiment shown, dielectric plastid 512 is made up of spiral or winding bottom 528.In certain embodiments, bottom 528 can be artificial or natural mica (such as, free of pinholes mica paper).But in other embodiments, bottom 528 can by being suitable for providing other material of the sufficient dielectric strength be associated with relatively thin material to form.In the embodiment shown, the one or both sides of bottom 528 are covered by relatively thin dielectric coating layer 530.Coating layer 530 can be made up of high temperature, high-purity polymer, such as Teflon NXT, Dyneon TFM, Parylene HT, polyether sulfone and/or polyether-ether-ketone.But in other embodiments, coating layer 530 can be made up of other material being applicable to seal fully bottom 528.
Bottom 528 and coating layer 530 can closely be wound into spiral-shaped, thus form pipe, because herein is provided the continuous lamella of the bottom 528 and coating layer 530 combined.In certain embodiments, these layers can be bonded to wound configuration by suitable tackiness agent (such as, ceramic cement).In other embodiments, these layers can be flooded by polymer, glass, pyrogenic silica or other suitable material, thus body 512 can be held into be closely wound tubular.In addition, the sheet of body 512 or layer can be separated by the different film of continuous application.Such as, the separating film between the layer of body 512 can comprise Parylene N, Parylene C, Parylene, HT thin layer and/or by application other Material selec-tion (such as thin boron nitride, polyether sulfone or polyolefin (such as polyethylene) or other suitable parting material) and the layer that is separated.This thin film separation can also be realized by temperature or pressure instrument fiber, comprises such as monocrystalline sapphire fiber.This fiber can be produced by laser heating pedestal growing technology, and perfluoroethylene-propylene (FEP) can be coated with subsequently or there is other material of similar refractive index value, to prevent energy from fibre leakage to around the potential absorbing membrane of this fiber.
When coating layer 530 is applied to relatively thin film (such as, 0.1mm to 0.3mm) in time, coating layer 530 can from-30 DEG C (such as,-22 °F) reach the dielectric strength of about 2.0 Kilovolt/0.001 " to 4.0 Kilovolt/0.001 " of about 230 DEG C (such as, 450 °F).Inventor has been found that to have can not provide enough insulation to provide the required voltage for ignition event compared with the coating layer 530 of heavy thickness.More specifically, as table 1 below reflect, coating layer that thickness is larger has the dielectric strength significantly reduced.These dielectric strengths reduced may be not enough to when being desirably in the arc through and current leakage that prevent insulation body 512 when firing chamber produces ignition event (such as, spark or plasma).Such as, have in the motor of high compaction pressure many, such as typical diesel engine or supercharged engine, the voltage needed for starting ignition event (such as, spark or plasma) is about 60,000 volt or more.The traditional dielectric plastid (being made up of conventional insulator) comprising the tubular insulator only with 0.040 inch or larger effective thickness only can provide 500 volts/.001 " and such required voltage cannot be held fully.
The dielectric strength contrast of the selected formula of table 1
The embodiment of the insulation body 512 shown in Figure 17 A and Figure 17 B can provide about 3,000 volt/0.001 at-30 DEG C (such as ,-22 °F) temperature to about 450 DEG C (such as, 840 °F) " dielectric strength.In addition, coating layer 530 can also be used as the sealing compound of bottom 528, enters body 512 to prevent combustion gas and/or other pollutant.Coating layer 530 can also provide fully different refractive indexes, thus improves the efficiency that light propagated by body 512, for the optical communication device extended by body 512.
According to another feature of illustrated embodiment, body 512 is included in the multiple communicators 532 by body 512 longitudinal extension between the sheet of bottom 528 or layer.In certain embodiments, communicator 532 can be conductor, such as high-voltage spark ignition wire or cable.These ignition wires can be made up of wire, and therefore wire insulation or the aluminium be coated with through oxidation provide aluminium oxide on line.Due to communicator 532 between corresponding bottom 528 by body 512 longitudinal extension, therefore communicator 532 does not participate in any supply of being extended radially outwardly by body 512.Therefore, communicator 532 does not affect the fire retardant of body 512 or by alternate manner, the fire retardant of body 512 is degenerated.Except the voltage of conveying for lighting a fire, in certain embodiments, communicator 532 can also operatively be attached to one or more actuator and/or controller, thus drives Flow valve to spray for fuel.
