Description
- The invention relates to a reciprocating engine, which comprises an engine block having cylinders and an inlet channel for conducting inlet air into the cylinders. The invention also relates to an engine block of a reciprocating engine.
- It is known that inlet air pressure pulsation takes place in inlet channels of reciprocating engines. For example in turbocharged reciprocating engines inlet air pressure pulsation may move the operating point of the turbocharger repeatedly to the surging area, which impedes the operation of the turbocharger and thus adversely affects the operation of the engine. Moreover, the pulsation of pressure in the inlet channel has an adverse effect on the filling of the cylinders. That is because the pressure level in the vicinity of each inlet valve fluctuates, and the amount of air remaining in the cylinder is ruled by the local pressure level when the inlet valve closes. The local pressure level may vary considerably, specifically in turbocharged engines.
- Patent publication
AT 413740 B - An object of the present invention is to reduce the pressure pulsation in an inlet channel of a reciprocating engine.
- This object can be achieved as set out in
claim 1. A reciprocating engine according to the invention comprises an engine block having cylinders and an inlet channel for conducting inlet air into the cylinders. The inlet channel is provided with a main inlet air receiver and an auxiliary inlet air receiver. The auxiliary inlet air receiver is arranged downstream of the main inlet air receiver and upstream from the cylinders. The auxiliary inlet air receiver is in fluid communication with the main inlet air receiver through at least one connecting channel, which passes between two consecutive cylinders. The at least one connecting channel comprises a portion that is in the engine block, and said portion passes between two adjacent cylinders - In an engine block according to the invention, a main inlet air receiver for inlet air is arranged in the engine block, and connecting channels for discharging inlet air from the main inlet air receiver are connected to the main inlet air receiver, which connecting channels are arranged in the engine block between consecutive cylinders.
- The auxiliary inlet air receiver dampens pressure pulsation in the inlet channel. Consequently, the filling of the cylinders can be improved and the turbocharger surging reduced if the engine is turbocharged.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the cylinders are arranged in two banks and the inlet air channel is provided with two auxiliary inlet air receivers, which are arranged downstream of the main inlet air receiver and upstream of the cylinders. Each of the cylinder banks is provided with a separate auxiliary inlet air receiver. In this embodiment inlet air pressure pulsation can be effectively reduced in an engine, where the cylinders are arranged in a V-shaped configuration.
- According to another embodiment of the invention, in V-shaped cylinder configuration the main inlet air receiver is arranged between the cylinder banks. The auxiliary inlet air receivers can be placed on the opposite sides of the cylinder banks relative to the main inlet air receiver and the exhaust channel(s) between the cylinder banks. This embodiment provides a compact arrangement, which does not require extra space in the cross direction of the engine. Further, it is safer to place the hot exhaust channel(s) between the cylinder banks.
- In the following the invention will be described by way of an example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
-
Figure 1 shows schematically an embodiment of a reciprocating engine according to the invention. -
Figure 2 shows an engine block, inlet air receivers and exhaust channels of the reciprocating engine offig. 1 , as viewed from the end of the engine block. -
Figure 1 discloses a multi-cylinder reciprocatingengine 1. Theengine 1 can be a large reciprocating engine, either a two-stroke or a four-stroke engine. Large reciprocating engine refers here to such engines that can be used for instance as main and auxiliary engines in ships or in power plants for production of heat and/or electricity. Theengine 1 comprises anengine block 2 having cylinders 3 arranged in twobanks 4 in a V-configuration. Typically, theengine 1 comprises 6-24 cylinders 3. - The
reciprocating engine 1 comprises aninlet channel 5 for conducting inlet air into the cylinders 3. Theengine 1 can be turbocharged 8 in one or more stages. In the embodiment offig. 1 the engine is turbocharged in one stage and provided with one turbocharger 8 but, if necessary, eachcylinder bank 4 may be provided with a separate turbocharger 8. Theinlet channel 5 is provided with a maininlet air receiver 6 and two auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7. The main and auxiliary inlet air receivers are tanks that are designed for compressed air systems and used both to store the compressed air and to permit pressure to be equalized in theinlet channel 5. The maininlet air receiver 6 is arranged downstream of the turbocharger 8. The auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7 are arranged downstream of the maininlet air receiver 6 and upstream of the cylinders 3. Each of thecylinder banks 4 is provided with a separate auxiliaryinlet air receiver 7. The volume of the maininlet air receiver 6 is larger than the volumes of the auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7. Both the maininlet air receiver 6 and the auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7 are elongated and parallel to thecylinder banks 4. The inner diameter of the auxiliaryinlet air receiver 7 is 0.45-0.65 times the inner diameter of the cylinder 3. - The main
