Description
L'invention concerne les véhicules terrestres et plus particulièrement ceux équipés avec des moteurs dépollués ou dépolluants à chambre de combustion indépendante, fonctionnant avec injection d'air comprimé additionnel, et comportant un réservoir d'air comprimé haute pression.The invention relates to land vehicles and more particularly those equipped with depolluted or depolluting engines with independent combustion chamber, operating with additional compressed air injection, and comprising a high compressed air tank pressure.
L'auteur a décrit dans sa demande de brevet publié WO 96/27737 un procédé de dépollution de moteur à chambre de combustion externe indépendante, fonctionnant suivant un principe bi-modes à deux types d'énergie, utilisant soit un carburant conventionnel tel essence ou gasoil sur route (fonctionnement mono-mode à air-carburant), soit, à basse vitesse, notamment en zone urbaine et suburbaine, une addition d'air comprimé dans la chambre de combustion (ou tout autre gaz non polluant) à l'exclusion de tout autre carburant, (fonctionnement mono-mode à air, c'est-à-dire avec addition d'air comprimé). Dans sa demande de brevet FR 9607714, l'auteur a décrit l'installation de ce type de moteur en fonctionnement mono-mode, avec addition d'air comprimé, sur les véhicules de services, par exemple des autobus urbains.The author described in his published patent application WO 96/27737 a method of depollution of an engine with independent external combustion chamber, operating according to a dual-mode principle with two types of energy, using either a conventional fuel such as petrol or diesel on the road (single-mode air-fuel operation), or, at low speed, in particular urban and suburban areas, an addition of compressed air in the combustion chamber (or any other non-polluting gas) to the exclusion of any other fuel, (single-mode air operation, that is to say with the addition of compressed air). In his patent application FR 9607714, the author describes the installation of this type of motor in single-mode operation, with the addition of air compressed, on service vehicles, for example city buses.
Dans ce type de moteur, en mode air-carburant, le mélange air carburant est aspiré et comprimé dans une chambre d'aspiration et de compression indépendante. Puis ce mélange est transféré, toujours en pression, dans une chambre de combustion indépendante et à volume constant pour y être enflammé afin d'augmenter la température et la pression dudit mélange. Après l'ouverture d'un transfert reliant ladite chambre de combustion ou d'expansion à une chambre de détente et d'échappement, ce mélange sera détendu dans cette dernière pour y produire un travail. Les gaz détendus sont ensuite évacués à l'atmosphère à travers un conduit d'échappement.In this type of engine, in air-fuel mode, the air fuel mixture is drawn in and compressed in an independent suction and compression chamber. Then this mixture is transferred, still under pressure, to an independent and volume combustion chamber constant to be ignited in order to increase the temperature and the pressure of said mixture. After the opening of a transfer connecting said combustion or expansion chamber to a trigger and exhaust, this mixture will be relaxed in the latter to produce a job. The expanded gases are then discharged to the atmosphere through an exhaust pipe.
En fonctionnement à air plus air comprimé additionnel qui nous intéresse plus particulièrement dans le cadre de l'invention, à faible puissance, l'injecteur de carburant n'est plus commandé ; dans ce cas, l'on introduit dans la chambre de combustion, sensiblement après l'admission dans cette dernière de l'air comprimé -sans carburant- provenant de la chambre d'aspiration et de compression, une petite quantité d'air comprimé additionnel provenant d'un réservoir externe où l'air est stocké sous haute pression, par exemple 200 bars, et à la température ambiante. Cette petite quantité d'air comprimé à température ambiante va s'échauffer au contact de la masse d'air à haute température contenue dans la chambre de combustion ou d'expansion, va se dilater et augmenter la pression régnant dans la chambre pour permettre de délivrer lors de la détente un travail moteur.In operation with air plus additional compressed air which interests us more particularly in the context of the invention, at low power, the fuel injector is no longer ordered ; in this case, it is introduced into the combustion chamber, substantially after the admission into the latter of compressed air - without fuel - coming from the chamber suction and compression, a small amount of additional compressed air from a external tank where the air is stored under high pressure, for example 200 bars, and at the temperature room. This small amount of compressed air at room temperature will heat up on contact with the mass of high temperature air contained in the combustion or expansion chamber will expand and increase the pressure in the chamber to allow delivery during relaxation motor work.
Ce type de moteur bi-modes ou bi-énergies (air et essence ou air et air comprimé additionnel) peut également être modifié pour une utilisation préférentielle en ville par exemple sur tous véhicules et plus particulièrement sur des autobus urbains ou autres véhicules de services (taxis bennes à ordures etc..), en mono-mode air-air comprimé additionnel, par suppression de tous les éléments de fonctionnement du moteur avec le carburant traditionnel.This type of dual-mode or dual-energy engine (air and petrol or air and compressed air can also be modified for preferential use in the city, for example on all vehicles and more particularly on city buses or other service vehicles (dumpster taxis, etc.), in additional air-compressed air single-mode, by deleting all the operating elements of the engine with conventional fuel.
