Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of laser ignition of gas mixtures. It is directed in particular to an ignition device for igniting a flammable or explosive gas mixture in a main combustion chamber, in particular for igniting a fuel-air mixture or fuel gas-air mixture in an internal combustion engine, comprising a high-temperature resistant absorber body, the entstammendem in contact with the main combustion chamber Gas mixture is arranged and having a gas mixture facing the combustion chamber inside, and a Lichtleitweg for guiding a laser beam to the absorber body for heating the absorber body with the laser beam until reaching an ignition temperature required for igniting the gas mixture on the combustion chamber inside the absorber body, the Lichtleitweg to to the absorber body is formed such that the laser beam has no direct contact with the gas mixture of the main combustion chamber, and a corresponding method.
- the invention is directed to an ignition device and a method for igniting fuel gas-air mixtures with a heated by a laser beam hot-spot surface with quickly changeable temperatures.
- Lasers for generating laser beams are known in the prior art (see, for example, DE 39 26 956 Al). Further, laser ignitions are known in the prior art, in which the laser beam is focused on a position within the combustion chamber, ie in the combustion chamber a certain Route runs through the gas mixture to be ignited. This focus is either on an absorber, which converts the laser light into heat, or directly in the gas mixture in the combustion chamber. These laser ignitions do not ignite with the desired reliability. In recent years, various laser ignition devices have been proposed for internal combustion engines. However, these have hitherto been very expensive or complex (DE 28 49 458 A1, DE 199 11 737 A1, US Pat. No.
- a major disadvantage of such laser ignitions is that they only produce an extremely small ignition core, and in connection with the comparatively coarse-grained flow and turbulence structure in the combustion chamber, in particular of large gas engines, locally very strongly fluctuating charge states (composition, temperature, velocity , Turbulence) exist. This results in greater fluctuations in the ignition and thus in particular the torque of the engine. Furthermore, there is the particular problem in lean operation that the mixture extinguished immediately after the ignition, since too much heat is removed from the flame kernel. For the above reasons, therefore, the ignition and combustion potential of the laser ignition can not be fully utilized.
- the document DE 22 07 392 A discloses a generic Zündvor- direction.
- hot spot laser ignition to be designated ignition devices in which the ignition by heating a directed to the combustion chamber surface by means of a laser, but not enforced, because thus the ignition not with the required reliability of the high-frequency ignition pulses of internal combustion engines, especially at higher speeds, or with sufficiently long life.
- WO 2004/001221 A1 describes a starting aid for an internal combustion engine in which a surface arranged in the combustion chamber is heated by means of a laser beam. This surface is heated constantly and is, for example, a glow stick projecting into the combustion chamber or another point in the combustion chamber. An atechamber is not provided.
- a prechamber ignition with a laser was proposed in DE 10 2006 018 973 A1 published after the priority date of the present application.
- the laser is focused on a Zündort, which is located in the gas-air mixture within the antechamber.
- a further prechamber ignition with a laser was proposed in DE 10 2005 050 435 A1 published after the priority date of the present application.
- a laser By means of a laser while a portion of the receiving device of a laser heater is heated, which protrudes into the pre-chamber space.
- the geometry and the material of the heated portion of the receiving device are adapted to the required ignition conditions.
- the use of a separate absorber body which is heated by the laser is not disclosed.
- the invention has for its object to improve the properties of the known hot-spot laser ignitions such that it is applicable in practical operation in internal combustion engines.
