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 carry out supercharging for much higher compression ratio and/or 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 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.
Octane in traditional internal-combustion engine and cetane specified hydrocarbon fuel application produce pollutant effulent (such as unburned hydrocarbon, particulate, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) level 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 fuel drip of harmful number of times or the control of sufficient velocity of combustion thus realize the higher thermal efficiency, and it 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, the final un-throttled air that importantly allows enters firing chamber, thus directly spray gaseous state, burning is more clean and spend less fuel, and provides layering to supply burning substituting as gasoline and diesel oil (gasoline) fuel.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 from combustor surface momentum, ricochet or the detailed setting that springs back to spark gap, 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.

injection/ignition system
Fig. 2 shows the side view of the environment of a part for combustion system 200, and combustion system 200 has the fuel injector 210 constructed according to embodiment of the present disclosure.In the embodiment shown, the sparger 210 schematically shown merely illustrates the type being configured to spray in the firing chamber 202 of internal-combustion engine 204 and light different fuel of sparger.As shown in Figure 2, firing chamber 202 is formed in head (comprising sparger 210 and valve), movably between piston 201 and the internal surface of cylinder 203.But in other embodiments, sparger 210 can use in other environment together with the firing chamber of other type and/or energy delivery means, comprises various blade, axis and radial piston decompressor and polytype rotary combustion engine.As hereafter described in further detail, sparger 210 comprises some such features: these features not only allow spray in firing chamber 202 and light different fuel, also makes sparger 210 or can require spray adaptively and light these different fuel according to different combustion conditions.Such as, sparger 210 comprises one or more insulating material, and these insulation construction become to make it possible to carry out high-energy ignition, with the different fuel type that burns, comprise the fuel of unrefined fuel or low energy densities.These insulating material are also configured to bear the different mal-condition needed for fuel type of burning, comprising such as high voltage, fatigue, impact, oxidation and corrosion degradation.
According to another aspect of illustrated embodiment, sparger 210 can comprise the instrument for sensing the various combustion performancies (such as, performance, the performance of firing chamber 202, the performance etc. of motor 204 of combustion process) in firing chamber 202 further.In response to the condition that these sense, sparger 210 can be optimized fuel adaptively and spray and firing characteristic, to realize the increase that fuel efficiency improves and power produces, and reduce noise, engine knock, heat loss and/or vibration, thus extend motor and/or vehicle ages.In addition, sparger 210 also comprises actuating member to inject fuel in firing chamber 202, to realize the specific flowing of sprayed fuel or spray pattern 205 and phase place.Such as, sparger 210 can comprise one or more valves at the interface being positioned proximate to firing chamber 202.The actuating member of sparger 210 provides the operation of accurate, the high frequency of valve, to control at least following characteristics: fuel sprays the timing starting and complete, the timing of frequency that fuel repeatedly sprays and endurance and/or ignition event and selection.
Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 D shows and can carry out some fuel burst mode 305 (being represented by first to fourth mode 3 05a to 305d respectively) of spraying by the sparger constructed according to embodiment of the present disclosure.As one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate, shown mode 3 05 only represents embodiments more of the present disclosure.Therefore, the disclosure is not limited to the mode 3 05 shown in Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 D, and in other embodiments, sparger can perform the burst mode different from shown mode 3 05.Although the mode 3 05 shown in Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 D has different shapes and structure, these mode 3s 05 share the feature with orderly fuel bed 307.The independent layer 307 of corresponding mode 3 05 provides the relatively large benefit of the S/V of sprayed fuel.These larger S/Vs provide the higher rate of burning of fuel supply, and contribute to insulation and the acceleration of clean-burning fuel supply.Slowly combustion fuel supply of comparing with burning completely fast like this provides some advantages.Such as, more slowly combustion fuel supply needs to light a fire earlier, causes a large amount of heat loss to combustor surface, and generation is more done over again (back work) or Driving Torque loses to overcome the early stage pressure caused owing to lighting a fire earlier.These burn operations are formerly subject to pollutant effulent (such as, being rich in the hydrocarbon particulate of carbon, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, quenching and unburned hydrocarbon etc.) and piston, ring, cylinder wall, harmful heating of other parts of valve and firing chamber and the puzzlement of wearing and tearing equally.
Therefore, alternative traditional sparger, glow plug or spark plug (such as, diesel fuel injectors, spark plug etc. for gasoline) and developed the ability of complete rated power by miscellaneous recyclable fuel (such as hydrogen, methane and the fuel alcohol of various cheapnesss manufactured by the sewage that can extensively obtain, rubbish and crops and animal wastes) is provided according to system of the present disclosure and sparger.Although the fossil fuel that the energy density of these recyclable fuels is compared through refining may be little by about 3,000 times, system of the present disclosure and sparger can spray and light these recyclable fuels and produce for effective energy.

