Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning coked cavities, in particular intake passages and valves of an internal combustion engine.
  • impurities In internal combustion engines, such as gasoline and diesel engines impurities often occur in the intake ports and on the intake valves, which are caused in particular by low-quality fuels and / or unfavorable operation of the engines.
  • the impurities are mainly hard and soft as well as greasy carbon deposits, which interfere with engine growth more and more with increasing growth, because when opening the intake valves the required inlet cross sections are not reached anymore.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and apparatus for cleaning coked cavities, in particular of intake ports of an internal combustion engine, which allows easy handling and effective removal of impurities and deposits even in hard to reach places.
  • the method for cleaning cavities comprises the following steps: introducing an alkaline liquid into a cavity to be cleaned, heating the alkaline liquid, and Aspirating the alkaline liquid with the contaminants contained therein from the cavity, wherein the alkaline liquid in particular has a pH of 7 to 14.
  • a liquor in solid form and a solvent are mixed together and introduced into the cavity to be cleaned, so that the alkaline liquid is formed in the cavity to be cleaned by dissolving the liquor in the solvent with evolution of heat.
  • the cleaning effect of the alkaline liquid is significantly increased by the exothermic reaction, since the resulting heat can be used almost completely for heating the alkaline liquid and the impurities to be removed.
  • the dissolved dirt particles are extracted by means of a pump.
  • the alkaline liquid is heated prior to introduction, and the heated alkaline liquid is injected into the cavity, wherein the alkaline liquid is sucked with the dirt constituents contained therein from the cavity, while still alkaline liquid in the cavity is injected so that the cavity is continuously rinsed with alkaline liquid.
  • the alkaline liquid with the dirt constituents contained therein is sucked out of the cavity and then filtered to remove the dirt constituents contained therein, and the filtered alkaline liquid is subsequently heated and injected back into the cavity , As a result, the consumption of cleaning fluid can be kept low without compromising the effectiveness of the cleaning process.
  • the alkaline liquid is injected under pressure against the walls and the bottom of the cavity.
  • the device for cleaning cavities comprises a first probe which at its front end is provided with one or more nozzles for injecting a heated alkaline liquid into a cavity to be cleaned and which is connected at its other end to the pressure side of a pump, the suction side of heated alkaline liquid can be supplied, and a second probe for sucking the alkaline liquid with the dirt constituents contained therein from the cavity.
  • the alkaline liquid can be effectively bring even in hard to reach areas of cavities, where they can then fully develop their cleaning effect.
  • the second probe is connected to the suction side of the pump via a filter for removing contaminants from the alkaline liquid.
  • the two probes thus form with the pump and the filter an open system, which is closed over the cavity to be cleaned to a circuit for the alkaline liquid.
  • the outlet side of the filter is connected to the suction side of the pump via a connecting line to which a heater for heating a liquid flowing through is arranged.
  • a heating of the alkaline liquid in the pressure side is possible.
  • the first probe is a closed at its front end thin tube, in the peripheral wall a plurality of radially directed nozzles are provided.
  • the nozzles can be arranged on a line parallel to the axis of the tube.
  • the first probe have at least two nozzles for injecting the alkaline liquid into the cavity to be cleaned, which inject the alkaline liquid in different directions.
  • the nozzles can be arranged on one or more helix (s) or on one or more circumferential circle (s).
  • At least one nozzle is provided in the region of the closed front end through which the alkaline liquid can be sprayed essentially in the axial direction of the tube of the probe.
  • FIG. 1 is an example of a cavity to be cleaned, namely an intake passage 10 in a cylinder head 11 of an internal combustion engine, such as a diesel engine 12, which is mounted in a conventional manner on a corresponding cylinder block 13.
  • a in an unspecified cylinder opening in the cylinder block 13 outlet opening 14 of the intake passage 10 is conventionally closed by an intake valve 15 which is guided by a corresponding valve guide 16 in the cylinder head 11 to release and close the opening 14 of the intake passage in accordance with engine control.
  • the intake ports 10 and the intake valves 15 of diesel engines coke very much. Particularly affected are so-called swirl channels (not shown in detail), which are used in modern diesel engines with four valves per cylinder to impart a twist to the cylinder to be supplied gas mixture, which should lead to improved mixing of air and injected fuel.
  • the deposits in the inlet channels 10 and the inlet valves 15 are in particular soft, greasy carbon deposits.
  • the cleaning of the inlet channels 10 and the inlet valves 15 is carried out by exposing the inlet-side openings 17 of the inlet channels 10 in the cylinder head 11 in the inlet channel 10, an alkaline liquid is either previously heated or in the Essentially heated after insertion.
  • an alkaline liquid is either previously heated or in the Essentially heated after insertion.
  • the heat of solution is utilized when dissolving a lye in a corresponding solvent.
  • the liquor for example potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide

  • particularly good cleaning results are achieved when hydrogen peroxide is used as the solvent.
  • the mixing ratio of lye (in solid form) and solvent is chosen so that the resulting alkaline liquid has a pH of 7 to 14, in particular more than 12.
  • the described embodiment can be slightly modified by the fact that the mixing of liquor in solid form and solvent not only takes place in the inlet channel 10, but before, with the filling of the liquor / solvent mixture in the inlet channel 10 immediately follows the blending, so that the dissolution of the liquor in the solvent takes place only when the mixture of liquor and solvent is already in the inlet duct 10.

