Opening of this valve connects the extra clearance volume, provided by region 27, directly to the volume of the chamber 9.
- the volume of 27 is approximately twenty times the minimum volume of chamber 9, typically 100 cubic centimetres.
- the pressure signal applied by governor device 13 to port 14 is also applied to the air dryer purge valve 45 so that the compressed air pressure in the air dryer main body 41 collapses rapidly towards atmospheric pressure and metered purging commences of the desiccant 43 by dry air from volume 11a.
- the control pressure at port 14 at commencement of unloading and purging is also communicated via passage 15 to the right hand side of the piston 29. Because the left hand side of member 34, being communicated via port 10 with the air dryer body 41, is now subject to near-atmospheric pressure the piston 29 can rapidly move from the position shown and into substantial sealing engagement with the inner end of insert 33. Member 34 is then held in that position against the action of spring 37 by the pressure on its annular right hand side and the pressure in line 15. This has the result of isolating from the delivery port 10 and the air dryer body 41, the region between the delivery valve 4a and the delivery port. The trapped pressure in the additional volume 27 is thereby not vented via the delivery valve 4a and delivery port 10, the air dryer purge valve. The air dryer is thereby able to be purged in a normal manner without adversely affecting the advantageous features of compressor unloading provided by an unloader valve 22, 23 and so called "dead volume" 27. Turbo charger pressure drop is also prevented.
- the compressor is supplied via a turbo charger it may be desirable to reduce the pressure which is trapped in the "dead volume" 27, when the compressor is unloaded, to a level less than that which would otherwise be present.
- This can readily be achieved by connecting the dead volume 27 via a suitable passage of the cylinder head to the region between the further valve and the delivery valve. Such a passage is shown by reference 47 and it will also be seen that this can readily be closed by the piston 34 in the normally operating position.
Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to gas compressors and relates more especially but not exclusively to piston and cylinder air compressors in which the ultimate pressure of the delivered compressed air is limited by introducing additional clearance volume.
- It has been proposed to limit the output pressure of a piston and cylinder compressor by introducing additional clearance volume, such clearance volume either being a fixed volume or alternatively being a volume which is progressively variable. In a particular example of a piston and cylinder compressor in which the delivered pressure is limited by added clearance volume, the compressor is provided with a valve having a pressure responsive control member subject to a control pressure The control member is biassed by the force of a spring so that the valve remains closed until a pre-determined pressure is reached, it acts on the pressure responsive member to unseat the valve and thereby add a small volume to the clearance volume above the head of the compressor piston. One shortcoming of such an arrangement was that the valve may be so sensitive as to open and close for small fluctuations of the delivered pressure. With an object of reducing the above-mentioned shortcoming copending U.K. Patent Application No. 8717707 describes a gas compressor with a piston which reciprocates in a cylinder alternatively to induce and compress gas for delivery to a receiver through a delivery valve said compressor having a spring-biassed unloader valve co-operable with an opening of said chamber a pressure responsive member being provided operatively linked to the valve member for displacement thereof against the action of a bias spring in response to signal pressure at an input port from a governer device which senses attainment of preset delivered pressure in the receiver and unseating of said unloader valve providing communication between the cylinder and an additional enclosed volume.
- Whatever precise detailed features such a compressor may have, it may conveniently be supplied with air from a turbo charger. In that way it is possible to enhance the stored pressure or amount of stored air. This can be particularly useful in relation to compressors for compressed air braking systems of vehicles in which the compressor and turbo charger can each be fitted to the engine of the vehicle. A turbo charger is often fitted to an engine also to enhance the engine performance in known manner. In order moreover to ensure long and relaible operating life of a compressed air braking system over a wide range of temperatures, often well below zero, it is now also common to include an air dryer between the compressor and reservoirs to be charged with compressed air. Such air dryers are rechargeable by controlled purging from time to time with dry air and this usually involves temporary venting during intervals when the compressor is unloaded.