In certain embodiments, be provided by the safety check 3084 of substantially transparent as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 to the optical fiber tube bank below flow control valve 3074 or the protection of cable 3060.According to an embodiment, exemplary quick-make safety check comprises the ferromagnetic element be encapsulated in transparent body.The combination of this function can be provided by the various geometrical shapies comprising the ferromagnetic dish in transparent plate as shown in the figure or the ferromagnetic ball in hyaloplasmic sphere.In operation, such geometrical shape makes safety check 3084 can arrive logical normally closed position under the effect of magnetic force, thus as shown in figure very near the end of flow control valve 3074 and cable 3060.When flow control valve 3074 is promoted to provide fuel to flow, open position in the stressed arrival wellhole of safety check 3084 thus safety check 3084 is remained in crossed grooves 3088, crossed grooves 3088 allows fuel through safety check 3084 and flows through magnetic valve seat 3090 by groove 3088, thus shows that the very high surface of the fuel of the air entered in firing chamber and volume permeate (hereafter discussing) as shown in figures 12 and 14.Therefore, cable 3060 continues through the radiation frequency that receives and be conveyed through safety check 3084 to monitor firing chamber event.According to All aspects of of the present disclosure, the suitable material for the hyalomere of safety check 3084 comprises sapphire, quartz, heat-resistant polymer and is transparent pottery for the interested frequency of monitoring.
In general, expect to produce maximum torque by minimum fuel consumption.In the objectionable region of the nitrogen oxides emissions of such as crowded avenue, self adaption fuel sprays and ignition timing provides peak torque and do not allow peak combustion temperatures to reach 2,200 DEG C (4,000 °F).Determine that an exemplary approach of peak combustion temperatures is the flame temperature detector by utilizing small diameter fiber cable 3060 or larger transparent insulator 3072.Insulator 3072 can by heat-resisting and anti abrasive coating manufacture, such as, sapphire on the face, firing chamber of high temperature polymer or diamond coatings, or pass through quartz, sapphire or glass manufacture for the function combined in sparger 3028, comprising the sensor 3062D of the radiation produced by burning by light pipes transmit controller 3062 extremely as shown in the figure.In addition, with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, controller 3062 and/or 3043 monitors the signal from the sensor 3062D in each firing chamber, with fuel metering injection adaptively and/or spark ignition timing, thus prevents nitric oxide production formation.
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 as shown in the figure and/or radiation detection, expansion, exhaust, air inlet, fuel.Therefore, with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, carry out the time residing for temperature when the temperature of sensor 3040 and/or sensor 3062D and/or sensor 3062P and corresponding pressure signal burns by chamber pressure with temperature and fuel immediately, piston position is associated, and is 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 3404 (being shown in Figure 14).Afterwards, engine exhaust heat is reclaimed by the heat exchanger shown in Figure 14 and sparger 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 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 or take hydrogen as the gas of feature.In operation, in the time that cold engine starts, valve open and hydrogen or with hydrogen be the fuel of feature by valve flow to pressure regulator and sparger 3028, with provide motor 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 and Fig. 8 B 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.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 ball 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.
In relatively large engine application, for high speed engine operation, and under expecting that the electric current in Circular Winding 3126 needs and heat produces minimized situation, expect the movement of mechanical cam actuating and plunger 3116 and the solenoid-operated of ball 3112 to combine especially.This makes the elementary movement of plunger 3116 can be provided by the camshaft of the camshaft 3212 of such as Fig. 9.After setting up the initial valve action of ball 3106 for being enough to the fuel area density making the race of engine by cam action, being continued relative to retainer 3122 non-movable piston 3116, " normal ETAD expected time of arrival and departure " to be increased by the relatively little current flowing owing to producing in Circular Winding 3126 provides the increase of fuel area density and power generation.Therefore, the normal ETAD expected time of arrival and departure extending plunger 3116 by the solenoid action of opening fast of the ball 3106 realized by the cam action of following as shown in Fig. 8 A, Fig. 8 B, Fig. 9 and Figure 12 provides guaranteed valve operate and the accurate control of power to increase.
According to All aspects of of the present disclosure, the motor with multiple firing chamber is provided with the accurate timing conveying of fuel by the arrangement unit valve of the embodiment 3200 shown in the exemplary fuel control circuit layout of such as Fig. 9.Under this illustrative case, six unit valve (3100) are located with equal angular separation in housing 3202.Housing 3202 provides pressurized fuel by manifold 3204 to each unit valve entrance 3206.The cam be shown on camshaft 3212 activates each push-rod assembly 3210 off and on, to provide the precision flow of fuel from entrance to outlet 3208 (corresponding to 3110 of Fig. 8 B), thus by fuel directly or be delivered to suction valve port and/or the firing chamber of expectation by the sparger/igniter such as shown in Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Figure 10.In certain embodiments, housing 3202 preferably carries out Automatic adjusument relative to the Angle Position with camshaft 3212, to provide spark and injection advance in response to the adaptive optimization algorithm provided by controller 3220 as shown in the figure.
In certain embodiments, controller 3220 and the parts that are associated preferably can provide the generation of the efficiency of adaptive optimization as engine components of the fuel area density of each firing chamber and spark ignition event, power, smooth operation degree, failure safe provide and the further improvement in working life.Controller 3220 record sensor instruction with determine each cylinder torque produce between time, thus derive positive engine acceleration and negative engine acceleration are sprayed as self adaption fuel and the function of spark ignition data, to determine the adjustment needed for power operation result optimizing expectation.
In general, expect to produce maximum torque by minimum fuel consumption.But in the objectionable region of the nitrogen oxides emissions of such as crowded avenue, self adaption fuel sprays and ignition timing provides peak torque and do not allow peak combustion temperatures to reach 2,200 DEG C (4,000 °F).This is realized by shown embodiment of the present disclosure.
