Definitions
- the invention relates to an oil burner for thermal systems according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Oil burners for thermal engineering systems conventionally comprise a combustion chamber into which fuel is continuously fed via a nozzle.
- Pulsed burners of this type can cause enormous noise, which is between 90 and 140 dB (A). For this reason, a system was provided in WO 92/08928 that acoustically decouples the resonance system comprising the combustion chamber and the fuel supply line from the downstream heat exchanger.
- the resonance frequency occurring in these pulsed burners is approximately 100 Hz and depends on the shape and size of the cavities formed by the combustion chamber and the feed lines.
- oil burners are known to have poor exhaust gas values compared to gas burners, which are caused on the one hand by the constituents contained in the oil and on the other hand by poorer atomization of the sometimes viscous oil in the combustion chamber, so that it is difficult to achieve complete stoichiometric combustion.
- the oil supply lines for the continuous oil supply also drip in, which leads to poor combustion with regard to the exhaust gas values.
- DE-OS 23 07 435 describes a fuel injection device for internal combustion engines in which the pump work chamber is connected to the pressure chamber by at least one hydraulically actuated spring-loaded injection valve by means of an electrically driven reciprocating pump and is connected to a pressure source via an inlet valve.
- the pump piston runs at a certain idle stroke at the beginning of the pumping process, as a result of which the mass of the pump piston is accelerated before the actual pump stroke and the stored kinetic energy is used to increase the pressure in the pump work space.
- the injection device provides a soft iron anchor as a pump piston, which is driven by a linear motor over a relatively long distance.
- Such injection devices working with the energy storage principle have been further developed in the following.
- Corresponding injection devices are known from DD-PS 120514 and DD-PS 213 427. These fuel injection devices, which operate on the solid-state energy storage principle, accelerate the armature of the electromagnet and thus the fuel-liquid column over a longer distance before the pressure is built up, which is required to spray the fuel out through the nozzle.
- These fuel injection devices have the advantage that they make do with low drive energy and achieve a high operating frequency due to the small moving masses. They also achieve high pressures.
- the fuel feeder through which the delivery piston passes, is provided in a first section with axially arranged grooves through which the fuel is able to flow off, without any significant pressure build-up occurring in the subsequent second section of the feeder. comes, which has no fluid drainage grooves.
- the delivery piston is therefore braked by the incompressible fuel, as a result of which a pressure is built up in the fuel, by means of which the resistance of the injection valve is overcome, so that fuel is injected.
- the disadvantage here is that when the delivery plunger is immersed in the closed section of the delivery cylinder, large pressure losses occur due to unfavorable gap conditions, namely a large gap width and a small gap length, which adversely affect the pressure build-up required for spraying.
- a fuel pump 602 feeds fuel at a pressure of approximately 3 to 10 bar into a pipeline 605, in which a pressure regulator 603 and a damping device 604 are arranged.
- shut-off valve 606 At the end of line 605 there is, for example, an electromagnetically actuated shut-off valve 606, via which fuel accelerated by pump 602 in the open state is returned to storage tank 601. By suddenly closing the shut-off valve 606, the kinetic energy of the fuel flowing in line 605 and in line 607 is converted into pressure energy.
- the size of the pressure surge that arises is about 20 to 80 bar, that is about ten times the flow pressure generated by the pump 602 in the line 605, which is also called a flywheel line.
- the pressure surge thus created at the shut-off valve 606 is used to spray off the fuel accelerated in this way via an injection nozzle 610, which is connected via a pressure line 609 to the valve 606 and thus to the line 605.
- this known injection device can be controlled electronically, specifically by means of an electronic control unit 608 connected to the valve 606.
- the pressure regulating valve 603 always requires a minimum regulating quantity in order to be able to work stably, as a result of which a further loss of energy occurs. Since the volume flow requirement on the injection nozzle 10 depends on the engine speed and on the quantity to be sprayed off, the pressure supply unit must promote the volume flow for full-load operation even when idling, so that relatively large amounts of fuel with corresponding energy loss for the entire system via the pressure regulating valve til 603 must be shut down.
- WO 92/14925 it is proposed in WO 92/14925 to provide the fuel volume flow required for the injection for each injection process only as long as this is necessary depending on the engine operating conditions in accordance with the time and quantity requirements.
- the use of an intermittently operated fuel acceleration pump means that there is no continuous supply of upstream pressure, which benefits the energy balance of the injection device.
- the use of the energy is further optimized by the use of a common control device for the acceleration pump and the electrically actuated deceleration device, for example in the form of an electromagnetically actuated shut-off valve.
- An electromagnetically operated piston pump is preferably used as the intermittently operating fuel acceleration pump.
- a diaphragm pump can also be provided for fuel acceleration within the pressure surge device.
- an electrodynamic, a mechanical or a drive means piezo element can also be provided.
