- the passive state that is, when no water flows through the riser pipes, this turns into FIG. 3 Shown one. If water returning from the turbine unit 30 then flows through the static riser 92, the return flow check valve opens, working fluid flows through the riser tubes, exits from the opening 95 at the upper end of the moveable riser and thus pushes the displacer upwards.
- the required working fluid pressure is provided predominantly by the turbine unit, however, it is additionally provided in both directions a drivable pump 73 in the working fluid return line ( Fig. 1 ).
- FIG. 5 shows the starting point of a cycle, whereby the starting time of a cycle can of course be determined arbitrarily.
- FIG. 5a shows the pV diagram for FIG. 5 , wherein the states of the working gases of the two Hydrostirling units 10, 20 are shown.
- the displacer 13 of the first Hydrostirling unit 10 is in its top dead center, where it can abut the better heat transfer to the upper container wall.
- the container 11 has its maximum working fluid level and thus its minimum gas volume. The gas is located between the surface of the working fluid and the underside of the displacer 13, so it is relatively cold.

- the working fluid level of the second hydrostirling unit 20 is minimal and the underside of the displacer 23 rests on the surface of the working fluid. Also in the container 21 of the second Hydrostirling unit 20 prevails the form, ie 12 bar, the working gas is relatively hot.
- the first pump 73 is briefly driven in the return direction, so that the first displacer 13 is lowered until it hits the surface of the working fluid.
- the relatively cold gas flows through the regenerator 13b of the displacer 13, wherein it is heated.
- the gas is isochoric compressed, in the illustrated embodiment to about 33 bar.
- the state of the second hydrostirling unit 20 does not change here.
- the second pump 76 is driven at a short open check valve 78 and thus the displacer 23 of the second Hydrostirling unit 20 is raised.
- the hot gas flows through the regenerator, cools and is thus isochorically decompressed, in the embodiment shown to about 4.3 bar.
- the check valve 52 of the first working fluid line 50, the check valve 78 of the second working fluid return line 74 and the control nozzle 56 is opened, so that a pressure equalization between the container 11 of the first Hydrostirling unit 10, the turbine tank 30 and the container 21 of the second Stirling unit 20 can take place.
- the hot gas in the container 11 expands substantially isothermally and forces the working fluid out of the container 11.
- the displacer continues to float on the working fluid.

- FIG. 10 shows a second embodiment of the invention in a representation corresponding to Figure 1 representations.
- the hydrostirling machine of the second embodiment is constructed like the hydrostirling machine of the first embodiment, but the two hydrostirling units 10 and 20 additionally have a steam generating unit 17, 27, each consisting of a steam generator 17b, 27b, a reservoir 17c, 27c and a return 17d, 27d exists.
- the steam generators receive their heat entirely or predominantly from the outer wall of the container below the separation point between the hot and cold part of the container and thus contribute to the desired cooling.
- the generated steam is - preferably as superheated steam (for which an unillustrated additional superheater may be provided) - injected into the turbine tank (reference numeral 100).
- FIG. 11 shows a fourth embodiment in one of FIG. 1 corresponding representation. No steam injection is shown, but it may be present.

- a check valve is provided in each bypass line.
- FIGS. 5 to 11 the lifting devices are not shown in detail, but it is preferable that these as with respect to the FIGS. 2 to 4 are formed described. In principle, however, it is also conceivable to use lifting devices which are independent of the working fluid circuit.
- the FIG. 12 shows one way in which the thermal separation between the upper tank area and the lower tank area during the phase in which the displacer 13 is in its upper end position, can be improved.
- the inner wall of the shell of the container 11 has a downwardly facing step and the cylinder jacket 14 a stop.

- the stop of the cylinder jacket 14 is preferably formed as a bead 14a.
