Definitions

  • the invention relates to a preheating plant for heating a diesel engine, which has a high-temperature circuit and a low-temperature circuit, with a circulation pump and a preheating unit for circulating and heating a heat exchange fluid, wherein an inlet, in which a feed branch for connection of the high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit is arranged, and a return are provided, in which a return branch for connection of the high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit is arranged.
  • Such a preheating circuit is known from practice. Diesel engines, and in particular large diesel engines, which are used in locomotives or railcars of a rail vehicle can not be started when cold. For this reason, in vehicles with such a diesel engine, a preheating system is provided which is driven electrically or by means of fuel. In order to introduce the required heat into the cold diesel engine, the cooling liquid of the diesel engine is heated, wherein the cooling liquid is circulated through a preheating circuit. The cooling liquid, which in the later diesel operation ensures the cooling of the diesel engine, thus serves as a warming medium in the cold system.
  • the preheating plant has a high and low temperature circuit, wherein a circulating pump and a preheating unit are provided for circulating and heating a heat exchange liquid.
  • a circulating pump and a preheating unit are provided for circulating and heating a heat exchange liquid.
  • an inlet is disclosed, with which the high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit can be connected.
  • the high temperature circuit is mainly used to cool the cylinder heads and cylinder liners.
  • engine oil coolers, exhaust gas recirculation systems and other components can be used via the high temperature circuit be cooled.
  • the low-temperature circuit serves to cool the combustion air, which was previously heated by compression in a turbocharger. The cooling of the combustion air causes the combustion process of the diesel engine, a higher power output.
  • further assemblies can be integrated in the low-temperature circuit. The reason for the formation of two independent cooling circuits in a diesel engine can be seen in the different operating temperatures required for their particular application.
  • both the high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit are each equipped with their own radiator, which allows the release of heat during operation of the diesel engine.
  • both cooling circuits have radiator thermostats connected to a bypass of the respective radiator and to the radiator itself. When cold, each radiator thermostat opens to the bypass, so that when preheating the cooling water is not circulated through the respective radiator. However, when the cooling water reaches an operating temperature previously set on the radiator thermostat, the radiator thermostat opens to the radiator and closes the bypass, so that the circulation then takes place only via the respective radiator. Since the operating temperatures of the high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit are different, the respective radiator thermostats also open the circulation to the radiator at different temperatures.
  • both the high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit are connected to an inlet or a return of a preheating system, so that a preheating circuit is formed in which a heat exchange fluid circulates over the high and low temperature sections of the diesel engine becomes.
  • the preheated heat exchange fluid is thus passed over both cooling circuits.
  • both radiator thermostats are only open towards the bypass, so that the preheated heat exchange fluid is not conducted via the radiator. Since the operating temperatures of the cooling circuits are different, one of the radiator thermostats, namely the radiator thermostat of the low temperature circuit, opens before the operating temperature of the high temperature circuit is reached. As a result, the heat introduced via the cooler of the low-temperature circuit is returned to the outside environment during preheating. The resulting energy loss is undesirable. In addition, the preheating slows down.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a preheating of the type mentioned, with the preheating losses can be avoided as much as possible and accelerates the preheating.
  • the invention solves this problem in that the flow branch and / or return branch is formed by a respective thermostatic valve / each thermostatic valve allows circulation of the heat exchange fluid either in the high-temperature circuit or the low-temperature circuit in response to a switching temperature.
  • a thermostatic valve is arranged in the flow of Vorierrm Ahmedes, which arises after the connection of the flow and the return of the preheater with the high-temperature circuit and the low-temperature circuit of the diesel engine, which represents a switchable branch point.
  • the thermostatic valve can be determined whether the heat exchange fluid for heating the diesel engine is circulated either via the high-temperature circuit or via the low-temperature circuit. In this way, it is possible to direct the circulation process selectively via one of the two circuits or then cancel, for example, when the required operating temperature is reached. In this way, losses can be avoided and the preheating phase can thus be shortened.
  • each thermostatic valve is connected to a temperature sensor which provides a control signal for opening or closing the thermostatic valve.
  • thermostatic valve and temperature sensor are designed as two separate components.
  • the thermostatic valve remotely controllable by the temperature sensor, wherein the temperature sensor at any point in the diesel engine, for example in the low-temperature cooling circuit, can be arranged.
  • the connection between the thermostatic valve and the temperature sensor for example, a mechanical connection, wherein the extension of a temperature-sensitive substance or a temperature-sensitive material in the temperature sensor via a closed media line is transmitted hydraulically or pneumatically to the thermostatic valve.
  • the connection is an electrical signal connection, for example a cable-controlled communication line.
  • a wireless communication connection for example via radio, Bluetooth or the like, between the temperature sensor and thermostatic valve is possible.
  • a very specific linking of the switching operation of the thermostatic valve with the temperature of a suitable component or cooling circuit of the diesel engine is made possible.
  • the switching of the thermostatic valve can be done quickly, so that either a circulation takes place only via the high-temperature circuit or only via the low-temperature circuit. Notwithstanding this, the switching takes place gradually, that is, so slowly that over a period of time that is relevant with regard to a detectable heat exchange, the circulation occurs both via the low-temperature and the high-temperature circuit.
  • the temperature sensor in the low-temperature circuit can be arranged and set up for detecting the temperature of a heat exchange fluid in the low-temperature circuit.
  • the thermostatic valve is set so that initially the low-temperature circuit is heated by the preheating plant according to the invention, wherein the connection of the flow is interrupted with the high-temperature circuit.
  • the thermostatic valve switches over so that the circulation pump of the preheating system circulates the heated heat exchange fluid at least also via the high-temperature circuit.
  • the thermostatic valve works preferably mechanically, namely by thermal expansions of thermostatic cartridges, which can also be located away from the valve.
  • the switching temperature is below an opening temperature of a radiator thermostat of the low-temperature circuit or the high-temperature circuit. If, for example, the connection between the flow and low-temperature circuit is first opened by the thermostatic valve, the diesel engine is heated via the low-temperature circuit. Just before the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the low-temperature circuit reaches the switching temperature of the radiator thermostat of the low-temperature circuit and this would then release the connection to the radiator with heat loss to entourage, the thermostatic valve interrupts the circulation through the low-temperature circuit and opens the connection between flow and high-temperature circuit, so that this is heated until the operating temperature is reached.
  • the flow branch check valves are arranged downstream.
  • the check valves prevent the coolant from being circulated through the components of the preheater after preheating with the diesel engine running.
  • each thermostatic valve connected to the high-temperature circuit high-temperature bypass and connectable to the low-temperature circuit low-temperature bypass is connected in parallel, wherein shut-off valves are arranged in the high-temperature bypass and in the low-temperature bypass.