- the invention has for its object to provide an oil burner for a thermal system with which pressure oscillations can be reliably avoided and excellent exhaust gas values can be achieved.
- an oil burner with an injection device that works according to the energy storage principle, consisting of a pump and a nozzle or a valve that suddenly injects a defined quantity of fuel into the combustion chambers, this can be achieved with conventional oil burners occurring pressure vibrations in the resonance range can be prevented by an exact control of the frequency.
- This is achieved primarily through the energy storage principle, which makes the delivery very short High frequency and high pressure pulses allowed.
- the high pressure also results in very good atomization of the fuel in the combustion chamber and very precise metering, as a result of which the pollutant values are kept low.
- the frequency forced by the injection process is preferably selected so that the frequency distance from the resonance frequency of the combustion chamber is as large as possible.
- the provision of the injection device according to the invention makes it possible for the first time to control or regulate the amount of oil supplied to the combustion chamber with an unprecedented level of accuracy, which enables the oil / air ratio to be set precisely, so that a stoichiometric combustion ratio or one can be achieved with excess air in order to keep the pollutants in the exhaust gas low.
- a large control range is also achieved in relation to the quantity of oil supplied, so that very small quantities of oil can be supplied to the combustion chamber with great precision as well as large quantities of oil. This applies in particular if, in addition to the variable frequency, the amount of fuel defined per injection process can also be changed.
- the large control range allows the critical burner conditions to be bypassed in a very simple manner.
- the success of the device according to the invention is based on the fact that the vibrations and pollutants that occur are not combated by compensating devices, such as vibration decoupling, but are prevented directly at the point of origin by controlling the flame itself.
- compensating devices such as vibration decoupling
- several approaches are not necessary, each of which attacks another point on the oil burner, but can be solved by the injection device alone.
- the sudden supply of the oil by the injection device according to the invention enables injection pulses of less than 10 ms to the order of magnitude of 1 ms, so that they are suitable for counteracting the usual resonance vibrations of a few 100 Hz.
- the fast response behavior of the injection device according to the invention also reliably prevents overshoot in the control of the oil supply, which could not be avoided in conventional oil burners and leads to increased exhaust gas values. Furthermore, due to its quick response, the oil burner according to the invention can be operated in a closed control loop, which measures the resulting gases with a gas sensor in the chimney or in the combustion chamber and regulates them with high thermal efficiency to predetermined values which are as low in pollutants as possible.
- gas sensors can be sensitive to oxygen or carbon monoxide, for example.
- the injection device preferably comprises a pump driven by an electromagnet in order to be able to handle the pumping capacities of a few kg / h up to 900 kg / h which are necessary for oil burners, in particular large burners.
- Such pumps driven by an electromagnet which operate according to the solid-state energy storage principle, comprise a piston pump driven by an electromagnet with a reciprocating piston element guided in a pump cylinder, the partial quantities of the fuel to be sprayed off during an almost resistance-free acceleration phase, during which stores the reciprocating element kinetic energy, is displaced in the pump area before spraying and the displacement is suddenly stopped by means which interrupt the displacement, so that a pressure surge is generated in the fuel located in a closed pressure chamber, in which the stored kinetic energy of the Hub ⁇ piston element is transferred directly to the fuel located in the pressure chamber.
- the pressure surge is used to spray fuel through an injection nozzle device.
- the fuel injectors working according to the solid-state energy storage principle are particularly advantageous if the means generating the pressure surge are arranged outside the leading liquid-tight contact area between the piston element and the piston cylinder of the piston pump, so that in a simple manner a practically wear-free operation Tending injection valve is obtained, which can inject larger amounts of fuel into the combustion chamber with very short injection pulses.
- Injection pumps of such a simple construction which operate according to the solid-state energy storage principle and have few moving parts, are to be used with preference in oil burners since they have a long service life, which is very important in the case of long-term operation of an oil burner is.

- the piston 80 protrudes with its one end face into the pressure chamber 15 in the rest position.
- the bore section 14b in the delivery piston 14 receiving the storage piston 80 continues after the step 14c toward the armature 10 in a further step bore section 14d, on the step 14e of which the step 14e Pressure spring 81 supports, which presses against the armature-side end face of the piston 80.
- the bore 14a finally also passes through the armature 10 and opens into the empty armature space 11, so that air can be displaced.
- the memory element of this embodiment works as follows. On a first part of the stroke of the delivery piston 14, the energy storage path, the storage piston 80 is forced into the bore of the delivery piston 14 provided for the piston, whereby an additional space for displaced fuel is available on the pressure chamber side, so that the armature 10 during the first stroke section together with the delivery piston 14 can be accelerated essentially without resistance.