The determination of peak combustion temperatures is preferably by utilizing the flame temperature detector of small diameter fiber cable or larger transparent insulator 3072 as shown in Figure 10 to provide.In certain embodiments, insulator 3072 is by heat-resisting and anti abrasive coating manufacture, such as, sapphire on the face, firing chamber of high temperature polymer or diamond coatings, or by quartz, sapphire or glass manufacture for the function combined in sparger, comprising the sensor 3062D of the radiation produced by burning by light pipes transmit controller 3043 and/or 3432 extremely as shown in the figure.Such as, controller 3043 monitors the wireless signal from the sensor 3062D in each firing chamber, with fuel metering injection adaptively and/or spark ignition timing, thus prevents the formation of nitrous oxide or other nitrogen oxide.
In certain embodiments; preferably provide foundry goods or injection mould polymer insulation via for high voltage wire 3068 by the hole 3064 that photoconductive tube 3072 is arranged, high voltage wire 3068 is protected and is sealed the wire 3068 of contiguous instrument 3062D and 3062P, nozzle 3070 and controller 3062 and the insulated wells 3066 formed as shown in the figure.In other embodiments; this identical insulator is preferably used to form another insulator well 3066 similar to well 3050, for the electrical connection of protection and control device 3062 in the position of contiguous well 3050 (but be positioned at below well 3050 and rotate from well 3050).
In single rotor or the application of single cylinder, the controller 3062 of solid state is as shown in Figure 10 utilized to provide the optical monitoring of firing chamber event may be preferred in some high speed engine embodiment.Controller 3062 be similar to or proximity sense 3062D position face in be preferred in conjunction with one or more pressure transducer 3062P for producing the signal proportional with chamber pressure same.In certain embodiments, pressure transducer 3062P monitors and contrasts air inlet in firing chamber, compression, power and exhaust events and provide contrast basis to spray for fuel as shown in the figure and the self adaptive control of ignition timing.
According to an embodiment, for providing an option of fuel metering and igniting management to be provide " elapsed time " endurance for the idle running of motor by the camshaft 3212 shown in Fig. 9.In certain embodiments, cam position can by utilizing the push rod of such as 3112 and/or being come away from valve member 3106 by rocking arm, for the particular geometry of the further self adaption met needed for restoration and reuse and new engine design.The increase that engine speed and power produce provides " the often opening " time by increasing plunger 3116, push rod 3112 and ball 3106 by the low power current flowing through Circular Winding 3126 for the increase initially through fuel delivery time section afterwards at the camshaft 3212 rotated.This provide the machinery of combination and Mechatronic Systems to produce engine speed and the power of FR expectation.

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 injection apparatus 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 injection apparatus 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 injection apparatus 3428 or solenoid armature), valve actuating operations device and flow control valve 3584 electrical separation but with flow control valve 3584 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 3584 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 3584 produces plasma discharge, the igniting of the fuel sprayed occurs.

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 Isosorbide-5-Nitrae 00 DEG C (such as, 2,550 °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 (Isosorbide-5-Nitrae 70 °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 1,100 DEG C (1,560 °F to 2,010 °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 the conductive coatings on the hole of dielectric insulator 1530, or 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 discharge unburned particulate and hydrocarbon--a part wherein as visible black smoke and another part as the comparatively small particle be especially harmful to lung and the cardiovascular system of human and animal.
Diesel oil curve 1596 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 2,200 DEG C (4,000 °F) temperature, this temperature forms the threshold value of nitrogen oxide.
Comparatively speaking, according to the operation (as shown in curve 1598) 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 insulating oxide agent infiltration) 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 2 in peak combustion temperatures, and 200 DEG C (4,000 °F) or combustion zone exceed surplus air insulation envelope and arrive any multiple injections stopping fuel instantaneously of 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.
Referring again to Figure 27 A, instrument and signal cable 1504 can have extra reinforcing in the intermediate section 1518 between the attached or mechanical strokes retainer in spring compressor 1506 and fuel valve 1524.This reinforcing can comprise and in mechanical strokes stop collar 1512, applies steering force by driver 1515, to provide sufficient tension force, fatigue and dielectric strength to ensure that stable operation is for very long working life.The instrument cable 1526 being positioned at interface, firing chamber can have following characteristic, such as, at movement, the temperature and pressure of the interface, firing chamber of valve 1524.This instrument can also provide the wireless telecommunications with the microprocessor 1539 and/or the outside be positioned to away from cabinet 1510 or another microprocessor be positioned on the outside of cabinet 1510 or computer 1540 that are positioned at sparger 1500.
Can process from the dsc data (comprising infrared frequency, visible frequencies and ultraviolet frequencies) of the gaseous state of firing chamber, plasma and solid state surface and pressure and acceleration information, and by transmission in radio node and actuator 1518 and/or the integrated of fiber of conduction transmit.Such as, actuator 1518 can comprise suitable instrument (such as transducer) for microprocessor 1539 communication, and/or extend to long-range microprocessor or computer 1540 by cable 1504 through suitable Sealing.
Can utilize suitable energy conversion device or such as photovoltaic, thermoelectricity, electromagnetism, electrically and the combination of the device of piezoelectric generator provide power for the sensor node that can carry out operating to the frequency of gigahertz with kilohertz.Such as the system of TinyOS (the free and open operation system based on source block for wireless sensor network and platform in U.C.Berkeley exploitation) can be conducive to these operations.This operating in can be utilized to start after particular event occurs and to help relay, system to export and/or the favourable operation of alarm.This comprises the event that can be detected by the instrument in spray nozzle part 1584, or the event that can be detected by the transducer and signal analyzer 1535 that may comprise pressure and the optical data transmitted by functional coupling or transparent insulator 1530 (or passing fiber or the path of insulator 1530).