In other embodiments, communicator 532 can be configured to burning data to transfer to one or more transducer, amplifier, controller, filter, instrument computer etc. from firing chamber.Such as, communicator 532 can be optical fiber or by such as quartz, aluminum fluoride, ZBLAN fluoride, glass and or polymer and/or be applicable to transmit the optical layer of other material of data or other communicator fibroplastic by sparger.In other embodiments, communicator 532 can be made up of the suitable transmitting material of the fluoride (ZBLAN) of such as zirconium, barium, lanthanum, aluminium and sodium and pottery or glass tube.
the grain orientation of dielectric characterization
Referring again to Figure 16, another embodiment of sparger 410 according to Figure 16, body 412 (such as, intermediate portion 416 and/or spray nozzle part 418) dielectric material can be configured with specific grain orientation, high-tension expectation fire retardant can be born with what realize being associated with the disclosure.Such as, grainiess can comprise circumference alignment and the crystal grain around tubular body 412 layering, thus forms compressive force at the outer surface place being undertaken balancing by time top layer tension force.More specifically, Figure 18 A and Figure 18 B is according to the dielectric plastid 612 of another embodiment structure of the present disclosure and the basic cross-sectional side view intercepted along the line 18-18 of Figure 16.First with reference to Figure 18 A, body 612 can be made up of the stupalith with high dielectric strength, such as quartz, sapphire, glass matrix and/or other suitable pottery.
As in the illustrated example, body 612 comprises the crystal grain 634 along substantially identical direction orientation.Such as, crystal grain 634 makes its longitudinal axis carry out orientation around alignment on the body 612 substantially circumferential direction extended by each single crystal grain 634.By with the crystal grain 634 of this orientation layering, body 612 is that the body 612 of almost any thickness provides superior dielectric strength.This is because the length of layering, flat crystal grain do not provide from the radially outer good conductive path of body 612.
Figure 18 B shows the compressive force in the location of body 612.More specifically, embodiment according to Figure 18 B, body 612 is processed, thus at least in part crystal grain 634 is arranged in the outer outer surface 637 of contiguous body 612 and one or more constricted zones 635 (that is, comprising the region of the compressive force of the orientation according to crystal grain 634) on surface, inside and outside 638.Body 612 also comprises the uncompressed region 636 of the crystal grain 634 between constricted zone 635.Uncompressed region 636 provides balance tension at the middle part of body 612.In certain embodiments, each in constricted zone 635 can comprise the more crystal grain 634 of every volume to realize compressive force.In other embodiments, each in constricted zone 635 can comprise such crystal grain 634: these crystal grain 634 have been affected thus have kept local amorphous structure, or is less than the amorphous structure of crystal grain 634 in uncompressed region 636 by the pack effectiveness produced or lattice is revised.In a further embodiment, can be diffused in surface by ion implantation, sputtering surface layer and/or one or more materials and make this surface have the charging efficiency lower than the uncompressed region 636 of body 612 and make outer surface 637 and internal surface 638 be in compressive state.In the embodiment shown in Figure 18 B, the constricted zone 635 of the outer surface 637 and internal surface 638 place that are in body 612 provides higher anisotropy dielectric strength.
A benefit of the embodiment shown in Figure 18 B is that constricted zone 635 is from this different result of the charging efficiency in uncompressed region 636: the surface making to be in compressive state is carried out compressing and become obviously more durable and more can resist and ruptures or degenerate.Such as, the generation of this compressive force prevent at least in part can form conductive path in body 612 thus reduce body 612 dielectric strength material (such as, electrolyte, as having the water of the material of dissolving, being rich in the material etc. of carbon) enter.The generation of this compressive force also prevent at least in part body 612 due to be exposed to fast-changing temperature, pressure, chemical degradation agent and often kind of combustion incident impulsive force suffered by thermal shock and/or mechanical shock and degenerating.Such as, the embodiment shown in Figure 18 B be configured for body 612 especially continuous voltage protection, the intensity that increases relative to the fracture caused due to great loading capacity (comprising a load and low cycle fatigue power or high cycles fatigue power).
