Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of exhaust gas powered turbochargers. It relates to a method for cooling the compressor impeller.
- Cooling with a gas is associated with less effort, because the gaseous cooling medium only has to be directed at the component to be cooled and flow around it. Often the gas is not recovered, i.e. no complex circuit and no heat exchanger are necessary. However, the cooling effect is limited.
- the invention has for its object to provide an efficient method for cooling the compressor wheel of an exhaust gas turbocharger.
- a cooling liquid is applied to the surface of the rotating compressor wheel that comes into contact with the gaseous medium to be compressed.
- the coolant evaporates at least partially due to the high temperatures of the compressor wheel.
- the temperature of the coolant drops and the cooled liquid thus has a cooling effect on the compressor wheel.
- the cooling liquid is advantageously applied to the surface of the compressor wheel by supplying the cooling liquid to the gaseous medium upstream of the compressor wheel.
- the figure shows schematically the cooling according to the invention on a compressor wheel. Way of carrying out the invention
- An exhaust gas turbocharger mainly consists of a compressor and an exhaust gas turbine.
- the compressor mainly comprises a housing and a compressor wheel arranged rotatably on a shaft in the housing.
- the housing surrounds an inflow channel, through which the air, as the medium to be compressed, is guided to the compressor wheel.
- the air is compressed by blades on the compressor wheel and then fed to a fuel engine through an outflow channel.
- an evaporable cooling liquid is added to the medium to be compressed upstream of the compressor wheel, that is to say before the flow reaches the compressor wheel and is consequently still not compressed and has a correspondingly low temperature.
- the cooling liquid is water or a water mixture.
- the cooling liquid is advantageously injected into the flow channel as a mist from many very fine droplets by means of at least one nozzle.
- the droplets advantageously have a diameter of less than 20 micrometers, with special nozzles even droplets with a diameter of less than 3 micrometers can be produced. The finer the droplets, the better the vaporizability. Shortly after the injection, due to the high friction heat mixing with the strong flow, the droplets partially evaporate, which lowers the temperature of the sprayed liquid mist.
- the compressor wheel must compress the combustion air for the engine as high as possible. Although the air is heated by the compression, the static temperature in the compressor channels is not particularly high due to the fast main flow in the compressor channels. However, heat flows which is formed by the deceleration and the intense friction on the back of the compressor wheel, from the back through the material of the compressor wheel and is released into the main flow via the surface.
- the droplets 21 come close to or against the wall of the compressor wheel 1, they are braked in the boundary layer (a) and can form a thin film 22.
- This film from the injected coolant absorbs heat on the one hand from the hot compressor wheel (e) and on the other hand due to friction from the main flow 3, since the speed difference between the main flow and the area of the film is much higher (b). Because of this heat absorption, at least a part of the film 23 is removed in gaseous form in the flow 3 by evaporation (c). The unevaporated part of the liquid film 24 is released into the flow again by the large, centrifugal forces (d). The evaporation has a cooling effect on the film and on the surface of the compressor wheel.
- the surface temperature is in the range of the so-called "wet bulb” temperature, i.e. the temperature that a moistened thermometer measures in the flow and which is lower than the temperature of the flow.
- the method according to the invention is extremely efficient.
- the use of the cooling method according to the invention is particularly interesting for compressors of turbochargers, since the compressor wheel is very difficult to cool with other methods.
- cooling the main flow improves compressor efficiency and water vapor reduces the NOx emissions of the internal combustion engine connected to the turbocharger.
- the compressor wheels of ordinary turbochargers are made of aluminum for economic reasons.
- the creep rupture strength of the material decreases very strongly with the temperature, which is the limit of use of aluminum compressors today limited to pressure ratios of about 5. If water is injected into the air flow shortly before the wheel enters, a significant reduction in the material temperature can be achieved, which allows pressure ratios up to 6 or 7 to be reached without having to switch to materials that are sometimes more expensive, such as titanium.