- Step and stop are arranged so that the stop abuts the step or the seal 14a when the displacer piston 13 is in its upper end position (see, for example FIG. 10 ). This ensures that no cold water in the gap between the cylinder jacket 14 and the inside of the upper container part 11a can rise to the top, when the Displacer is in its upper end position, whereby the thermal decoupling is improved.
- the described measure can be provided in both hydrostirling units 10, 20.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hydrostirling-Maschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a hydrostirling machine according to the preamble of
Stirlingmotoren sind seit langer Zeit bekannt und haben trotz ihrer grundsätzlichen Einfachheit und trotz des theoretisch hohen erzielbaren Wirkungsgrades bisher kaum Eingang in die Praxis gefunden.Stirling engines have been known for a long time and, despite their fundamental simplicity and despite the theoretically high achievable efficiency, have so far barely found their way into practice.
Ein "klassischer" Stirlingmotor weist wenigstens einen mit Gas, beispielsweise Luft, gefüllten Zylinder, einen axialbeweglich in diesen Zylinder gehaltenen Verdrängerkolben (auch Regenerator genannt) sowie einen ebenfalls axialbeweglich in diesen Zylinder gehaltenen sogenannten Arbeitskolben auf. Hierbei sind Verdrängerkolben und Arbeitskolben über eine Kurbelwelle miteinander gekoppelt, so dass sie eine gegenläufige Bewegung durchführen, wobei der Phasenwinkel normalerweise 180 Grad beträgt. In anderen Ausführungsformen des Stirlingmotores können Arbeitskolben und Verdrängerkolben auch in getrennten, jedoch miteinander verbundenen Zylindern angeordnet sein.A "classic" Stirling engine has at least one cylinder filled with gas, for example air, an axially displaceable piston (also called a regenerator) held in this cylinder and a so-called working piston, which is likewise held axially movable in this cylinder. Here, displacement piston and piston are coupled together via a crankshaft, so that they perform an opposite movement, the phase angle is normally 180 degrees. In other embodiments of the Stirling engine, working pistons and displacers may also be arranged in separate but interconnected cylinders.
Solche mechanischen Stirlingmotoren laufen in der Regel relativ schnell, worin auch die Probleme begründet liegen, welche ihren Durchbruch in der Praxis bislang verhindert haben: durch die relativ schnellen Bewegungen weicht der tatsächliche Stirlingprozess vom theoretisch erreichbaren Stirlingprozess relativ stark ab, was natürlich zu einer Verschlechterung des theoretisch erreichbaren Wirkungsgrades führt. Weiterhin unterliegt insbesondere der Arbeitskolben einem hohen Dichtungsverschleiss, was bisherige mechanische Stirlingmotoren sehr wartungsaufwendig macht beziehungsweise ihre Lebensdauer stark herabsetzt.Such mechanical Stirling engines usually run relatively quickly, which also causes the problems that have hitherto prevented their breakthrough in practice: due to the relatively fast movements, the actual Stirling process deviates relatively strongly from the theoretically achievable Stirling process, which naturally leads to a deterioration of the Stirling process theoretically achievable efficiency leads. Furthermore, in particular, the working piston is subject to a high seal wear, which makes existing mechanical Stirling engines very expensive to maintain or greatly reduces their service life.