These combinations are conducive to machinery and the dielectric strength of the abundance of assembling part, produce energetic plasma with the parts made it possible to by having very little size.There is provided multifunction valve to be especially helpful, multifunction valve carries out moving thus causes plasma emission and forbid relatively not refining from operable and spend ash and the relict sediment fouling of few fuel.This benefit can also be provided by the coordinated groups of Flow valve as herein described and safety check is incompatible, the synergistic combination of Flow valve and safety check provides the obstruction of the pressure coming from burning, and under interface, firing chamber provides fuel to control thus eliminates the fuel droplet in undesirably time or drippage.
Can by adding the reagent that provide mobility detect and combustion process to describe to fuel and preferred heat signature (thermal signature) provide the further advantage being beneficial to instrument process, for the object of control combustion process and/or combustion peak temperature.In operation, this additive is transferred with the miscible agent of some given frequency transmitting photon or colloidal suspension using relatively small amount as along with being heated, ionizing or deionize.That grind or can be stored by the transition metal that alternate manner is activated and combine with by the carbon monoxide provided according to the heat absorption reaction of fuel storage embodiment of the present disclosure, or formation hydroxy compounds, hydroxy compounds can be utilized as another race's additive, for the radiation indicator as ignition and combustion process event.In alternate ways, can preparing and store one or more selected transition metal hydroxy compounds (such as manganese or iron), selecting for being added into utilized fuel continuously or aperiodically.Illustratively, this kind of or multiple additive of manganese, iron, nickel, boron, sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium or silicon that provides of this organic or inorganic material normally has the agent of different discharge signature (object for this mobility and temperature or process rate describe).This additive can be provided continuously or aperiodically from storage fuel tank, to calibrate, the transducer detected be moved to the igniting process of temperature and various reactant and combustion process product.Determination and analysis system utilizes this performance to determine temperature (temperature comprising avoiding the formation of nitrogen oxide), combustion process step and combustion process speed.These results can be utilized to produce comprehensive record of the stored count (such as the minimizing of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and Particulate Emission) of fuel efficiency improvement and benefit.

According to another aspect of illustrated embodiment, the second dielectric section 2344 is not that whole process extends to and firing chamber 2301 interfaces along spray nozzle part 2306.Therefore, spray nozzle part 2306 comprises the gap 2370 between engine body 2303 and the conductive part 2388 of sparger 2300, gap 2370 by voltage transmission to spray nozzle part 2306 for igniting.Gap 2307 in this spray nozzle part 2306 provides the space for capacitor discharge, for the plasma generation from spray nozzle part 2306.This electric discharge can remove or prevent at least in part protection (such as, oil) from depositing in the second dielectric section 2344, thus avoids the tracking of insulator 2340 or the degeneration of other type.
According to another feature of illustrated embodiment, sparger 2300 can comprise the second safety check 2330 and the Boilor check valve seat 2332 of the base portion 2302 being positioned at sparger 2300 further.In certain embodiments, safety check 2330 and Boilor check valve seat 2332 can comprise the magnetic portion (such as, permanent magnet) attracted each other.In operation, the power (such as, overcoming electromagnetic force or other suitable power of the attraction force of Boilor check valve seat 2332) putting on safety check 2330 makes safety check 2330 move away from Boilor check valve seat 2332, thus allows fuel to flow through sparger 2300.Owing to putting on safety check 2330 except non-force, safety check 2330 all can remain on operating position, if therefore power loss, then safety check 2330 can prevent fuel from flowing into or leaking in sparger 2330.
Figure 35 B is plan view, illustrated therein is the embodiment of the Flow valve 2350 at spray nozzle part 2306 place being positioned at sparger 2300 shown in Figure 35 A.As shown in Figure 35 B, valve 2350 can comprise multiple groove 2358 and/or opening 2357, to allow and/or to affect thus the flow of fuel.These grooves 2358 and opening 2357 can also allow sparger 2300 to sense chamber performance and condition by valve 2350.In addition, valve 2350 can be made up of material transparent at least partly, such as quartz or sapphire, to make it possible to monitoring chamber performance and condition.
Figure 36 A is the cross section partial side view of the spray nozzle part 2402 of sparger 2400 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure structure.In the embodiment shown, sparger 2400 comprises joint 2442, and cable or actuator 2440 are attached to first flow valve 2450 by joint 2442.First valve 2450 is the Flow valves inwardly opened, and the first valve 2450 is settled relative to valve seat 2452 when the first valve is in the close position.Spray nozzle part 2402 also comprises the second safety check 2460, second safety check 2460 to be settled relative to valve seat 2452 when the second valve 2460 is in the close position.Therefore, spray nozzle part comprises the intermediate volume 2456 between the first closed valve 2450 and the second valve 2460.Spray nozzle part 2402 also comprises igniting and flow regulator or covers 2470.In certain embodiments, spray nozzle part 2402 can also comprise one or more bias component, and one or more bias component is configured to transfer in the injection of row control for fuel to valve.These bias components can comprise such as spring (such as mechanical spring) and/or magnet (comprising permanent magnet).More specifically, first valve can comprise the first magnetic portion 2451 and each that can comprise in the second magnetic portion 2463, first magnetic portion 2451 and the second magnetic portion 2463 of the second valve 2460 can both be attracted towards corresponding 3rd magnetic portion 2454 of valve seat 2452 or be biased.In addition, cover 2470 and can also comprise the 4th magnetic portion 2472.But the 4th magnetic portion 2472 is relative with valve seat 2460 or be biased away from valve seat 2460 by alternate manner.Such as, valve seat 2460 can comprise the 4th magnetic portion 2472 that the 5th magnetic portion the 2462, five magnetic portion 2462 is biased away from lid 2470.Therefore, these offset part can contribute to valve to remain on its operating position.By providing restoring force to make these valves get back to its operating position more quickly at least in part, these offset part can improve valve further and activate.Shown in the parts (such as, actuator 2440, first valve 2450, valve seat 2452, second valve 2460 and/or lid 2470) of spray nozzle part can comprise various sensor and/or instrument for monitoring and communication chamber conditions and/or performance.