Crystallographic orientation crystal grain 634 provides maximum dielectric strength for holding the voltage striding across body 612 and set up in conjunction with this structure that another benefit of constricted zone 635 is crystal grain 634.Such as, this is configured in the section place of portion being greater than 1mm or 0.040 inch thickness and provides the outstanding dielectric strength improvement reaching 2.4KV/.001 inch.What contrast did not have an identical ceramic component of this new grain properties is only the dielectric strength of about 1.0KV/.001 inch to 1.3KV/.001 inch, and these are significantly higher values.
Hereafter describe the some processes for the production of the above-mentioned insulator with compressive surfaces feature in detail.Such as, in one embodiment, the insulator constructed according to embodiment of the present disclosure can by U.S. Patent No. 3, and 689, the material disclosed in 293 is made, and this patent is attached to herein by the mode quoted in full.Such as, insulator can be made up of the material comprising following composition according to weight: 25-60%SiO 2, 15-35%R 2o 3(wherein R 2o 33-15%B 2o 3and 5-25%Al 2o 3), 4-25%MgO+0-7%Li 2o (MgO+Li 2the total amount of O is between about 6-25%), 2-20%R 2o (wherein R 2o is 0-15%Na 2o, 0-15%K 2o, 0-15%Rb 2o), 0-15%Rb 2o, 0-20%Cs 2o, and there is 4-20%F.More specifically, in one embodiment, illustrative formula is by 43.9%SiO 2, 13.8%MgO, 15.7%Al 2o 3, 10.7%K 2o, 8.1%B 2o 3form with 7.9%F.But in other embodiments, the insulator constructed according to embodiment of the present disclosure can be made up of larger or less these component materials of percentage and different materials.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the composition forming insulator carries out the formula that ball milling and melting are the constituent forming insulator being made into anti-blending in non-reacted suitable closed crucible.Composition keeps certain hour to guarantee the abundant mixing that melting is filled a prescription under about 1400 DEG C (such as, 2550 °F).Molten mass and the additive that can carry out from the group comprising Bond, oiling agent and burning adminicle selecting then are cooled and again carry out ball milling.Composition is then extruded with various intended shape (comprising such as tubular) and is heated to be greater than about 800 DEG C (1470 °F) a period of times of conversion temperature.The heating being greater than conversion temperature facilitates fluormica crystal nucleation.The composition extruded can then be further heated and pressure forming or extruding at about 850 DEG C to 1100 DEG C (1560 °F to 2010 °F).This double heating makes formed crystal become cardinal principle shape as described above, maximizes in the preferred orientations of the product generated for making dielectric strength.
Thisly comprise K 2mg 5si 8o 20f 4composition material (comprising such as micarex) crystallization along with crystal grain volume filling efficiencies increase and corresponding density increase and produce heat release discharge.The temperature of activity of conversion as the characteristic sum crystallization of nucleation, heat release discharge of rate, crystallization is Oil repellent and/or the B of insulator 2o 3the function of content.Therefore, insulator is processed to the chemical resistance making it possible to improve output, tensile strength, fatigue strength and/or dielectric strength and increase insulator by controlling these variablees.
Due to Design and implementation can be carried out to produce for typical elongated and/or directional crystal crystal grain (formed and be layered as more or less around such desired character: the inside diameter such as produced by the axle met for realizing this thermosetting or extruding) for the representative colony shown in 104B by oriented formation (comprise by precursor tube extruding become the tubing that diameter is less or wall is thinner), this provide the important new anisotropy result of maximum dielectric strength.
According to another embodiment, the method according to illustrated embodiment directed and/or compression crystal grain 634 at least in part can by by B 2o 3and/or fluorine adds to expect to become and compresses stressed surface relative to formed and the balanced stretch stress carried out in the substrate of the product heated.B 2o 3, fluorine or similar actuating agent this interpolation can with to add and the mode being diffused into dopant in the desired locations of semiconductor similar realizes.Can also be applied these and activate agent as the enrichment formula of the component formulation of movement by sputtering, gaseous phase deposition, spraying and/or cleaning.In addition, these are activated agent and can be represented and condensation reaction and producing by reactant.