- An ignition device for igniting a combustible or explosive gas mixture in a main combustion chamber, in particular for igniting a fuel-air mixture or fuel gas-air mixture in an internal combustion engine, comprising a high-temperature resistant absorber body arranged in contact with the main combustion chamber entstammendem gas mixture is and which has a gas mixture facing the combustion chamber inside, and a Lichtleitweg for guiding a laser beam to the absorber body for heating the absorber body with the laser beam until reaching an ignition temperature required for the ignition of the gas mixture on the combustion chamber inside the absorber body, wherein the Lichtleitweg up to the Absorbent body is designed such that the laser beam has no direct contact with the gas mixture of the main combustion chamber, so has the peculiarity that the absorber body on the combustion chamber inside a prechamber with at least one it is upstream of the prechamber and the main combustion chamber connecting overflow, wherein the combustion chamber inside the absorber body faces the gas mixture of the prechamber and the Lichtleitweg is formed to
- a corresponding method for igniting a combustible or explosive gas mixture in a main combustion chamber in particular for igniting a fuel-air mixture or fuel gas-air mixture in an internal combustion engine, in which a high temperature resistant absorber body with a combustion chamber inside facing combustion chamber inside in contact The gas mixture is arranged entstammendem the main combustion chamber, and along a Lichtleitweges a laser beam is passed to the absorber body, wherein the absorber body is heated with the laser beam until on the combustion chamber inside the absorber body required for the ignition of the gas mixture ignition temperature is achieved, wherein the Lichtleitweg bis to the absorber body in such a way is formed so that the laser beam has no direct contact with the gas mixture of the main combustion chamber, has the peculiarity that the absorber body on the combustion chamber inside an antechamber is preceded by at least one connecting the prechamber and the main combustion space overflow, wherein the combustion chamber inside the absorber body the gas mixture of Pre-chamber facing arranged and the Lichtleitweg is formed
- the Lichtleitweg is formed to the absorber body such that the laser beam has no direct contact with the gas mixture of the combustion chamber or the antechamber, it should be understood that the combustion chamber or the antechamber is completely sealed against the Lichtleitweg Thus, the laser beam does not pass through the main combustion chamber or the pre-chamber or not through the gas mixture to be ignited therein.
- Prechamber ignition is known in conventional ignition methods based on electric spark ignition.
- Prechamber ignition devices in particular prechamber spark plugs, have been known for many years and have also been introduced into the series, in particular in the case of lean and / or exhaust gas recirculation stationarily operated gas engines. They are mainly used to reduce the raw NOx emission of an internal combustion engine while maintaining low fuel consumption and torque fluctuation. In English-speaking countries such detonators are referred to as prochamber spark plugs.
- the pre-chamber of an electric pre-chamber spark plug is a small, an area around and / or before the ignition electrodes lying space against the main combustion chamber delimiting chamber, usually with several circumferentially arranged holes and a central narrow bore, which as overflow or, in particular at greater wall thickness of the prechamber , referred to as overflow channels, is provided.
- these narrow holes represent a high flow resistance; As a result, the compression pressure can only be delayed in the prechamber.
- Embodiments of pre-chamber ignitions with and without a corresponding piston recess, into which the pre-chamber is immersed in the compression stroke, are known.
- pre-chamber spark plugs with enrichment of the fuel-air mixture in the piston recess arises when immersing the pre-chamber in the piston recess a pressure gradient between the main combustion chamber and pre-chamber, so that the rich fuel-air mixture that has been collected in the piston recess, through the narrow Drilling at high flow rate enters the prechamber.
- an ignitable, highly turbulent, relatively homogeneous mixture is formed in the prechamber at the ignition time. This mixture is dependent neither on a special charge movement in the cylinder nor on a special injection jet geometry. After the ignition, the flames shoot as a result of the positive pressure gradient through the narrow holes in the main combustion chamber and quickly capture the remaining, relatively lean fuel-air mixture.
- the emerging flame jets rapidly and simultaneously involve large areas of the lean fuel-air mixture in the main combustion chamber in the combustion.
- the intense penetration of the flame front in the main combustion chamber leads to a faster and more complete fuel conversion than with a spherical flame propagation emanating from an ignition point.
- the mixture Due to the flow conditions during compression and the increasing pressure difference between the main combustion chamber and the prechamber, which induces a flow from the prechamber environment into the interior of the prechamber, the mixture, which is located in the vicinity of a piston depression, flows via the overflow holes into the prechamber.
- the mixture By high flow velocities when flowing a good mixture formation for the heterogeneous fuel-air mixture of the cylinder and thus particularly ignitable mixture is generated in the pre-chamber.
- the Mixture formation is thus decoupled from the underlying cylinder internal flow, so that negative influences from cyclic fluctuations of the flow are minimized.
- the flamed mixture shoots in the form of torch jets as a result of the strong pressure increase over the prechamber holes in the main combustion chamber and there ignites the heterogeneous basic mixture
- the ignition process in the main combustion chamber is therefore triggered by a preceding prechamber ignition process.
- This pre-chamber ignition process comprises two stages, namely a charging step and a discharging step, in the case of prechamber spark plugs having electrodes.
