Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piston compressor with at least one cylinder for compressing air with a piston arranged movably therein in a compression chamber arranged above the piston in the cylinder, which is connected to an inlet arrangement for air to be compressed and to an outlet arrangement for compressed air.
  • Piston compressors such as, in particular, oil-free piston compressors for rail vehicles, are used to fill compressed air tanks from which compressed air is withdrawn, in particular, at irregular intervals.
  • the piston compressors are usually dimensioned for the filling operation, in which a pressure vessel is to be filled up quickly, which is why a maximum volume flow is made available.
  • operation with maximum volume flow means a rather unfavorable operating state that could be avoided if the delivery capacity of such piston compressors was regulated according to requirements.
  • the interruption control of the compressed air delivery is implemented in that the compressor is switched to standstill as soon as the System pressure has reached the cut-out pressure. If the system pressure then falls to the switch-on pressure, in particular due to the withdrawal of compressed air, the piston compressor is switched to load operation, in which it delivers a maximum volume flow at the nominal speed. Unless larger amounts of compressed air are taken from the compressed air tank or the compressed air system at the same time, the compressed air tank fills up relatively quickly, so that the piston compressor is switched off again for a long time after a short switch-on time.
  • the control spectrum of this known solution is therefore limited to standstill and running under load and is unfavorable and even unsuitable for certain operating conditions due to the associated cold start as well as the higher wear and the longer downtimes of the piston compressor.
  • intermittent operation is implemented at various predefined speeds, for example by switching the motor between four and six poles or by an inverter that can be switched between 50 Hz and 60 Hz.
  • intermittent operation is implemented at various predefined speeds, for example by switching the motor between four and six poles or by an inverter that can be switched between 50 Hz and 60 Hz.
  • only a relatively limited control range can be implemented with the respective compressor due to the motor speeds specified in this process.
  • high engine speeds cause a high thermal load, particularly on oil-free sliding pairs, which significantly reduces the service life of a piston compressor.
  • the solution is a simple approach to regulating the volume flow, the control spectrum is limited by the fixed motor speeds and, under certain operating conditions, the changeover cannot generate a sufficient volume flow.
  • AT 135585 discloses a method for cooling gaseous media, according to which the gas is compressed in two stages, optionally with the interposition of a cooling device, whereupon the compressed gas flows to an expansion machine via a cooling device.
  • the US 2005/0220628 A1 relates to a method for checking a compressor system for malfunctions.
  • the compressor system cited for this purpose comprises two parallel low-pressure cylinders which are connected upstream of a high-pressure cylinder.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved reciprocating compressor with a larger control range of the delivery rate while improving the energy efficiency and power density.
  • a piston compressor with at least one cylinder for compressing air with a piston arranged movably therein in a compression space arranged above the piston in the cylinder is proposed.
  • the compression space has an air inlet and an air outlet and is connected at the air inlet to an inlet arrangement for air to be compressed and is connected to an outlet arrangement for compressed air at the air outlet.
  • the piston compressor can be driven by a first drive device.
  • the inlet arrangement has a pre-compression device, which can be driven by a second drive device with variable power, for increasing the intake pressure and a cooling device for cooling the air to be compressed.
  • the proposed solution makes it possible to increase the volume flow of a reciprocating compressor through the increased intake pressure and the reduced intake temperature of the intake air, whereby its delivery capacity increases.
  • the piston compressor is a known type of piston compressor with a cylinder in which a piston arranged therein is axially movable and in a reciprocating motion sucks in air to be compressed, in particular via an inlet valve arranged at the air inlet, compresses it from an inlet arrangement and in particular via an air outlet discharges arranged outlet valve against a pressure in an outlet arrangement.
  • the piston compressor is one of the first Drive device drivable.
  • the first drive device is an internal combustion engine, an electric drive device or another suitable drive device.
  • a piston compressor according to the invention can be both a dry-running, that is to say oil-free, piston compressor and a piston compressor that is not designed to be oil-free.
  • the inlet arrangement has a pre-compression device that can be driven by a second drive device with variable power.
  • the intake pressure in particular at the air inlet, can be increased variably from an output pressure p 0 up to a maximum pressure p max due to the variable power.
