Description

RESEAU DE TRANSPORT COMPORTANT UNE FLOTTE DE VEHICULES, BATEAU ET STATION DE RECHARGEMENT EN AIR COMPRIME POUR UN TEL RESEAU. La présente invention concerne un réseau de transport comportant une flotte de véhicules automobiles, notamment de bateaux, dont chacun, pour sa propulsion, fait appel à une source autonome embarquée de gaz comprimé, notamment d'air comprimé.  TRANSPORT NETWORK COMPRISING A FLEET OF VEHICLES, BOAT AND COMPRESSED AIR RECHARGING STATION FOR SUCH A NETWORK. The present invention relates to a transport network comprising a fleet of motor vehicles, including boats, each of which, for its propulsion, uses an autonomous onboard source of compressed gas, including compressed air.

L'invention concerne la navigation ainsi sur un cours d'eau et plus particulièrement la motorisation et l'alimentation en énergie d'une flotte de bateaux bus ou de bateaux de rivière notamment en zone urbaine, afin par exemple de constituer un réseau de transport fluvial en commun. The invention relates to the navigation and to a watercourse and more particularly the motorization and energy supply of a fleet of bus boats or river boats especially in urban areas, for example to form a transport network fluvial in common.

Les bateaux de transports de passagers tels que des bateaux bus et autres fonctionnent pour la plupart avec des moteurs diesel et sont ainsi particulièrement polluants. Passenger transport vessels such as bus and other vessels operate mostly with diesel engines and are thus particularly polluting.

Actuellement des projets de bateaux propres motorisés par des moteurs électriques sont envisagés mais leur alimentation en énergie est particulièrement pénalisante. Currently projects of clean boats motorized by electric motors are envisaged but their power supply is particularly penalizing.

On connaît, au nom du déposant de la présente demande de brevet, de nombreuses demandes de brevets publiées sous les numéros WO 96/27737, WO 97/39232, WO 97/48884, WO 98/15440, WO 98I32963 qui décrivent et représentent des systèmes de motorisation à air comprimé fonctionnant avec une injection d'air comprimé additionnel permettant de réaliser des moteurs dépollués ou dépolluants. Many of the patent applications published under the numbers WO 96/27737, WO 97/39232, WO 97/48884, WO 98/15440, WO 98/32963, which describe and represent patent applications, are known on behalf of the applicant of the present patent application. compressed air motorisation systems operating with an additional compressed air injection making it possible to produce depolluted or depolluting engines.

Ces moteurs s'appliquent aux véhicules terrestres mais aussi àux bateaux et autres navires tels que des bateaux de plaisance sur rivières ou des bateaux de transport de passagers en site urbain tels que des bateaux bus. These engines apply to land vehicles but also to boats and other vessels such as pleasure boats on rivers or passenger boats in urban areas such as boats buses.

Ces moteurs sont alimentés en air comprimé par des réservoirs à haute pression installés à bord du véhicule, notamment à bord du bateau, et ces réservoirs à haute pression embarqués sont remplis soit par un compresseur, lui-même embarqué et entraîné par un moteur électrique, voir la demande de brevet français numéro WO <B>98112062,</B> soit par transfert de volume d'air comprimé à partir d'un réservoir haute pression externe constituant en quelque sorte une station service de ravitaillement en air comprimé. These engines are supplied with compressed air by high pressure tanks installed on board the vehicle, in particular on board the ship, and these high pressure tanks on board are filled either by a compressor, itself embarked and driven by an electric motor, see French patent application number WO 98112062, or by volume transfer of compressed air from an external high pressure tank constituting a sort of service station for supplying compressed air.

L'invention vise à proposer un réseau de transport dans lequel la station de rechargement en air comprimé peut être implantée et fonctionner de manière particulièrement économique, non polluante, et qui peut être intégrée aisément dans le paysage. The invention aims to provide a transport network in which the compressed air charging station can be implemented and operate particularly economically, non-polluting, and can be easily integrated into the landscape.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un réseau de transport comportant une flotte de véhicules automobiles dont chacun, pour sa propulsion, fait appel à une source autonome embarquée de gaz comprimé, notamment d'air comprimé, et au moins une station de rechargement en gaz sous pression, caractérisé en ce que la station est implantée à proximité d'un cours d'eau naturel ou forcé et comporte une turbine entraînée par le débit de l'eau et un compresseur de gaz, notamment d'air, qui est entraîné par la turbine. To this end, the invention proposes a transport network comprising a fleet of motor vehicles each of which, for its propulsion, uses an on-board autonomous source of compressed gas, in particular compressed air, and at least one recharging station. gas under pressure, characterized in that the station is located near a natural or forced watercourse and comprises a turbine driven by the flow of water and a gas compressor, in particular air, which is driven by the turbine.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la station est implantée à proximité d'une mer ou d'un océan et comporte une turbine entraînée par le mouvement des vagues ou par l'énergie maréemotrice. According to another embodiment, the station is located near a sea or an ocean and has a turbine driven by the movement of waves or tidal energy.

