- Figure 1 is a sectional view of part of an aircraft according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 shows the part in a section along the line A-A in Fig. 1;
- Figure 4 is a partial perspective view of the aircraft.
- FIG. 5 shows a section through a water ab separating duct of an aircraft according to a further embodiment of the present invention.
- FIGS. 1, 2 show a part of this aircraft in a longitudinal section (FIG. 1) or a section perpendicular thereto (FIG. 2).
- the aircraft 5 has several similarly constructed drive systems 1, each with a flight drive in the form of a turbofan engine, which is fastened to a (own) engine pylon 4 in each case.
- the structure and mode of operation of the drive systems 1 and their arrangement on the respective wing are, at least essentially, identical, so that only one of these drive systems is described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 2.
- the or each of the propulsion system(s) has a downstream steam generator 30, a condenser (heat exchanger) 32 and a water recovery device with a water separating channel 200 for its flight propulsion.
- the exhaust gas from a gas turbine of the turbofan engine flows through the steam generator 30 arranged downstream, where energy is extracted from it for generating superheated steam, which is fed back into the process. It then flows through the condenser heat exchanger 32. Ambient air flows through this condenser on the cold side.
- the exhaust gas then enters the water recovery device, where condensed water is separated from the rest of the exhaust gas flow.
- the water can be treated and supplied to the steam generator by condensate or feed water pump(s) 49a, 49b. This closes the water cycle.
- the steam is mixed with the compressed air in the area of a combustion chamber 16 of the gas turbine.
- the drive system is connected to a wing 50 by a pylon 4 in each case.
- the turbomachine part 2 is attached to the pylon 4 .
- Shown is a front suspension 21 on a fan casing and a rear suspension 20 on a turbine outlet casing 19.
- the thrust is transmitted via shear rods 22 from the inlet casing 12 to the pylon and from there to the wing.
- the turbomachine part 2 is a 3-shaft machine.
- a fan 10 which is driven by a low-pressure turbine 18 via a gearbox 11, forms the first shaft together with the low-pressure turbine.
- a low-pressure compressor (not shown) could also be arranged on this shaft.
- the second shaft is arranged concentrically to the first. Its main components are a compressor 13 driven by a high-pressure turbine 17 .
- this shaft In contrast to a conventional engine, there is a third shaft that is not coaxial but arranged next to the core engine.
- the main components of this shaft are another compressor 14 driven by a steam turbine 15 .
- the arrangement of the last compressor 14 next to the core engine can be advantageous and also simple to implement, since no mechanical drive from one of the other two shafts is required because the drive is provided by the steam turbine 15 .
- the air conveyed by the fan 10 is further compressed in the compressors 13 , 14 .
- the compressed air is then mixed with the exhaust steam from the steam turbine 15 and fed to the combustion chamber 16 to a large extent.
- a part is also used to cool the combustion chamber and the turbine, in particular the high-pressure turbine 17 .
- heat is supplied to the working medium by the combustion of fuel.
- the turbines 17, 18, energy is extracted from the working gas. The power gained is primarily transmitted to the compressor 13 and the fan 10 .
- the steam generator 30 is arranged downstream of the turbomachine part or aircraft engine 2 .
- This comprises a feed water preheating section, an evaporation section (between feed water preheating and superheating section) and a superheating section.
- Each of the three ring-shaped heat exchanger modules shown in FIG. 1 has a preheating section, an evaporation section and a superheating section.
- one of the heat exchanger modules can also form a feedwater preheating section, another of the heat exchanger modules can form an evaporation section and another of the heat exchanger modules can form an overheating section.
- the steam generator is designed as a tube bundle heat exchanger in a cross-counterflow arrangement with several passages. It is housed rotationally symmetrically and concentrically to the engine axis or axis of rotation T of the flight engine within the core engine cowling 35 . In particular for better adaptation to the shape of the core engine cowling, the steam generator 30 can consist of several modules with different diameters. It is also attached to the pylon 4 with the suspension(s) 38 .
- a seal 23 is arranged between the turbomachine part or aircraft engine 2 and the steam generator or heat exchanger 30, which allows a certain relative movement of these assemblies to one another.
- the individual assemblies can be handled independently.
- the steam generator on the aircraft can remain when the turbomachinery part is removed from the wing for maintenance and vice versa.
- the condenser 32 After the exhaust gas has flowed radially through the steam generator 30, it is guided through ribs 31, which are arranged in the bypass channel 37, to the condenser 32, which consists of several modules.
