Definitions
- the invention relates to a compressed air generating device, with a control and regulating device, with an electric motor that can be controlled and regulated by the control and regulating device, with at least one air compressor that can be driven by the electric motor, with an air inlet via which ambient air can be sucked into the at least one air compressor, with at least one air cooler, which is connected to the output of the at least one air compressor, with at least one air dryer, which is connected to the output of the at least one air cooler, with a coolant inlet opening through which the at least one air cooler and other components of the compressed air generating device receive a liquid coolant can be supplied, with a coolant outlet opening, via which heated coolant can be removed from the compressed air generating device, and with at least one temperature sensor, which is connected to the control and regulating device via a data or sensor line.
- the invention also relates to a method for operating such a compressed air generating device.
- An intercooler is arranged in the connecting line between the two compression stages and serves to cool the air heated during compression in the first compression stage.
- the pressure of the compressed air in the connecting line drops.
- the intercooler can therefore increase the efficiency of the second compression stage.
- further devices for processing the air used can be arranged before or after the first compression stage, such as further cooling devices or air drying devices.
- One disadvantage is that the compressor described is designed as a reciprocating piston compressor, which disadvantageously requires a lubricant.
- the design of the cooling system is not described further.
- a system for generating dry compressed air which has a cooled compressor for sucking in and compressing ambient air.
- the compressor is followed by a cooler in the direction of flow of the compressed air, which serves to cool the compressed air generated.
- the cooling effect of the cooler is achieved by means of a fan and water droplets directed onto the surface of the cooler, which evaporate there and thereby remove heat from the cooler and indirectly from the compressed air.
- the cooler is followed by an air dryer which contains a desiccant that removes moisture from the compressed air and thereby lowers the dew point of this compressed air.
- the compressed air dried in this way has an air humidity of less than 35% at the outlet of the air dryer, which should be sufficient to protect devices subsequently supplied with this compressed air from corrosion or freezing due to the formation of water ice.
- a compressor system for generating dry compressed air in which an air-cooled radiator is used to cool the compressed air generated by a compressor.
- a water separator downstream of the radiator by means of which water droplets can be removed from the compressed air, which are formed by condensation when the compressed air cools down. Since the compressed air is not yet sufficiently dry to be able to avoid freezing at low temperatures when used in pressure medium consumers, the water separator is followed by an air dryer in which the compressed air is further dried.
- a compressed air generating device which has an electric motor which has two can drive air compressors arranged in series.
- ambient air is sucked in and compressed using the first air compressor.
- the pre-compressed compressed air is fed to the second air compressor via a check valve, an intercooler and a switching valve.
- the pre-compressed compressed air is further compressed and then passed on to compressed air consumers via an aftercooler or another switching valve.
- the intercooler and the aftercooler are cooled using a liquid coolant and are used to cool the compressed air generated by the air compressors.
- the liquid coolant comes, for example, from a cooling circuit of a vehicle and in the compressed air generating device first supplies a cooling device of the electric motor, then the intercooler and then a cooling device of the first air compressor. From there, the coolant goes to the aftercooler and then to a cooling device of the second air compressor before the coolant is returned to the vehicle's cooling circuit.
- An air dryer is neither shown nor described in this compressed air generating device.
- a water-cooled and oil two-stage air compressor is known from US 2010/0 303 658 A1, which has a water-cooled intercooler which is arranged between a first air compressor and a second air compressor in terms of air flow.
- the air compressed by the first air compressor is cooled by the intercooler, and the air compressed by the second air compressor is cooled by an aftercooler whose cooling water inlet is hydraulically connected to the cooling water outlet of the intercooler.
- a compressed air supply system for locomotives and a method for operating the same in which the air sucked in and compressed by a compressor is cooled in an air cooler and then fed to a first compressed air storage. From this first compressed air reservoir, the compressed air travels via a check valve that closes in the return flow direction to a prefilter which has a drainage valve. After separating liquid and aerosolized water from the compressed air in the pre-filter, the compressed air goes to an air dryer.
- a temperature sensor arranged at the air flow inlet of the air dryer or in its immediate vicinity is via a Sensor cable connected to a control unit. The temperature sensor can measure the actual temperature of the compressed air flowing into the air dryer and make this measured value available to the control unit.
- the controller can calculate an appropriate purge cycle time for the drain valve based on the saturation partial pressure of water vapor at the measured actual temperature of the compressed air and control its operation to remove the water accumulated in the pre-filter.
- the desiccant of the air dryer of such generic compressed air generating devices must also be repeatedly freed from the moisture that has accumulated there, because if the moisture absorption capacity of its desiccant is saturated, it is no longer able to work in accordance with the task.
- the dry compressed air absorbs moisture from the desiccant of the air dryer and transports it outside into the environment of the compressed air generating device.
- the object of the invention is to present a compressed air generating device with a compressor, a liquid cooling system and an air dryer, the consumption of dried compressed air for the regeneration of a desiccant of the air dryer is reduced in comparison to conventional generic compressed air generating devices.
- a method for operating such a compressed air generating device is to be presented.
