- the steam located in the working chamber to the left of the rotary piston 32 is simultaneously conducted via the outlet opening 403 to the condenser 13 and cooled there. As a result, a negative pressure in the working chamber is generated to the right of the rotary piston 32. Due to the higher ambient pressure of the pumped medium 20, the rotary piston 32 is also rotated clockwise.

This is achieved within the arrangement of two rotary piston machines 101 and 102, a continuous overall process of direct conversion of the energy of the steam in useful work of the pumped medium and a machine dynamic complete mass balance.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show a further embodiment in which is dispensed with the machine dynamic mass balance.
- an external mass balance must be available.

Description
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Dampfkraftsystem zur direkten thermohydraulischen oder thermopneumatischen Umwandlung von Dampfenergie in Druck-Energie auf ein Fördermedium.The invention relates to a steam power system for direct thermal-hydraulic or thermo-pneumatic conversion of steam energy in pressure energy to a pumped medium.
Der übliche Weg zur Umwandlung von Dampfenergie in eine andere Energieform besteht in der Verwendung von Kolbendampfmaschinen oder Dampfturbinen, in denen im Clausius-Rankine-Prozess durch eine Dampfentspannung die Umwandlung in mechanische Energie stattfindet. Die hierzu zur Verfügung stehenden Technologien und Mechanismen weisen einen hohen technischen Reifegrad auf. Je nach Anwendungsfall der durchzuführenden Umwandlung ist jedoch der notwendige bauliche und betriebstechnische Aufwand beträchtlich. Vor der Entwicklung der Dampfmaschinen- und Dampfturbinentechnik führte die beginnende Industrialisierung bereits zu Umwandlungstechnologien, die ohne die genannte Maschinentechnik auskamen. In englischen Bergwerken erfolgte bereits teilweise die Entwässerung mit Hilfe der Dampfkraft. Diese Technik ist bekannt unter der Bezeichnung kolbenlose Dampfpumpe. Sie wurde 1698 von Denis Papin entwickelt und 1699 von Thomas Savery zu weiterer Reife geführt.The usual way to convert steam energy into another form of energy is to use piston steam engines or steam turbines in which the conversion to mechanical energy takes place in the Rankine process by steam expansion. The available technologies and mechanisms have a high degree of technical maturity. Depending on the application of the conversion to be carried out, however, the necessary structural and operational expenses are considerable. Before the development of steam engine and steam turbine technology, the beginning of industrialization already led to conversion technologies that could do without the aforementioned machine technology. In English mines already partially the drainage with the help of steam power. This technique is known as piston-less vapor pump. It was developed in 1698 by Denis Papin and led in 1699 by Thomas Savery to further maturity.
Auch mit dem Siegeszug der Dampfmaschinen- und Dampfturbinentechnik blieben in einigen Anwendungsgebieten Aufgaben der Dampfpumpentechnik erhalten. In der chemischen Industrie erfolgt auch heute aus Gründen der Explosionssicherheit der Einsatz sogenannter Duplexpumpen dann, wenn explosible Flüssigkeiten wie beispielsweise Benzin zu fördern sind.Even with the triumphal procession of steam engine and steam turbine technology tasks of the vapor pump technology remained in some applications. In the chemical industry today, for reasons of explosion safety, the use of so-called duplex pumps takes place when explosive liquids such as gasoline are to be promoted.

