Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftstoffbehälter für einen komprimierten, gasförmigen Kraftstoff gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a fuel tank for a compressed, gaseous Fuel according to the preamble of claim 1.
Es sind bereits Kraftstoffbehälter bekannt, die mit einem unter Druck stehenden gasförmigen Kraftstoff gefüllt sind. Der Druck im Behälter liegt bei bis zu 200 bar für Gase, die unter Umgebungstemperatur im Kraftstoffbehälter enthalten sind. Zu diesen Gasen zählt komprimiertes Erdgas, das auch compressed natural gas, ab gekürzt CNG, genannt wird.There are already known fuel tanks with a pressurized gaseous fuel are filled. The pressure in the tank is up to 200 bar for gases contained in the fuel tank at ambient temperature. To Compressed natural gas, also called compressed natural gas, counts from these gases abbreviated CNG.
Bei bekannten CNG-Kraftstoffbehältern ist die Entnahmeöffnung für das Gas an der Seite ausgebildet. In den tieferliegenden Bereichen des Kraftstoffbehälters können sich die im Gas enthaltenen Schmutzanteile und Flüssigkeitsreste, wie z. B. Wasser, ansammeln. Durch die Schmutz- und Wasseransammlung wird das Volumen des Kraftstoffbehälters mit der Zeit kleiner. Die Korrosion des Kraftstoff behälters wird beschleunigt, da im Erdgas z. B. Schwefelkomponenten enthalten sind, die in Verbindung mit Wasser schwefelige Säuren bilden.In known CNG fuel tanks, the gas removal opening is on the side trained. In the lower areas of the fuel tank the dirt and liquid residues contained in the gas, e.g. B. Water, accumulate. Due to the accumulation of dirt and water Volume of the fuel tank smaller over time. Corrosion of the fuel container is accelerated because in natural gas z. B. contain sulfur components are, which form sulfuric acids in connection with water.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Kraftstoffbehälter zu schaffen, bei dem eine Ansammlung von Schmutz- und Flüssigkeitsresten verhindert ist.The object of the invention is to provide a fuel tank in which one Accumulation of dirt and liquid residues is prevented.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Leitung in den Bereich des Kraftstoffbehälters geführt, in dem es zu Ansammlungen von Schmutz- und Flüssigkeitsresten kommt. Von Vorteil ist, daß die Verunreinigungen mit dem Kraftstoff angesaugt, einer Verbren nungseinrichtung zugeführt und dort verbrannt werden.According to the invention, a line is led into the area of the fuel tank, in which dirt and liquid residues accumulate. From The advantage is that the contaminants sucked in with the fuel, a burn be supplied and burned there.
Diese Verbrennungsanlage ist in erster Linie z. B. ein Verbrennungsmotor eines Kraftfahrzeuges. Im Betrieb des Verbrennungsmotors wird somit an der kritischen Stelle des Kraftstoffbehälters das die Verunreinigungen enthaltene Gas abgesaugt. Bei längeren Fahrzeugstandzeiten, d. h. bei nichtlaufendem Verbrennungsmotor, kann es durch Wärmeeinfall in den Kraftstoffbehälter zu einem Druckanstieg kom men. Für diesen Fall ist ab der Überschreitung eines Grenzdruckes eine Einrich tung zum Abführen des Kraftstoffes am Behälter vorgesehen, die den Kraftstoff zu einer weiteren Verbrennungseinrichtung, beispielsweise einer Fahrzeugstand heizung abzweigt.This incinerator is primarily z. B. an internal combustion engine Motor vehicle. The operation of the internal combustion engine is therefore critical The gas contained in the contaminants is sucked out of the fuel tank. With longer vehicle downtimes, i.e. H. with the internal combustion engine not running, the heat in the fuel tank can lead to an increase in pressure men. In this case, a set-up is required when a limit pressure is exceeded device for discharging the fuel provided on the container, which the fuel to a further combustion device, for example a vehicle stand heating branches.
Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnungen beispielshalber beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the drawings described as an example. Show:
Fig. 1 einen Längsschnitt einer Prinzipdarstellung eines Kraftstoffbehälters und Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a schematic diagram of a fuel tank and
Fig. 2 eine Detailansicht der Fig. 1, die die Absaugstelle im Kraftstoffbehälter im vergrößerten Maßstab zeigt. Fig. 2 is a detailed view of Fig. 1, showing the suction point in the fuel tank on an enlarged scale.
Die Fig. 1 zeigt einen Kraftstoffbehälter 1, der mit einem komprimierten, gasför migen Kraftstoff 2, beispielsweise CNG, gefüllt ist. Der Druck im Kraftstoffbehälter 1 beträgt p₁ = 200 bar. Der Kraftstoffbehälter 1 weist eine Außenwand 3 auf, die gegenüber dem im Kraftstoffbehälter 1 vorherrschenden Druck p₁ ausreichend di mensioniert ist. In dem Kraftstoffbehälter 1 sind zwei Durchtrittsöffnungen 4 und 5 ausgebildet, durch die gasdicht jeweils entsprechende Abschnitte 7 und 8 einer Leitung 6 hindurchgeführt sind. Die Leitung 6 weist einen trichterförmigen Abschnitt 9 auf, dessen unteres offenes Ende 10 in einen Bereich 11 des Kraftstoffbehälters 1 hineinragt, in dem es vermehrt zu Ansammlungen von Flüssigkeits- und Schmutzresten 12 kommt. Fig. 1 shows a fuel tank 1 , which is filled with a compressed, gas-shaped fuel 2 , for example CNG. The pressure in the fuel tank 1 is p₁ = 200 bar. The fuel tank 1 has an outer wall 3 , which is sufficiently di dimensioned relative to the prevailing pressure p 1 in the fuel tank 1 . In the fuel tank 1 , two through openings 4 and 5 are formed, through which corresponding sections 7 and 8 of a line 6 are passed gas-tight. The line 6 has a funnel-shaped section 9 , the lower open end 10 of which protrudes into an area 11 of the fuel tank 1 , in which there is an increased accumulation of liquid and dirt residues 12 .
Über den Abschnitt 7 der Leitung 6 wird gasförmiger Kraftstoff 2 zu einem nicht dargestellten Verbrennungsmotor und über den Abschnitt 8 zu einer weiteren, nicht dargestellten Verbrennungseinrichtung abgeführt und dort verbrannt. In dem Ab schnitt 8 der Leitung 6 ist eine nicht dargestellte Einrichtung vorgesehen, die bei einem Grenzdruck p₀ den Abschnitt 8 der Leitung 6 öffnet, so daß Gas zu der wei teren Verbrennungseinrichtung abfließen kann.Via section 7 of line 6 , gaseous fuel 2 is discharged to an internal combustion engine, not shown, and via section 8 to a further combustion device, not shown, and burned there. From section 8 of line 6 , a device, not shown, is provided which opens section 8 of line 6 at a limit pressure p₀, so that gas can flow out to the further combustion device.
Die Fig. 2 zeigt in einer vergrößerten Darstellung den kritischen Bereich 11 des Kraftstoffbehälters 1, in dem sich die Flüssigkeits- und Schmutzreste 12 ansam meln. Das offene Ende 10 des trichterförmigen Abschnittes 9 der Leitung 6 ist so nahe wie möglich an der Innenwand 13 des Kraftstoffbehälters 1 angeordnet. Über einen Pfeil 14 ist die Strömungsrichtung des Gemisches aus gasförmigem Kraft stoff 2 und Flüssigkeits- und Schmutzresten 12 angedeutet. Fig. 2 shows an enlarged view of the critical area 11 of the fuel tank 1 , in which the liquid and dirt residues 12 collect. The open end 10 of the funnel-shaped section 9 of the line 6 is arranged as close as possible to the inner wall 13 of the fuel tank 1 . An arrow 14 indicates the direction of flow of the mixture of gaseous fuel 2 and liquid and dirt residues 12 .
