- the terms “high” and “low” refer to the right position of normal use of a motor, shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5.
- the invention applies to diesel engines and generators. The following description will be made primarily with reference to a particular generator, namely the Caterpillar 3516 BHD engine, shown in Figure 1, but it is understood that the present invention could be applicable to any type of diesel engine.
- Figure 2 illustrates another generator, namely the Caterpillar 3516E engine, and will be described later the differences induced by this second embodiment.
- a diesel engine is an internal combustion engine whose ignition is spontaneous during the injection of fuel, by self-ignition phenomenon related to high temperatures in the combustion chamber or cylinder 34. These are achieved thanks to a high compression rate generated by an air compressor 29.
- the purpose of the compressor 29 is to increase the energy density in the combustion chamber 34, which makes it possible to increase the power of the engine without increasing its size or using a smaller engine (and therefore cheaper) for a given target power. By corollary effect, the ignition is facilitated.
- An object of the invention is to lower the combustion temperatures because the temperature has been identified as a powerful catalyst for the formation of nitrogen oxides.
- the principle of the invention is to supplement the humidity of the combustion air by the addition of water after the air compressor 29.
- the lowering of the air temperature due to the endothermic nature of the evaporation of the water, increases its density. This principle makes it possible to maintain the nominal oxygen supply despite the additional contribution of water vapor in the combustion air. As a result, the nominal power of the generator set is not impaired.
- the lowering of the air temperature has another consequence: it allows to lower the combustion temperature.
- the nitrogen contained in the air is less oxidized and therefore there is less NOx production in the exhaust.
- the device of the present invention takes into account the ambient conditions to adapt the injection of water to the relative humidity of the ambient air.
- the device according to the invention comprises:
- safety means such as probes and solenoid valves
- the system is designed to avoid any risk of non-start of the generator whose emergency function is often essential.
- the demineralized water is obtained from a bottle made of strong acidic and strong base anionic cationic resins.
- the mineral salts are thus captured by the bottle allowing the production of demineralised water.
- the quality of the produced water is measured by a communicating conductivity sensor with the control system. Injection principle:
- the injection is carried out by nozzles placed between the air compressor 29 and the combustion chamber or cylinder 34, preferably between the air compressor 29 and the air cooler 33.
- a nozzle is chosen at an angle of approximately 45 °, that is to say generating a spray forming an angle of approximately 45 °, to be adapted according to the configuration of the pipes.
- the angle must be adapted to the tube in which it is desired to place the nozzle. An angle too small decreases the exchange surface and therefore the amount of evaporable water. An excessive angle projects water droplets on the walls, with a loss of efficiency.
- the usual engine parts are drilled to place the nozzles, as shown in Figures 3 and 5.
- the position of the nozzle and its orientation is defined to maximize the nozzle / wall distance to optimize the heat exchange time between the air and water, and thus maximize the share of water that is vaporized.
- Figure 5 illustrates the placement of a nozzle in a hollow bend member typically having a wall thickness of 6 mm.
- a hole is machined in the curved upper part of the part, as shown in Figure 5.
- the dimensions in this first embodiment may be the following:
- d1 is between 90 mm and 120 mm, preferably 105 mm;
- d2 is between 180 mm and 200 mm, preferably 193 mm; d3 is between 190 mm and 220 mm, preferably 205 mm; d6 is between 230 mm and 260 mm, preferably 245.1 mm;
- the diameter d7 of the hole is between 20 mm and 30 mm, preferably 25 mm;
- the angle ⁇ of the axis of the hole with the vertical is between 15 ° and 25 °, preferably 19.5 °.
- a nozzle-holder sleeve 20 is then welded into said hole to receive a suitable nozzle 4.
- Figure 2 illustrates a second embodiment, with another model of generator set.
- the nozzle 4 can be arranged in a flat vertical portion of the motor manifold, and the angle ⁇ of the axis of the hole with the vertical can then be 90 °.
- the angle ⁇ of the axis of the hole with the vertical can then be 90 °.
- Carto injection the hourly water mass to be injected for the required MaxNox value and for each power
- Figure 4 shows schematically the measurement conditions. Determination of the quantity of water to be injected:
- the amount of water to be injected is defined experimentally by factory calibration.
- the conditions of this calibration are called "map conditions”.
- the hourly flow rate of water injected into the engine denoted m injection carto is a function f of the power P and the level of Nox required:
- TM -injection carto fiP Ma c NqC) f is defined experimentally for a humidity HR carto and a temperature T carto ⁇
- Measurements are carried out in 100 kW increments between the nominal power of the motor and the motor power which leads to not injecting water because the production of Nox produced is less than MaxNox.
- an injection pump 112 is controlled and, for each engine power level measured by sensors 35, the analog control signal of the pump 112 and the water injection flow rate (measured by a flowmeter 106) are defined. ).
- Figure 7 shows a graph illustrating an example of mapping.
- the experimental curves allow to define a polynomial equation of degree 5 to model the link between the three parameters of the cartography.
- the control system thus knows, on the basis of the engine power, the other two parameters in real time.
- the man-machine interface implemented makes it possible to enter in expert mode the coefficients of the two polynomials.
- the cardboard injection flow rate resulting from the mapping is advantageously corrected for the water flow rate brought by the presence of moisture in the combustion air if HRi is not identical to HR carto .
- the flow rate is also advantageously corrected for the ambient air temperature ⁇ ⁇ if it differs from T carto .
- the control system can, if necessary, perform a correction of the mapping and refine the amount of water needed to inject.
- a hysteresis of 40 kW is added at the start of the pump, to avoid a beat of the pump around the power value corresponding to the beginning of injection.