Aus der gattungsbildenden
Ein Nachteil der in der
Hiervon ausgehend stellt sich die vorliegende Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine gattungsgemäße Hydro-Stirling-Maschine zu verbessern.On this basis, the present object of the invention to improve a generic hydro-Stirling engine.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Energiewandler-Einheit als Turbineneinheit mit einem Turbinenbehälter und einem in diesem Turbinenbehälter angeordneten Turbinenrad, insbesondere einem Pelton-Turbinenrad, ausgebildet. Der Einsatz einer anderen Gleichdruck-Turbine wäre jedoch ebenfalls möglich. Der Arbeitsflüssigkeits-Kreislauf weist mehrere Leitungen auf, wobei sich jeweils wenigstens eine Arbeitsflüssigkeitsleitung zwischen einer Hydrostirling-Einheit und der Turbineneinheit derart erstrecken, dass Arbeitsflüssigkeit, welche von einer Hydrostirling-Einheit zur Turbineneinheit fließt, zunächst auf das Turbinenrad trifft und dann in einen Bereich des Turbinenbehälters unterhalb des Turbinenrades fällt. Weiterhin weist der Arbeitsflüssigkeits-Kreislauf wenigstens zwei Arbeitsflüssigkeitsrückleitungen auf, wobei jeweils wenigstens eine Arbeitsflüssigkeitsrückleitung den Turbinenbehälter mit einer Hydrostirling-Einheit verbindet.According to the invention, the energy converter unit is designed as a turbine unit with a turbine tank and a turbine wheel arranged in this turbine tank, in particular a Pelton turbine wheel. The use However, another constant pressure turbine would also be possible. The working fluid circuit has a plurality of lines, wherein in each case at least one working fluid line between a hydraulic Stirling unit and the turbine unit extend such that working fluid, which flows from a Hydrostirling unit to the turbine unit, first meets the turbine wheel and then into a range of Turbine tank falls below the turbine wheel. Furthermore, the working fluid circuit has at least two working fluid return lines, wherein in each case at least one working fluid return line connects the turbine container with a hydrostirling unit.
Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass sich das als Energiewandler dienende Turbinenrad immer in dieselbe Richtung drehen kann, was zum Antrieb eines Stromgenerators sehr vorteilhaft ist. Weiterhin sind die beiden Hydrostirling-Einheiten hydraulisch entkoppelt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass sie nicht exakt phasenstarr gekoppelt sind. Zum anderen kann der hohe Wirkungsgrad einer Pelton-Turbine über einen weiten Lastbereich genutzt werden.This makes it possible that the serving as an energy converter turbine wheel can always rotate in the same direction, which is very advantageous for driving a power generator. Furthermore, the two hydrostirling units are hydraulically decoupled. This has the advantage that they are not coupled exactly phase-locked. On the other hand, the high efficiency of a Pelton turbine can be used over a wide load range.
Um auf eine einfache, wartungsfreie und reibungsfreie Art eine Abdichtung zwischen Verdrängerkolben und Behälterinnenwand zu erreichen, sind die Verdrängerkolben jeweils Teil einer Verdrängerkolbeneinheit, welche außer dem Verdrängerkolben einen sich vom Verdrängerkolben nach unten erstreckenden Zylindermantel, dessen Außenfläche im Wesentlichen mit der Außenfläche des Verdrängerkolbens fluchtet, aufweist.In order to achieve a seal between displacer piston and container inner wall in a simple, maintenance-free and friction-free manner, the displacement pistons are each part of a displacer piston unit which, except the displacer piston, has a cylinder jacket extending downwards from the displacer piston whose outer surface is substantially flush with the outer surface of the displacer piston, having.
Um die Steuerung der Verdrängerkolben zu vereinfachen, sind sie vorzugsweise so dimensioniert, dass sie schwimmen. Hierdurch ist lediglich eine Steuerung, keine Regelung notwendig. Die Schwimmfähigkeit kann insbesondere dadurch erreicht werden, dass jeder Verdrängerkolben mit einem Auftriebskörper verbunden ist.To simplify the control of the displacers, they are preferably dimensioned to float. As a result, only one control, no control is necessary. The buoyancy can be achieved in particular by connecting each displacement piston to a buoyancy body.