- the invention initially relates to a compressed air generating device with a control and regulating device, with an electric motor that can be controlled and regulated by the control and regulating device, with at least one air compressor that can be driven by the electric motor, with an air inlet via which ambient air can be sucked into the at least one air compressor , with at least one air cooler, which is connected to the output of the at least one air compressor, with at least one air dryer, which is connected to the output of the at least one air cooler, with a coolant inlet opening through which the at least one air cooler and other components of the compressed air generating device receive a liquid Coolant can be supplied, with a coolant outlet opening, via which heated coolant can be removed from the compressed air generating device, and with at least one temperature sensor, which is connected to the control and regulating device via a data or sensor line.
- this compressed air generating device also provides that the temperature sensor for measuring the coolant temperature is arranged in front of the coolant inlet or behind the coolant outlet of the air cooler, which is arranged as the last air cooler in front of the air dryer in the direction of flow of the compressed air.
- the invention is based on the first finding that the compressed air transports a certain amount of water as air humidity after leaving the last air cooler and before reaching the air dryer, depending on its temperature. So if the temperature of the compressed air after leaving the last air cooler before reaching the air dryer is known, it can be calculated how much Water that compressed air carries with it as atmospheric moisture. If the volume flow of compressed air in the previous compressed air generation operation and the absorption capacity of the desiccant in the air dryer are known, it can be calculated how large a regeneration compressed air volume must be in order to dry the desiccant with dry regeneration compressed air during a break in compressed air generation in a regeneration operation.
- the temperature sensor for measuring the coolant temperature is arranged in front of the coolant inlet opening of the compressed air generating device. This allows the measured values of a temperature sensor to be used, which is located outside the installation space of the compressed air generating device. If the liquid cooling system of such a compressed air generating device also uses a vehicle cooling system with a temperature sensor that is already present on the vehicle, no further temperature sensor has to be arranged for the compressed air generating device in order to save space and costs.
- the temperature sensor mentioned is integrated in the installation space of the compressed air generating device, it can be provided that it is arranged directly in front of the coolant inlet of the air cooler, which is arranged as the last air cooler in front of the air dryer in the flow direction of the compressed air.
- the temperature sensor for measuring the coolant temperature is arranged behind the coolant outlet of the air cooler as the next component, which is arranged as the last air cooler in front of the air dryer in the flow direction of the compressed air. By comparing the coolant temperatures before and after this last air cooler, it can be determined how much heat is removed from the compressed air flow at this air cooler. This knowledge can be used to regulate a coolant pump with regard to its pumping performance.
- a second finding is that if the compressed air is particularly cold when it enters the air dryer, it contains comparatively little water in the form of carries humidity with it. If it is possible to cool the compressed air as much as possible before it reaches the air dryer, then relatively little water will be introduced into the drying agent of the air dryer. As a direct result of this, during a break in the compressed air generation operation during a regeneration operation, comparatively little regeneration compressed air volume is required to dry the desiccant of the air dryer.
- the invention also provides that the air cooler, which is arranged as the last air cooler in front of the air dryer in the flow direction of the compressed air, is arranged in such a way that it can be flowed through first by the coolant when viewed in the flow direction of the coolant.
- the knowledge about the temperature of the compressed air after it leaves the air cooler that is arranged last in the compressed air flow before the air dryer is of great importance.
- the indirect determination of the temperature of the compressed air at the point mentioned is, as explained above, simpler and more cost-effective than measuring the compressed air temperature in the compressed air flow between the air cooler mentioned and the air dryer.
- the compressed air generating device can have the following: an electric motor, two air compressors that can be driven by the electric motor and act one after the other, an air inlet through which ambient air can be sucked in by means of the first air compressor, two air coolers for cooling the compressed air, which act as an intermediate cooler or as Aftercoolers are designed and arranged, the inlet of the intercooler being pneumatically connected to the outlet of the first air compressor, the outlet of the intercooler being pneumatically connected to the inlet of the second air compressor, the outlet of the second air compressor being pneumatically connected to the inlet of the aftercooler , and wherein the outlet of the aftercooler is pneumatically connected to the inlet of an air dryer, as well as a coolant inlet opening, via which a liquid coolant can be supplied to the intercooler and the aftercooler, and a coolant outlet opening, via which heated coolant can be removed.
- the aftercooler is arranged in such a way that, viewed in the flow direction of the coolant, the coolant can flow through it first, and that at least one temperature sensor is present, which is used to measure the temperature of the coolant in the flow direction or is arranged behind the aftercooler.
- the two findings mentioned have been taken into account as design instructions, namely firstly the arrangement of a temperature sensor for measuring the coolant temperature in front of or behind the air cooler, here the aftercooler, which is arranged last in the compressed air flow in front of the air dryer.
- the liquid coolant first reaches the aftercooler mentioned and, as far as the cooling system permits, cools the compressed air there as much as possible before it reaches the air dryer.
- an aftercooler is first flowed through by the still comparatively cold liquid coolant, which is arranged directly in front of the air dryer when viewed in the flow direction of the compressed air. This cools the compressed air as much as possible, so that some of the humidity contained in this compressed air precipitates in the form of small drops of water before it reaches the air dryer. This water is then removed from the compressed air, for example by a water separator in the aftercooler, before it reaches the air dryer.
