Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combined piston expander compressor with a plurality of pistons mechanically coupled by a piston rod.
  • Such devices are used for example in thermodynamic links processes for coupling relaxation and compression of refrigerants in a cycle.
  • Combined piston expander compressors are particularly advantageously used for the refrigerant carbon dioxide.
  • Refrigeration systems or heat pumps with the refrigerant carbon dioxide are preferably carried out with several work-performing expansion steps, the energy is used to compress the carbon dioxide to a higher pressure.
  • a piston expansion machine which discloses the free piston principle for a thermodynamic link process with work-performing expansion of the refrigerant.
  • the energy for compressing the refrigerant to the high-pressure stage is generated by the work-performing depressions of several expanders.
  • the pistons of the piston expansion machine and the high-pressure compressor are mechanically coupled to a common piston rod.
  • the compression stage is preferably carried out in two stages, wherein the compressor of the low-pressure stage compresses the refrigerant to medium pressure and the subsequent compression to high pressure is carried out by the working expansion by means of the coupled piston expansion machine.
  • Combined piston expander compressors with multi-stage expansion are constructive and manufacturing technically very elaborate devices.
  • the known devices have the disadvantage that the Manufacturing tolerances in a plurality of piston arranged on a piston rod and the associated, required for controlling main and auxiliary slides must be very low to allow the proper functioning of the devices.
  • the high demands on the manufacturing quality lead to exceptionally high costs and also to very difficult to handle assemblies, which lead in the assembly in practice to long assembly times and rework.
  • a combined piston-expander compressor with several double-acting piston of the expander and a high-pressure compressor piston which are mechanically coupled by a piston rod, and a main spool, an auxiliary spool and a control valve for controlling the piston rod in that the main spool is constructed of a plurality of non-interconnected slider bodies.
  • two outer slider body are provided, which are designed as a small piston and a large piston, being arranged between these outer Schieberkörpem control piston with controlling edges and simple slider body.
  • a pressure difference acting on the outer slider body means that the main slider automatically holds together mechanically, without mechanical connections between the individual slider bodies being required.
  • a driver plate is further provided on the piston rod, which is formed as a function of the dead positions of the piston rod engaging in the auxiliary slide and this moving.
  • the driver plate is preferred as a circular concentric Spring steel plate formed.
  • a control valve is still provided between the auxiliary slide and the main slide.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of a constructive nature can be achieved in that cylinder cover and cylinder housing are alternately provided and finally a driver housing, which are held together by tie rods. Seals, in particular metal seals, are provided between the adjacent components.
  • the double-acting piston of the expander, the high-pressure compressor piston and arranged between the piston piston rod sleeves and the drive plate are connected by a central screw.
  • Piston rings are preferably provided as sealing elements on the pistons and on the piston rod sleeves.
  • the connection between the main spool and the expansion cylinders are designed as overflow channels in the form of bores.
  • the connection between the main spool and the connectors are made as milled channels in cylinder covers or cylinder housing
  • the concept of the invention is that the construction of the main slide of a plurality of non-interconnected slider bodies, a device element is formed, which can be made in a particularly efficient manner from individual parts, and which in the assembly piece by piece, without additional mechanical connections with each other in the Device can be used, so that no costly centering and positioning work for the assembly of the main spool are required. This results in significant cost and time savings from a manufacturing point of view.
  • the expander consists in multi-stage relaxation according to the invention essentially of the number of stages corresponding to a plurality of double-acting piston, which are arranged in the associated cylinders.
  • the relaxation work of the expander will be on the same double-acting piston of the high pressure compressor via the common piston rod transferred.
  • the use of a common piston rod requires that by appropriate approaches to the cylinder covers all cylinders are aligned in order not to have to hold overly large games. Small games are basically important for the inner tightness of the machine.
  • the basic idea of the invention is that a multi-part main slide is used, which however always has to be held together by corresponding pressure forces of the two outer slider bodies.
  • the main spool preferably consists of three different types of spool valve, of which only the double spool, the control piston, have a controlling function.
  • the outer pistons, the small piston and the large piston have different diameters for a reversal of the direction of force during reversal.
  • the smaller piston is always at high pressure, the large but alternately applied with high or evaporator pressure.
  • This is realized with the auxiliary slide, which is moved shortly before reaching the dead positions of the piston rod by a driver plate.
  • This is designed as a circular concentric spring steel plate and firmly connected to the piston rod.
  • auxiliary and main slide is still an adjustable throttle valve
  • the control valve with the changeover time, the dwell time in the dead positions can be changed.