- the charging step the prechamber is filled with a fresh gas-air mixture by the compression stroke of the engine or piston. This residual gas from the previous ignition is pressed into a rearward area. This achieves a very rapid ignition of the ignition mixture in the antechamber during ignition.
- the pressure and the temperature in the antechamber rise very rapidly, so that the combustion products are pressed in the form of torch jets through the overflow of the pre-chamber in the main combustion chamber and trigger the ignition of the gas mixture.
- the improvement of the properties of a laser ignition in an internal combustion engine is based on the displacement of the ignition point or the ignition area in an antechamber, in particular a pre-chamber spark plug.
- a fuel-air mixture is supplied from the main combustion chamber via overflow openings to the prechamber.
- a flame of the mixture with the laser ignition wherein at the ignition a particularly favorable for the laser ignition flow state is generated, which allows the safe ignition of the mixture.
- the invention of a combination of the hot-spot laser ignition with a pre-chamber arrangement improves the properties of hot-spot laser ignition, especially in large gas engines, in terms of safety and uniformity of ignition and combustion, while high long-term properties, especially for the characteristics of the coupling the laser ignition energy, and reduces the effort to improve the ignition of pre-chamber spark plugs, in particular a safe ignition and uniform energy conversion at air ratios lambda> 2.0 is achieved, which is not possible with the respective individual system (hot-spot laser ignition, prechamber ignition) ,
- the invention has the following advantages:
- the invention can set ignition timing in spark-ignition engines precisely and reproducibly.
- a peculiarity of the flow in the antechamber is the fine-balled turbulence structure. Therefore, the combination of a hot-spot laser ignition with a prechamber to achieve a much safer ignition than with a laser ignition or hot spot laser ignition without prechamber.
- the ignition of the gas mixture in the antechamber is further supported by the comparatively higher wall temperatures of the antechamber with lower heat losses than in the main combustion chamber.
- the favorable ignition conditions make it possible to design the hotspot in such a way that the smallest possible substrate surface (approx. 0.5 mm diameter) must be changed by the smallest possible increase in temperature. This reduces the cost and economic operation can be achieved.
- the invention provides an ignition device for igniting fuel gas-air mixtures with high ignition pulse frequency in the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine.

- FIG. 8 is a detail view of FIG. 7.
- the main combustion chamber 1 is equal to the ignited by the hot-spot combustion chamber.
- the ignition device is designed in the form of a spark plug 2 which can be mounted in the wall of a cylinder head 18.
- the spark plug 2 comprises an external thread 3 and a seal 4, whereby it can be screwed sealingly into the wall of the cylinder head 18.
- It comprises a high-temperature-resistant absorber body 5, which is arranged in contact with the main combustion chamber 1 entstammendem gas mixture, with a gas mixture, namely the gas mixture in an antechamber 10 facing the combustion chamber inner side.
- the spark plug 2 comprises a Lichtleitweg for guiding a laser beam 7 on the absorber body 5 for heating the Absorberkör- pers 5 with the laser beam 7 until reaching a required for the ignition of the gas mixture ignition temperature on the combustion chamber inside 6 of the absorber body 5, wherein the Lichtleitweg to is formed to the absorber body 5 such that the laser beam 7 no direct Kon- clock to the gas mixture of the main combustion chamber 1 or the antechamber
- the laser 8 and possibly a laser beam optics 9 can be integrated into the spark plug 2.
- the spark plug 2 includes an antechamber 10, which is upstream of the absorber body 5 on the combustion chamber inner side 6 and the over-chamber 10 and the main combustion chamber 1 connecting overflow openings 11.
- the pre-chamber 10 is formed as a hollow cylinder and advantageously comprises between 1 and 20, preferably 3 to 8 overflow openings 11.
- 11 may extend axially and / or radially and / or obliquely, relative to the axis in the longitudinal section shown in FIG. 1, through the wall of the pre-chamber 10.
- the absorber body 5 is preferably not arranged flush with the wall in the pre-chamber 10, but protrudes on a base or projection 19 a piece in the antechamber 10 into it.
- the absorber body 5 is then arranged on a projection 19 which projects into the prechamber 10 with a certain depth of immersion.
- the immersion depth of the projection 19 into the pre-chamber 10 is advantageously between 5% and 35%, preferably between 10% and 25% of the (axial) length of the prechamber 10.