- a small amount of condensed water droplets can be carried along by the comparatively strongly cooled compressed air via a short compressed air line to the air dryer, in whose inlet collection area these water droplets collect and are removed during the next regeneration process with the regeneration compressed air flowing out of the air dryer. If there is no water separator, all the water droplets that condense in front of the air dryer are carried along to the collection area on the inlet side of the air dryer. Because this means that a comparatively large amount of moisture has been removed from the compressed air before the air dryer reaches the drying agent, the air dryer is then required less to dry the compressed air. As a result, a regeneration process on the air dryer that consumes dried compressed air is required less frequently be carried out or a smaller amount of compressed air is required for each regeneration process, which protects the supply of stored dry compressed air.
- the electric motor an inverter influencing the operation of the electric motor, the two air compressors, the intercooler, the aftercooler, the air dryer, a multi-circuit protection valve, which connects the output of the air dryer with at least one external compressed air storage and external compressed air consumers pneumatically connects, and a silencer interacts but is arranged separately in relation to each other.
- the electric motor, an inverter influencing the operation of the electric motor, the two air compressors, the intercooler, the aftercooler, the air dryer, a multi-circuit protection valve which pneumatically connects the output of the air dryer to at least one external compressed air storage and external compressed air consumers, and a silencer are arranged in or on a common housing.
- the device components mentioned are connected to one another in a suitable manner via the electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic connecting lines mentioned and possibly arranged in the housing.
- the compressed air generating device is extremely compact, easy to assemble during production and easy to attach to a motor vehicle, for example a commercial vehicle.
- a control and regulating device is additionally arranged separately in or on the housing of the compressed air generating device, that the control and regulating device is connected to the inverter for controlling the electric motor via a first control line, that the control and control device is connected via a second control line to a 3/2-way solenoid switching valve, which at least indirectly pneumatically connects the compressed air storage and the air dryer for opening or closing Regeneration line is used, and that the control and regulating device is connected to the multi-circuit protection valve via a sensor line.
- the compressed air generating device is constructed from four modules, which, together with the associated pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical lines, are arranged in or on the common housing are.
- the electric motor, the inverter, the two air compressors and the control and regulation device are arranged in a compressor module.
- a compressed air cooling module has the intercooler and the aftercooler, and the air dryer and the multi-circuit protection valve are arranged in a dryer module.
- a silencer module contains a silencer, this silencer containing a sound-absorbing material.
- the sound-absorbing material is designed in such a way that it can also absorb water droplets separated by the air dryer and, like splash water introduced into the silencer, can direct it to a water outlet of the silencer module.
- at least one regeneration air outlet opening is designed in the silencer module for discharging regeneration compressed air into the environment. In certain applications, the integration of this silencer module can be dispensed with.
- the compressed air generating device with the features of the invention can be constructed in detail in such a way that an outlet of the air dryer is connected via a first check valve closing in the direction of the air dryer by means of a fifth compressed air line, that this fifth compressed air line via the mentioned multi-circuit protection valve to the at least one compressed air reservoir and to compressed air consumers that a regeneration compressed air inlet of the air dryer is connected to the output of a 3/2-way solenoid switching valve via a second check valve opening towards the regeneration compressed air inlet, an orifice and a first line branch, that the input of this 3/2-way -Magnetic switching valve is connected to the fifth compressed air line via a regeneration compressed air line, so that when the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve is actuated, dry compressed air can be supplied as regeneration compressed air to the air dryer via this 3/2-way solenoid switching valve, the first line branch, the orifice and the first check valve , and that when the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve is actuated, regeneration compressed air can be fed
- a regeneration process on the air dryer is therefore initiated by the control and regulation device and is largely controlled using the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve.
- dry regeneration compressed air is directed to the air dryer, and at the same time a control pressure is fed to a control pressure input of the pneumatic 2/2-way switching valve to open a regeneration air outlet of the air dryer.
- This control pressure is generated by a small portion of the regeneration compressed air, which comes from the compressed air storage and is also directed into the air dryer for drying the desiccant there.
- the pressure-controlled 2/2-way switching valve is also assigned to the collecting area of the air dryer, the pneumatic control input of which is connected to the output of the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve via a second line branch.
- the 2/2-way switching valve is designed in such a way that it is closed in the unactuated state.
- the 2/2-way switching valve is also can be switched from its closed position to its open position by means of regeneration compressed air supplied to the air dryer and via the second line branch.
- dry regeneration compressed air can be passed through the desiccant of the air dryer in a regeneration compressed air stream. After flowing through the drying agent, the regeneration compressed air can be directed into the collecting area of the air dryer and can entrain any condensed water that has accumulated there and remove it from it via at least one regeneration air outlet on the air dryer.
- the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve there are two 2/2-way solenoid switching valves that can be controlled by the control and regulating device, with the first 2/2-way solenoid switching valve being in front of the orifice in the direction of flow of regeneration compressed air is arranged in the first line branch, with the second 2/2-way solenoid switching valve being arranged in front of the pressure-controlled 2/2-way switching valve in the second line branch, and with the fifth compressed air line in the flow direction of regeneration compressed air in front of the two 2/2-way Directional solenoid switching valves are connected directly to the first line branch and directly to the second line branch.
- the compressed air generating device has an ambient temperature sensor with which the ambient temperature can be measured.