Für die vorliegende Erfindung wird sich die Aufgabe gestellt, ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung aufzuzeigen, bei der die Druckenergie von Dampf mittels Rotationskolbenmaschinen (RKM), zu einer direkten Übertragung des Dampfdrucks auf ein Arbeitsmedium wie beispielsweise Wasser oder Druckluft eingesetzt wird, ohne dass wie in sonst üblicher Weise die Druckkräfte des Dampfes über ein mechanisches Triebwerk, also indirekt, auf eine Pumpe oder einen Verdichter geführt werden.The object of the present invention is to provide a method and an arrangement in which the pressure energy of steam by means of rotary piston machines (RKM), for a direct transfer of the vapor pressure to a working medium such as water or compressed air, without, as in otherwise usually the pressure forces of the steam via a mechanical engine, so indirectly, are performed on a pump or a compressor.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung geht von der Grundeigenschaft einer Vielzahl von Rotationskolbenmaschinen aus, dass der Kolben in Bezug auf eine zentrale Drehachse keine rückkehrende Bewegung ausführt. Beispielsweise trifft dies auf die Gruppe der Kreiskolbenmaschinen zu, zu der auch die bekannte Wankel-Maschine gehört. Diese Eigenschaft haben auch Flügelzellenmaschinen, bei denen die Flügelzellen des Rotors einen festen Winkelabstand besitzen.The solution according to the invention is based on the basic property of a large number of rotary piston machines in that the piston does not execute a return movement with respect to a central axis of rotation. For example, this applies to the group of rotary engines, which includes the well-known Wankel machine. This property also has vane machines in which the vane of the rotor have a fixed angular distance.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur direkten Umwandlung von Dampfenergie in Druck-Energie auf ein Fördermedium ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass in einem geschlossenen Kreislauf aus einem Arbeitsmedium Dampf erzeugt wird, welcher alternierend in mindestens zwei miteinander verbundene Rotationskolbenmaschinen geleitet wird, wodurch die Druck-Energie auf das Fördermedium auf der Kolbengegenseite des durch einen Rotationskolben abgegrenzten Arbeitsraum übertragen wird und zur weiteren Verwendung bereit gestellt wird, und dass das entspannte Arbeitsmedium in den Kreislauf zurückgeführt wird.The method according to the invention for the direct conversion of steam energy into pressure energy to a pumped medium is characterized in that steam is generated in a closed circuit from a working medium, which is passed alternately into at least two interconnected rotary piston machines, whereby the pressure energy to the pumped medium is transmitted to the piston opposite side of the demarcated by a rotary piston working space and provided for further use and that the relaxed working fluid is recycled.
Das Verfahren läuft nach folgenden Schritten ab. Der durch den Rotationskolben abgegrenzte Arbeitsraum der ersten Rotationskolbenmaschine wird in einer ersten Prozessphase mit dem dampfförmigen Arbeitsmedium gefüllt, wodurch die Druck-Energie auf das Fördermedium auf der Kolbengegenseite übertragen wird, und in einem Druckspeicher gespeichert wird. Zeitgleich wird in der zweiten Rotationskolbenmaschine ein Unterdruck erzeugt, so dass dort frisches Fördermedium angesaugt wird, und gleichzeitig das entspannte Arbeitsmedium in den Kreislauf zurück geführt wird. Über eine Ventilsteuerung werden in einer nächsten Prozessphase die Funktionen einzelner Ventile im Block in Gegenrichtung umgeschaltet, so dass die erste und die zweite Rotationskolbenmaschine ihre Funktionen tauschen.The procedure proceeds according to the following steps. The demarcated by the rotary piston working chamber of the first rotary piston machine is filled in a first process phase with the vaporous working fluid, whereby the pressure energy is transmitted to the fluid on the piston opposite side, and stored in a pressure accumulator. At the same time a negative pressure is generated in the second rotary piston machine, so that there fresh feed medium is sucked in, and at the same time the relaxed working medium is returned to the circulation. Via a valve control, the functions of individual valves in the block are reversed in the opposite direction in a next process phase, so that the first and the second rotary piston machine exchange their functions.
Beide Rotationskolbenmaschinen sind über eine gemeinsame Steuerwelle oder kinematisch gleichwertige Elemente verbunden, um einen synchronen Bewegungsablauf zu erreichen.Both rotary piston machines are connected via a common control shaft or kinematically equivalent elements in order to achieve a synchronous movement sequence.