Le remplissage des réservoirs à haute pression de la station service est ainsi effectué en totalité ou en partie, par un compresseur entraîné directement par une turbine hydraulique elle- même entraînée par le courant du cours d'eau ou par une chute ménagée sur ce dernier ou bien encore par le mouvement des vagues ou par l'énergie maréemotrice en rendant ainsi énergétiquement indépendante la ligne de transport considérée. The filling of the high-pressure reservoirs of the service station is thus carried out in whole or in part by a compressor driven directly by a hydraulic turbine itself driven by the current of the stream or by a fall formed thereon or still more by the movement of the waves or the tidal energy, thus rendering the transmission line in question energetically independent.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques du réseau - la station de rechargement comporte des moyens de stockage du gaz sous pression ; - la turbine hydraulique est agencée au pied d'une chute naturelle ou artificielle du cours d'eau ; - les véhicules comportent une flotte de bateaux qui naviguent sur le cours d'eau ; - chaque bateau effectue un parcours en boucle, et la station de rechargement est implantée en un point de la boucle. According to other features of the network - the recharging station comprises means for storing the gas under pressure; the hydraulic turbine is arranged at the foot of a natural or artificial fall of the watercourse; - vehicles have a fleet of boats navigating on the watercourse; each boat performs a loop course, and the reload station is located at a point in the loop.

L'invention propose aussi un bateau pour un réseau selon l'invention caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens de raccordement à la station pour le rechargement de sa réserve de gaz sous pression. The invention also proposes a boat for a network according to the invention characterized in that it comprises connection means to the station for reloading its reserve of gas under pressure.

Enfin, l'invention propose également une station de rechargement en gaz sous pression, notamment en air comprimé, pour un réseau conforme aux enseignements de l'invention. Finally, the invention also proposes a recharging station for pressurized gas, in particular compressed air, for a network according to the teachings of the invention.

D'autres buts, avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description, à titre non limitatif, de plusieurs modes de réalisation, faite en regard des dessins annexés dans lesquels - la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un bateau bus appartenant à un réseau de transport conforme aux enseignements de l'invention et qui est illustré en cours de rechargement en air comprimé dans une station de rechargement elle-même conforme aux enseignements de l'invention ; et - la figure 2 est une vue schématique qui représente l'implantation du réseau et de la station en site urbain en association avec une flottille de véhicules terrestres. Other objects, advantages and features of the invention will become apparent on reading the description, in a nonlimiting manner, of several embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings in which - FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a boat bus belonging to a transport network according to the teachings of the invention and which is illustrated during refueling in compressed air in a charging station itself in accordance with the teachings of the invention; and FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the location of the network and the station in an urban site in association with a fleet of land vehicles.

On voit. sur la figure 1 un quai 10 au bord d'une rivière 12 sur laquelle flotte un bateau bus 14 qui est un véhicule de transport en commun dont les moyens de propulsion, non représentés, comportent, de manière connue, un moteur faisant appel à une source d'air comprimé constituée par un réservoir à haute pression, non représenté, embarqué à bord du bateau et qui doit être régulièrement rechargé en air comprimé. We see. in Figure 1 a platform 10 at the edge of a river 12 on which floats a boat bus 14 which is a public transport vehicle whose propulsion means, not shown, comprise, in known manner, an engine using a compressed air source constituted by a high pressure tank, not shown, on board the boat and which must be regularly recharged with compressed air.

À cet effet, une station service de rechargement 16 est aménagée sur le quai 10 et elle comporte notamment un premier poste 18 de rechargement en air comprimé auquel le bateau 14, lorsqu'on est en cours de rechargement, est relié par une canalisation 20. For this purpose, a refueling service station 16 is arranged on the platform 10 and includes in particular a first station 18 for charging compressed air to which the boat 14, when being recharged, is connected by a pipe 20.

La station service 16 peut aussi comporter un deuxième poste de rechargement 22 qui est plus particulièrement adapté au rechargement du réservoir d'air comprimé à haute pression d'un véhicule terrestre 24. The service station 16 may also include a second recharging station 22 which is more particularly suitable for recharging the tank of high pressure compressed air of a land vehicle 24.

Les deux postes 18, 22 seront bien entendus reliés à une réserve d'air comprimé sous pression 26 qui est ici représentée de manière schématique sous la forme d'une cuve, ou réservoir, qui est enterrée dans le quai 10. The two stations 18, 22 will of course be connected to a reserve of pressurized compressed air 26 which is here represented schematically in the form of a tank, or tank, which is buried in the dock 10.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation le réservoir est enterré sous terre à une profondeur permettant de récupérer de l'énergie géothermique par réchauffement de l'air comprimé. In another embodiment the tank is buried underground at a depth to recover geothermal energy by heating the compressed air.