- the condenser modules are designed as plate heat exchangers in a cross-flow arrangement and are placed concentrically to the engine axis T in the bypass duct 37, in the so-called C-ducts.
- the outer housing or panels 3 of the C-channels are pivotably mounted on the pylon 4 with hinge-like joints 49 .
- Fig. 2 the flow in the C-channel in this area is illustrated schematically on the left-hand side. On the right is only the outline of the C-channel in the unfolded state of its fairing.
- the capacitor modules 32 are arranged in the bypass duct 27 in such a way that on the cold side only part of the air conveyed by the fan 10 flows through the capacitor. The other part flows past it. Both streams are then brought together again and relaxed together in the bypass nozzle 36 to ambient pressure. In a modification that is not shown, all of the air from the bypass duct 37 is routed through the condenser 32 .
- Exhaust heat is transferred to the air as it flows through, causing its temperature to rise.
- the higher temperature results in a greater enthalpy gradient for the expansion in the bypass nozzle 36.
- the evaporation heat to be dissipated is not completely lost, but instead contributes to the increase in thrust.
- the exhaust gas cools down until the water it contains condenses at least partially and is in liquid form. Thereafter, the exhaust gas is guided through the fins 33 into a collection passage 34 running along the C-channel inner surface.
- the exhaust gas flows from the collecting duct 34 through the opening 41 in the pylon structural part 40. Downstream of the pylon opening 41 are provided within the pylon structural part 40 or Wasserab separating channel 200 from separating plates 42.
- the separating plates From the separating plates are flat components that are arranged in the direction of flow. Channels or grooves are provided at the ends of the plates, which collect and drain the liquid water that accumulates on the surface. Further downstream, the exhaust gas passes through an optional final turbine stage 43, lowering its temperature even further, causing even more water to condense. Another advantage of this arrangement is that the size and the pressure losses of the upstream heat exchangers 30, 32 can be reduced.
- the power of the turbine 43 is fed into a generator 44 .
- the turbine 43 can be designed in such a way that the outflowing exhaust gas has a swirl. As a result, water droplets are moved radially outwards. The water droplets then settle on the inner surface of the channel and on the surface of separating tubes 45.
- the channel and the separating pipes are equipped with gutters or grooves for collecting and discharging the water.
- the centrifuging out of the water droplets can be supported by a swirl generator (not shown).
- the separating plates 42, the inner surface of the pylon structure 40 and/or the separating pipes 45 can be made of water-attracting or hydrophilic materials or be coated with such materials. These components can also serve as precipitation electrodes for electrostatically assisted water separation or be set up as heat exchangers in a cooling circuit.
- the outer surface of the pylon and/or the nacelle can be designed as a condenser of the cooling system.
- the separated water is conducted by the condensate pump 49a through an optionally available water treatment into a water storage tank 48. From there, the water is fed to the steam generator 30 by means of the feed water pump 49b.
- the water storage tank can be arranged on the aircraft side.
- Auxiliary devices and devices for steam generation, cooling, water treatment and water storage such as condensate pump, feed water pump, filter, water tank, cooling compressor or the like are not shown in detail in the figures and can be placed directly on the flight engine.
- the space within the pylon casing 47 and/or within the outlet cone 39 can advantageously be used for this purpose.
- the propulsion system with aircraft propulsion, heat exchanger and water separation channel can be significantly heavier than a conventional system. Due to the attachment to the bracket 4, this higher weight can advantageously counteract the wing lift and thereby reduce the bending moment at the wing root. Due to the high specific output of the drive train, the turbomachine part can be realized lighter and/or more compact than a conventional drive, as a result of which the center of gravity can be closer to the wing. In addition, one or more of the (additional) components can be located below and/or partially behind the wing torsion center, thereby reducing the torsional moment. As a result, the wing structure weight can be reduced and the additional weight can be at least partially compensated for.
- FIG. 5 shows a section through a waste water separating channel 200 of an aircraft according to a further embodiment of the present invention, which corresponds to the embodiment explained above except for the differences explained below, so that reference is made to the previous description and only differences are explained below .
- the turbine stage 43 is replaced by a swirl generator 43'.
- the separating plates 42 and a part of the inner surface of the water separating channel 200 designed as a collecting electrode 210 for the electrostatically supported water separation are set up as parts of an electrostatic separating device 220 .
- the separating tubes 45 are set up as heat exchangers of a cooling circuit 130 with a condenser 120 .
- one or more of the elements 42, 43, 43', 44, 45, 130 and/or 220 can be omitted or combined in a different way than in FIGS. or the cooling circuit 130 can be set up with a different heat exchanger.