In einer ersten Ausführungsform arbeiten beide Rotationskolbenmaschinen um vorzugsweise 90 Grad versetzt im Drehumlauf. Jeweils vier im Prozess angeordnete Ventile arbeiten zusammen in der Art, dass diese Ventile abwechselnd im Block geöffnet und geschlossen werden.In a first embodiment, both rotary piston engines work offset by preferably 90 degrees in the rotary circulation. Four valves arranged in the process work together in such a way that these valves are alternately opened and closed in the block.
In einer zweiten Ausführungsform arbeiten beide Rotationskolbenmaschinen ohne Winkelversatz oder einen Winkelversatz von 180 Grad im Drehumlauf. Die im Prozess angeordnete Ventile werden gleichzeitig im Block geschaltet, wenn die Rotationskolben der Rotationskolbenmaschinen ein Drehung von jeweils etwa 180 Grad erreicht haben, Jeweils zwei Ventile arbeiten paarweise zusammen. Die paarweise zusammenwirkenden Ventile sind als Doppelventile mit zusammengefassten Funktionen ausgeführt.In a second embodiment, both rotary piston machines operate without angular offset or an angular offset of 180 degrees in the rotary orbit. The valves arranged in the process are simultaneously switched in the block when the rotary pistons of the rotary piston machines have reached a rotation of approximately 180 degrees, respectively. Two valves work together in pairs. The pairwise cooperating valves are designed as double valves with combined functions.
Als Arbeitsmedium wird ein 2-Phasen-Fluid, beispielsweise Wasser verwendet. Als Fördermedium wird ein 1-Phasen-Fluid, wie Wasser oder Paraffinöl, oder es wird Luft verwendet.As a working medium, a 2-phase fluid, for example water is used. The medium used is a 1-phase fluid, such as water or paraffin oil, or air is used.
Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung ist gekennzeichnet dadurch, dass in einem geschlossenen Kreislauf ein Dampferzeuger, welcher mit einem Arbeitsfluid aus einem Sammelbehälter gespeist wird, mit mindestens zwei Rotationskolbenmaschinen verbunden ist, so dass diese alternierend mit einem Dampf des Arbeitsfluides beaufschlagt werden, wodurch ein Fördermedium, welches abwechselnd in den Rotationskolbenmaschinen bereit steht, mit einem Druck beaufschlagt wird und dadurch zur weiteren Verwendung verfügbar ist, und dass die Rotationskolbenmaschinen ihrerseits mit einem Kondensator in Verbindung stehen, welcher seinerseits mit dem Sammelbehälter verbunden ist. Die Rotationskolbenmaschinen sind über eine gemeinsame Steuerwelle oder kinematisch gleichwertige Elemente verbunden. Der Dampferzeuger ist über eine Speiseleitung mit Einlassöffnungen der Rotationskolbenmaschinen verbunden. Ein Druckspeicher ist einerseits über eine Druckleitung mit dem Sammelbehälter und andererseits über eine Medienleitung mit Auslassöffnungen verbunden. Der Kondensator ist über eine Medienleitung mit den Auslassöffnungen verbunden und das Fördermedium wird über eine Medienleitung zu den Einlassöffnungen geführt.The arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that in a closed circuit a steam generator, which is supplied with a working fluid from a collecting tank, is connected to at least two rotary piston machines, so that they are alternately charged with a vapor of the working fluid, whereby a pumped medium, which alternately is in the rotary piston machines ready, is pressurized and thereby available for further use, and that the rotary piston machines in turn are in communication with a condenser, which in turn is connected to the collecting container. The rotary piston machines are connected via a common control shaft or kinematically equivalent elements. The steam generator is connected via a feed line with inlet openings of the rotary piston machines. An accumulator is connected on the one hand via a pressure line to the collecting container and on the other hand via a media line with outlet openings. The condenser is connected via a media line with the outlet openings and the medium is conveyed via a media line to the inlet openings.
Die Rotationskolbenmaschinen sind jeweils in zwei Arbeitsbereiche mit kinematisch gleicher Funktion durch Rotationskolben unterteilt.The rotary piston machines are each divided into two working areas with kinematically identical function by rotary piston.
