Description

Instalación para el aprovechamiento de energía eólica utilizada en la generación de presión mediante medios mecánicos para la impulsión de agua marina hasta una planta desaladora por el método de ósmosis inversa y aprovechamiento de la salmuera para la producción de energía eléctrica.Installation for the use of energy wind power used to generate pressure by means of mechanics to drive sea water to a plant desalination plant by the reverse osmosis method and use of the brine for the production of electrical energy.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención, tal y como lo expresa el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una instalación para el aprovechamiento de energía eólica, utilizada en la generación de presión mediante medios mecánicos, para la impulsión de agua marina destinada a una planta desaladora por el método de ósmosis inversa y aprovechamiento de la salmuera para la producción de energía eléctrica, donde el logro de su objetivo es la utilización exclusiva de la fuerza del viento, sin necesidad de ningún consumo de energía eléctrica o cualquier otro tipo de energía contaminante. Es decir, que la generación de presión es obtenida exclusivamente por medios mecánicos a partir del aprovechamiento del impulso generado por la fuerza del viento sobre un aspa o hélice, conectada mediante un sistema de engranajes a un conjunto de poleas que, a su vez, se conecta a un mecanismo de transmisión hasta una caja de cambios que hace posible el movimiento de un eje de alta velocidad, produciendo la fuerza necesaria para obtener la presión requerida por las bombas de extracción de agua del mar y por las bombas de impulsión hasta la instalación de ósmosis inversa.

That is, the pressure generation is obtained exclusively by mechanical means from the taking advantage of the impulse generated by the force of the wind a blade or propeller, connected by a system of gears to a set of pulleys which, in turn, is connected to a transmission to a gearbox that makes possible the movement of a high speed shaft, producing the force necessary to obtain the pressure required by the extraction of water from the sea and by the impulsion pumps to the reverse osmosis facility. Later the brine from osmosis is used for energy production electrical. And all this is done, exclusively, with the single wind force.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Uno de los grandes problemas que tienen que abordar los poderes públicos, es el suministro de agua en cantidad y calidad suficiente, para garantizar el abastecimiento de la demanda de una población en constante crecimiento.One of the big problems they have to address public authorities, is the supply of water in quantity and sufficient quality, to guarantee the supply of the demand from a constantly growing population.

El tema resulta francamente apasionante desde el punto de vista técnico y ecológico. Efectivamente, una planta por el sistema de ósmosis inversa, parece en un principio, la forma convencional, y quizá menos costosa, para desalar agua marina y su posterior tratamiento para su potabilización para el consumo humano o su destino para el regadío. En este sentido, además del coste de la factura eléctrica de las desaladoras, fuentes técnicas apelan también a razones medioambientales, como es el envío de entre 1,6 y 5 toneladas de dióxido de carbono a la atmósfera.The subject is frankly exciting from the technical and ecological point of view. Indeed, one plant per The reverse osmosis system, seems at first, the way conventional, and perhaps less expensive, to desalinate seawater and its subsequent treatment for its purification for human consumption or its destination for irrigation. In this sense, in addition to the cost of the electricity bill of the desalination plants, technical sources appeal also for environmental reasons, such as shipping between 1.6 and 5 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Así pues, estamos ante un problema crucial que preocupa a todo el mundo y que está siendo debatido continuamente en todos los foros nacionales, sin que por el momento se pueda decir que hay acuerdo unánime de criterios.Thus, we are facing a crucial problem that worries everyone and that is continually being debated in all national forums, without currently being able to say that there is unanimous agreement on criteria.

Con la finalidad de aportar posibles soluciones a problemas tan importantes y de tanta repercusión para las generaciones futuras, está ideado, pensado y desarrollado, este novedoso sistema de "Instalación para el aprovechamiento de energía eólica utilizada en la generación de presión mediante medios mecánicos para la impulsión de agua marina hasta una planta desaladora por el método de ósmosis inversa y aprovechamiento de la salmuera para la producción de energía eléctrica", que trata de paliar los efectos negativos del coste energético y su grado de contaminación que genera su utilización en plantas desaladoras por el proceso de ósmosis inversa.In order to provide possible solutions to such important problems and of such repercussion for the future generations, is devised, thought and developed, this innovative system of "Installation for the use of wind energy used to generate pressure by means of mechanical means to drive seawater to a plant desalination plant by the reverse osmosis method and use of the brine for the production of electrical energy ", which deals with mitigate the negative effects of energy cost and its degree of pollution generated by its use in desalination plants by the reverse osmosis process.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

La invención cuenta con un aspa o hélice, conectada mediante los correspondientes engranajes a un sistema compuesto por un conjunto de poleas situado en posición vertical, el cual, a su vez, se conecta, en la parte inferior, a un mecanismo de transmisión, hasta una caja de cambios, que hace posible el movimiento de un eje de alta velocidad, situado en plano horizontal, que genera la presión necesaria para impulsar la potencia requerida por la bombas de extracción de agua del mar y por las bombas de impulsión hasta la instalación convencional de ósmosis inversa. Todo el sistema de transmisión de energía es accionado, única y exclusivamente, mediante el movimiento de las aspas ó hélices, que son impulsadas por la fuerza del viento.The invention has a blade or propeller, connected by means of the corresponding gears to a system composed of a set of pulleys located in a vertical position, which, in turn, is connected, at the bottom, to a mechanism transmission, up to a gearbox, which makes it possible to movement of a high speed axis, located in plane horizontal, which generates the pressure necessary to drive the power required by the seawater extraction pumps and by the impulsion pumps to the conventional installation of Inverse osmosis. The entire power transmission system is actuated solely and exclusively by the movement of the blades or propellers, which are driven by the force of the wind.

