Definitions
- the present invention relates to an external hot-spring engine.
- External hot-spring engines for example of the Ericsson type, are experiencing renewed interest and development, with the aim of reducing pollutant emissions or reducing energy consumption by upgrading heat rejections.
- This type of engine operates between two heat sources external to the engine via heat exchangers. It uses valves to control the flow of working fluid (in the gas phase) between two chambers, one of compression and the other of relaxation.
- valves actuated by cams are also known.
- This type of distribution has various limitations.
- the pressure on the face of the valve opposite to the working chamber must be low.
- the maximum lift of the valve is low if the duration (measured in degrees of rotation angle of the cam) opening of the valve is low.
- camming is energy intensive.
- volumetric machines such as compressors, which use a valve distribution are also known.
- This solution requires that the pressure differential on each valve always has, at each stage of the operating cycle of the machine, a value and a direction appropriate for the valve is in the - open or closed - state necessary for the considered stage of the machine. cycle.
- an external hot source such as those described in the two patent applications FR 2 905 728 and FR 2,954,799
- the working gas is compressed in a working chamber, then transferred to a hot source, and from there re-transferred to the same working chamber at the beginning of an expansion time of this chamber.
- the two aforementioned transfers of the working gas must be brief and operate through a passage section large enough to minimize the pressure drop.
- the object of the present invention is to propose an external hot-spring engine making it possible to remedy at least in part the problems mentioned above. It also aims to provide a compact engine.
- an external hot-spring engine comprising:
- a cylinder head defining, with the piston and the cylinder, a working chamber for a working gas
- a distribution mounted in the cylinder head and selectively communicating the working chamber with the following resources:
- the distribution comprises at least one rotary plug rotatably mounted in the cylinder head and has internal passages opening through its side wall by at least one mouth which selectively communicates with the working chamber by at least one light made in the breech.
- the engine according to the invention has the advantage, compared to devices comprising valves, of distributing gas flows with little loss of load, via sections of large passages for very short times. Compared to an engine implementing an ERICSSON cycle, the engine according to the invention makes it possible to significantly divide the friction and the pressure losses. It improves engine performance while reducing the number of parts and thus the size and weight of the engine.
- plug means a cylindrical element comprising internal passages in which the working gas can circulate.
- An internal passage is for example a conduit.
- the plug is arranged so that its axis of rotation is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder above which it is arranged.
- the plug is located between the working chamber and the exchanger along the path of the working gas.
- the rotary movement of the plug is synchronized with the reciprocating movement of the piston, so that the working gas can pass through the plug via the internal passages, and thus distribute the gas between the working chamber and the exchanger.
- each internal passage communicates with at least two openings formed through the side wall of the plug, each opening being at one of the two ends of the internal passage.
- the working gas flows between the working chamber and the cold inlet of the exchanger by passing through at least one lumen of the cylinder head and at least one internal passage of the rotary plug.
- Mouthpiece is a plug opening that selectively coincides with at least one lumen in the cylinder head.
- the plug distribution system makes it possible to propose a large section for the passage of the working gas, especially as soon as a mouthpiece begins to coincide with a light of the cylinder head.
- the passage section increases rapidly, for example linearly, until the mouth coincides perfectly with the light of the cylinder head.
- a cam actuates a valve according to a substantially sinusoidal law so that the section of passage of the working gas increases very slowly at the beginning of the opening movement.
- the bushel distribution allows the thermodynamic cycle, of the four-stroke type, to be carried out according to:
- the heated working gas is re-transferred to the working chamber at the beginning of an expansion time of the same working chamber; then
- the two aforementioned transfers of the working gas are brief and operate through a passage section large enough to minimize the pressure drop.
- At least one lumen of the yoke is capable of communicating with two internal passages of the plug which open through the side wall of the plug by two mouths aligned circumferentially.
- the angular difference between the two neighboring mouths is between 5 and 15 degrees.
- These values, as well as the angular values subsequently provided for the mouths and orifices, are indicated for a rotational speed of the plug between 3000 and 4000 rpm (revolutions per minute) and a temperature of the coolant between 500 ° C and 600 ° C (degrees Celsius).