Bei diesen Maschinen hat ein rotierender Kolben eine vom Dampfdruck beaufschlagte Seite, während die Gegenseite dazu eingesetzt werden kann, ein anders Medium, ein sogenanntes Fördermedium (beispielsweise angesaugte Luft oder ein Fluid), zu verschieben. Hierbei ist die Drehachse des Rotors lediglich ein Element der Bewegungssteuerung des Rotors, sie dient nicht der Leistungsabnahme.In these machines, a rotary piston has a side acted upon by the vapor pressure, while the opposite side can be used to move a different medium, a so-called conveying medium (for example sucked air or a fluid). Here, the axis of rotation of the rotor is merely an element of the motion control of the rotor, it is not the power decrease.
Bedingt durch die Rotationsbewegung des Kolbens wird nach einem bestimmten Drehwinkel, in einem Bereich von etwa 180 Winkelgrad, die bisher vom Dampfdruck beaufschlagte Kolbenseite zu einer Kolbenseite, die ein Ausgangsmedium zu verschieben hat.Due to the rotational movement of the piston is after a certain angle of rotation, in a range of about 180 degrees, the previously acted upon by the vapor pressure piston side to a piston side, which has an output medium to move.
Zur erfindungsgemäßen Lösung gehört, dass, ausgehend von den zwei Zustandsphasen des Arbeitsmediums, flüssig und dampfförmig, nach Abschluss der Expansion des Dampfes auf der Dampfseite des Kolbens eine Phase erfolgt, bei der der Dampf kondensiert.The solution according to the invention includes, starting from the two phases of the working fluid, liquid and vapor phase, after completion of the expansion of the vapor on the vapor side of the flask, a phase in which the vapor condenses.
Der entspannte Dampf wird mittels einer Kondensationspumpe durch einen Kondensator gesaugt und auf bzw. unter Kondensationstemperatur abgekühlt, so dass ein Unterdruck auf der ehemals Dampf,- jetzt Kondensatseite des Kolbens entsteht.The expanded steam is sucked by means of a condensation pump through a condenser and cooled to or below the condensation temperature, so that a negative pressure on the formerly steam, now condensate side of the piston is formed.
In einem Ausführungsbeispiel sind beide Rotationskolbenmaschinen um vorzugsweise 90 Grad versetzt im Drehumlauf angeordnet. In den Medien- und Druckleitungen sind Ventile angeordnet, wobei jeweils vier Ventile abwechselnd im Block geöffnet und geschlossen werden.In one embodiment, both rotary piston machines are arranged offset by preferably 90 degrees in the rotary circulation. In the media and pressure lines valves are arranged, with four valves are alternately opened and closed in the block.
In einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel sind beide Rotationskolbenmaschinen ohne Winkelversatz oder einen Winkelversatz von 180 Grad im Drehumlauf angeordnet. In den Medien- und Druckleitungen sind Ventile angeordnet, die paarweise zusammenwirken und nach jeweils ca. 180 Winkelgrad der Kolbenbewegung von der Stellung "geöffnet" in die Stellung "geschlossen" bzw. umgekehrt als Ventilgruppe "im Block" umgeschaltet werden. Die paarweise zusammenwirkenden Ventile sind für eine weitere Ausführungsform als Doppelventile ausgeführt.In a second embodiment, both rotary piston machines are arranged without angular offset or an angular offset of 180 degrees in the rotary circulation. In the media and pressure lines valves are arranged, which interact in pairs and are switched after each 180 degrees of piston movement from the "open" to the "closed" or vice versa as a valve group "in the block". The pairwise cooperating valves are designed for a further embodiment as double valves.
Die Umschaltung der Ventile bewirkt, dass während der Kondensation nicht erneut Dampf auf die ehemals dampfbeaufschlagte Kolbenseite strömt, sondern das vorgesehene Fördermedium.The switching of the valves causes that during the condensation not steam again flows to the former steam-loaded piston side, but the intended delivery medium.
