Definitions

  • the invention relates to a working fluid for a
  • Steam cycle processes serve to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy and are used, for example, for energy generation units which generate a heat flow by means of a burner device, which is supplied to a steam generator.
  • a working medium is vaporized by supplying heat, wherein the resulting vapor phase relaxed by performing mechanical work in an expander and subsequently condensed in the condenser.
  • the condensate is fed to a reservoir, from which by means of a feed pump for the working medium of the renewed influx to the steam generator takes place.
  • a steam engine can also be used to utilize the waste heat of an internal combustion engine, for example, by the exhaust gas stream is fed to a heat exchanger device in the steam generator.
  • a heat exchanger device in the steam generator in the steam generator.
  • the mechanical power generated in the expander can then be at least indirectly supplied to a shaft of the drive system or there is a drive of an electric generator through the expander.
  • a device for carrying out a steam cycle process can be designed as an auxiliary unit utilizing the waste heat of a main drive machine, which either supports the propulsion of the vehicle by engine or provides electrical energy for secondary consumers.
  • BEST ⁇ nGUNGSKOPte large temperature difference between the vapor phase and the condensate exists. This presupposes that the working medium remains thermally stable up to high temperatures, typically above 400 ° C.
  • peripheral components of the drive system are to be lubricated, typically for this purpose a separate lubricant circuit is provided with a separate from the working fluid for operating the steam engine lubricant.
  • the operating fluid for a steam cycle process comprises additives to the working fluid. These can form an azeotrope with the working medium.
  • An example of this is disclosed by DE 103 28 289 B3, which proposes a mixture of water and at least one heterocyclic compound as operating liquid for a steam cycle process and additional, miscible polymers, surface-active and / or other organic lubricants.
  • a heterocyclic compound in particular, 2-methylpyridine, 3-methylpyridine, pyridine, pyrrole and pyridazine are proposed. Due to the use of the heterocyclic compound, the freezing point of the working fluid is set below 0 ° C.
  • the heterocyclic compound forms an azeotrope with water, so that this goes into the gas phase together with the water content in the steam generator.
  • lubricants are also transported in the vapor phase to perform a self-lubrication to the expander.
  • a disadvantage of the known operating fluids for steam cycle processes is their toxicity, so that expensive precautions must be taken to to prevent leakage of the operating fluid or its gas phase safe. When used in vehicles, especially motor vehicles, however, this can not be completely ruled out with regard to possible accident hazards.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a working fluid for a steam cycle process, which enables a cold start of the steam cycle process at any time, in particular for the discontinuous operation and longer downtimes even at low ambient temperatures, and in particular ensures the antifreeze safety of the system.
  • the operating fluid should be environmentally friendly and, in particular, non-toxic to plants and animals and should be distinguished by a high level of accident safety.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a method with which the steam cycle can be operated with the operating fluid so that it is designed as energy efficient as possible, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
  • the operating fluid for the steam cycle process is additionally intended to lubricate the circulating components of the steam engine and, in the case of a vehicle application, preferably to lubricate the moving parts of the drive system including the internal combustion engine.
  • the operating fluid comprises at least two components.
  • the first component represents a working medium used for the actual operation of the steam cycle process. Accordingly, an evaporation of the working medium by heat in the steam generator, a subsequent relaxation by performing mechanical work in the expander and then a condensation with recycling of the condensate, typically via a reservoir and a feed pump, to re-enter the circuit, that is, for re-evaporation in the steam generator.
  • Another component of the operating fluid according to the invention for the steam cycle process is an antifreeze, which under normal operating conditions substantially no evaporation in the steam generator and only serves to keep the operating liquid in the reservoir liquid at low outdoor temperatures and thus to allow a cold start of the system.
  • the antifreeze also has lubricant properties.
  • the antifreeze used is an ionic liquid, the mixture of ionic liquid and working medium having a melting point which is below the freezing point of the pure working medium.
  • water is used as the preferred working medium so that a melting point for the mixture of the selected ionic liquid and water is below 0 ° C.
  • a melting point below -5 0 C, more preferably below -10 0 C and particularly preferably below -30 0 C.
  • a pressure of 1 bar is assumed for all temperature data.
  • a mixture between an ionic liquid suitable for antifreeze and the working medium is understood here to mean that each of the two components has at least a minimum weight fraction of 0.01% by weight of the mixture. In this case, preferably no complex formations are present in the mixture between the ionic liquid and the working medium so as not to have to break any substantial binding forces in order to evaporate the working medium.
  • an inventive mixture of ionic liquid and working medium in a proportion of 99.99 gw .-% to 0,01gw .-% working medium has a melting point for the mixture which is below 0 0 C, preferably below -5 0 C, and more preferably below -10 0 C and more preferably below -30 0 C.
  • the pure ionic liquid used for the mixture has a melting point which is above the freezing point of the pure working medium.
  • an ionic liquid can be used which is in pure form in the temperature interval 0 - 100 0 C melts. The required antifreeze effect therefore only exists in the mixture of ionic liquid and working medium.
  • the melting point of the mixture in the present case is understood to be the temperature of the crystallization boundary of the mixture, so that the mixture above the melting point is liquid and can be pumped out of a reservoir.
  • the melting point of the mixture depends on the mixing ratio between ionic liquid and working medium.