In operation, make actuator 2440 move up in the side represented by arrow 2439 make the first valve 2450 move away valve seat 2452 thus open the first valve 2450.Opening the first valve 2450 allows fuel to flow along the first fuel path 2444a, thus enters intermediate volume 2456.Along with fuel enters intermediate volume 2456, the pressure of fuel opens the second safety check 2460, makes fuel can leave intermediate volume 2456 along the second fuel path 2444b.Subsequently, fuel can flow beyond lid 2470, thus is injected in firing chamber.When its initial position got back to by actuator 2440, the first valve 2450 closes relative to valve seat 2452, thus fuel flowing is stopped.Along with the pressure drop in intermediate and 2456, the second valve 2460 closes relative to valve seat 2452, thus prevents the drippage of any fuel from spray nozzle part 2402.Therefore, the fast actuating of actuator 2440 can realize the accurate fuel outburst from spray nozzle part 2402.
Figure 36 B is the plan view of the sparger of Figure 36 A, illustrated therein is the igniting and flow regulator or lid 2470 that construct according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.Shown lid 2470 comprises groove 2474, for fuel flowing as described in detail above and firing chamber monitoring.In addition, cover 2474 and can comprise the isolated ignition part 2476 of multiple circumference, so that lighted a fire by engine cylinder cover.
Figure 37 is the cross-sectional schematic side view of the system 2500 according to another embodiment structure of the present disclosure.In the embodiment shown, system 2500 comprises integrated fuel injector/igniter 2502 (such as, according to the sparger of any embodiment of the present disclosure), firing chamber 2506, one or more non-throttling air flow valve 2510 (being represented by the first valve 2510a and the second valve 2510b respectively) and energy conversion device or piston 2504.As described in detail above, sparger 2502 is configured to the stratiform of fuel 2520 or layering supply to be ejected in firing chamber 2506.According to an aspect of illustrated embodiment, system 2500 is configured to spray and fire fuel 2520 in abundant or excessive oxygenant 2530 (such as air).More specifically, system 2500 is configured so that valve 2510 made to keep in firing chamber 2506 external pressure or even positive pressure before combustion incident.Such as, system 2500 can be operated in not throttling or when not hindered in air flowing in combustion chamber by alternate manner, makes, before fire fuel 2520, can not produce vacuum in firing chamber 2506.Due to the external pressure in firing chamber 2506 or positive pressure, excess oxide defines the insulation barrier 2530 (such as, cylinder wall, piston, engine cylinder cover etc.) on the surface of contiguous firing chamber.
In operation, stratiform or layered fuel 2520 are ejected in firing chamber 2506 when having excessive oxidant by sparger 2502.In certain embodiments, can be at piston 2504 or to spray by during top dead center position.But, in other embodiments, sparger 2502 can before piston 2504 arrives top dead center burner oil 2520.Stratiform supply 2520 is sprayed (such as because sparger 2502 is configured to self adaption as described above ground, broken out by the Quick multi-layer between the unexpected gasification of fuel, plasma emission fuel, the ignition event realized such as excessively cold by spraying), therefore fuel 2520 is configured to the rapid-ignition when having insulation barrier 2530 of oxygenant and perfect combustion.Therefore, the impact of the heat that insulation barrier 2530 protects the wall of firing chamber 2506 not discharged when fuel 2520 is lighted a fire by fuel 2520, thus avoid the wall of heat loss to firing chamber 2506.Therefore, the heat discharged by the rapid combustion of fuel 2520 is converted into merit thus driven plunger 2504, instead of is converted thus scatters and disappears in combustor surface.In addition, in the embodiment of sparger 2502 injection and/or fire fuel after piston 2504 passes through top dead center, all energy discharged by the rapid combustion of fuel 2520 are all converted into merit and carry out driven plunger 2504, and without any the loss caused owing to doing over again, because piston has been in or has exceeded top dead center.But, in other embodiments, sparger 2520 can before piston 2504 is in top dead center burner oil.