- the injection is ordered by the control system if:
- the outlet temperature TOC of the air compressor 29 is greater than 135.degree.
- the reading of the electrical power is greater than the minimum value of injection of the curve of the cartography
- the depollution order is activated by the user
- a generator is a tool of security of electrical supply. We do not want the modification of this emergency production tool for environmental purposes may degrade the security of electricity supply.
- the device of the invention is designed to minimize the risk of loss of availability of the generator while ensuring its function to limit the production of NOx when it is put into operation.
- the quantity of water injected by the water meter is measured and compared with the exchange capacity of the bottle 107, calculated from the hardness of the water. mains water according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- CE capacity of exchange for a water of 1 ° f of the bottle expressed in liter. French degree
- the control system may sound an alarm when the total processed volume reaches Cp.
- a second level of security exists in that a real-time conductivity measurement verifies the conductivity of the water. If it is not correct (if C> 50 qS / cm), the injection of water is stopped by the control system (sending treated water to the sewer).
- a first solenoid valve 102 (solenoid valve normally closed at rest and acting in all or nothing) passively closes the water supply in case of power failure or on request of the control system, ensuring the shutdown. water injection as quickly as possible.
- this two-way motorized valve 110 Downstream of this first electro valve 102, there is provided a two-way motorized valve 110 with cam position sensor that informs the state of the valve position (passing or not), this two-way valve 110 redundant the function of the first solenoid valve 102. It also allows a gradual closure of the network avoiding water hammers.
- This two-way valve 110 is closely followed in series by a three-way valve 111 with a cam position sensor which indicates either the state to purge 150 or to the engine. By default, the position of this valve 111 is always oriented towards the purge position.
- this three-way valve 111 ensures the emptying of the non-compliant water contained in the pipes to the sewers in case of malfunction of the treatment bottle 107. It also purges the pipes when the generator is stopped.
- the solenoid valves are closed and to ensure that there is no filling in the cylinders 34, the three-way valve 111 is closed on the engine side and open on the evacuation side 150.
- the positions of the two-way valves 110 and three channels 111 are monitored and if there is any discrepancy of position, the injection is stopped by the control system and an alarm is triggered.
- a final solenoid valve can be activated only by order of the control system (analog signal greater than 0.1V).
- an autonomous block ensures the continuity of operation of the control system. In the event of a voltage drop, the valves are closed by the control system and a "Nox Not Compliant" alarm is issued.
- any of the analog probes are not working properly such as MAT, MAP, TOC, HR, P, C, Po, a nonconformity alarm can be issued and any injection stopped.
- the device of the invention comprises a pressure reducer 101 disposed just behind the water inlet. It is ensured that the water pressure of the network Po after the pressure reducer 101 is preferably in the following range:
- a nozzle having a calibrated orifice whose flow is capped is preferably chosen, even in case of overpressure upstream of the nozzle, in order to avoid any risk of accumulation of water in the engine.
- the water injection is performed with a positive displacement pump 112, so that at low flow, it is low pressure. As a result, the quality of the droplets produced can be degraded, with the size of the droplets that may no longer be guaranteed.
- control system may prohibit the injection of water if the TOC is less than 120 ° C, preferably less than 135 ° C.
- MAT temperature temperature at the intake manifold:
- the challenge is to calculate the temperature of the dew point Td 3 at the riskiest point, that is to say after cooling.
- the number of moles of water is then calculated and injected per hour without the addition of water, solely by the presence of water from the ambient atmosphere, using the ideal gas law and Dalton's law.
- N3 is the number of moles of water at point 3 per hour:
- N is computed ai, the number of moles of air, including its moisture absorbed by the motor per hour, calculated as:
- T n , M and A constants as a function of the temperature T 3 according to the values of the following table:
- Temperature control ensures that the MAT temperature is maintained above the dew point to prevent condensation.
- the measurement of the power P is performed by a current transformer at each phase and by a reference voltage measurement supplying a dedicated power converter. In this way, the power measurement is independent of the motor.
- This strategy in which one does not connect to the power measurement means of the engine itself, eliminates a risk of wiring error that could be detrimental to the safety function of the generator itself. Design of the initiation ramp:
- the device comprises an injection manifold 1 visible in FIG. 3.
- This injection manifold 1 comprises a water collecting tube 2 provided with a plurality of connectors for connecting said tube 2 to spray nozzles 4, via suitable flexible tubes.
- Each nozzle 4 is supported by a nozzle holder 3, which is fixed in the sleeve 20 assembled in the engine part 10, here a bend.
- the injection manifold 1 is advantageously designed with a water inlet from above to avoid any risk of injection by gravity of the water present in the injection manifold, in case of anomaly.
- Hysteresis around the power curve, formed of a dead band at +/- 40 kW, is preferably provided to prevent rapid start / stop of the injection pump 112 around the injection start point.
- crankcase de-oiling system 30 is associated with the device of the invention. Indeed, it has been found a significant presence of water in the housing when using the device of the invention, given the fact that the piston / cylinder connection is never completely hermetic. Priority management of emergency stops:
- generator set shutdown device and generator set off.
- check hydro A sequence of opening and closing the water valves, called “check hydro”, is preferably performed at regular intervals (for example every month), so as to:
- the so-called "cooling time” generator shutdown delay is set so that the shutdown lasts for 3 minutes, so as to evacuate the humid air and avoid any condensation of water. Obtained result :
- Figure 8 illustrates an example obtained with a Caterpillar 3516 BHD engine for an MAxNox value of 1700 mg / Nm3.
- the device of the invention makes it possible to remain below the limit value of 1700 mg / Nm3.