Die Hydrostirling-Einheiten 10, 20 sind, wie erwähnt, gleichartig aufgebaut und weisen jeweils einen Behälter 11, 21, einen Heizkopf 12, 22 zum Beheizen des jeweils oberen Teils eines Behälters 11, 21, einen Verdrängerkolben 13, 23 sowie eine Hebeeinrichtung 16, 26 zum Anheben des jeweiligen Verdrängerkolbens 13, 23 auf. Auf eine konkrete Ausgestaltung der Hebeeinrichtungen 16, 26 wird später eingegangen. Die Mantelflächen der Behälter 11, 21 sind jeweils vorzugsweise zweiteilig aufgebaut (in
Jeder Verdrängerkolben 13, 23 weist eine ringförmige Isolierung 13a, 23a sowie einen von dieser Isolierung 13a, 23a umschlossenen, zumindest abschnittsweise gasdurchlässigen Regenerator 13b, 23b auf. Hierbei ist es bevorzugt, dass die Isolierung 13a, 23a oben bündig mit dem Regenerator 13b, 23b ist, sich jedoch über sein unteres Ende hinaus erstreckt (nur in den
Es ist eine Turbineneinheit 30 vorgesehen, über welche die beiden Hydrostirling-Einheiten 10, 20 miteinander verbunden sind, worauf später genauer eingegangen wird. Die Turbineneinheit 30 weist einen Druckbehälter, welcher als Turbinenbehälter 32 bezeichnet wird, auf, in dessen Innerem ein Turbinenrad 34, welches vorzugsweise das Turbinenrad einer Peltonturbine ist, angeordnet ist. Das Turbinenrad 34 ist mittels einer über ein druckdichtes Lager durch die Behälterwand des Turbinenbehälters 32 geführten Welle oder eine mittels einer Magnetkupplung mit einem Generator 36 zur Stromerzeugung verbunden. Die dem Generator 36 nachgeschalteten elektrischen Aggregate sind nicht dargestellt, da sie für die vorliegende Erfindung nicht von Bedeutung sind.A
In der Regel ist es zu bevorzugen, die Hydrostirling-Maschine unter erhöhtem Vordruck von beispielsweise 10 bis 50 bar zu betreiben, wozu ein Kompressor oder eine Druckgasflasche 40 vorgesehen ist, welcher mit einer Druckgasleitung 42 mit dem Inneren des Turbinenbehälters 32 verbunden ist. Der Turbinenbehälter 32 bildet, ebenso wie die unteren Abschnitte der Behälter 11, 21, das kalte Ende der Hydrostirling-Maschine. Dies ist durch die angedeuteten Kühlrippen symbolisiert.As a rule, it is preferable to operate the hydrostirling machine under increased admission pressure of, for example, 10 to 50 bar, for which purpose a compressor or
Der Arbeitsflüssigkeits-Kreislauf der Hydrostirling-Maschine weist folgende Bestandteile auf: Jede der beiden Hydrostirling-Einheiten 10, 20 ist mit der Turbineneinheit 30 mittels einer Arbeitsflüssigkeitsleitung 50, 60 verbunden, welche jeweils im Bereich des Bodens des Behälters 11, 21 der jeweiligen Hydrostirling-Einheit beginnt und in einer auf das Turbinenrad 34 gerichteten, regelbaren Düse 56, 66 endet. Jede dieser Arbeitsflüssigkeitsleitung 50, 60 weist weiterhin ein Sperrventil 52, 62 auf. Diese Arbeitsflüssigkeitsleitungen dienen dazu, dass Arbeitsflüssigkeit, welche vorzugsweise aus Wasser oder überwiegend aus Wasser besteht, von dem jeweiligen Behälter 11, 21 einer Hydrostirling-Einheit 10, 20 zur Turbineneinheit 30 strömen kann, um dort unter Wandlung von Druck in Geschwindigkeit das Turbinenrad 34 anzutreiben.The hydraulic fluid circuit of the hydrostirling machine has the following components: Each of the two
Weiterhin ist jeder Behälter 11, 21 einer Hydrostirling-Einheit mittels einer Arbeitsflüssigkeitsrückleitung 70, 74 mit dem Turbinenbehälter 32 verbunden, in welcher jeweils eine in beide Richtungen antreibbare Pumpe 73, 76 angeordnet ist. Diese Arbeitsflüssigkeitsrückleitungen 70, 74 erstrecken sich jeweils von Behälterboden zu Behälterboden (oder nahe des Behälterbodens) und weisen jeweils ein Sperrventil 72, 78 auf.Furthermore, each
Ein Austausch von Arbeitsgas, beispielsweise Stickstoff, zwischen den Behältern findet nicht, oder nur über Lösung des Arbeitsgases in der Arbeitsflüssigkeit statt, so dass die Gasmenge in jedem Zylinder über die Zeit konstant ist. Die Arbeitsflüssigkeit ist vorzugsweise Wasser.An exchange of working gas, such as nitrogen, between the containers does not take place, or only via solution of the working gas in the working fluid, so that the amount of gas in each cylinder is constant over time. The working fluid is preferably water.