Figure 38 A is the cross-sectional side view of the sparger 3800 according to another embodiment structure of the present disclosure.Sparger 3800 comprises the some features with the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function broadly similar of the individual features of the sparger be described above with reference to Fig. 1 to Figure 37.Such as, sparger 3800 comprises first or the base portion 3802 relative with second or spray nozzle part 3804.Sparger 3800 is also included in the sleeve or body 3808 that extend between base portion 3802 and spray nozzle part 3804.Body 3808 holds dielectric section by sparger 3800 longitudinal extension or dielectric plastid insulator 3810.Hereafter be described in detail about the material of body insulator 3810 and/or the further details of formation.Body insulator 3810 comprises by conductor openings 3812 that is wherein longitudinal and Central places extension.Conductor openings 3812 is configured to allow electrode or electric conductor 3814 to extend to base portion 3802 by sparger 3800 from spray nozzle part 3804.Such as, conductor 3814 can be attached to energy source (such as voltage source), to provide ignition energy to the one or more electrode of nozzle tip or ignition Characteristics 3816 that are positioned at spray nozzle part 3804.Conductor 3814 can also comprise one or more optical monitoring fiber by wherein longitudinal extension or feature 3818.Optical monitoring feature 3818 is configured to detect or sense chamber performance by alternate manner and will relate to the data transmission of these performances to controller or processor.
Base portion 3802 also comprises dielectric base portion insulator 3807, and dielectric base portion insulator 3807 is configured to hold the high voltage being supplied to base portion 3802 by conductor 3814.Such as, base portion insulator 3807 can carry out Jie's electric insulation to the receiver 3809 of accommodating conductor 3814 in base portion 3802.Forging, soldering, welding or application tackiness agent (such as epoxy resin) can be passed through or by other suitable encapsulating method any or Compound Phase, ferromagnetic forcer housing or shell 3820 pairs of base portion insulators 3807 are sealed further.When be desirably in contact area 3813 pairs of forcer shells 3820 carry out production line soldering or the welding of base portion insulator 3807 when, or can be reduced by the local hydrogen of alternate manner contact area 3813 is metallized by the mask of cupric oxide and/or silver oxide.Alternatively, can be electroplated by other suitable interface differential technique contact area territory 3813, comprising such as sputtering or vapor deposition.
According to the further feature of illustrated embodiment, base portion 3802 comprises the forcer 3806 (such as, suitable pneumatic, hydraulic pressure, o, piezoelectric part etc.) being positioned at forcer shell 3820.Shell 3820 comprises the fuel inlet 3822 being connected to fuel coupling 3826, to be received shell 3820 from fuel source by fuel.Shell 3820 also comprises fuel outlet 3824, and to allow fuel to leave shell 3820 by valve assembly 3828, valve assembly 3828 is shown in greater detail in Figure 38 B.
More specifically, Figure 38 B is the amplification detailed view of the valve assembly 3828 of sparger 3800.Simultaneously with reference to Figure 38 A and Figure 38 B, forcer fuel outlet 3824 allows fuel to flow into valve pocket 3830 from forcer shell 3820.Valve pocket 3830 surrounds can in response to the Flow valve 3832 (such as ferromagnetic valve) of movement from the induced force of forcer 3806.Valve 3832 also comprises the one or more valve fuel passage 3834 extending through valve 3832.Valve fuel passage 3834 is configured to allow fuel to flow through valve 3832, thus leaves path 3836 by fuel and leave valve pocket 3830.In the embodiment shown, valve fuel passage 3834 extends through valve 3832 with the tilt angle of the longitudinal axis relative to sparger 3800 (be at least substantially equal to fuel and leave the tilt angle of path relative to the longitudinal axis of sparger 3800).But in other embodiments, valve fuel passage 3834 and fuel leave path 3836 and can extend with other angle relative to longitudinal axis.Fuel leaves path 3836 and is attached to one or more insulator fuel flow channels 3840 along insulator 3810 longitudinal extension between body 3808 and insulator 3810 further.Hereafter the further feature of insulator fuel channel 3840 is described in detail.
According to another feature of illustrated embodiment, valve assembly 3828 also comprises attraction or makes valve 3832 be biased to the magnetic-attraction element 3838 (such as, magnet, permanent magnet etc.) of primary importance or operating position by alternate manner.Valve assembly 3832 optionally can also comprise the biasing member 3839 (such as, spring, spiral compression spring etc., be schematically shown in Figure 38 B) promoting valve 3832 towards operating position.
In the operating process of valve assembly 3828, forcer 3806 produces power, to make valve 3832 between operating position and the second place or open position fast and repeatedly move.Such as, in the embodiment shown, valve 3832 shows in the close position, makes valve 3832 prevent fuel from leaving path 3836 by fuel and leaves fuel cavity 3830.Along with valve 3832 is opened by moving towards base portion 3802, the fuel in fuel cavity 3830 can around valve 3832 flow or via valve fuel passage 3834 by valve 3832.After passing through valve fuel passage 3834, fuel can leave path 3836 by fuel and leave fuel cavity 3830, thus is transferred to spray nozzle part 3804 by insulator fuel channel 3840.
Application that the valve 3832 being positioned at base portion 3802 place is activated is used for (such as at solenoid force generator 3806 assembly, piezoelectricity, pneumatic, hydraulic pressure or mechanical linkage) in, solenoid force generator 3806 can cause operating extremely fast of ferromagnetic valve 3832 by applying 24VDC to 240VDC to insulation winding.This serve according to operator scheme work cycle about 3% to 21% short time produce the object of unexpected high electric current and valve actuation force, or therefore to make because transfer of heat can cool the parts of forcer 3806 to the fuel flowing through forcer 3806.