Beide Rotationskolbenmaschinen sind über eine gemeinsame Steuerwelle so verbunden, dass die Bewegung der Kolben stets synchrone Bewegungen durchlaufen. Eine Leistungsübertragung zwischen beiden Rotationskolbenmaschinen findet dabei nicht statt. In der idealen Rotationskolbenmaschine erfolgt die Steuerung des Synchronlaufs der Kolben frei von Kräften.Both rotary piston machines are connected via a common control shaft so that the movement of the pistons always synchronous Go through movements. A power transmission between the two rotary piston engines does not take place. In the ideal rotary piston machine, the control of the synchronous operation of the pistons is free of forces.
Ergänzend zu den erfindungsgemäßen Merkmalen gehört, dass das Verfahren und die Anordnung der Elemente keine prinzipielle Leistungsbegrenzung aufweisen.In addition to the features according to the invention, it is necessary that the method and the arrangement of the elements have no power limitation in principle.

Die Grundanordnung der Elemente für eine Anordnung von Rotationskolbenmaschinen mit um ca. 90 Grad versetzten Kolben wird anhand von
Die Rotationskolbenmaschine 101 ist mit der Rotationskolbenmaschine 102 über eine Steuerwelle 5 kinematisch verbunden. Durch die Steuerwelle 5 wird für beide Rotationskolbenmaschinen ein synchroner Bewegungsablauf erreicht.The
Eine nähere Beschreibung der Funktionsweise der Rotationskolbenmaschinen soll hier nicht erfolgen. Die verwendete Rotationskolbenmaschine entspricht im Aufbau prinzipiell der bekannten Wankel-Maschine. Der hauptsächliche Unterschied besteht darin, dass ein Zweieck-Kolben in einer Laufbahn mit der Kontur einer einbogigen Trochoide arbeitet. Die Rotationskolbenmaschine selbst ist nicht Gegenstand der Erfindung.A closer description of the operation of the rotary piston machines should not be done here. The rotary piston machine used in the construction corresponds in principle to the known Wankel machine. The main difference is that a delta-piston works in a raceway with the contour of a single-arched trochoid. The rotary piston machine itself is not the subject of the invention.
Dem Dampferzeuger 1 wird ein Arbeitsmedium 19 über eine Kesselspeisepumpe 17_und eine Druckleitung 18 aus dem Sammelbehälter 16 zugeleitet. Das Arbeitsmedium 19 ist beispielsweise ein 2-Phasen-Arbeitsfluid, insbesondere Wasser wie beispielsweise Kondensat und/oder Kesselwasser.The steam generator 1, a working
In der ersten Prozessphase, wie in
Die Rotationskolbenmaschine 102 ist über die Einlassöffnung 404, den Knotenpunkt 202, dem Ventil 704 und die Medienleitung 9 mit dem Fördermedium, beispielsweise der freien Atmosphäre, verbunden. Weiter ist die Rotationskolbenmaschine 102 über die Auslassöffnung 403, den Knotenpunkt 204, das Ventil 708 und die Kondensatleitung 11 mit dem Kondensator 13 verbunden. Der Kondensator 13 ist mit einer Kondensatpumpe 14 über die Kondensatleitung 15 mit dem Sammelbehälter 16 verbunden.The
Um die einzelnen Prozessphasen besser darstellen zu können, sind Markierungen 301, 302, 303 und 304 auf den Rotationskolben 31 und 32 angebracht. Für den Rotationskolben 31 ist die Markierung 301 hell und die Markierung 302 dunkel eingezeichnet, auf dem Rotationskolben 32 ist die Markierung 303 hell und die Markierung 304 dunkel eingezeichnet. Diese Markierungen dienen lediglich der Veranschaulichung.In order to better represent the individual process phases,
Das erste Ausführungsbeispiel stellt in