- the resistance-free acceleration of armature 10 and delivery piston 14 is ended when the armature-side end face of the storage piston 80 comes to bear against the annular shoulder 14c of the stepped bore 14a. The consequence of this is an abrupt pressure increase, by means of which fuel is sprayed off via the nozzle 3.
- the variant of the injection device according to the invention described below with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 has a structural unit of an electrically driven reciprocating piston pump and stop means.
- a hydraulic valve as well as the pump and the pressure line 2 are in one common housing 121 housed.
- the function and the essential structure of the pump with electromagnetic drive essentially corresponds to the previously described embodiments of the pump 1 of the device according to the invention, the fuel being sucked in via a valve 122 which is fitted into the pump housing 121 and with the pressure line 2 in connection stands (Fig. 7).
- the valve 122 closes automatically due to the Bernoulli effect at a certain flow rate.
- the fuel flowing through the pressure line 2 during the acceleration phase passes through a gap 123 into the valve chamber 124.
- a narrow annular gap is left, which is designed accordingly by a spring acting on the valve cone 125 126 can be set.
- the static pressure in the annular gap has dropped so far that the valve cone 125 is attracted and the valve 122 closes, as a result of which the pressure surge required to eject the fuel via the injection nozzle is generated.
- the pressure line 2 leading to the injection nozzle is connected to the outlet of a check valve 127, which is also structurally combined with the housing 121.
- valve cone 128 of the valve 127 is pressed against the associated valve seat by pretensioning a spring 129, the spring 129 being designed such that the valve 127 is closed when the pressure in the pressure line 2 is below the value which increases leads to an emission of fuel via the injection nozzle, which is indirectly connected to the valve 127.
- the check valve 127 also prevents bubbles from forming in the pressure line 2 to the injector valve, because the check valve ensures that the pressure in the pressure line between the injector and the check valve is constant. can be achieved that is higher than the vapor pressure of the fuel liquid.
- the armature 10 is provided with axially parallel slots 130 and 131 of different depths in the casing, which are distributed around the circumference of the essentially cylindrical armature.

Leak oil which has penetrated into the armature space can be sucked off with a line 120 which leads from the armature space 11 through the housing 121 to the outside.
- the armature of the injection pump is usually reset using the return spring provided.
- the armature reset time must be kept short. This can be achieved, for example, by a correspondingly large spring force of the return spring. With a reduction in the reset time, however, the impact speed of the anchor at the anchor stop increases. The associated wear and / or the bouncing of the armature at the armature stop can be disadvantageous, as a result of which the total working time is increased. It is therefore an object of the invention to keep the fall time of the armature short until it is at rest. According to the invention this goal is achieved by e.g. Hydraulic damping of the armature return movement achieved in the last part of this movement.

- the depth of the blind cylinder bore 11b corresponds approximately to the length of the projection 10a (dimension Y in FIG. 12). Because the projection 10a can dip into the pocket cylinder bore 11b, the armature return movement in the last section is greatly delayed, as a result of which the desired hydraulic damping of the armature return movement is brought about by displacing the medium from the space 11b.
- the pump chamber 11 through which the delivery piston 14 passes is connected in front of the armature 10 to the space 11 adjoining the rear side of the armature, specifically through holes 10 d that open into a central overflow channel 10 c in the region of the rear side of the armature.
- a central pin 8a of a shock absorber 8b protrudes with its conical tip 8c in the direction of the mouth of the overflow channel 10c, reaches through a hole 8d in the bottom 11a at the rear, which opens into a damping space 8e, and ends in the damping space with a ring 8f, which has a larger diameter has than the hole 8d.
- the damping device 8b is ineffective in the acceleration movement of the armature 10, so that there is no impairment of the lifting phase.
- the mouth of the overflow channel meets the cone tip 8c and is closed, so that the flow through the channels 10c and 10d is interrupted.
- the armature 10 presses the pin 8a against the spring force and against the medium in the room 8e, which is also in the room 11 and flows out through the channel 8h into the room 11.
- the flows and spring forces are selected so that optimal damping is guaranteed.
- a displacement bore 8i can be arranged centrally in the pin 8a according to FIG. 10b, through which the damping medium can be pressed into the overflow channel 10c.

Oil is sucked in from the reservoir 266 into the working space 261b of the second pump 260 via the valve 267. During the return movement of the armature 10 of the pump 1 in the direction of its stop 11a, the pump piston 262 is pushed into the pump chamber 261b at least over part of the return path of the armature 10. The valve 267 is closed by the pump pressure and the medium conveyed by the second pump is discharged from the pump via the outlet 264 in the direction of arrow 264a.
- the second pump 260 can be used as a fuel back pressure pump, wherein the fuel can be supplied to the valve device 70. It is advantageous here that the pump 260 can generate a static pressure in the fuel supply system which prevents vapor formation e.g. counteracts heating of the entire system.