  • the higher suction pressure of the first cylinder in multi-stage piston compressors or the single cylinder in single-stage piston compressors increases the volume flow by ⁇ V, since the compression chamber of the cylinder is filled with air that is to be compressed under higher pressure.
  • the second drive device which is used to drive the pre-compression device, can also be an electric drive device or another suitable drive device, depending on the application.
  • the drive power of the second drive device can also be transferred to the first drive device or another available drive device, for example by means of a gear with a variable ratio.
  • the power transmitted by the second drive device can be variably adjusted.
  • the inlet arrangement has a cooling device through which the air to be compressed, which flows through the inlet arrangement suitable measures cool.
  • the cooling device is arranged in particular in the flow direction of the intake air after the pre-compression device, since the air is heated by the pre-compression.
  • the piston compressor it can also be provided that the intake air is cooled before and after the pre-compression.
  • the inlet arrangement in particular also has at least one conduit device which directs the intake air to the at least one cooling device and to the at least one compression device and connects them to one another and / or to the air inlet of the compression chamber.
  • a cooling device can also be arranged on the outside of a line device.
  • Suitable cooling devices of the inlet arrangement can be, for example, coolant heat exchangers or devices for enlarging the outer surface of the inlet arrangement or a line device such as line loops or cooling fins, which are used, for example, in connection with fans, or any other suitable type of device by means of which the flowing in the inlet arrangement Intake air heat energy can be withdrawn.
  • the proposed solution makes it possible to increase the volume flow of a reciprocating compressor by the factor p Max p 0 to increase the pre-compression device.
  • the delivery capacity of the piston compressor increases due to the increased intake pressure and the reduced intake temperature of the intake air.
  • the variable output of the pre-compression device in conjunction with the increase in output of the piston compressor, enables the piston compressor to have a broader control range towards the top. This also makes it possible to use piston compressors with a smaller overall size, since higher volume flows are achieved due to the increased suction pressure.
  • the proposed solution enables regulated compressor operation with briefly very high performance in the filling operation (large volume flow of the piston compressor) and constant operation with low power (lower volume flow of the piston compressor) in normal operation. This means that there is no risk of vibrations due to free inertia forces at low speeds and the maximum relative speeds of, in particular, oil-free sliding pairs can be maintained.
  • the proposed solution can lower the overall temperature level of a reciprocating compressor.
  • the proposed solution thus increases the control range of the volume flow and thus the delivery capacity of a compressor, leads to a reduction in relevant temperature levels and at the same time increases the energy efficiency and power density of the piston compressor.
  • the piston compressor is driven by a crankshaft which is rotatably mounted in a crankcase.
  • One or more connecting rods, each connected to a piston, are rotatably mounted at an eccentric position of the crankshaft in such a way that their rotational movement is transmitted as a stroke movement to the piston moving axially in a cylinder.
  • the piston compressor has at least one cylinder for compressing air, but can also have two or more cylinders arranged one after the other or in parallel, which are provided for compressing air by means of a piston movably arranged therein, so that the piston compressor can be designed in one or more stages can.

  • the intake air is essentially the air that is later sucked into the at least one cylinder of the piston compressor and compressed there.
  • the inlet arrangement has an air discharge device.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to guide a larger volume flow through the crankcase than is later received as intake air in the at least one cylinder of the piston compressor and is compressed there. In this way, the volume flow of cooling air in the crankcase can be increased and, at the same time, the heating of the intake air as it flows through the crankcase can be reduced.
  • the air diverting device can be designed, for example, in the form of a check valve or pressure relief valve, which opens from a predetermined pressure of the intake air.
  • the air discharge device can, however, also be designed in such a way that it can be opened and closed depending on predetermined parameter values, in particular by a control device.
  • excess intake air is discharged from the inlet arrangement into the environment; in another embodiment of an air discharge device, for example, a predetermined proportion of the cooled volume flow of the intake air can be returned to the crankcase.
  • an after-cooling device is arranged for cooling the compressed air after it has passed through the at least one cylinder of the piston compressor.
  • the outlet arrangement has an after-cooling device for cooling the compressed air.