Der in der Arbeitskammer links vom Rotationskolben 32 befindliche Dampf wird gleichzeitig über die Auslassöffnung 403 zum Kondensator 13 geleitet und dort gekühlt. Dadurch wird ein Unterdruck in der Arbeitskammer rechts vom Rotationskolben 32 erzeugt. Durch den höheren Umgebungsdruck des Fördermediums 20 wird der Rotationskolben 32 ebenfalls im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht.The steam located in the working chamber to the left of the
Nach einer Kolbendrehung von ca. 90 Winkelgrad wird die zweite Phase (
Durch einen externen Steuerimpuls oder durch eine interne kinematische Kopplung beispielsweise der Steuerwelle 5 mit allen Ventilen werden die Ventile 702 und 704 und die Ventile 706 und 708 im Block geöffnet bzw. geschlossen. Der Dampfdruck des Dampferzeugers 1 gelangt nun über die Medienleitung 8 und Ventil 702 zur Einlassöffnung 404 der Rotationskolbenmaschine 102 und gleichzeitig über die Medienleitung 8 und Ventil 701 zur Einlassöffnung 402 der Rotationskolbenmaschine 101. Beide Rotationskolben 31 und 32 werden weiter im Urzeigersinn gedreht und drücken auf ihrer Rückseite das vorher angesaugte Fördermedium 20 über die Auslassöffnung 401 und 403, die Medienleitung 10 und die Ventile 705 und 706 in den Druckspeicher 12.By an external control pulse or by an internal kinematic coupling, for example, the
In dieser zweiten Prozessphase wird weder neues Fördermedium angesaugt noch Dampf zum Kondensator 13 geleitet.In this second process phase, neither new pumped medium is sucked in nor steam is conducted to the
Die dritte Prozessphase (
Der Druck der Umgebungsluft drückt über die Medienleitung 9 und die Einlassöffnung 402 den Rotationskolben 31 der Rotationskolbenmaschinen 101 im Uhrzeigersinn gegen den Kondensatunterdruck.The pressure of the ambient air presses the
Durch erneutes Vertauschen der Ventilfunktionen in beschriebener Weise beginnt die vierte Prozessphase (
Nach der vierten Prozessphase beginnt durch Umschaltung der Ventile 701, 702, 705 und 707 eine neue erste Prozessphase.After the fourth process phase, a new first process phase begins by switching over the
Ein wesentliches Merkmal dieses Ausführungsbeispiels ist die Umsteuerung der verschiedenen Ventilgruppen, die zeitversetzt nach jeweils 90 Winkelgrad im Block von vier Ventilen erfolgt. Der Vorteil dieses Ablaufs beruht auf den um 90 Winkelgrad versetzten Rotationskolben 31 und 32. Hierdurch wird innerhalb der Anordnung von zwei Rotationskolbenmaschinen 101 und 102 ein kontinuierlicher Gesamtprozess der direkten Umwandlung der Energie des Dampfes in Nutzarbeit des Fördermediums und ein maschinendynamisch vollständiger Massenausgleich erreicht.An essential feature of this embodiment is the reversal of the various valve groups, which is delayed in time after every 90 degrees in the block of four valves. The advantage of this process is based on the offset by 90 degrees

In
Nach einer Drehung der Rotationskolben 31, 32 von ca. 180 Grad erfolgt eine Umschaltung aller Ventile 701. 702, 703, 704, 705, 706, 707 und 708 im Block an den Einlass- und Auslassöffnungen von der Stellung "geöffnet" in die Stellung "geschlossen" bzw. umgekehrt und der Übergang zur nächsten Prozessphase mit der Vertauschung der Prozessabläufe zwischen den Rotationskolbenmaschinen 101 und 102. Jetzt erfolgt in der Rotationskolbenmaschine 102 die Dampf- Expansion und das Ausschieben des Fördermediums 20 und in der Rotationskolbenmaschine 101 das Ansaugen einer neuen Füllung Fördermedium 20. Die Drehung der Kolben ist durch die Markierungen 301, 302, 303 und 304 veranschaulicht.After a rotation of the