  • the nozzles 23 may also be mounted on one or more helix (s) (SL in FIG FIG. 3 (d) ) or on one or more circumference circle (s) ( FIG. 3 (c) ) can be arranged.
  • the individual nozzles 23 may be circumferentially distributed uniformly or unevenly.
  • the second probe 22 is removed from the reservoir 30 and also inserted into the inlet channel 10, in order to remove the alkaline liquid contained therein together with the dirt components contained therein, ie mechanically and / or chemically detached dirt constituents from it.
  • the cleaning liquid is then cleaned in the filter 27 and fed through the connecting line 28 is heated by the heater 29 back to the desired temperature and then sprayed or sprayed by the pump 25 again under pressure into the inlet channel 10, wherein the individual liquid jets impinge on the walls of the inlet channel 10 itself and the surface of the inlet valve 15.
  • the inlet valves 15 of the inlet channels 10 to be cleaned are reliably closed.
  • the inlet channel 10 filled with a corresponding amount of alkaline cleaning liquid and the second probe 22 is converted from the reservoir 30 into the inlet channel 10

  • the continuous supply of the alkaline cleaning liquid under pressure by means of the first probe 21 provides, as mentioned above, the additional mechanical washing action.
  • the cleaning can be completed by rinsing with water or alcohol and then drying with compressed air.
  • the invention thus provides a simple and reliable cleaning method for cleaning cavities, particularly coked cavities, such as the intake ports of an internal combustion engine, such as a diesel engine, with which its life can be significantly extended in a timely manner in a cost effective manner.
  • inventive device for cleaning cavities in particular of intake ports 10 of an internal combustion engine, such as a diesel engine 12 includes, as the above with reference to FIG. 2 explained device, a first probe 21 and a second probe 22.
  • the first probe 21 which has one or more nozzles 23 as described above at its front end, with its other end via a heater 29 to the pressure side 24 of a first pump 25 connected, the suction side 26 is connected via a corresponding intake 31 with a reservoir 30 in conjunction.
  • the second probe 22, so the suction probe is connected via a filter 27 to the suction side 36 of a second pump 35, the pressure side 34 is connected via a return line 32 to the reservoir 30 in combination.
  • the cleaning device shown has two pumps, namely the first pump 25 serving as a pressure pump for injecting the alkaline fluid into the cavity to be cleaned, and the second pump 35 serving as a suction pump for aspirating alkaline fluid and contaminants from the cavity Drain or the pressure side 34 of the second pump 35 delivers the extracted and filtered from the cavity liquid via the return line 32 back into the reservoir 30, from which then via the suction line 31 alkaline liquid of the inlet or suction side 26 of the first pump is supplied.
  • the liquid circuit is thus open in the region of the cavity to be cleaned and in the region of the reservoir 30.
  • an adapter plate 40 trained cover provided, which can be screwed in a manner not shown, for example by means of screws on the cylinder head 11.
  • the adapter plate 40 has two openings 41, through which the two probes 21, 22 can be passed substantially tight.
  • the through holes 41 may be provided with either the alkaline liquid resistant seals made of artificial or natural rubber or the like.
  • an overflow 42 is expediently provided, the outlet side of which can be connected to a collecting vessel (not shown).
  • the adapter plate 40 which in FIG. 6 is only shown to cover the opening of a single inlet channel 10, but can also be designed so that all lying in a line or in a plane valve inlet ducts are covered so that can be significantly reduced when cleaning the inlet ducts in the workshop of assembly work.
  • the liquid circuit Before actually cleaning an intake passage 10 and an intake valve 15 of an internal combustion engine with the aid of FIG. 4 1, the liquid circuit is initially short-circuited in that the first probe 21, that is to say the probe for injecting liquid into the cavity, is introduced into the storage container 30 instead of the return line 32. Now sucked from the reservoir 30 alkaline liquid through the heater 29, which is arranged downstream of the first pump 25, heated and conveyed back into the reservoir 30. This process can be repeated until the alkaline cleaning liquid in the reservoir 30 has reached a desired temperature.
  • the cycle is closed by means of the second probe 22 serving as a suction probe, the filter 27, the pump 35 and the return line 32.
  • the second probe 22 which extends through the corresponding opening 41 of the adapter plate 40, immersed in the cavity to be cleaned, while the return line 32 is guided into the reservoir 30.
  • the first pump 25 is turned on, so that alkaline cleaning liquid is injected into the inlet channel 11.
  • the second pump 35 is turned on to suck off liquid and dirt.
  • the delivery rate of the two pumps should be substantially the same in order to maintain a constant liquid level in the inlet channel 10 during cleaning.
  • the cleaning of the inlet channel 10 and the inlet valve 15 is carried out in the same manner as described above, only with the difference that the filtered through the filter 27 cleaning liquid is returned to the reservoir 30, before being returned from the pressure pump 25 via the heater 29 in the inlet channel is injected.
  • the use of two pumps, that is, a suction pump and a pressure pump for supplying cleaning fluid to the cavity to be cleaned has the advantage that the injection and suction of alkaline cleaning fluid can be controlled independently. Furthermore, not only the cleaning efficiency can be increased in this way, since the cleaning fluid is not consumed so quickly, but it can also improve the reliability in the workshop significantly although an open fluid circuit is used, since both the probes can be inserted tightly into the cavity to be cleaned by means of the adapter plate 40, and the suction and return lines are tightly inserted into the reservoir.