- Said two internal passages are, one, a passage through which the working gas enters the working chamber, and the other, a passage through which the working gas leaves the working chamber. This feature allows a working gas exiting the working chamber, and a working gas entering the working chamber, to cross. This avoids an unfavorable phenomenon of relatively low pressure in the working chamber at the beginning of the expansion phase.
- the bushel comprises: an internal passage intended to circulate the cold and compressed working gas between the working chamber and the cold end of the exchanger, and
- the working gas entering the exchanger is said to be “cold” in comparison with its higher temperature when it leaves “hot” from the exchanger. It must however be understood that the “cold” working gas entering the exchanger is already warmed by its compression in the working chamber. Similarly, the "cold" end of the exchanger is still at a temperature close to that of the working gas at the end of compression.
- the distribution is arranged so that towards the end of the compression, the working chamber begins to communicate with the cold end of the exchanger when the pressure in the working chamber is lower than the pressure in the chamber. exchanger.
- the cold and compressed working gas and / or during compression enters the rotary valve when at least a portion of the mouth coincides with the light to circulate the cold and compressed working gas to the cold end of the exchanger.
- the section of passage between the working chamber and the mouth increases with the rotation of the bushel. When the mouth of the plug coincides perfectly with the light of the cylinder head, the passage section is maximum. Most, at least 50%, of the volume of cold and compressed working gas then passed through said mouth.
- the internal passages open through the side wall of the plug by orifices which selectively communicate with fixed connections according to the angular position of the plug.
- the orifices of the plug make it possible to circulate the working gas from the internal passages of the plug to the connections or from the connections to the internal passages of the plug.
- the geometry of the at least one plug is such that the orifice is capable of communicating with the corresponding connector when the mouth communicates with the working chamber. This characteristic makes it possible to communicate the working chamber with the connections, so as to circulate the working gas.
- Said connectors comprise a cold connector communicating with the cold end of the exchanger and a hot connector communicating with the hot end of the exchanger.
- Said connectors include an inlet connection communicating with the working gas inlet and an exhaust connection communicating with the exhaust of the working gas.
- mouth and orifice correspond to or qualify openings made through the side wall of the plug.
- the term mouthpiece is used to describe each opening capable of communicating with the lumen of the cylinder head for the passage of the working gas from the working chamber to the plug or vice versa.
- the term orifice is used to describe each opening capable of communicating with a connection for the passage of working gas from the plug to the fitting or vice versa.
- a mouth can not serve as an orifice and vice versa.
- the at least one mouthpiece is offset axially relative to the at least one orifice.
- the mouths and orifices or openings of the plug are only arranged through the side wall.
- the mouths and orifices or openings of the plug may be arranged, in part or solely, through the two axial faces of the plug.
- the engine comprises a low-pressure valve controlling the selective communication of the working chamber with the intake and the exhaust.
- the engine comprises a high pressure bushing controlling the selective communication of the working chamber with the hot and cold ends of the exchanger.
- the bushels may have the same or different diameters. Bushes of identical diameter can simplify the construction of the engine.
- This embodiment also satisfies the need to provide a relatively large passage section for the gas going to and from the exchanger, since the gas is then compressed, the volume that must flow is smaller than the admission and in the exhaust.
- a high pressure bushing with a diameter greater than the diameter of the low pressure bushel makes it possible to further enlarge the passage section of the internal passages, going to the exchanger and back.
- the engine comprises two fixed connections, a connection called “high pressure” and a connection called “low pressure”.
- the high pressure connection comprises a cold connection communicating with the cold end of the exchanger and a hot connector communicating with the hot end of the exchanger.
- the low-pressure connection includes an intake connection and an exhaust connection.
- thermodynamic cycle is carried out in a single cylinder.
- the breech surmounting the working chamber, supports the high-pressure bushel and the low pressure bushel, which are arranged parallel to each other parallel to the axis of the bushel.
- the breech has a general geometric shape evoking a triangle. It has a lower face and two curvilinear lateral faces whose upper ends meet.