Le moteur fonctionne seulement en mono-mode avec l'injection d'air comprimé additionnel dans la chambre de combustion qui devient ainsi une chambre d'expansion. En outre, l'air aspiré par le moteur peut être filtré et purifié à travers un ou plusieurs filtres à charbon ou autre procédé mécanique, chimique, tamis moléculaire, ou autres filtres afin de réaliser un moteur dépolluant. L'emploi du terme « air » dans le présent texte s'entend « tout gaz non polluant ».The engine only works in single mode with compressed air injection additional in the combustion chamber which thus becomes an expansion chamber. In addition, the air drawn in by the engine can be filtered and purified through one or more carbon filters or other mechanical, chemical, molecular sieve, or other filters to make a motor decontaminating. The use of the term "air" in this text means "any non-polluting gas".
Dans ce type de moteur, l'air comprimé additionnel est injecté dans la chambre de combustion ou d'expansion sous une pression d'utilisation déterminée en fonction de la pression régnant dans la chambre et sensiblement plus élevée que cette dernière, pour permettre son transfert par exemple 30 bars. Pour ce faire il est utilisé un détendeur de type conventionnel qui effectue une détente sans travail n'absorbant pas de chaleur, donc sans abaissement de température permettant ainsi d'injecter dans la chambre de combustion ou d'expansion un air détendu (au environ de 30 bars dans notre exemple) et à température ambiante.In this type of engine, additional compressed air is injected into the combustion or expansion under a working pressure determined as a function of the pressure prevailing in the room and significantly higher than the latter, to allow its transfer for example 30 bars. To do this, a conventional type regulator is used which performs relaxation without work absorbing no heat, therefore without lowering the temperature thus making it possible to inject a relaxed air into the combustion or expansion chamber (at the around 30 bars in our example) and at room temperature.
Ce procédé d'injection d'air comprimé additionnel peut également être utilisé sur des moteurs conventionnels 2 ou 4 temps où ladite injection d'air comprimé additionnel est effectuée dans la chambre de combustion du moteur sensiblement au point mort haut allumage.This method of injecting additional compressed air can also be used on conventional 2 or 4 stroke engines where said injection of additional compressed air is carried out in the engine combustion chamber substantially at top ignition dead center.
Le procédé suivant l'invention, propose une solution qui permet d'augmenter la quantité d'énergie utilisable et disponible. Il est caractérisé par les moyens mis en oeuvre et plus particulièrement par le fait que l'air comprimé, avant son introduction dans la chambre de combustion et/ou d'expansion, est canalisé dans un réchauffeur thermique où il va augmenter de pression et/ou de volume, augmentant ainsi considérablement les performances pouvant être réalisées par le moteur.The method according to the invention proposes a solution which makes it possible to increase the amount of usable and available energy. It is characterized by the means implemented and more particularly by the fact that the compressed air, before its introduction into the combustion and / or expansion, is channeled into a thermal heater where it will increase by pressure and / or volume, thus considerably increasing the performance which can be performed by the engine.
L'auteur a également décrit dans sa demande de brevet Nr 9700851 un procédé de récupération d'énergie thermique environnante pour ce type de moteur où l'air comprimé contenu dans le réservoir de stockage sous très haute pression, par exemple 200 bars, et à température ambiante, par exemple 20 degrés, préalablement à son utilisation finale à une pression inférieure par exemple 30 bars, est détendu à une pression proche de celle nécessaire à son utilisation finale, dans un système à volume variable, par exemple un piston dans un cylindre, produisant un travail qui peut être récupéré et utilisé par tous moyens connus, mécanique, électrique, hydraulique ou autre. Cette détente avec travail a pour conséquence de refroidir à très basse température, par exemple moins 100° C, l'air comprimé détendu à une pression proche de celle d'utilisation. Cet air comprimé détendu à sa pression d'utilisation, et à très basse température est ensuite envoyé dans un échangeur avec l'air ambiant, va se réchauffer jusqu'à une température proche de la température ambiante, et va augmenter ainsi sa pression et/ou son volume, en récupérant de l'énergie thermique empruntée à l'atmosphère.The author also described in his patent application Nr 9700851 a method of recovery of surrounding thermal energy for this type of engine where the compressed air contained in the storage tank under very high pressure, for example 200 bars, and at temperature ambient, for example 20 degrees, prior to its final use at a lower pressure for example 30 bars, is expanded to a pressure close to that necessary for its final use, in a variable volume system, for example a piston in a cylinder, producing a job which can be recovered and used by any known means, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or other. This expansion with work results in cooling to a very low temperature, by example minus 100 ° C, the compressed air expanded to a pressure close to that of use. This air tablet relaxed to its working pressure, and at a very low temperature is then sent to a exchanger with ambient air, will heat up to a temperature close to temperature ambient, and will thus increase its pressure and / or its volume, by recovering thermal energy borrowed from the atmosphere.