Be positioned at the B expecting to become the surface of swage load or the material of near surface 2o 3the increase of content and/or Oil repellent makes the nucleation of fluormica crystal quicker.Compare the uncompressed substrate region of formula, this nucleation make larger quantity compared with lenslet with contend with by spreading the material added.Therefore, compare closer to passing through B 2o 3, fluorine and/or other of extra nucleation that produce fluormica crystal activate the constricted zone that agent have received the surface of enrichment, this process provides higher charging efficiency in uncompressed substrate region.Therefore, the surface compression preload expected is strengthened parts relative to ignition event and chemical agent.
Produce or improve another method of carrying out the compressive force balanced by the tension force in respective substrate and comprise and heating by the target area be placed in compression.Fully can heat target area, be dissolved into amorphous structure again to make crystal.Substrate can then quench, thus keeps most of amorphous structure fully.According to the type of involved parts, such heating can be carried out in stove.This heating also by the radiation from resistance heating source or induction heating source, and can pass through electron beam or laser.Another modification of this process is by heating and/or add crystallization nucleation and growth promoter (such as, B 2o 3and/or fluorine) provide comparatively lenslet or the crystal grain of larger quantity, to make local dissolution region Quick for recrystallization thus to produce the compressive stress expected.

Following reference Figure 27 A, Figure 27 A are the cross-sectional side views of the sparger 1500 according to another embodiment structure of the present disclosure.Shown sparger 1500 is particularly useful for using, to provide faster and fuel combustion more completely in the motor with the operation of high or low compression ratio.These fuel can comprise almost any combination of fuel characteristic, comprising such as temperature, one or more mixed-phase, viscosity, energy density and octane and cetane number (octane and cetane number comprising the standard well below traditional operation).In the embodiment shown, sparger 1500 comprises the some features with the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function broadly similar of the individual features of sparger mentioned above.Such as, sparger 1500 is included in the intermediate portion 1582 extended between bottom 1580 and spray nozzle part 1584.Sparger also comprises the actuator 1518 extending to fuel flow valve 1524 from driver 1515.
In the embodiment shown, not can both be delivered to sparger 1500 by ingress port 1502 by any fuel (diesel fuel such as, be made up of energy crop, animal tallow and/or other debirs) of spark ignition combustion.Fuel can flow along the fuel flow path of the some parts along sparger 1500.Such as, fuel can flow in bottom 1580 through instrument signal cable 1504, spring retainer cap 1580, Compress Spring 1508, optional magnet 1514, driver 1515 and the optional Compress Spring 1516 suitably strengthened.Fuel path continues through the path 1531 of high dielectric strength insulator body 1530 in intermediate portion, and enters in the hole of conductive coating or pipe 1522, to be transported to spray nozzle part 1584.In the embodiment shown, spray nozzle part 1584 comprises seat in the interface with firing chamber 1550, and this seat is sealed by logical normally closed Flow valve 1524.In some applications, coating or pipe 1522 can close to coatings in the region 1517 of firing chamber or be electroplate with high dielectric strength material 1520, for the object ensured with Flow valve 1524 or the electric conductivity from Flow valve 1524.In other applications, as what may need as the circuit block in spark and plasma igniting process, pipe coating 1520 can highly conductive or highly opposing igniting erosion.
Therefore, according to application, coating or pipe part 1522 can be conductive coatings on the hole of dielectric insulator 1530, conducting metal, pottery, polymer or provide the composite material of special valve seal in the interface with Flow valve 1524.This coating or pipe part 1522 and actuator 1518 and driver 1515 make sparger 1500 can have very little external diameter.This structure also allows sparger as desirably relatively long by the region with one or more overhead camshaft and valve operator in arrived.
Biasing member or thrust produce component such as, with reference to comprising the spring (comprising such as mechanical spring form, the cup spring of helix windings, circular cone winding, flat and curved vane or lamination blade, oval plate, distortion dish and various dish, formation) of the pulling force needed for can being configured to produce or thrust, magnet and/or piezoelectric part.In numerous applications, the combination of such selection effectively provides the service speed of expectation, resonates tuning and/or reduce less desirable characteristic.