- This projection 19 has advantages for creating a "breathing space" for the Mixture formation in the prechamber 10, the formation of a favorable flow in the prechamber 10 and the ignition behavior of the gas mixture.
- the absorber body 5 When the spark plug 2 is screwed into the wall of the main combustion chamber 1, ie, into the cylinder head 18, the absorber body 5 is arranged in the region of the wall of the main combustion chamber 1.
- the absorber body 5 is a high temperature resistant substrate with or without coating.
- the setting of the temperature of the pre-chamber 10 surface facing the combustion chamber inside 6, carried out by timed heating the back of the absorber body 5, its prechamber 10 facing away from the combustion chamber outside 14.
- the heating is done by the pulsed laser beam 7, the best possible absorbent back substrate surface hits.
- the surface temperature of the protruding into the pre-chamber 10 combustion chamber inside 6 is below the temperature required for the mixture ignition. By switching on the laser pulse, the surface temperature is increased so far that a safe mixture ignition takes place. About the time of heating the ignition timing of the mixture is set and controlled.
- the spark plug 2 with an in particular substantially cylindrical pre-chamber 10 in the form of a screwed into a cylinder head assembly 18 has a plurality of overflow openings 11, which establish a connection between the prechamber 10 and the main combustion chamber 1.
- the preferably centrally arranged laser device 8 has a beam optics 9, which focuses the laser beam 7 on the absorber body 5, so that it forms an ignition point.
- the inlet beams produced in the overflow openings 11 during the compression stroke in the pre-chamber 10 advantageously meet with their axes in a meeting point substantially close to the axis, which is located in the region of the absorber body 5 or away from it.
- the meeting point and its surroundings is a selected area within the pre-chamber 10 with high and particularly feinballiger turbulence, which is particularly in connection with the very short discharge of the laser 8 with high short-term performance in an excellent manner to a safe ignition of the mixture in the prechamber 10th , with a desired fast-growing flame core.
- the ignition that the fuel-air mixture to be ignited on the absorber body 5 passes from the main combustion chamber 1 to the ignition point during the compression stroke of the engine.
- the incombustible residual gas from the previous working cycle which is still present in the prechamber 10 at the beginning of the compression, is displaced by the forming flow into the rear part of the prechamber 10 during the compression stroke.
- this leads to particularly small fluctuations of the mixture composition and mixture temperature, because in particular as a result of the inflow of the gas via the overflow openings 11 from different regions of the main combustion chamber 1 in front of the prechamber 10, the mixture composition and the mixture temperature at the absorber body 5 are respectively averaged. Due to the substantially near-axis position of the ignition point, the extinguishing effects due to solid surfaces on the flame core forming after ignition are also particularly low.
- the formation of a suitable flow in the prechamber 10 can be improved if the prechamber has overflow openings 11 which run tangentially, as shown in the cross section in FIG. 2, which is in the plane of the oblique overflow openings 11 in FIG runs.
- the overflow openings 11 are not directed to the axis, but (obliquely) tangentially to a circle extending around the axis whose radius can be between zero and the radius of the prechamber 10.
- an advantageous rotational flow in the prechamber 10 is formed.
- FIG. 1 shows a prechamber spark plug with a front prechamber 12 and rear prechamber 13, with the overflow openings 11 opening into the front prechamber 12.

- the axial flow component has the effect that only fresh mixture from the main combustion chamber 1 at the hot spot is present at the ignition time and, after the fresh mixture has ignited, the flame propagation in the rear prechamber 13 is greatly accelerated by the existing rotary flow.
- the rapid ignition also detects the existing mixture in the front pre-chamber 12 and torch jets in the main combustion chamber 1, which cause a particularly rapid and uniform conversion of the main mixture in the main combustion chamber 1.
- the prechamber 10 is divided in the axial direction into a front prechamber 12 and a rear prechamber 13, wherein the rear prechamber 13 is located farther from the main combustion chamber 1 than the front prechamber 12 and wherein the diameter of the rear prechamber 13 greater than the diameter of the front prechamber 12.
- the diameter of the rear pre-chamber 13 is between 5% and 100%, preferably between 10% and 30% greater than the diameter of the front prechamber 12.
- the (axial) length of the rear prechamber 13 is advantageously between 5% and 200%, preferably between 10% and 80% of the length of the front pre-chamber 12.