Referring again to Figure 38 A, insulator fuel channel 3840 extends longitudinally through insulator 3800 along the outer surface of insulator 3810.Therefore, insulator fuel channel is conducive to fuel flows through sparger 3800 between insulator 3810 and body 3808.Sparger 3800 also comprises the deformable or resilient sleeve valve 3842 that are positioned at spray nozzle part 3804.More specifically, telescoping valve 3842 is coaxially arranged on insulator 3810, thus between insulator 3810 and body 3808.At spray nozzle part 3804 place, body 3808 is configured to extend until Sealing 3844 (such as, O type ring or similar Sealing) in the port of firing chamber.But telescoping valve 3842 extends beyond Sealing 3844 towards firing chamber.As described in detail below, resilient sleeve valve 3842 is used as to allow fuel responsive hydraulic pressure sufficient in sparger 3800 or pressure gradient and leaves the deformable elongated valve of spray nozzle part 3804.Such as, insulator fuel channel 3840 is tapered along insulator 3810 close to spray nozzle part 3804 or becomes less by alternate manner along with insulator fuel channel 3840.Therefore, insulator fuel channel 3840 by fuel area density to spray nozzle part 3804, but telescoping valve 3842 seals relative to insulator 3810, spray to prevent fuel, until valve assembly 3828 produces sufficient pressure gradient in the upstream of telescoping valve 3842, thus telescoping valve 3842 is made to be out of shape at least in part and to produce annular opening for burner oil around insulator 3810.Therefore, insulator 3810 and other spargers some as herein described provide the advantage having more than one fuel flow rate and control.Such as, in the embodiment shown, first or primary fuel flow that valve assembly 3828 provides in response to actuation force control, and telescoping valve 3842 provides (such as, hydraulic pressure) the secondary flow control in response to the fuel pressure in sparger 3800.
In certain embodiments, telescoping valve 3842 can be made up of suitable high-strength polymer (such as polyamide-imides (Torlon) or have the same with thermosetting compound material that Kapton, glass fibre and/or graphite strengthens).In other embodiments, telescoping valve 3842 can be metal and be made up of aluminium, titanium, alloyed steel or other suitable metallic material.In addition, port sealing piece 3844 can by elastic material (such as, FKM, fluorine rubber and/or fluorosioloxane rubber elastomer) make, to seal body 3808 relative to the gas produced in firing chamber and/or relative to engine lubricant at spray nozzle part 3804 place.
Figure 38 C to Figure 38 E is a series of cross-sectional side views that sparger 3800 is positioned at the various positions along insulator 3810.More specifically, Figure 38 C is the cross-sectional side view of the sparger 3800 of the line 38C-38C intercepting of basic 38A along the line.As shown in Figure 38 C, at this along the position of insulator 3810 close to base portion 3802, insulator fuel channel 3840 is relatively large with reference to insulator 3810.Such as, insulator fuel channel 3840 forms roughly recessed or arc recess in the outer surface of the internal surface of the contiguous body 3808 of insulator 3810.But in other embodiments, insulator fuel channel 3840 can have other cross-sectional profile or shape, comprising such as bending, straight line and/or other shape.Although shown embodiment comprises six insulator fuel channels 3840, in other embodiments, insulator 3810 can comprise the insulator fuel channel 3840 greater or less than six.According to another feature of illustrated embodiment, conductor 3814 extends through the conductor openings 3812 in insulator 3810.In addition, optical monitoring fiber or feature 3818 extend longitudinally through conductor 3814.
Following is the cross-sectional side view intercepted along the line 38D-38D substantially along Figure 38 A with reference to Figure 38 D, Figure 38 D.In this roughly middle position along insulator 3810, insulator fuel channel 3840 reduces or is tapered, with in insulator 3810 and the internal surface of contiguous body 3808 forms relatively little recess or passage.Such as, the size of the independent insulator fuel channel 3840 shown in comparison diagram 38C, insulator passage 3840 independent in Figure 38 D is less and relative to each other spaced apart.
Following is substantially along the cross-sectional side view that the line 3E-3E at spray nozzle part 3804 place of the sparger 3800 of Figure 38 A intercepts with reference to Figure 38 E, Figure 38 E.In this position along sparger 3810, insulator fuel channel no longer exists or compares and significantly reduces along other position closer to base portion 3802 of insulator 3810 or be tapered.In addition, in this position along insulator 3810, resilient sleeve 3842 is coaxially arranged around insulator (such as, between insulator 3810 and body 3808) and seals.Therefore, referring again to Figure 38 A, insulator passage 3840 extends towards spray nozzle part 3804 along insulator 3810 along with it and is tapered or reduces.At spray nozzle part 3804 place close to firing chamber, resilient sleeve valve 3842 usually closes around insulator 3810 and seals.
In operation, fuel is transported to insulator fuel channel 3840 from the valve assembly 3828 base portion 3802.The pressurization of fuel in insulator fuel channel 3840 makes the telescoping valve 3842 being positioned at spray nozzle part 3804 place expand or be out of shape, and therefore produces annular opening around insulator 3810, to inject fuel in firing chamber.After fuel injection event, the pressure drop in insulator passage 3840, gets back to usually position that is closed or sealing to allow telescoping valve 3842 relative to the cylindrical portion of insulator.
According to some embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided in portion's section of dielectric plastid insulator thickness of 1.8mm (0.071 ") between the outer surface being less than electric conductor 3814 and insulator 3810 and be in direct current and be greater than 80, the dielectric protection of 000 to hertz frequency.Applying high-frequency voltage thus when setting up ionic current or ion oscillation between the electrode and engine cylinder cap bore of ignition Characteristics 3816, copper or silver conductive layer can put on the outer surface of electrode 3814.Conductive layer can also be increased, to provide larger high-frequency electrical conductance by extra plating.But, in an alternative embodiment, litz wire braiding can be placed on the top of the monitoring feature 3818 (such as, optical fiber) in conductor 3814 core, to reduce resistance loss.