Por ello, la gran novedad de la invención, es que con este sistema de generación de presión por medios mecánicos, se puede poner en funcionamiento una estación desaladora por ósmosis inversa, de tipo convencional, pero con un consumo de energía eléctrica cero, y sin necesidad de utilizar ningún otro tipo de energía contaminante. Al contrario, como valor añadido de la instalación, la salmuera procedente de la desalación del agua marina, se destina a la producción de energía eléctrica, por lo que, no solo la instalación no consume ningún tipo de energía contaminante, sino que además de obtener agua desalada a coste energético cero, produce energía eléctrica en cantidad suficiente para el consumo de los servicios auxiliares de la propia instalación.Therefore, the great novelty of the invention is that with this system of pressure generation by mechanical means, a desalination station can be put into operation by reverse osmosis, of the conventional type, but with a consumption of zero electrical energy, and without the need to use any other type of polluting energy. On the contrary, as an added value of installation, the brine from the desalination of the water marine, is intended for the production of electrical energy, therefore that, not only does the installation not consume any type of energy polluting, but in addition to obtaining desalinated water at cost zero energy, produces electrical energy in sufficient quantity for the consumption of the auxiliary services of the own installation.

Breve enunciado de la figuraBrief statement of the figure

Figura núm. 1 y única.- Muestra un diagrama esquemático de un posible ejemplo de realización de la "Instalación para el aprovechamiento de energía eólica utilizada en la generación de presión mediante medios mecánicos para la impulsión de agua marina hasta una planta desaladora por el método de ósmosis inversa y aprovechamiento de la salmuera para la producción de energía eléctrica", objeto de la invención.Figure no. 1 and only.- Show a diagram schematic of a possible example of realization of the "Installation for the use of wind energy used in the generation of pressure by mechanical means for the discharge of seawater to a desalination plant by the method of reverse osmosis and use of the brine for the production of electrical energy ", object of the invention.

En el se detalla que: (1) es el aspa o hélice destinada a ser la receptora de la fuerza eólica y trasmitirla al conjunto de poleas (2) unido mediante un sistema de engranajes (3). El giro del aspa o hélice (1) provoca el movimiento rotativo de las poleas (2), las cuales, a su vez, están conectadas en su base a un mecanismo de transmisión (4), también de engranajes, y a una caja de cambios (5), para transmitir dicha fuerza en un movimiento giratorio a un eje de alta velocidad (6), situado en posición horizontal.In it it is detailed that: (1) is the blade or propeller destined to be the receiver of the wind force and transmit it to the set of pulleys (2) joined by a gear system (3). The rotation of the blade or propeller (1) causes the rotary movement of the pulleys (2), which, in turn, are connected at their base to a transmission mechanism (4), also gears, and to a box gearbox (5), to transmit said force in a movement rotary to a high speed shaft (6), located in position horizontal.

Este eje de alta velocidad (6), es el que produce la fuerza suficiente para obtener la presión necesaria en el conjunto (7) compuesto de bombas de extracción de agua del mar y equipos de filtración, así como sobre el conjunto (8) de bombas de impulsión e instalación de estación desaladora por ósmosis inversa, donde se incluye también la propia instalación de aprovechamiento de la salmuera para la producción de energía eléctrica.This high speed shaft (6) is the one that produces enough force to obtain the necessary pressure in the set (7) composed of pumps for the extraction of sea water and filtration equipment, as well as on the set (8) of pumps of impulsion and installation of desalination station by reverse osmosis, which also includes the harvesting facility itself of brine for the production of electrical energy.

Ambos conjuntos (7 y 8) de bombas de extracción y filtrado, y bombas de impulsión, instalación de ósmosis inversa e instalación de aprovechamiento de la salmuera, son de tipo convencional en cualquier estación desaladora, con la única excepción que en vez de ser activadas por la fuerza eléctrica de los motores, se consigue su funcionamiento por la fuerza generada por la acción del viento sobre el conjunto objeto de esta patente. Por lo tanto el conjunto del aspa o hélice (1), conjunto de poleas (2), sistema de engranajes (3), mecanismo de transmisión (4), caja de cambios (5) y eje de alta velocidad (6), es lo que forma en si la instalación de generación de presión por medios mecánicos, objeto de esta patente de invención, ya que para su funcionamiento únicamente es necesaria la fuerza eólica, sin que se utilice ningún otro tipo de energía, ni eléctrica ni térmica o cualquier otro tipo de energía contaminante.Both sets (7 and 8) of extraction pumps and filtration, and impulsion pumps, installation of reverse osmosis and facility for the use of brine, are of the conventional in any desalination station, with the only except that instead of being activated by the electric force of engines, their operation is achieved by the force generated by the action of the wind on the whole object of this patent. Therefore the blade assembly or propeller (1), pulley assembly (2), gear system (3), transmission mechanism (4), box gearbox (5) and high-speed shaft (6), is what forms itself the installation for generating pressure by mechanical means, object of this invention patent, since for its operation only wind power is required, without using any other type of energy, neither electrical nor thermal or any other type of polluting energy.