In the embodiment shown, promote logical normally closed Flow valve 1524 by the tension force on the actuator 1518 that such as provided by Compress Spring 1508 and spring compressor 1506 to close relative to the valve seat 1521 of coating or pipe 1522.These springs can be attached to actuator 1518, thus in order to the object applying closed tension force on Flow valve 1524 mechanically the non-directional of limiting actuator 1518 advance.In addition, Flow valve 1524 can be provided with sharp annular feature, or can have relative to each other circumferentially isolated sharp ignition point.Conduction cabinet 1510 can be used as a part for the magnetic circuits of solenoid winding 1519 and driver 1515.Cabinet 1510 can also as the misoperation parts at interface extending to firing chamber.In the interface with firing chamber, cabinet 1510 can also comprise Novel interior ignition feature 1528, the sharp point such as radially-inwardly led, or annular concentric feature.In addition, at bottom 1580 place, sparger can comprise one or more groove and O type ring 1537, or adhesion compounds (such as polyurethane or epoxy resin) by fuel encapsulation in bottom 1580.
In operation, sparger 1500 can accommodate pressurized fuel by ingress port 1502.Fuel flows to logical normally closed Flow valve 1524 and is allowed to enter firing chamber by activating Flow valve 1524 by suitable forcer (such as piezoelectricity or the spiral piping arrangement of removable drive 1515) subsequently.Driver 1515 produces the power contrary with the tension force applied by spring 1508, and therefore allows fuel to enter firing chamber suddenly from spray nozzle part 1584.Can gap between ignition Characteristics 1528 and coating or pipe 1522, and/or be provided for any amount of setting of carrying high current intensity impulsive current in gap between Flow valve 1524 and ignition Characteristics 1528.Such as, such electric current can be delivered to movable conductors cable 1533 by insulated cable 1532, and movable conductors cable 1533 is attached to conductive coating above actuator 1518 or fiber, thus conducts electrical currents to Flow valve 1524.
Such operation can repeat under high frequency (comprising resonance tuned frequency), enters outburst to produce a series of fuel.These outbursts repeated can be applied to along with the sound power from piezoelectricity or magnetostrictive force in the outburst of each fuel.These power can comprise the power produced by the multi-functional embodiment of driver 1515.Such as, can be ionized by the one or many in one or more annular spaces of air between Flow valve 1524 and the ring part 1511 of immediate shell 1522 to produce and light a fire.Can continue to carry this ionized air from annular region 1517, with along with the guaranteed igniting being provided the fuel entering suddenly firing chamber 1550 by outwards the opening burner oil of Flow valve 1524.
Spark in relatively little gap between the ignition Characteristics 1528 being present in Flow valve 1524 and ring part 1511 at first produces and can trigger as U.S. Patent No. 4,122, capacitor discharge disclosed in 816 (being attached to herein by the mode quoted in full), with produce can subsequently surge to the plasma current being greater than 500 amperes, thus the plasma of the appearance moved outward of following valve 1524 is launched with supersonic speed and accelerates in firing chamber and impact and apply power to the outburst of layering supply fuel, for completing combustion process extremely rapidly.This launches igniting and accelerated combustion process can be sprayed outburst repetition adaptively by each fuel or produce adaptively, sprays the transmitting rapid-ignition of outburst for the continuous fuel be greater than once.
In some applications, plasma generation can by triggering timing and being formed by the ionization fuel molecule in the gap entered between sharp or sharpened surface or ignition Characteristics 1524 and 1528.Along with Flow valve 1524 continues outwards to open, ionization fuel molecule plasma be pushed into firing chamber with supersonic speed, with ensure and complete rapidly each fuel outburst burning.This is launched igniting process and can be regulated adaptively by each fuel injection outburst and repeated or develop the transmitting rapid-ignition being greater than continuous outburst once for sprayed fuel adaptively.Inventor has been found that under almost each velocity of piston, and the much bigger torque that the self adaption application of this rapid-ignition and combustion process all forms every caloric fuel value produces.
The supporting advantage of this plasma-thrust is: due to faster fuel spray, igniting and the appearance of perfect combustion process, fuel sprays and can start after top dead center place or top dead center, to reduce heat loss in compression process.Therefore, the operation that smooth engine ground is many, and the friction caused due to the heat loss causing the size of relative moving part to change and the friction that causes due to the degeneration of the composite lubricating film on especially cylinder wall and ring reduce.Therefore, extend cylinder and ring life-span, decrease heat loss, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce maintenance cost.