  • the frequency of the expander and thus the flow rate can be influenced so that, for example, overheating at the evaporator can be regulated.
  • the inner skin slider body have so-called controlling edges and control in the dead positions, the pressurization of the working piston according to the direction of movement.
  • a multi-stage full pressure principle is realized, which is characterized by a filling and pushing out over the entire stroke and the one-stage expansion control with partial filling in terms of effectiveness in no way inferior.
  • the decisive advantage lies in the simple control and the better force curve with direct coupling of expander and compressor.
  • Fig. 1 an inventive combined piston expander compressor is shown in cross section.
  • the combined piston-expander compressor consists of several cylinder covers 5, cylinder housings 10 and the driver housing 11.
  • the cylinders of the expansion stages are lined up according to the temperature gradient.
  • the components are held together by tie rods 12. Between the housing parts are thin, soft metal seals 13.
  • the pistons of Expandernicin 3 and high-pressure compressor 14, the driver plate 8 and piston rod sleeves 15 are held together by a central screw 16. All working and sliding pistons 3, 14, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d or piston rod sleeves 15 have piston rings 17 as sealing elements. Due to the length of the bore 15 piston rings 17 are also used as sealing elements on the piston rod sleeves.
  • the housing parts also numerous holes are present, for example, connect the driver housing 11 to the evaporator pressure p 0 and the small piston 6a on the main slide 6 to the high pressure p H.
  • the pressure ports on the auxiliary slide 7 are realized. While the transfer ports between the main spool 6 and the expansion cylinders are designed as bores through the cylinder housings 10, milled passages in the cylinder covers and cylinder housings 5, 10 serve as connection to the connector 18.
  • the high pressure compressor piston 14 compresses refrigerant from medium pressure to high pressure, with the mechanical energy for the compression process is provided by the expansion of the refrigerant via the double-acting piston 3 in the individual working spaces E 1 , E 2 and E 3 available.
  • Fig. 2 the device according to the invention in the sectional view A - A with reference to Fig. 1 shown in cross section.
  • the main slide 6 is shown in the connection with the auxiliary slide 7 and the control valve 9.
  • the flow directions of the refrigerant are exemplified at the inputs and outputs by arrows.
  • the main spool 6 with its components, small piston 6a, large piston 6b and control piston 6c and the simple Schieberkörpem 6d, is in an exploded view in Fig. 3 shown.
  • the slider bodies are not mechanically connected to each other according to the concept of the invention.
  • the slider bodies are held together by a pressure difference between the refrigerant acting on the small piston 6a and on the large piston 6b.
  • the small piston 6a is inventively always under high pressure, whereas the large piston 6b is alternately applied with evaporation pressure or high pressure.
  • control pistons 6c are double-acting and have controlling edges. They are sealed just like the simple slider body 6d with piston rings 17. Depending on the number of expansion stages, a number of control pistons 6c are provided between which simple slide bodies 6d are arranged in each case. At the outer ends of the control piston or the main spool is limited by the small piston 6a and the large piston 6b.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous because the individual control pistons 6c are constructed identically, and also the simple ones Slider body 6d are each of identical design, which reduces the manufacturing cost of the device task.
  • the small piston 6a and the simple slider body 6d are structurally identical, which further reduces the cost of the device.
  • Fig. 4 the cylinder housing of the high pressure compressor in cross section in the sectional configuration B - B with respect to Fig. 1 shown.
  • the springs 1 and the automatic ball valves 2 can be seen in this illustration.
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross section of the driver housing 11 in section C - C with respect to Fig. 1 ,
  • the driver plate 8 and the auxiliary slide 7 can be seen in plan view.
  • Fig. 6 a shows a cyclic process in the flow chart, which can be realized in principle with the device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 6b shows a preferred application of the in the figures Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 shown combined piston expander compressor, wherein three expansion stages are provided and between the second and third expansion stage, a liquid separation is provided.
  • most of the evaporators will be very far away from the remaining components of the refrigeration systems, which is why it is necessary to transport refrigerant near the ambient temperature with little heat input to the evaporators.
  • only the liquid is passed from the separator between the second and third expansion stage to the throttle valves of the evaporator, since this can absorb the majority of heat of evaporation.
  • the vapor content also has the main share of working capacity and will be in the subsequent stage work-relaxing and then cools the liquid flow from the separator.
  • FIG. 1 shows a process in which a parallel relaxation is performed, resulting in a performance increase. Also for this process, the combined piston-expander compressor can be used advantageously, since the necessary working spaces in the illustrated embodiment of the invention are in principle present.