- This ambient temperature sensor is also connected to the control and regulation device via a data or sensor line. Determining and taking into account the ambient air temperature is advantageous because the moisture content of the ambient air that can be sucked in by the compressed air generating device depends on the air temperature. At a low air temperature, its water content can be lower than at a higher temperature. It should also be taken into account that the ambient air temperature influences the temperature of the compressed air reservoir and the compressed air stored therein from which a regeneration compressed air volume is taken during regeneration operation. As a result, the ambient temperature also influences the moisture absorption capacity of the regeneration compressed air as it flows through the desiccant of the air dryer.
- the data or sensor lines mentioned here can be CAN bus lines.
- the invention also relates to a method for operating a compressed air generating device with the features of at least one of the device claims and the above device description.
- compressed air is cooled in at least one air cooler by means of the at least one air compressor.
- the cooled compressed air is then fed to an air dryer and dried there in order to then be directed to compressed air consumers and/or at least one compressed air storage.
- dry compressed air to the extent of the necessary regeneration compressed air volume is passed through the desiccant and then discharged into the environment.
- the regeneration compressed air volume required for the regeneration of the desiccant is calculated at least as a function of the temperature that the coolant has before and/or after it flows through the air cooler that is arranged as the last air cooler in front of the air dryer, and that this is then done in such a way A certain regeneration compressed air volume of dry compressed air is passed through the air dryer.
- the procedure presented here has the advantage that no additional temperature sensor is necessary to obtain information about what temperature the compressed air has before it reaches the air dryer and what water content in the form of air humidity this compressed air carries with it.
- the coolant temperature is measured after leaving its radiator by means of a temperature sensor and its measured values are made available in the motor vehicle for a variety of purposes, for example via a CAN data bus. Knowing the temperature of the coolant directly after leaving the vehicle radiator or immediately before the air cooler mentioned, the temperature of the compressed air after leaving this air cooler can be inferred indirectly without requiring a separate temperature sensor.
- the operation of the compressed air generating device and in particular the supply of the coolant are then regulated so that the cooling effect of the last air cooler before the air dryer is maximum.
- the compressed air in front of the air dryer is cooled to the maximum, so that the compressed air only contains comparatively little moisture that puts a strain on the air dryer.
- the desiccant of the air dryer must be regenerated less frequently or with less regeneration compressed air volume.
- the coolant temperature is measured in front of the coolant inlet opening of the compressed air generating device by means of a first temperature sensor, and that the regeneration compressed air volume required for drying the desiccant in the air dryer is controlled and/or regulated by the air dryer as a function of the measured coolant temperature is directed.
- the coolant temperature is measured directly in front of the coolant inlet of the air cooler, which is arranged as the last air cooler in front of the air dryer in the flow direction of the compressed air, by means of a second temperature sensor, and that the volume of regeneration compressed air required for drying the desiccant in the air dryer in each case Depending on the measured coolant temperature, it is controlled and / or regulated through the air dryer.
- the coolant temperature behind the coolant outlet of that air cooler is measured by means of a third temperature sensor which is arranged as the last air cooler in front of the air dryer in the direction of flow of the compressed air, and that the regeneration compressed air volume required for drying the desiccant in the air dryer is passed through the air dryer in a controlled and / or regulated manner depending on the measured coolant temperature.
- Another possibility for determining an optimally sufficient volume of regeneration compressed air for drying the desiccant of the air dryer provides that the temperature of an inverter used to control and regulate the electric motor is measured and that the measured temperature of the inverter is used to calculate the coolant temperature in the air cooler which is arranged as the last air cooler in front of the air dryer in the direction of flow of the compressed air, and that the regeneration compressed air volume required for drying the desiccant in the air dryer is passed through the air dryer in a controlled and / or regulated manner depending on the coolant temperature determined in this way.
- the temperature of its electronics can be used as the temperature of the inverter.
- the arrangement of a temperature sensor in the area of the coolant lines and/or the air cooler mentioned can be dispensed with in a cost-saving manner.
- the following method steps can be provided: a) sucking in ambient air by means of the first air compressor, b) pre-compressing the sucked-in ambient air in the first air compressor to a first air pressure value, c) cooling an intercooler with a liquid coolant, d) Cooling the pre-compressed compressed air in the intercooler, e) further compressing the compressed air to a second, higher pressure value by means of a second air compressor, f) cooling an aftercooler with the liquid coolant, the aftercooler being the first air cooler from the coolant hydraulically, viewed in the flow direction of the coolant is achieved, g) cooling the compressed air further compressed in the second air compressor in the aftercooler, h) drying the cooled compressed air in an air dryer, i) forwarding the cooled and dried compressed air to compressed air consumers and/or to at least one compressed air storage.
- the compressed air that has left the second air compressor is cooled as it flows through the aftercooler to the extent that the freshly supplied liquid coolant allows.
- the liquid coolant is not first directed to a cooling device of the electric motor or to the intercooler in order to cool it during operation, as in the compressed air generating device according to DE 10 2039 139 424.6.
- the coolant is first directed to the aftercooler in order to cool it and, as a result, the compressed air as much as possible. This makes it possible according to the method to cool the compressed air generated so much before it reaches the air dryer that as much moisture as possible is separated and drained away from the compressed air.