Figure 27 B is the sparger of Figure 27 A and the diagram of some combustion performancies of other sparger that constructs according to embodiment of the present disclosure.As shown in figure 27b, ignition by compression (the needing specific cetane number) needs of diesel fuel comparatively early start fuel under high pressure injection in compression stroke.Diesel liquid is cut into droplet and promotes far enough and permeate drop to enter compression and add hot air and need high pressure, carry out evaporated liquid fuel to obtain sufficient heat and continue to penetrate in other hot air, thus making the large molecules down of evaporated fuel become can start the Small molecular of combustion process.If air not yet fully heats, if and/or drop is little not, if and/or velocity of piston is too low or too high, then diesel fuel will penetrate into hardened area and heat will at combustor surface (such as, piston, cylinder wall and head components) scatter and disappear, and will unburned particulate and hydrocarbon be discharged---a part is wherein visible black smoke and another part is the comparatively small particle be especially harmful to lung and the cardiovascular system of human and animal.
Diesel oil curve 1956 show TDC before the part of Pressure Development.This part (before TDC) of pressure increase be " doing over again " and for spray compared with preignition and combustion incident starting point for larger.The starting point of higher velocity of piston, jet ignition comparatively early and burning must in order, to complete evaporation, cracking and combustion incident.In each stage that the diesel fuel of each burn cycle sprays, part flash evaporation, the cracking of being insulated most by hot surplus air of fuel and burn suddenly, to reach more than the temperature of 2200 DEG C (4000 °F), this temperature is the threshold value forming nitrogen oxide.
Comparatively speaking, according to the operation (as shown in curve 1958) of the integrated sparger/igniter constructed according to the disclosure, start and complete and burn all faster under all velocity of piston and operational condition and under pressure diagram, carry much more working zone (if not being all in power stroke, great majority are torque x rpm), to improve the fuel efficiency and horsepower of comparing diesel oil operation.Fuel can pass through comparatively MP major path and spray fast (comparing by much late after ignition by compression or TDC), thus completing burning quickly: this is because according to unfavorable result, (such as nitrogen oxide is formed, the overvoltage of critical engine parts or the heat loss caused due to the infiltration of insulating oxide agent encapsulating) create the entering air temperature that many outburst-multi fuel operate, any situation condition of air pressure or fuel type (especially comprising combustion characteristic) can both provide sufficient energy of plasma and/or gas to form (supercavitation) adaptively, to eliminate by the diesel-type high-pressure injection in little shearing aperture and to the needs of fuel by hot air infiltration prolongation distance, thus evaporation, cracked fuel is so that combustion fuel.In addition, sparger disclosed herein can reach 2200 DEG C (4000 °F) or combustion zone in peak combustion temperatures and exceedes surplus air insulation envelope and any multiple injections stopping fuel instantaneously arriving hardened area.Afterwards, can restart one or more other fuel spray, with realize the expectation of each operation cycle merit produce.In addition, sparger disclosed herein can reach any multiple injections of cutting out fuel instantaneously of preset maximum value at peak combustion pressure, damage and/or avoid the free radicals that caused by pressure or the unfavorable of compound to be formed (such as various nitrogen oxide) to avoid causing piston, connecting rod, bearing or bent axle.
Launch the smooth operation that rapid-ignition and combustion process are conducive to running through much bigger adjustment ratio, operate comprising to the such as instantaneous cylinder meeting as many multiple cylinder engine needed for load request.Such as, launch rapid-ignition to comprise the engine speed of the faster and much effective response of operator requirement (or cruise-control demand) for torque or increase.This expands the advantage that life-span of cylinder and ring longer and heat loss reduces further, thus is maintained as at fuel efficiency and decreasing pollution effulent and minimizing and present aspect provides huge improvement.