Conformément aux enseignements de l'invention, la réserve 26 est rechargée en air comprimé par l'intermédiaire d'un compresseur 28 qui est entraîné par une turbine à eau 30 qui est elle-même entraînée ou propulsée par le débit de l'eau du cours d'eau 12. According to the teachings of the invention, the reserve 26 is recharged with compressed air via a compressor 28 which is driven by a water turbine 30 which is itself driven or propelled by the flow of the water of the stream 12.

Ainsi, la source d'énergie de la turbine 30 est gratuite dans la mesure où elle est constituée par le débit de la rivière. Thus, the energy source of the turbine 30 is free insofar as it is constituted by the flow of the river.

Afin d'accroître les capacités de rechargement de la réserve 26, la station de rechargement 16 peut-être implantée en un point du cours d'eau tel que la turbine 30 se situe au niveau d'une chute d'eau naturelle ou aménagée de la rivière 12. In order to increase the recharging capacities of the reserve 26, the recharging station 16 can be installed at a point of the watercourse such that the turbine 30 is located at a natural or constructed waterfall. the river 12.

La liaison entre le compresseur 28 et la turbine 30 peut être réalisée par différents moyens adaptés en fonction de l'implantation, et de la nature du compresseur 28 et de la turbine 30. The connection between the compressor 28 and the turbine 30 can be achieved by various means adapted according to the implantation, and the nature of the compressor 28 and the turbine 30.

À titre d'exemple chiffré, la turbine 30 est par exemple une micro turbine de 500 kilowatts qui entraîne un compresseur d'air susceptible de produire 2000 m3 d'air comprimé par heure. La capacité de la réserve est de 4000 m3 pour permettre le ravitaillement de 6 bateaux bus dont chacun comporte un réservoir de 900 m3 d'air comprimé sous une pression de 300 bars, consomme 300 m3 par heure et ravitaille toutes les trois heures. As an example, the turbine 30 is for example a micro turbine of 500 kilowatts which drives an air compressor capable of producing 2000 m3 of compressed air per hour. The capacity of the reserve is 4000 m3 to allow the refueling of 6 bus boats, each of which has a tank of 900 m3 of compressed air under a pressure of 300 bar, consumes 300 m3 per hour and refueling every three hours.

Comme on peut le voir sur le schéma de la figure 2, la station de rechargement 16 peut-être implantée en un point de la rive du cours d'eau 12 qui constitue également un point d'embarquement à bord des bateaux bus 14. La station 16 peut aussi être implantée à proximité d'un parking 32 sur lequel peuvent stationner plusieurs véhicules 24 pouvant se recharger en air comprimé à la station 16, celle-ci comportant alors de préférence plusieurs postes 18 et postes 22 de rechargement pour les bateaux 14. La conception selon l'invention permet ainsi, notamment en site urbain, de disposer d'une source d'énergie gratuite, non polluante, et qui n'est pas dangereuse à stocker. As can be seen in the diagram of Figure 2, the recharging station 16 may be located at a point on the bank of the watercourse 12 which also constitutes a boarding point on board the boats 14. station 16 may also be located near a parking lot 32 on which several vehicles 24 can be parked, which can be recharged with compressed air at station 16, which station then preferably comprises several stations 18 and loading stations 22 for boats 14 The design according to the invention thus makes it possible, particularly in an urban site, to have a free, non-polluting source of energy that is not dangerous to store.

Dans le cas de parcours plus importants, il est bien entendu possible d'implanter plusieurs stations autonomes de rechargement comportant chacune son ensemble compresseur-turbine à eau, par exemple à chacune des extrémités du parcours. In the case of larger courses, it is of course possible to set up several autonomous recharging stations each comprising its compressor-turbine water unit, for example at each end of the course.

L'invention a aussi pour avantage de réduire les nuisances liées à l'implantation des stations de rechargement de véhicules en air comprimé, dans la mesure où il n'est plus nécessaire qu'elles soient implantées à proximité d'une source d'énergie électrique pour l'entraînement en rotation du compresseur, ou à proximité d'une route permettant le ravitaillement du compresseur en carburant. The invention also has the advantage of reducing the nuisance associated with the installation of charging stations of vehicles with compressed air, to the extent that it is no longer necessary for them to be located near a source of energy. electric drive for rotating the compressor, or near a road for refueling the compressor.

L'invention retrouve son application quel que soit le type de bateaux ou de navires que l'on veut ravitailler en air comprimé, et quel que soit le type de cours d'eau, rivière, fleuve, ou bien d'une mer ou d'un océan etc.The invention finds its application regardless of the type of boat or ship that we want to supply compressed air, and regardless of the type of river, river, river, or a sea or water. an ocean etc.