- With such an air dryer and unloading system as outlined above, it will become apparent that purging of the air dryer can result not only in substantial venting of the mentioned additional volume which is connected to the compressor cylinder when unloaded but in the case of a turbo charger being used, also as the turbo charger input may be substantially reduced engine performance may be affected and the present invention seeks to provide a compressor with means for avoiding this shortcoming.
- According to the present invention there is provided a gas compressor having a piston which reciprocates in a cylinder alternatively to induce gas through an inlet valve and to compress gas for delivery through a delivery valve and a delivery port, an unloader valve operable in response to a control signal to connect a compression chamber of said cylinder to an additional volume to effect interruption of compressor gas delivery when a pre-determined delivered gas pressure is attained and characterised by a further valve in the cylinder head assembly operable to interrupt gas flow from the delivery port from the delivery valve to the delivery port during operation of said unloader valve.
- Said further valve may be operable by the same control signal as said unloader valve.
- Said additional volume may be connected with or include a volume which exists between the delivery valve and the further valve when closed.
- In order that the invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect, the same will be further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing.
- Referring to the drawing a reciprocating piston air compressor has a cylinder indicated at
reference 1, having a bore 2 and a piston 3 sealingly slideable therein. Thecylinder 1 is provided with avalve plate 4 with delivery and inlet valves 4a and 4b together with a cylinder head assembly comprising a main portion 5 and a cover portion 6 which is separable from 5 for ease of manufacture, assembly and subsequent maintenance of an unloader valve in the form of a poppet valve denoted byreference 7. - The cylinder head has an induction chamber 8 communicating air from an inlet port (not shown) to a
region 9 above the piston via the inlet valve 4b. Delivered air under pressure from theregion 9 passes through the delivery valve 4a to adelivery port 10 for supplying compressed air via anair dryer 11. Theair dryer 11 has apurge volume 11a which receives dry air and dry air is also supplied viapipe 12 to utilisation means such as reservoirs of a brake system. The pressure in theline 12 is sensed by agoverner device 13 which as will be seen later applies an unload signal to the compressor and a purge signal to the air dryer. The governer device is typically a governer type D2 as marketed by Applicant and described in theirTechnical Pamphlet 4/002. - The compressor cylinder head portion 6 has a
control input port 14 which communicates with thelarger area 15 of a sealingly slideablestepped piston 16 withseals seals small passage 26 to atmosphere. Anopposing face 19 of thepiston 16 is engageable with aninward end 20 of a stem 7a of theunloader valve 7 which is located in a valve guide 21 and has ahead 22 engageable with aseat 23 formed in the cylinder head portion 5. Thevalve head 22 is, therefore, located in the compression chamber formed byregion 9 and the area presented by thehead 22 of the valve to the pressure in theregion 9 lies between the area of 19 and the area of 15. Thevalve 7 is biassed into the closed position shown by a frusto-conical spring 24 acting between the guide 21 and acollet 25 retained on the stem in an annular groove by a suitable circlip orcotter 29. Incorporated in the cylinder head assembly there is provided an additional clearance volume by virtue of aregion 27 which communicates viaapertures 28 in the valve guide 21 andunseated valve 7, with theregion 9 above the piston. - The
passage 15 referred to above also communicates with the right hand end of apiston 29 carryingseals 30 slideable in abore 31 which is axially aligned with thedelivery port 10.Delivery port 10 is formed by a threadedinsert 33 of the cylinder head assembly theinner end 32 of which insert is abuttable by an enlargedend 34 of ofpiston 29 in the manner of a further valve. Piston 29 is guided to achieve this by a tubular rod-like extension 35 freely slideable in a guide 36 ofinsert 33. Aspring 37 is provided as shown to urge thepiston 29 into the position shown rendering the further valve normally open for delivery of compressed air. Thebore 38 of tubular rod-like extension 35 communicates with the annular space betweenseals 30 ofpiston 29. The threadedinsert 33 permits convenient insertion or removal of thefurther valve 34 as may be required for servicing thereof. - The