Pollutant effulent problem derives from " suddenly stop whipping " and " cold start-up " motor and catalytic reactor condition, under this condition, cannot obtain the catalysis trimming process of thermo-motor steady state operation.But another advantage of launching rapid-ignition and combustion process is the much clean waste gas under whole engine temperature (comprising such as cold engine or the motor being in " suddenly stopping whipping ").Therefore, under these problematic conditions, the operation cycle can be started when reducing the cost of the startup energy needed for the requirement of starting motor or conventional engines or eliminate.When not having and needing the tradition of the relatively large power consumpiton for ato unit, startup is provided to each cylinder enforcement transmitting rapid-ignition and combustion process that are in power stroke.Traditional action need crank ato unit, to make piston be moved back and forth by aspirating stroke, thus produces vacuum in gas handling system.Fuel is added in the vacuum of gas handling system, its object is to produce uniform homogeneous blend.Spark ignition must be carried out to any part of uniform homogeneous blend, and crank further rotates to make cam axle, thus the supply of homogeneous more or less produced in gas handling system along with hope is transferred to firing chamber and provides INO and exhaust valve close closed operation.Extra crank rotates for compressing uniform homogeneous blend more or less, and if rotated for supporting process of rework by top dead center condition relative to the more crank of the pressure produced when the igniting of uniform homogeneous blend realizes.No matter what kind of the energy may stayed in combustion gas is, this energy may be used in power stroke, provide positive work to produce, to maintain the startup of motor.
Similarly, diesel compression ignition motor according to disclosure conversion comprises transmitting rapid-ignition and combustion process at each cylinder, and the cylinder being in power stroke provides startup when not having the conventional need to the relatively large power consumpiton for ato unit.Traditional diesel engine compression ignition operation needs to use crank ato unit, to make piston be moved back and forth by aspirating stroke, thus by air transfer in gas handling system; Crank further rotates to make cam axle, thus is transferred to firing chamber along with the air from gas handling system and provides INO and outlet valve closed procedure; And extra crank rotates and is used for air compressing to adequate temperature, to make the diesel fuel evaporation of spraying under the high pressure caused because more crank rotates and cracking, thus the fuel of wishing to experience evaporation and cracking process mixes with more hot airs along with it and produces and light a fire; And more crank rotates and is used for supporting process of rework by top dead center condition and providing which kind of energy can stay in combustion gas, produces to realize enough positive works in power stroke the startup maintaining motor.

As hereafter described in further detail, in one embodiment, computer 3840 can receive the temperature information from firing chamber 3806 and the flywheel +/-acceleration information from bent axle 3850 in the operating process of motor 3800 simultaneously.Computer 3840 makes this information be correlated with, and makes it possible to only set up the chamber temperature on other similar motor based on flywheel +/-acceleration, and does not need firing chamber instrument.In another embodiment, computer 3840 receives the pressure information from firing chamber 3806 and the flywheel +/-acceleration information from bent axle 3850 in the operating process of motor 3800 simultaneously.Computer 3840 makes this information be correlated with, and makes it possible to only set up the chamber pressure on other similar motor based on flywheel +/-acceleration, and does not need firing chamber instrument.
Although embodiment mentioned above measures bent axle +/-acceleration, but it should be understood by one skilled in the art that piston 3804, corresponding camshaft, Timing Belt or timing chain and/or other parts any almost accelerated pro rata relative to the burning of the fuel 3820 in firing chamber 3830 in motor 3800 can both be equipped with instrument (instrumented) to make acceleration relevant to chamber temperature.In addition, the proportional output from the alternator or generator that are attached to motor 3800 also can be used in making +/-acceleration relevant to chamber temperature.In other embodiments, the condition that the detection of the stress/strain on one or more hook bolt, bolt of main bearing cap, connecting rod etc. can be used in making to cause nitrogen oxide to be formed is correlated with.Therefore, the disclosure is not limited to any specific embodiment for making system that parts acceleration is relevant to chamber temperature or method.
Figure 39 A shows the representative graph 3900a of the bent axle +/-acceleration of the function as crankshaft rotating according to embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 39 B shows the representative graph 3900b changed according to the chamber temperature of the function as bent axle +/-acceleration of another embodiment of the present disclosure.First with reference to Figure 39 A, Figure 39 00a is to the bent axle +/-acceleration along vertical shaft 3902 and measure along the crankshaft rotating of horizontal axis 3904.For quartastroke engine, the once circulation of motor occurs in the crankshaft rotating of 720 degree.As shown in curve 3990a, depend on the number of cylinders that such as specific engines may have, bent axle repeatedly replaces in an engine cycles between positive acceleration and negative acceleration (that is, retardation).Such as, four can have the bent axle +/-acceleration diagram similar to curve 3990a, and four peak accelerations are corresponding to four combustion incidents in four cylinders in single 720 degree of engine cycles.