  • the characteristic of a melting point lying below the freezing point of the pure working medium should at least be in a mixing ratio range which is present in a collecting reservoir of a stopped, cold steam cycle device.
  • a weight fraction of the working medium of at least 10 gw .-% and at most 90 gw .-% is assumed, more preferably the interval 20 gw .-% to 80 gw .-% for the proportion of working medium.
  • the weight ratio of the ionic liquid to the working medium is in the range of 60:40 to 40:60.
  • the above-mentioned temperature condition with respect to the melting point of the mixture of ionic liquid and working fluid for the prevailing system pressure apply.
  • a ventilated reservoir for the operating fluid is assumed.
  • the mixing ratio in the operating fluid may shift with increasing temperature. This may result in substantially complete separation of the ionic liquid from the working medium. It is conceivable within the scope of the invention, the mixing ratio in Move operation to temperature so far that the temperature condition for the melting point of the mixture, as lying below the freezing point of the working medium for certain operating phases is no longer met. This is still understood as part of the invention. After the plant has stopped, the mixing ratio is returned to a collection reservoir to ensure frost protection again.
  • Ionic liquids owe their low melting point to poor ion coordination.
  • the delocalized charges are responsible for this, whereby typically at least one ion is based on an organic molecule and the formation of a stable crystal lattice is prevented even at low temperatures.
  • Typical of ionic liquids is the choice of their physical / chemical properties by the choice of cations / anion pairing, so that it is possible to tailor an ionic liquid for the operating liquid according to the invention for the steam cycle process so that when mixed with the working medium a low melting point in the sense a frost protection effect arises.
  • a particular advantage of ionic liquids for use as part of a working fluid for a steam cycle is that the ionic liquid is characterized by a vanishing vapor pressure up to its decomposition temperature. If the decomposition temperature is set by an appropriate choice of the cations / anion pairing for the ionic liquid such that it lies above the temperature of the liquid phase of the operating liquid in the steam generator, it is possible that the ionic liquid does not pass into the gas phase like the actual working medium and Expander is passed. This results in a simple way of separating the ionic liquid from the operating fluid, in the event that the operating temperature of the steam cycle process is achieved, or that a temperature is present in the system in which frost protection is no longer necessary.
  • the withdrawn ionic liquid or a branched, enriched with ionic liquid mixture containing a reduced proportion of working medium can be used for further development of the invention for lubrication.
  • expander lubrication is particularly suitable for this purpose.
  • additional components to be lubricated can be supplied. This also includes the lubrication of rotating parts of an internal combustion engine, which is combined as a hybrid drive with the steam engine, a.
  • the operating method comprises the following steps:
  • the starting point is initially the stoppage of the steam cycle in cold outside temperatures.
  • the operating fluid is collected in a reservoir and contains a mixture comprising the working fluid, which is provided for evaporation in the steam generator, and the ionic liquid, which acts as antifreeze in the mixture, so that even at low ambient temperatures, the operating fluid at standstill of the steam cycle in liquid a reservoir is present.
  • thermal energy is supplied to the steam generator, for example via an exhaust gas stream from an internal combustion engine.
  • the operating fluid enters the steam generator.
  • the feeder can for example by means of a Feed pump can be realized.
  • evaporation of the working medium takes place while the ionic liquid generates a vapor pressure approaching zero and is returned to the reservoir.
  • the recirculation does not take place to a reservoir, but to a separate tank for the ionic liquid.
  • the vaporous working fluid is fed to the condenser after its expansion and operation in the expander, according to an advantageous embodiment, the resulting condensate of the working medium is not returned to the reservoir, but a separate tank for the working fluid is supplied.
  • This measure creates a progressive separation of the ionic liquid and the working medium. It should be noted that this separation should advantageously be made only above a certain operating temperature. Therefore, the operating temperature can be measured at different points in the apparatus for carrying out the steam cycle process, wherein advantageously the location of the temperature measurement, the operating fluid can be used in the reservoir. If a certain temperature is reached in the reservoir, which is above the freezing point of the working medium, the above-described separation of the working medium and the ionic liquid can be made. In this case, different separation methods can be used.
  • a switch can be made and the reservoir can be separated from the steam generator and instead an exclusive liquid supply from the tank for the working fluid can be made.
  • This switching characterizes the operation of the steam cycle process to temperature, in which essentially the working medium without the ionic liquid comes into contact with the heat flow in the steam generator and passes through the steam cycle.
  • the separated ionic liquid can be combined with the other components of the operating fluid at a correspondingly low ambient temperature.
  • mixing takes place only below a lower limit temperature in the reservoir for the operating fluid.
  • the renewed mixing can also take place after a predetermined time interval after switching off the steam cycle process or one of its subcomponents, for example the feed pump for the volume flow to the steam generator.
  • the separation of the ionic liquid and the working medium during operation of the steam cycle process can be carried out so that the operating fluid is passed through the separator after passing through the steam generator, in which the vaporous working medium is separated.
  • the ionic liquid is enriched due to the approaching zero partial pressure and can be withdrawn into a separate reservoir.
  • a lubricating circuit can be supplied from this reservoir for a further development of the invention, wherein, in addition to the antifreeze effect, the lubricating material properties of the ionic liquid or a mixture enriched with it are advantageously utilized.
  • ionic liquids are characterized by further advantageous properties.
  • ionic liquids are typically nonflammable, they are electrically conductive and thus suppress the build-up of flow potentials.