air dryer 11 may now be briefly explained and suffice it to observe that 11 comprises a main body 41 having an input port connected to receive air fromdelivery port 10 of the compressed delivered air follows the direction illustrated by solid arrows up around the inner surface of adesiccant cannister 42 and down through abody 43 of granular desiccant to thepurge chamber 11 and also via acheck valve 44 to theline 12 for charging reservoirs (not shown). A purge valve 45 is provided in main body 41 and when this receives a control signal fromgovernor 13, dry air stored inpurge volume 11a is metered back through the desiccant in the direction of the broken arrows to atmosphere through valve 45. The operation of such air dryers is well known and does not require to be described further except to observe that one result of such purge valve action can be to cause the pressure at thedelivery port 10 of the compressor to descebt towards atmospheric pressure. - In operation of the shown system, the compressor operates in a conventional manner drawing air in via induction chamber 8 and delivering compressed air via the
delivery port 10 intoair dryer 11 andvolume 11a. Upon attainment of a selected pressure thegoverner device 13 applies a pressure signal to thecontrol port 14. The pressure delivered by the governer approximates to the pressure in the mentioned reservoirs and this acts on the upper surface of thepiston 16 to thereby urge theunloader valve member 7 against the action of spring 24, and the pressure inchamber 9 acts on the area of 22, such that the unloader valve is rapidly unseated. Opening of this valve connects the extra clearance volume, provided byregion 27, directly to the volume of thechamber 9. The volume of 27 is approximately twenty times the minimum volume ofchamber 9, typically 100 cubic centimetres. Under these conditions the maximum pressure attained in thechamber 9 immediately drops to a value which is appreciably less than the former delivery pressure and the similar pressure in thereservoir 11, so that the compressor now ceases to deliver compressed air. Due to the action of piston 3 there are then cyclic pressure fluctuations accompanied by flow of air backwards and forwards, via theunseated valve 22, between theregions volume 9. - The pressure signal applied by
governor device 13 toport 14 is also applied to the air dryer purge valve 45 so that the compressed air pressure in the air dryer main body 41 collapses rapidly towards atmospheric pressure and metered purging commences of thedesiccant 43 by dry air fromvolume 11a. - The control pressure at
port 14 at commencement of unloading and purging is also communicated viapassage 15 to the right hand side of thepiston 29. Because the left hand side ofmember 34, being communicated viaport 10 with the air dryer body 41, is now subject to near-atmospheric pressure thepiston 29 can rapidly move from the position shown and into substantial sealing engagement with the inner end ofinsert 33.Member 34 is then held in that position against the action ofspring 37 by the pressure on its annular right hand side and the pressure inline 15. This has the result of isolating from thedelivery port 10 and the air dryer body 41, the region between the delivery valve 4a and the delivery port. The trapped pressure in theadditional volume 27 is thereby not vented via the delivery valve 4a anddelivery port 10, the air dryer purge valve. The air dryer is thereby able to be purged in a normal manner without adversely affecting the advantageous features of compressor unloading provided by anunloader valve - When the compressed air pressure in
line 12 is again depleted to a predetermined value due to brake applications or other uses of the compressed air supply stored in a reservoir (not shown) thegovernor device 13 removes the control pressure signal atport 14, the unloader valve reverts to the condition shown and thespring 37 now overcomes the pressure on the annular right hand side ofmember 34. Thismember 34 therefore also reverts to the position shown and the compressor resumes normal working supplying compressed air via the air dryer toline 12. - If the compressor is supplied via a turbo charger it may be desirable to reduce the pressure which is trapped in the "dead volume" 27, when the compressor is unloaded, to a level less than that which would otherwise be present. This can readily be achieved by connecting the
dead volume 27 via a suitable passage of the cylinder head to the region between the further valve and the delivery valve. Such a passage is shown byreference 47 and it will also be seen that this can readily be closed by thepiston 34 in the normally operating position.