- the following further process steps are provided in addition to the method mentioned: j) forwarding the liquid coolant from the aftercooler to the intercooler, k) forwarding the liquid coolant from the intercooler to a cooling device of the electric motor, l) forwarding the liquid coolant from the cooling device of the electric motor to a cooling device of the second air compressor, m) forwarding the liquid coolant from the cooling device of the second air compressor to a cooling device of the inverter, n) forwarding the liquid coolant from the cooling device of the inverter to a cooling device of the first air compressor, o) forwarding the liquid coolant from the cooling device of the first air compressor to an external cooling device.
- the regeneration of the drying agent of the air dryer is particularly important.
- the drying agent which has removed atmospheric moisture from the supplied compressed air in previous drying processes and has now greatly reduced its drying ability, is flowed through in the opposite direction by temporarily stored dry compressed air.
- the compressed air takes water from the desiccant and flows loaded with it out of the air dryer into the environment.
- the frequency with which such regeneration processes must be carried out and the volume of compressed air required for these regeneration processes influence the need for compressed air to be generated by the compressed air generating device when a vehicle is operating. Since during the cooling of the compressed air described above, water is already separated from the compressed air in the aftercooler, this reaches the entrance area as a film of water or as small droplets with the compressed air directed to the air dryer, from which it is discharged into the environment.
- the time interval between two regeneration processes for drying the desiccant of the air dryer is controlled and/or regulated depending on the temperature of the coolant which the coolant has at the outlet of the external cooling device or at the inlet of the aftercooler.
- the temperature of the coolant is decisive for how much water has already condensed out of the compressed air supplied to the aftercooler, a comparatively low coolant temperature causes a comparatively large separation of water from the compressed air already at the aftercooler, which is drained from there.
- the desiccant of the air dryer is less heavily loaded, so that the regeneration compressed air volume can be lower or, for example, the time interval between two regeneration processes can be greater than at a comparatively high coolant temperature.
- the ambient temperature of a vehicle must also be taken into account when carrying out regeneration processes of the type described, because the compressed air stored in a compressed air accumulator will overflow the wall of the vehicle after some time Compressed air storage indicates the ambient temperature. Since the compressed air stored in this compressed air storage is also used for the regeneration of the desiccant in the air dryer and the compressed air temperature determines the water storage capacity of the regeneration compressed air, knowledge of the ambient temperature is important for determining the necessary regeneration compressed air volume.
- the volume of regeneration compressed air required for drying the desiccant depends on the average Ambient temperature is controlled and/or regulated.
- the time interval between two regeneration processes for drying the desiccant of the air dryer is controlled and/or regulated as a function of the average ambient temperature.
- the average value of the ambient temperature can be determined over a predetermined period of time.
- the regeneration compressed air volume required for drying the desiccant or the duration and/or frequency of the regeneration processes in Depending on the difference between the ambient temperature and the coolant temperature is controlled and regulated.
- the compressed air generating device 2 has a closed but also openable housing 6, in which the components of the compressed air generating device 2 are combined into modules which are arranged one behind the other.
- the compressor 4 comprising an electric motor 24 including two drive shafts 30, 32, an inverter 26, a first air compressor 16, a second air compressor 18 and a control and regulating device 28, is arranged in a compressor module 90.
- a compressed air cooling module 92 is arranged in the housing 6, which has an intercooler 20 and an aftercooler 22.
- These two air coolers 20, 22 serve to cool the compressed air generated by the compressor 4.
- the two air coolers 20, 22 use a liquid coolant which is supplied by an external cooling device 82.
- this external cooling device 82 is a cooling device of a commercial vehicle with a suitable heat exchanger, not shown here.
- the amount of liquid coolant passed every second through the coolable components of the compressed air generating device 2 can be adjusted by means of a controllable coolant pump, which is controllably connected to the control and regulating device 28.
- the air dryer 40 contains a desiccant 41 with which atmospheric moisture can be removed from the compressed air supplied to the air dryer 40.
- the desiccant 41 can release this moisture back into dry air, namely when in one Regeneration process dry compressed air is passed through the air dryer 40 in the opposite direction.
- the multi-circuit protection valve 50 does not have to be part of the dryer module 94, but its arrangement in the common housing 6 is advantageous. By means of the multi-circuit protection valve 50, it is possible to selectively deliver compressed air released by the air dryer 40 to different compressed air consumers 51, 52 and/or to a compressed air storage 45.
- sixth compressed air line DL6 and seventh compressed air line DL7 leading to the compressed air consumers 51, 52 can also be connected to other compressed air storage units on the way there.
- at least one further compressed air consumer, not shown, can be connected to the compressed air storage 45 shown.
- the compressed air generating device 2 has a silencer module 96, which is designed as a silencer 43 which contains a sound-absorbing material 44. This sound-absorbing material 44 is able to dampen sound emissions that arise during a regeneration process when moisture-laden compressed air is released from the air dryer 40.
- the silencer module 96 has a plurality of regeneration air outlet openings, of which only one regeneration air outlet opening 34 is shown, through which exhaust air AL can be released into the environment.
- the silencer module 96 or the silencer 43 has at least one water outlet opening 36 at its deepest point, through which water droplets separated from the compressed air in the air dryer 40 during normal operation and/or splash water that has penetrated through the regeneration air outlet opening 34 is removed via a water separation path 80 that forms can be.
- the silencer module 96 or at least its silencer 43 can be easily replaced in or on the housing 6.