inlet air receiver 6 is located between thecylinder banks 4. The maininlet air receiver 6 is arranged in theengine block 2. The maininlet air receiver 6 can be integral with theengine block 2. The maininlet air receiver 6 can thus be inside a casting that forms theengine block 2, or theengine block 2 can form some of the walls of the maininlet air receiver 6. The auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7 are placed on the opposite sides of thecylinder banks 4 relative to the main inlet air receiver 6 (i.e. outside the V formed by the cylinder banks 4). Theauxiliary inlet receivers 7 and themain inlet receiver 6 are thus on the opposite sides of the middle axis of the cylinders 3. The auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7 can be mounted on theengine block 2. The auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7 are in flow communication with the maininlet air receiver 6 through connectingchannels 9, which are located between the cylinders 3. Each connectingchannel 9 passes between two consecutive cylinders 3 of thecylinder bank 4. Part of the connectingchannels 9 can extend above the cylinders 3, in which case those parts of the connectingchannels 9 are between the extensions of the cylinders 3. Additionally, connectingchannels 9 may be arranged at one or at both ends of thecylinder banks 4. The connectingchannels 9 can be arranged at least partly in theengine block 2. Infigure 2 , each connectingchannel 9 comprises aportion 9a that is in theengine block 2. Theportion 9a of those connectingchannels 9 that are not at the ends of theengine 1 pass between two adjacent cylinders of thecylinder bank 4. The auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7 are closed at both ends. - The reciprocating
engine 1 comprises twoexhaust channels 10 for discharging exhaust gas from the cylinders 3. Each of thecylinder banks 4 is provided with aseparate exhaust channel 10. Theexhaust channels 10 are arranged between thecylinder banks 4. Theexhaust channels 10 can be mounted on theengine block 2. In the embodiment shown in the drawings theexhaust channels 10 are placed on both sides of the maininlet air receiver 6. Additionally, theexhaust channels 10 are located above the maininlet air receiver 6. Theexhaust channels 10 are parallel to thecylinder banks 4. Instead of two exhaust channels, theengine 1 may comprise only oneexhaust channel 10, to which the cylinders 3 of bothbanks 4 are connected. - Each cylinder 3 is provided with a
separate cylinder head 11 having anintake port 12 for conducting inlet air into the cylinder 3 and anexhaust port 13 for discharging exhaust gas from the cylinder 3. Thecylinder head 11 is a cross flow design where the inlet of theintake port 12 and the outlet of theexhaust port 13 are on the opposite sides of thecylinder head 11. The auxiliaryinlet air receiver 7 is connected to the intake port inlets and theexhaust channel 10 to the exhaust port outlets. The auxiliaryinlet air receiver 7 and theexhaust channel 10 are placed on the opposite sides of thecylinder head 11. The combined cross-sectional flow area of the connectingchannels 9 connected to the auxiliaryinlet air receiver 7 is equal to or greater than that of theintake ports 12, to which said auxiliaryinlet air receiver 7 is connected. - When the
engine 1 is running, inlet air pressure is increased by the turbocharger 8. Thereafter, the inlet air is conducted into the maininlet air receiver 6, from which inlet air is conducted through connectingchannels 9 into the auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7. From the auxiliaryinlet air receivers 7 inlet air is conducted through theintake ports 12 into the cylinders 3. Exhaust gas is discharged from the cylinders 3 through theexhaust ports 13 into theexhaust channels 10. Thereafter, exhaust gas is conducted through exhaust channel(s) 10 into the turbocharger 8. - The invention may have embodiments deviating from those described above. The
reciprocating engine 1 can be an in-line engine having cylinders arranged in a single bank. In this embodiment, the inlet channel is provided with a main inlet air receiver and an auxiliary inlet air receiver. The auxiliary inlet air receiver is arranged downstream of the main inlet air receiver and upstream of the cylinders. The main inlet air receiver and the auxiliary inlet air receiver can be placed on opposite sides of the cylinder line and arranged in flow communication through connecting channels, which are arranged between the cylinders. The engine is provided with one exhaust channel, which can be placed on the same side of the cylinder bank as the main inlet air receiver. In other respects, the embodiment corresponds to that described above.