- the cylinder head has two concave and opposite lateral faces, each face being arranged to receive a cylindrical plug, by complementarity of form.
- each lateral face has a section in the shape of an arc of a circle substantially coaxial with the axis of the bushel received.
- the lights are made in the side faces. Preferably, the lights are of rectangular shapes to limit the losses of charges.
- the cylinder head has a substantially flat bottom face intended to be in contact with the engine liner.
- the lower face comprises a chamber opening which defines the inlet of a transition cavity and which, during operation of the motor, extends the volume of the working chamber (similar in shape to the shape of the cylinder) seen parallel to the bush axis.
- the transition cavity has a substantially triangular shape.
- the piston head has a shape complementary to the shape of the transition cavity, so that the head can enter the transition cavity.
- the at least one mouth comprises two mouths for the same internal passage, able to communicate simultaneously with the working chamber, by two lights.
- Each mouth may coincide with a light.
- This feature is particularly advantageous in order to find a compromise between a large flow section for the flow of the working gas, limit the pressure drop of said flow and limit the leakage of working gas between the plug and the cylinder head. This compromise is even more important for the high pressure bushel.
- the gas passes through the two mouths of the high-pressure bushel through the two lumens of the cylinder head so that the flow is divided in two to cross the two lights and the two mouths, forming two lines of flow. After the two mouths, each flow line flows in a duct opening into a common duct.
- the internal passageway actually has the shape of a Y according to this particular embodiment.
- the lights and the mouths have a rectangular shape to limit the losses.
- At least one of the mouths is subdivided by at least one mullion.
- This feature allows to support sealing devices, placed on the cylinder head, when the at least one mouth passes a light of the cylinder head.
- the mullions can equip both the mouths of the low-pressure bushel and those of the high-pressure bushel.
- mullion means a bar designed to subdivide only the mouth without protruding inside the bushel (without dividing the internal passage). It extends circumferentially to connect two longitudinal sides of a mouthpiece so as to prolong the circumference of the bushel.
- At least one passage comprises two passages leading in parallel to the same resource, capable of simultaneously communicating each with a respective light of the cylinder head. This feature makes it possible to provide a large passage section for the working gas.
- the flow of the working gas is divided into two flow lines, which flow in two separate internal passages inside the bushel.
- the two flow lines are divided before entering the two orifices of the bushel and meet after the exit of the two lights of the cylinder head.
- the shape of the sections and the layout of the internal passages are made to promote the circulation of the working gas in precise directions, for example to promote the suction of the gas, especially to avoid a compression effect in the bushel.
- they are arranged to limit the differential pressures along each bushel. This limits the friction between the plug and the cylinder head and thus limit the risk of leakage of working gas around the bushel.
- the external hot-source engine may comprise several cylinders such as an internal combustion engine.
- the engine may comprise at least two cylinders.
- the at least one plug may comprise two orifices circumferentially aligned to communicate selectively with the same connection, and each of which communicates with a respective passage associated with a respective one of the cylinders. This feature reduces the size of the bushel and thus the size of the engine.
- the orifices are opposed for example by 180 degrees and the internal passages upstream of said orifices are adjacent and have a common wall.
- the bushel is advantageously the same for all the cylinders which are arranged in line with each other.
- the engine comprises sealing devices to limit gas leaks.
- the lights are surrounded by sealing devices to close the gap between the peripheral wall of the plug and an adjacent surface of the bolt around each lumen.
- the sealing device may comprise bars of a material for dry friction, for example graphite.
- the bars are arranged on the lateral faces of the cylinder head around the lights.
- a motorization assembly comprising an engine according to one or more of the above-mentioned characteristics and a heat exchanger having a heat-receiving path extending between a cold end and a hot end selectively connected to the working chamber towards the end of a compression phase and to the beginning a relaxation phase, respectively.
- the working gas flows in the heat-receiving path.
- the exchanger is of the countercurrent type.
- the heat exchanger comprises a heat-transfer path traversed in one direction by a heat-transfer fluid, which direction is opposite to the direction of travel of the working gas in the heat-receiving path.