- the components of the four modules 90, 92, 94, 96 described are connected to the extent necessary via pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical lines, which will be discussed separately in the description of the method for operating the compressed air generating device 2.
- the functionality and interaction of the components of the compressed air generating device 2 are as follows:
- the operation of the compressor 4 is controlled and regulated by means of the control and regulating device 28 already mentioned.
- the control and regulating device 28 is connected via a low-voltage line 57 to a low-voltage source (not shown), to a data or sensor line 59 of a vehicle-specific data communication system, such as a CAN bus, and to at least one sensor line 54.
- the sensor line 54 leads to a sensor arranged on the inverter 26, for example a temperature sensor (not shown). This sensor is also supplied with an electrical voltage via the low-voltage line 57.
- the inverter 26, which influences the operation of the electric machine 24, is connected via a high-voltage line 58 to the electrical voltage source, not shown separately.
- the electric motor 24 of the compressor 4 To start and operate the electric motor 24 of the compressor 4, it is controlled in the desired manner by means of the control and regulating device 28 and the inverter 26. This causes the two drive shafts 30, 32 of the electric motor 24 to rotate.
- the first drive shaft 30 is connected to the first air compressor 16 and the second drive shaft 32 to the second air compressor 18 in a driving manner.
- the two air compressors 16, 18 are known spiral compressors.
- the first air compressor 16 is connected to the ambient air L on the input side via an air inlet opening 8 in the housing 6. When the first air compressor 16 is operating, it sucks in ambient air L and compresses it into compressed air with a first air pressure value.
- the first air compressor 16 is pneumatically connected on the output side via a first compressed air line DL1, the intercooler 20 and then via a second compressed air line DL2 to the inlet of the second air compressor 18.
- the intercooler 20 cools the precompressed compressed air, whereby water is condensed out and removed if necessary.
- the cooled compressed air is then further compressed to a desired second, higher air pressure value and then via a third compressed air line DL3 to the already mentioned aftercooler 22 supplied.
- the compressed air is further cooled in the aftercooler 22. Water condenses from the compressed air.
- the cooled and still residually moist compressed air reaches an inlet-side collecting area 49 of the air dryer 40 via a fourth compressed air line DL4.
- the already condensed water also reaches this collecting area 49 of the air dryer 40 in the form of entrained small droplets or as a film of water. From there, the water is excreted from the air dryer 40 via the regeneration air outlet 42 during a later regeneration process. As a result, the condensed water did not get into the drying agent 41 of the air dryer 40, as is also schematically illustrated in the only drawing figure with small droplets.
- the compressed air which has been partially dewatered in this way and is still still moist, arrives from the short fourth compressed air line DL4 into the drying agent 41 of the air dryer 40, flows through this drying agent 41 in a drying air stream 23 and is dried there.
- the desiccant 41 is able to remove atmospheric moisture from the supplied compressed air and release it back into dry air during a later regeneration process.
- the dried compressed air then leaves the air dryer 40 via a spring-loaded first check valve 29, which shuts off in the direction of the air dryer 40, and then enters a fifth compressed air line DL5.
- This fifth compressed air line DL5 leads to the multi-circuit protection valve 50, which is controlled at least indirectly by the control and regulating device 28.
- the multi-circuit protection valve 50 is connected to the control and regulating device 28 via a sensor line 56.
- the dried compressed air can be directed, for example, through the already mentioned sixth compressed air line DL6 and a compressed air outlet opening 10 in the housing 6 to the first compressed air consumer 51 and via the mentioned seventh compressed air line DL7 to the second compressed air consumer 52.
- the multi-circuit protection valve 50 can direct dried compressed air to the at least one compressed air reservoir 45 via an eighth compressed air line DL8.
- Other compressed air consumers and/or compressed air reservoirs (not shown) can also be supplied with compressed air if necessary via the compressed air storage 45.
- the compressed air stored in the compressed air storage 45 can If necessary, it can also be supplied to other compressed air consumers via the multi-circuit protection valve 50 or fed back into the fifth compressed air line DL5 for regeneration of the drying agent 41 of the air dryer 40.
- the compressed air generating device 2 has a regeneration line DL5a.
- This regeneration line DL5a is connected via the fifth compressed air line DL5 at least to the eighth compressed air line DL8 leading to the compressed air storage 45 and to the air dryer 40.
- a 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 is arranged in the regeneration line DL5a, which can be controlled by the control and regulation device 28 and is connected to it via a control line 55.
- the regeneration line DL5a is closed, so that no compressed air can reach the air dryer 40 from the compressed air reservoir 45 via the multi-circuit protection valve 50.
- the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 is actuated, as a result of which the regeneration line DL5a is opened.
- part of the dried compressed air from the compressed air reservoir 45 passes through a first line branch DL5b of the regeneration line DL5a to an aperture 75.
- the dried compressed air is expanded, whereby it takes up a larger volume.
- the compressed air then passes through a second spring-loaded check valve 76 and then reaches the air dryer 40 via a regeneration compressed air inlet 70.
- the relaxed compressed air then flows through the air dryer 40 and the drying agent 41 arranged there in a regeneration compressed air stream 77, provided that a pressure-controlled pressure-controlled 2/ 2-way switching valve 39 on the collecting area 49 of the air dryer 40 is open.