Body insulator 3810 and/or base portion insulator 3807 can be made up of glass material, and this glass material has following composition suitably according to the weight percentage in formula 1.These Jie's electro insulating materials can at suitable crucible (such as, platinum, silica, magnesium oxide or alumina material are selected) in carry out ball milling, thawing, and extrude, compre sion molding or be cast into and be applicable to heat again and the quality formed close to clean shape and size and shape.Formula 1 can comprise such as: SiO 224-48%; MgO 12-28%; Al 2o 39-20%; Cr 2o 30.5-6.5%; F 1-9%; BaO 0-14%; CuO 0-5%; SrO 0-11%; Ag2O 0-3.5%; NiO 0-1.5% and B2O3 0-9%.In another embodiment, when material melts at the temperature at least between roughly 1350 DEG C and 1550 DEG C in the platinum covered, aluminium oxide, magnesium oxide or silicon oxide crucibles, the alternative suitable composition according to the mass percent in formula 2 can be used.Formula 2 can comprise such as: SiO 231%; MgO 22%; Al 2o 317%; Cr 2o 32.2%; F 4.5%; BaO 13%; CuO 0.4%; SrO 9.5%; Ag 2o 0.3% and NiO 0.1%.
The tubular section forming these insulating material can be extruded by the melted material of thermosetting at the temperature between about 1050 DEG C to 1200 DEG C or cooling material.Slow cooling can be carried out: the casting of this quality is provided for hot extrusion and forms tubular or volume needed for other section or for being forged into the parts close to clean shape and size to such quality.This quality is heated to suitable temperature, for in such as thermosetting and being formed by the section shape that is squeezed into expectation and size between about 1050 DEG C to 1250 DEG C, and can by the suitable Making mold of such as refractory material (such as platinum, molybdenum or graphite).Extruding section can pass through the one or more suitable host crystal (such as, BN, B2O 3, AlF 3, B, AlB 2, AlB 12or AlN) dedusting, compare the larger lenslet of quantity in center region to produce in the surface area generated, because this reducing volume filling efficiencies, thus in surface area, provide compressive stress and provide tensile stress in center region.In addition, if necessary, can produce further developing of this compressive stress by elongating crystal in skin, elongating crystal is that the distortion that caused by mould by being forced to along with extruded article form less cross section and resistance cause.In other embodiments, such as the suitable host crystal (such as, B can passed through 2o 3or BN) compre sion molding or form more complicated shape and form, to produce similar compressive stress in nigh surface area in the refractory alloy of dedusting or black lead mould assembly.
Chemical formula and heat treated combination have been expected in traditional application, to produce machinable insulating material.But the disclosure achieves opposite effect.Such as, embodiment of the present disclosure finally creates the goods that can not may carry out due to really up to the mark cannot the cutting of surface area cutting, and it is characterized in that being had between the region of compressive stress or the compressive stress of the contiguous tensile stress balance had in the center section in the region of compressive stress.Therefore, this embodiment can overcome intrinsic traditional material problem (generation is designed to the material of the regional breakdown deliberately made near cutting tool stress application), thus makes it possible to form advanced chip, to provide machinability.Although this distinctive cracking initiation allows machinability, but it allows material adversely to enter insulating material equally inherently, such as organic compound (comprising engine lubricant, surface active agent, grease, sweat etc. on hand) enters this crack.This organic material finally can tend to dehydrogenation or become carbon donor by alternate manner, carbon donor then becomes conductive path subsequently, the various electrolyte imported in this crack can be traded off along this conductive path the dielectric strength of machinable ceramic goods, thus finally cause voltage protection failure.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, can be used in forming body insulator 3810 and/or base portion insulator 3807 according to another suitable composition of the weight percentage in formula 3.Such as, formula 3 can have following suitable weight percentage: SiO 230%, MgO 22%, Al 2o 318%, Cr 2o 33.2%, F 4.3%, BaO 12%, SrO 3.6%, CuO 4.9%, Ag 2o 1.3% and NiO 0.1%.In certain embodiments, after insulator pipe is extruded, insulator pipe flows through hole to decrease cupric oxide and/or silver oxide thus to produce the metal surface of copper and/or the alloy of silver and copper and be cooled to about 650 DEG C by hydrogen.After the conducting metal producing suitable thickness, by suitable source (such as from the radiation of induction heating pipe) or can be heated the outer surface of pipe by oxidizing flame (such as excess oxygen hydrogen flame), and the suitable crystallization of cloth (administered) and/or fineness agent can be executed to surface, to produce by the compressive stress of the equalization of strain in the region in the inside of insulation tube.
In the embodiment comprising the forcer 3806 with solenoid winding, the suitable insulation for the copper magnet wire of this application can comprise polyimide varnish on copper cash and aluminium coat.Can be oxidized aluminium coat or partial oxidation to produce aluminium oxide.This aluminium coat and oxidation can also combinationally use with polyimide or polyamide-imides and/or Parylene insulation film.Therefore, the ferromagnetic parts of base portion 3802 can guide the magnetic flux produced by the winding in forcer 3806 by ferromagnetic valve 3832, to make valve 3832 can action very fast.