Une autre caractéristique du procédé suivant l'invention, propose une solution faisant intervenir le procédé de récupération d'énergie thermique qui vient d'être decrit ci-dessus, et qui permet d'augmenter encore la quantité d'énergie utilisable et disponible. Il est caractérisé par les moyens mis en oeuvre et plus particulièrement par le fait que, l'air comprimé, après son passage dans l'échangeur thermique air air et avant son introduction dans la chambre de combustion est canalisé dans un réchauffeur thermique où il va augmenter à nouveau de pression et/ou de volume avant son introduction dans la chambre de combustion et/ou d'expansion. augmentant ainsi considérablement les performances pouvant être réalisées par le moteur.Another characteristic of the process according to the invention proposes a solution making intervene the thermal energy recovery process which has just been described above, and which further increases the amount of usable and available energy. It is characterized by means implemented and more particularly by the fact that, the compressed air, after its passage in the air air heat exchanger and before its introduction into the combustion chamber is channeled into a thermal heater where it will again increase pressure and / or volume before its introduction into the combustion and / or expansion chamber. thus increasing considerably the performance that can be achieved by the engine.
L'utilisation d'un réchauffeur thermique présente l'avantage de pouvoir utiliser des combustions continues propres qui peuvent être catalysées ou dépolluées par tous moyens connus. il peut être alimenté par un carburant conventionnel tel que essence gazole, gaz butane propane ou GPL ou autre, de même qu'il peut utiliser des réactions chimiques et/ou de l'énergie électrique pour produire le réchauffage de l'air comprimé qui le traverse.The use of a thermal heater has the advantage of being able to use clean continuous combustions which can be catalyzed or depolluted by any known means. it can be powered by conventional fuel such as gasoline, propane butane gas or LPG or other, as well as it can use chemical reactions and / or electrical energy to heat the compressed air passing through it.
L'homme de l'art peut calculer la quantité d'air très haute pression à fournir au système de détente avec travail, de même que les caractéristiques et volumes de ce dernier afin d'obtenir en fin de cette détente avec travail et compte tenu de la puissance de réchauffage, la pression d'utilisation finale choisie et la température la plus froide possible et ce, en fonction de l'utilisation du moteur. Une gestion électronique des paramètres permet d'optimiser à tous moments les quantités d'air comprimé utilisées , récupérées et réchauffées. L'homme de l'art peut également calculer le dimensionnement et les caractéristiques du réchauffeur thermique qui peut utiliser tous concepts connus dans ce domaine sans changer le procédé de l'invention.Those skilled in the art can calculate the quantity of very high pressure air to be supplied to the expansion system with work, as well as the characteristics and volumes of the latter so to obtain at the end of this expansion with work and taking into account the heating power, the selected end-use pressure and the coldest possible temperature, depending on engine use. Electronic parameter management optimizes everyone moments the quantities of compressed air used, recovered and reheated. Those skilled in the art can also calculate the sizing and characteristics of the thermal heater which can use all the concepts known in this field without changing the process of the invention.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le réchauffeur thermique qui est utilisé pour réchauffer de l'air comprimé provenant du réservoir de stockage haute pression, à travers le système de récupération d'énergie thermique ambiante ou non, est également utilisé, indépendamment ou en combinaison avec les deux solutions décrites ci-dessus c'est-à-dire directement du réservoir de stockage ou à travers le récupérateur d'énergie thermique, pour réchauffer de l'air comprimé prélevé dans la chambre d'aspiration et de compression du moteur, augmentant ainsi sa pression et/ou son volume avant de le réintroduire dans la chambre de combustion et/ou d'expansion pour permettre dans cette dernière un accroissement de la pression des gaz contenus dans ladite chambre avant la détente dans le cylindre de détente et d'échappement qui provoque le temps moteur.According to another characteristic of the invention, the thermal heater which is used to heat compressed air from the high pressure storage tank, through the system for recovering ambient or non-ambient thermal energy is also used, independently or in combination with the two solutions described above, i.e. directly from the storage tank or through the heat recovery unit, to reheat compressed air taken from the engine's suction and compression chamber, thus increasing its pressure and / or its volume before reintroducing it into the combustion and / or expansion to allow the latter to increase pressure gases contained in said chamber before expansion in the expansion and exhaust cylinder which causes the motor time.
L'air comprimé qui est envoyé dans le réchauffeur thermique provient du réservoir de stockage, du dispositif de récupération d'énergie thermique ambiante, d'un prélèvement dans la chambre d'aspiration et de compression séparément ou en combinaison, dans des proportions déterminées en fonction des conditions d'utilisation.The compressed air which is sent to the thermal heater comes from the storage, of the device for recovering ambient thermal energy, of a sample from the suction and compression chamber separately or in combination, in proportions determined according to the conditions of use.