- a pressure-controlled pressure-controlled 2/ 2-way switching valve 39 on the collecting area 49 of the air dryer 40 is open.
- another part of the dried compressed air is passed behind the outlet of the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 through a second line branch DL5c to this pressure-controlled 2/2-way switching valve 39.
- the pressure-controlled 2/2-way switching valve 39 is constructed in such a way that in its unactuated switching position it closes a connection from the collecting area 49 of the air dryer 40 to a regeneration air outlet 42 of the air dryer 40 and opens it in the actuated switching state. Accordingly, the pressure-controlled 2/2-way switching valve 39 is opened when the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 has also been switched to its open position.
- the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 instead of the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72, there are two 2/2-way solenoid switching valves that can be controlled by the control and regulating device 28.
- These two 2/2-way solenoid switching valves are not shown in the drawing, but their arrangement can be easily understood by a person skilled in the art based on the following description.
- the first 2/2-way solenoid switching valve is arranged in the flow direction of the regeneration compressed air in front of the aperture 75 in the first line branch DL5b and the second 2/2-way solenoid switching valve is in front of the pressure-controlled 2/2-way switching valve 39 in the second line branch DL5c arranged.
- the fifth compressed air line DL5 is connected directly to the first line branch DL5b and directly to the second line branch DL5c in the direction of flow of regeneration compressed air in front of the two 2/2-way solenoid switching valves.
- the collecting area 49 of the air dryer 40 can pass through the aftercooler 22 supplied compressed air can advantageously be freed from water W that has accumulated there.
- the 2/2-way switching valve 39 is open under pressure control, the relaxed compressed air flows through the drying agent 41 in the mentioned regeneration compressed air stream 77 in the direction of the silencer 43. Moisture is removed from the drying agent 41.
- the compressed air enriched with moisture in this way as well as the water that has already condensed and accumulated in the collecting area 49 of the air dryer 40 then leaves the air dryer 40 via its regeneration air outlet 42 and thus reaches the silencer 43.
- the moist exhaust air AL then flows through the sound-absorbing material 44 arranged in the silencer 43 via an exhaust air path 78 to the at least one regeneration air outlet opening 34 of the silencer 43 of the compressed air generating device 2.
- the water outlet opening 36 of the silencer 43 but also serves to remove any splash water that may have penetrated into the silencer 43 via the at least one regeneration air outlet opening 34.
- the regeneration process is ended when a predetermined, sufficiently large volume of regeneration compressed air has flowed through the drying agent 41 of the air dryer 40 in order to be able to use it for a further air drying phase.
- the flow path of the liquid coolant supplied by the external cooling device 82 is of great importance for the structure of the compressed air generating device 2 according to the invention.
- This coolant is cooled to a predetermined temperature in the external cooling device 82 and supplied to the compressed air generating device 2 via a coolant supply line Kin.
- the cooling activity of the external cooling device 82 is controlled and regulated with a control and regulating device 28.
- the current actual temperature of the coolant is measured with a first temperature sensor 73 at the output of the cooling device 82, and the coolant temperature is then regulated to a predetermined target value of the coolant temperature.
- the first temperature sensor 73 is connected to the control and regulating device 28 via the data and/or sensor line 59 of the CAN bus.
- the coolant passes from the external cooling device 82 through a coolant inlet opening 12 into the compressed air generating device 2 and into the compressed air cooling module 92.
- the coolant then flows through a first coolant line KL1 into the aftercooler 22 in order to cool the compressed air generated by the compressor 4 as much as possible . Since the coolant is first passed into the aftercooler 22, the lowest temperature of the coolant that it has within the compressed air generating device 2 can be used. As a result, the compressed air is cooled comparatively strongly before it enters the air dryer 40, as a result of which some of the air moisture carried condenses out and is at least partially separated in the aftercooler 22.
- the condensed water is also passed into the collecting area 49 of the air dryer 40 and from there discharged into the environment directly or via the silencer 43. This process removes a lot of moisture from the compressed air before it reaches the air dryer 40. This is all the more the lower the temperature of the coolant.
- the desiccant 41 of the air dryer 40 needs to be dried less frequently in regeneration operations compared to conventional compressed air generating devices, or such regeneration operations may be performed with a smaller volume of regeneration compressed air than usual.
- more of the dry compressed air stored in the compressed air storage 45 is available for the compressed air consumers 51, 52, so that the electric motor 24 of the compressor 4 of the compressed air generating device 2 has to be in operation less frequently.
- the consumption of electrical energy is reduced, which reduces the vehicle's exhaust emissions and thus its CC emissions.
- the frequency of the regeneration processes or the respectively required regeneration compressed air volume can therefore be smaller, the lower the temperature of the coolant at the inlet of the aftercooler 22. It is therefore advantageous if the regulation of the frequency of actuation and/or the regulation of the duration of actuation of the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 by means of the control and regulating device 28 also takes place as a function of the temperature of the coolant.
- a first temperature sensor 73 is arranged in the area of the outlet of the external cooling device 82 or in the area of the coolant inlet opening 12, by means of which the temperature of the liquid coolant can be measured.
- such a temperature sensor 73 is already a component of the cooling device 82.
- the temperature measurements obtained in this way can be routed to the control and regulating device 28 via the data and/or sensor line 59 mentioned.
