An Bord eines mit Verbrennungsmotor betriebenen Kraftfahrzeugs werden für spezielle Anwendungen bestimmte Fraktionen des handelsüblichen, motorischen Kraftstoffs benötigt. Es ist z.B. bekannt, daß die Verwendung von niedersiedenden Kraftstofffraktionen in der Kaltstartphase bei Fahrzeugen mit Ottomotoren zu einer Absenkung der Kohlenwasserstoff-Emissionen führt.On board a motor vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, for special applications certain fractions of commercial, motor Fuel needed. It is e.g. known to use low-boiling Fuel fractions in the cold start phase in vehicles with petrol engines leads to a reduction in hydrocarbon emissions.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zur Abtrennung einer niedersiedenden Kraftstofffraktion aus einem motorischen Kraftstoff an Bord eines Kraftfahrzeugs zu schaffen, für dessen Durchführung nur ein geringes Bauvolumen und ein geringes Baugewicht benötigt wird. Darüberhinaus soll die benötigte niedersiedende Kraftstofffraktion bereits beim Start des Fahrzeugs zur Verfügung stehen.The object of the invention is a method for separating a low-boiling Fuel fraction from a motor fuel on board a motor vehicle to create, for its implementation only a small volume and a low building weight is required. In addition, the required low-boiling Fuel fraction already available when the vehicle is started stand.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit dem Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand weiterer Ansprüche. This object is achieved with the method according to claim 1. Beneficial Embodiments of the invention are the subject of further claims.
Die Erfindung löst obengenannte Aufgabe, indem die Fraktionierung des Kraftstoffes mittels einer Gasförderpumpe durch Vakuumverdampfung mit nachfolgender Druckkondensation erfolgt. Das Verfahren kann bei Umgebungstemperatur ausgeführt werden. Es wird keine zusätzliche Wärmezufuhr oder Wärmeabfuhr benötigt.The invention solves the above object by fractionating the fuel by means of a gas feed pump by vacuum evaporation with subsequent Pressure condensation takes place. The process can be done at ambient temperature be carried out. There is no additional heat or heat dissipation needed.
Die abgetrennte niedersiedende Kraftstofffraktion eignet sich insbesondere als Motorkraftstoff, mit dem eine Absenkung der Kohlenwasserstoffemissionen während der Kaltstartphase des Motors erreicht werden kann.The separated low-boiling fuel fraction is particularly suitable as Motor fuel, with a reduction in hydrocarbon emissions can be reached during the cold start phase of the engine.
Darüberhinaus kann die abgetrennte niedersiedende Kraftstofffraktion als Reduktionsmittel für Entstickungskatalysatoren im mageren Motorabgas genutzt werden.In addition, the separated low-boiling fuel fraction can be used as a reducing agent used for denitrification catalysts in lean engine exhaust will.
Die Fraktionierung des Kraftstoffs kann sowohl aus dem Kraftstoffvorratsbehälter des Kraftfahrzeugs oder aus einem zusätzlich vorhandenen Zwischenbehälter erfolgen. Im zweiten Fall kann die nach der Trennung verbleibende, höhersiedende Fraktion in dafür geeigneten Motorbetriebsphasen als Motorkraftstoff eingesetzt werden.The fractionation of the fuel can both from the fuel tank of the motor vehicle or from an additional intermediate container respectively. In the second case, the higher boiling remaining after the separation Fraction in suitable engine operating phases as engine fuel be used.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren eignet sich aufgrund der genannten Vorteile für den Einsatz in allen mobilen Systemen, wie Personen- und Nutzfahrzeuge.The method according to the invention is suitable on the basis of the advantages mentioned for use in all mobile systems, such as passenger and commercial vehicles.
Der apparative Aufwand zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist gering. Auf komplexe Komponenten wie Verdampfer kann verzichtet werden. Folglich können Bauvolumen und Baugewicht klein gehalten werden. The equipment required to carry out the method is low. On complex Components such as evaporators can be omitted. Hence can Construction volume and weight can be kept small.
Niedrigstsiedende Verbindungen wie beispielsweise Butan, die bei der Destillation nur mit sehr starker Kühlung (<0° C) kondensiert werden können, können über das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit vergleichsweise geringem Aufwand gewonnen werden.Lowest boiling compounds such as butane used in the distillation can only be condensed with very strong cooling (<0 ° C) about the inventive method with comparatively little effort be won.
Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, daß die angestrebte Kraftstofffraktion aufgrund der im Kraftfahrzeug verfügbaren elektrischen Leistung zum Betrieb der Gasförderpumpe sofort beim Start des Motors bereitgestellt werden kann. Es entfällt die Notwendigkeit eines Vorratstanks für die gewonnene Kraftstofffraktion.Another important advantage of the method according to the invention is in that the desired fuel fraction due to the available in the motor vehicle electrical power to operate the gas feed pump immediately at Start of the engine can be provided. The need for one is eliminated Storage tanks for the obtained fuel fraction.
Durch ständiges Absaugen der Gasphase aus dem Kraftstoffbehälter werden Verdampfungsverluste weitgehend vermieden. Dadurch werden die Kohlenwasserstoffemissionen aus dem Kraftstoffbehälter gesenkt und der Wirkungsgrad des Kraftfahrzeugs erhöht.By constantly sucking the gas phase out of the fuel tank Evaporation losses largely avoided. This will reduce the hydrocarbon emissions lowered from the fuel tank and efficiency of the motor vehicle increased.

Der Ablauf des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird in Fig. 1 näher erläutert. Im Kraftstoffbehälter erfolgt über den durch die Gasförderpumpe erzeugten Unterdruck (Psaug) die Verdampfung der niedersiedenden Komponenten. Auf der Druckseite der Pumpe werden diese durch den höheren Druck (Pdruck) wieder kondensiert. Je nach Pumpentyp kann über die Auslegung der Pumpe (Druck auf Saug- und Druckseite) der gewünschte Siedebereich der zu gewinnenden niedersiedenden Fraktion sowie über die Pumpenleistung die erforderliche Fraktionierungszeit eingestellt werden. Als besonders geeignet erwiesen sich Vakuummembranpumpen, die wartungsfrei (ölfrei) arbeiten, eine hohe Lebensdauer haben und unempfindlich gegen in der Pumpe kondensierende Medien sind. Auch der elektrische Leistungsbedarf einer solchen Membranpumpe ist gering (<200 W).The sequence of the method according to the invention is explained in more detail in FIG. 1. The evaporation of the low-boiling components takes place in the fuel tank via the negative pressure (P suction ) generated by the gas feed pump . On the pressure side of the pump, these are condensed again by the higher pressure (P pressure ). Depending on the pump type, the desired boiling range of the low-boiling fraction to be obtained and the required fractionation time can be set via the pump design (pressure on the suction and pressure side). Vacuum diaphragm pumps that are maintenance-free (oil-free), have a long service life and are insensitive to media condensing in the pump have proven to be particularly suitable. The electrical power requirement of such a diaphragm pump is also low (<200 W).
Bevorzugte Werte für Psaug und Pdruck sind:
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann insbesondere bei Umgebungstemperatur ausgeführt werden. Zur Erhöhung der Fraktionierungsgeschwindigkeit kann jedoch auch die Saugseite der Gasförderpumpe beheizt werden und/oder die Druckseite der Gasförderpumpe gekühlt werden.The method according to the invention can in particular at ambient temperature be carried out. To increase the fractionation speed However, the suction side of the gas feed pump can also be heated and / or the pressure side of the gas feed pump are cooled.
Fig. 2 zeigt die Zusammensetzung einer mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren gewonnenen niedersiedenden Kraftstofffraktion (schraffierte Balken) im Vergleich zur Zusammensetzung des Ausgangskraftstoffs vor der Abtrennung. Die Siedepunkte der einzelnen Komponenten sind jeweils in Klammern angegeben. Der Druck auf der Saugseite betrug 100 bis 300 mbar, auf der Druckseite 1 bis 2 bar. Wie die Fig. 2 zeigt, werden niedersiedende Komponenten stark angereichert, während höhersiedende Kraftstoffkomponenten (u.a. Aromaten) nahezu nicht mehr enthalten sind.Fig. 2 shows the composition of a with the inventive method obtained low-boiling fuel fraction (hatched bars) in the Comparison of the composition of the starting fuel before separation. The boiling points of the individual components are given in brackets. The pressure on the suction side was 100 to 300 mbar, on the pressure side 1 to 2 bar. 2 shows, low-boiling components highly enriched, while higher-boiling fuel components (including aromatics) are almost no longer included.
