Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine in which a fine oil mist-containing blowby flow is removed by a gas recirculation device from a crankcase and the charge air is supplied, wherein the blowby flow is treated when passing through an arranged in the gas recirculation oil separator.
- crankcase Under blowby is understood in an internal combustion engine, also called internal combustion engine or piston engine, which in the compression of the piston rings from the working space in the engine room bypassing gas. During compression, unburned fuels penetrate into the crankcase. During the combustion cycle hot and often contaminated with aggressive pollutants gas enters the crankcase. Due to a permanent influence of the blowby gas, the engine oil can be heavily loaded. To reduce this load and the gas pressure in the crankcase, the crankcase is vented. The venting is usually via a gas recirculation device, which via a
- Gas outlet is connected to the crankcase.
- the gas recovery device directs the blowby gas mostly to the air filter box or to another point of the
- Crankcase also entrained oil drops.
- this can cause severe contamination of the components, such as throttle valve, turbocharger or valves.
- contamination with oil can lead to performance losses and disruptions.
- a device for treating the blow-by gas in particular an oil separator, is arranged in the gas recycling device.
- passive oil separators such as inertial separators, are used. These are inexpensive, robust and low maintenance.
- the individual oil drops in the blowby gas must not have a minimum body diameter
- Piston cooling nozzles Oltropfen sprayed to the piston head Piston cooling nozzles Oltropfen sprayed to the piston head.
- the invention has the object, a method of the type mentioned in such a way that the amount of entrained oil, especially small Oltropfen in the blowby flow, as much as possible before entering the blow-by flow in the fresh gas side of the engine becomes.
- a method in which a coarse oil mist is moved into the blowby flow before and / or during the treatment in the oil separator.
- a coarse oil mist By entering and moving large drops of oil in the blowby flow, small drops of oil in the blowby flow are bound to the large drops of oil. At the same time, the small drops of oil attach themselves to the large ones.
- the large oil droplets can be easily and effectively separated from the blowby flow with passive oil separators, such as deflector plates or baffle plates.
- the fine oil mist consists of small Oltropfen with a body diameter less than ten microns.
- the coarse oil mist is made up of large oil drops whose body diameter is greater than or equal to ten microns. According to the fine oil mist is thrown with large Oltropfen.
- the small drops of oil from the fine oil mist agglomerate on these large drops of oil.
- an internal combustion engine is further provided, wherein in the
- a spraying device for generating a coarse oil mist is arranged.
- an internal combustion engine is furthermore provided, in which guide elements for forming and maintaining a gas cylinder are arranged in the crankcase are.
- the gas roller is suitable for generating and / or accelerating a Grobolnebel.
- crankcase in particular before and / or during the discharge of the blow-by flow from the crankcase, is moved into the blowby flow. This makes it possible to use internal engine measures for generating and accelerating the large oil droplets and / or to exploit internal engine effects.
- the Grobolnebel is generated and / or accelerated by a moving in the crankcase to the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine gas roller.
- the movement of the crankshaft creates a gas roller in the crankcase.
- These large drops of oil are lifted, for example, from the crankshaft, from the inner wall of the crankcase, from the connecting rod or specially shaped guide elements or entrained when crossing the crankcase. Oil droplets traverse the crankcase as they drip or hurl gravity into the interior of the crankcase or are thrown into it.
- the inertial forces acting on the large oil droplets cause them to be ejected from the gas cylinder. They leave the gas roller in a direction which is approximately tangential to the rotational movement of the gas cylinder and which is oriented in the direction of rotation of the gas cylinder.
- a gas outlet opening for the blowby flow is arranged in the crank chamber so that the large oil droplets penetrate into the blowby flow when leaving the gas cylinder.
- the fine oil mist is thrown with large drops of oil, whereby the small drops of oil are bound.
- the Grobolnebel is moved in the blowby flow largely parallel to the blowby flow. This results in a long residence time of the coarse oil mist in the blowby flow, which allows many of the small oil droplets to agglomerate on the large oil droplets.
- guide elements are arranged in the crankcase, which promote a circulation of the gas volume around the crankshaft.
- the guide elements are concavely curved toward the crankshaft or arranged along a track concavely curved towards the crankshaft.
- oil planer and baffle are designed, which the oil pan of the
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the Grobolnebel is generated and / or accelerated by means of a spray device.
- the spray device for generating large drops of oil is preferably arranged in the crankcase.
- the spray device is directed to the blowby flow and / or gas outlet.
- the spraying device outside the crankcase, for example in the oil separator or behind the gas outlet opening, directed towards the crankcase.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of an internal combustion engine
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of a first design variant of a second
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a second design variant of a second
- Fig. 4 is a schematic representation of the principle underlying the invention.
- Figures 1, 2 and 3 show an internal combustion engine 1 with a crankcase 2, in which a crankshaft 3 is arranged to be movable about a rotation axis, not shown.
- the crankcase 2 is limited in the configuration of the internal combustion engine 1 shown here on one side by an oil pan 4 and on the other side by a cylinder 5.
- the invention may also be applied to other configurations of an internal combustion engine 1, such as a V-type engine or a Boxer engine.
- a piston 6 is arranged translationally movable.
- the piston 6 closes the working space 7 of the internal combustion engine 1 with respect to the crankcase 2.
- a connecting rod 8 also referred to as a drive rod, the piston 6 and the crankshaft 3 are connected.
- Blowby gas which passes past the piston 6 into the crankcase 2, is indicated by means of small arrows as a blowby flow 10.
- the blowby flow 10 is via a Gas return device 1 1 of the not shown fresh gas side of the internal combustion engine 1 fed.
- a channel cross-section 12 is indicated and an oil separator 13 is shown.
- the gas recycling device 1 1 is over a
- Crankcase 2 vanes 14 arranged, for example, a baffle or an oil planer.
- oil separated from the blowby flow 10 flows via an oil return 18 into the oil sump 4.
- Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the internal combustion engine 1.
- Embodiment is formed by the rotational movement of the crankshaft 3 and due to the arrangement and shape of the guide elements 14 in the crankcase 2, a gas roller 15 and maintained.
- the gas cylinder 15 is indicated by a large arrow.
- Coarse oil mist 16 is indicated by a thick, black arrow and is further explained in Figure 4.
- the small oil droplets in the blow-by flow 10 form a fine oil mist 17 shown in more detail in FIG. 4.
- the small oil droplets deposit on the large oil droplets.
- the large oil drops can easily and effectively in the passive oil separator 13 from the blow-by flow 10th