- the control and regulating device 28 then controls and regulates the regeneration of the drying agent 41 of the air dryer 40, taking into account the current coolant temperature, directly via the frequency of actuation and/or the duration of actuation of the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 and indirectly by means of the pressure-controlled 2/2 - Directional switching valve 39.
- the temperature of the coolant can also be measured at the coolant inlet of the aftercooler 22 by means of a second temperature sensor 73 'and/or at the coolant outlet of the aftercooler 22 by means of a third temperature sensor 73", which is also via the data and/or sensor line 59 are connected to the control and regulating device 28.
- the data and/or sensor line 59 which is connected to the respective temperature sensor 73′, 73′′, can also be arranged completely within the compressed air generating device 2, other than as shown in the single figure.
- the temperature of the coolant can fluctuate during operation of the compressed air generating device 2. This can be caused by different load conditions of the vehicle and its systems and/or by rapidly changing ambient temperatures. Since for the control of the external cooling device 82 mentioned, the current temperature of the coolant is measured with the first temperature sensor 73 in most vehicles anyway is, their current value is available to the control and regulating device 28 via the already mentioned data and / or sensor line 59 of the CAN bus. Based on the current value of the temperature of the coolant, the control and regulating device 28 can therefore quickly control and regulate the duration of operation of the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 and thus the frequency and duration of a regeneration process on the dryer 40 depending on the temperature at any time.
- the ambient temperature of the vehicle is also measured by means of an ambient temperature sensor 74 and displayed with a display element, the ambient temperature also represents the control and regulation of the operating time of the 3/2-way solenoid switching valve 72 and thus for controlling and regulating the frequency and duration of a regeneration process on the air dryer 40 to the control and regulating device 28 via the data and / or sensor line 59 of the CAN bus.
- the ambient temperature of the vehicle is also of particular importance for the control and regulation of the regeneration processes, since the compressed air, after it has been dried in the dryer 40, continues to cool down to the temperature of the compressed air tank 45 or the compressed air consumers 51, 52, which are generally the ambient temperature exhibit. During this further cooling process, the relative humidity in the compressed air increases again. To ensure that excessive air humidity does not lead to corrosion processes in the compressed air storage tanks and compressed air consumers when ambient temperatures are low in relation to the coolant temperature, or even water condenses out and freezes into ice, the degree of drying of the compressed air must ideally also take the current ambient temperature into account.
- This degree of drying can be adjusted via the regeneration compressed air volume used in a regeneration process and/or via the frequency of the regeneration processes in a period under consideration. If, for example, a volume of regeneration compressed air that is actually too large is used during a regeneration process, the drying agent 41 becomes drier than is required according to previously known practice. During a subsequent conveying process, the compressed air passed through the air dryer 40 increases Lose moisture than previously necessary, as a result of which the compressed air has a higher degree of drying when it leaves the air dryer 40. When the compressed air then cools down further in a compressed air container or in a compressed air consumer, the degree of drying of the compressed air is then advantageously uncritically high, so that condensation and possibly ice formation do not occur there.
- the regeneration compressed air volume and/or the frequency of the regeneration processes is controlled and regulated by means of the control and regulating device 28 at a constant ambient temperature depending on the temperature of the coolant, and at a constant temperature of the coolant depending on the ambient temperature. If both the ambient temperature and the coolant temperature change, the duration and/or frequency of the regeneration processes is controlled and regulated depending on the difference between the two temperatures mentioned.
- the volume of regeneration compressed air required for a regeneration process must also cover the most unfavorable case, i.e. the highest coolant temperature to be expected during operation of the compressed air generating device 2. As a result, such a regeneration process for the drying agent 41 would always take place with a previously determined maximum regeneration compressed air volume.
- the liquid coolant After the liquid coolant has flowed through the aftercooler 22, it reaches the intercooler 20 mentioned via a second coolant line KL2. There it cools the compressed air precompressed by the first air compressor 16. After cooling the pre-compressed compressed air in the intercooler 20, the liquid coolant is conducted via a third coolant line KL3 to a cooling device 25 of the electric motor 24. There the coolant cools, for example, the stator of the electric motor 24.
- the coolant then flows through a fourth coolant line KL4 to a cooling device 48 of the second air compressor 18 of the compressor 4, which is thereby cooled during its compression activity.
- the coolant then flows through a fifth coolant line KL5 to a cooling device 27 of the inverter 26 in order to cool it.
- the coolant is then fed through a sixth coolant line.
- Device KL6 is routed to a cooling device 46 of the first air compressor 16 of the compressor 4 in order to cool this too.
- the heated coolant is passed through a coolant outlet opening 14 from the compressor module 90 and from the housing 6 of the compressed air generating device 2 via a coolant discharge line Kout to the external cooling device 82.
- a compressed air generating device 2 designed according to the invention is installed in a truck and, to cool the said liquid coolant, it uses the cooling system, which also cools the internal combustion engine of the truck.
- the cooling system which also cools the internal combustion engine of the truck.
- temperatures at which water ice can form can also be accepted at the aftercooler 22 and at the inlet of the air dryer 40. Since the warm-up phase is comparatively short, in the normal operating phase that follows, any water ice formed on the aftercooler 22 and at the inlet of the air dryer 40 will evaporate and be absorbed into the compressed air as atmospheric moisture.