It should be understood by one skilled in the art that Figure 39 00a merely illustrates a kind of specific engine construction, and other motor can have other bent axle +/-acceleration performance according to the factor of extensively change.Such as, if the load on motor reduces, then will expect that the peak acceleration of each in power stroke will increase, as shown in curve 3990b.On the contrary, the load increased on motor may make peak acceleration reduce.In addition, the fuel type of change, ignition timing, ambient temperature and multiple other factors also can affect the +/-acceleration model of given motor.
Following with reference to Figure 39 B, Figure 39 00b provides some bent axle +/-acceleration can how as the illustrated examples that the function of the chamber temperature of specific engines structure changes.In this illustration, first curve 3910a shows the change of bent axle +/-acceleration as the function of the peak combustion room temperature of relatively low engine loading, second curve 3910b shows the similar drawing of the engine loading of increase, and the 3rd curve 3910c shows the similar drawing of higher engine loading.As shown in curve 3910a-3910c, the bent axle positive acceleration of given peak combustion temperatures reduces along with the increase of the load on motor.In addition, although bent axle accelerates in response to the instantaneous increase in chamber temperature usually, multiple other factors equally also affects the relation between the bent axle +/-acceleration of specific engines and peak combustion room temperature.This factor can comprise load, fuel type, engine RPM, ignition timing etc. on such as motor.How the bent axle +/-acceleration that the figure that can prepare other shows the function of the chamber pressure as specific engines structure can change.

Return decision block 4108, if +/-crankshaft accelerations peak value display combustion temperature has reached the level that is understood to produce or cause nitrogen oxide to be formed by alternate manner (such as, 2200 DEG C), then routine forwards block 4110 to and regulates fueling injection pressure, fuel injection timing/endurance, ignition timing and/or other combustion parameter as required, keeps favourable power stage and fuel efficiency to reduce combustion temperature simultaneously.In one embodiment, these combustion parameters can change pro rata, to reduce the +/-acceleration of bent axle and to reduce peak combustion room temperature.In other embodiments, these parameters can change independently of one another or reciprocally.After regulating to reduce peak combustion temperatures to combustion parameter, routine returns block 4106 and carries out repetition.
Although the example of Figure 40 and Figure 41 relates to the coherence of chamber temperature and +/-acceleration, but those of ordinary skill in the art are to be understood that, in other embodiments, chamber pressure can be relevant to +/-acceleration in the similar approach preventing nitrogen oxide from being formed.
Method and system for processing coherence mentioned above can be applied to various engines, comprising internal-combustion engine, and such as rotary combustion engine, two strokes and four-stroke piston engine, free-piston engine etc.In addition, these method and systems by making to be insulated by the burning of excess oxygen agent (such as air) to provide the operation of this motor, thus can realize adiabatic combustion substantially.In one embodiment, this can realize in the following way: first fill firing chamber with oxygenant, then the same position occurred in igniting is added fuel and is supplied to provide the fuel combustion of one or more layering in excessive oxidant, thus makes the heat minimization being transferred to combustor surface.
An advantage of embodiment mentioned above is once +/-crankshaft accelerations is relevant to the peak combustion room temperature (or pressure) that specific engines constructs, then can control peak combustion room temperature and pressure by only monitoring bent axle +/-acceleration.More specifically, this means peak combustion temperatures to be limited to such as 2,200 DEG C or less, to avoid the formation of nitrogen oxide, and Actual combustion room temperature or pressure need not be measured in engine operation.Therefore, in this embodiment, motor can use the relatively simple sparger/igniter lacking temperature and/or pressure measurement capacity.The clean method from the prior art of the noxious emission of waste gas is absorbed in contrast, and the further benefit of method and system mentioned above is that it stops or at least reducing the formation of nitrogen oxide in source place (that is, in a combustion chamber).When the guarantee operated increases and undesirably produces nitrogen oxide, by combining, the data of the instrument from monitoring peak combustion temperatures and/or chamber pressure and/or acceleration and/or stress/strain data are detected and associate the redundancy approach providing engine control.In this embodiment, even if cover or lose one or more this instrument, remaining instrument still continues power operation to prevent nitrogen oxide by the information that coherence supply is sufficient.