Es ist zu bevorzugen, dass - wie auch dargestellt - sämtliche Behälter denselben Durchmesser aufweisen.It is preferable that - as shown - all containers have the same diameter.
Nun wird nun mit Bezug auf die
Es ist, wie bereits erwähnt, ein Auftriebskörper 90, beispielsweise in Form einer Hohlkugel vorgesehen, welche über Verbindungselemente, wie beispielsweise Bolzen 91 mit dem Zylindermantel 14 verbunden ist. Der Hohlkörper weist ein vollständig ummanteltes Durchgangsloch auf, durch welches sich ein statisches Steigrohr 92 erstreckt, dessen unteres Ende starr und dicht mit dem Behälter 11 verbunden ist und in welches die erste Arbeitsflüssigkeitsrückleitung 70 mündet. Zwischen dem statischen Steigrohr 92 und der Wandung des Loches ist wenigstens ein Lager, beispielsweise in Form eines Kugellagers, vorgesehen. Eingezeichnet sind in der
Am unteren Ende des beweglichen Steigrohres 94 ist ein Rückfluss-Sperrventil, beispielsweise in Form eines vorgespannten Kugelventils vorgesehen, durch welches Arbeitsflüssigkeit bei Überschreiten eines vorbestimmten Differenzdrucks vom statischen Steigrohr 92 in das bewegliche Steigrohr 94 gelangen kann. Im Bereich des unteren Endes trägt die Außenwandung des beweglichen Steigrohrs 94 Kolbendichtungsringe, welche symbolisch dargestellt sind. Die Kolbendichtungsringe befinden sich vollständig innerhalb des Arbeitsflüssigkeitskreislaufs. Diese Details sind in
Die Funktionsweise der Hebeeinrichtung 16 wird nun mit Bezug auf die
Der benötigte Arbeitsflüssigkeitsdruck wird überwiegend von der Turbineneinheit zur Verfügung gestellt, es ist jedoch zusätzlich eine in beide Richtungen antreibbare Pumpe 73 in der Arbeitsflüssigkeitsrückleitung vorgesehen (
Der Betrieb der eben beschriebenen Maschine wird nun anhand eines halben Zyklus mit Bezug auf die
Der Arbeitsflüssigkeitspegel im Turbinenbehälter 32 ist maximal und der Druck im Turbinenbehälter ist ebenfalls der Vordruck, also 12 bar. Das momentane Gasvolumen im Turbinenbehälter entspricht dem Gasvolumen im Behälter 11 der ersten Hydrostirling-Einheit 10.The working fluid level in the
Der Arbeitsflüssigkeits-Pegel der zweiten Hydrostirling-Einheit 20 ist minimal und die Unterseite des Verdrängerkolbens 23 liegt auf der Oberfläche der Arbeitsflüssigkeit auf. Auch im Behälter 21 der zweiten Hydrostirling-Einheit 20 herrscht der Vordruck, also 12 bar, das Arbeitsgas ist relativ heiß.The working fluid level of the
Nun wird, wie in
Nun wird, wie in
Als nächstes wird das Sperrventil 78 wieder geöffnet, so dass Arbeitsflüssigkeit vom Turbinenbehälter 30 in den Behälter 21 der zweiten Hydrostirling-Einheit fließt und hierbei ein Druckausgleich zwischen dem Turbinenbehälter und dem Behälter 21 der ersten Hydrostirling-Einheit stattfindet (
Nun wird das Sperrventil 52 der ersten Arbeitsflüssigkeitsleitung 50, das Sperrventil 78 der zweiten Arbeitsflüssigkeits-Rückleitung 74 und auch die Regeldüse 56 geöffnet, so dass ein Druckausgleich zwischen dem Behälter 11 der ersten Hydrostirling-Einheit 10, dem Turbinenbehälter 30 und dem Behälter 21 der zweiten Stirling-Einheit 20 stattfinden kann. Das heiße Gas im Behälter 11 expandiert im Wesentlichen isotherm und drückt die Arbeitsflüssigkeit aus dem Behälter 11. Der Verdrängerkolben schwimmt hierbei weiter auf der Arbeitsflüssigkeit. Arbeitsflüssigkeit strömt vom Behälter 11 der ersten Hydrostirling-Einheit 10 durch die erste Arbeitsflüssigkeitsleitung 50, trifft auf das Turbinenrad 34 und gelangt somit in den Turbinenbehälter 32. Die Regeldüse 56 ist hierbei zu Beginn nur teilweise geöffnet und öffnet bei zunehmendem Druckausgleich immer mehr. Hierbei wird Arbeit geleistet, so dass der Generator 36 elektrische Energie erzeugt. Durch das geöffnete Absperrventil 76 der zweiten Arbeitsflüssigkeits-Rückleitung 74 steigt nicht nur der Arbeitsflüssigkeits-Pegel im Turbinenbehälter 30 sondern auch im Behälter 21 der zweiten Hydrostirling-Einheit 20, bis der Zustand der
Die
Um zu erreichen, dass die Arbeitsflüssigkeitsmenge, das heißt hier Wassermenge, in der Hydrostirling-Maschine konstant bleibt, muss über den Rücklauf 17d kontinuierlich oder in gewissen zeitlichen Abständen Wasser entnommen werden. Da die Menge an eingespritztem überhitztem Wasserdampf sehr klein sein kann, ist es ausreichend, in gewissen zeitlichen Abständen Wasser zu entnehmen.In order to ensure that the working fluid quantity, that is to say the amount of water in the hydrostirling machine, remains constant, water must be withdrawn continuously or at intervals over the
Die
Der Unterschied zu den bisher gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen besteht darin, dass zusätzlich zu den Arbeitsflüssigkeitsrückleitungen 70, 74 Bypass-Leitungen 71, 75 vorgesehen sind, welche den Turbinenbehälter 32 und die Behälter 11, 21 der Hydrostirling-Einheiten 20, 30 unter Umgehung der Pumpen 73, 76 und der Hebeeinrichtungen miteinander verbinden. In jeder Bypass-Leitung ist ein Sperrventil vorgesehen. Man könnte diese Bypass-Leitungen auch als zweite Arbeitsflüssigkeitsrückleitungen bezeichnen. Solange die Maschine mit geringer Frequenz (beispielsweise ein Zyklus pro Minute) und somit mit maximalem Wirkungsgrad betrieben wird, können die Bypass-Leitungen in der Regel funktionslos bleiben. Soll jedoch die Maschine mit höherer Leistung und somit mit größerem Durchsatz an Arbeitsflüssigkeit betrieben werden, so kann es sinnvoll sein, dass ein Teil der vom Turbinenbehälter 32 in den jeweiligen Behälter 11, 21 der betreffenden Hydrostirling-Einheit 10, 20 rücklaufenden Arbeitsflüssigkeit die Pumpe und die Hebeeinrichtung umgeht. Hierfür dienen die Bypass-Leitungen 71, 75.The difference from the embodiments shown so far is that in addition to the working
