Description

本発明は、請求項1のおいて書き部分に記載の内燃機関のためのガス供給装置に関するものである。それに加え本発明は、請求項9のおいて書き部分に記載の、内燃機関で燃焼可能な自然発生ボイルオフガス(NBOG)と強制的に蒸発させて発生させたボイルオフガス(FBOG)の混合ガスを調達する方法にも関するものである。   The present invention relates to a gas supply device for an internal combustion engine according to claim 1. In addition, the present invention provides a mixed gas of a naturally generated boil-off gas (NBOG) combustible in an internal combustion engine and a boil-off gas (FBOG) generated by forcibly evaporating, as described in claim 9. It also relates to the procurement method.

燃料としての天然ガスを貯留するガスタンカーやその他の乗り物において天然ガスは液化された状態(液化天然ガス)で輸送され、その際冷却され液化された天然ガスの温度はおよそ−162℃で、その圧力はおよそ大気圧に保たれている。輸送されるべき冷却され液化された天然ガスを収容するために使用されるガス容器もしくは貯蔵タンクは、断熱に費用がかかる。それでもなお、輸送される天然ガスがある程度温まってしまうのは避けられず、冷却され液化された天然ガスを貯留するガス容器においては、容器内部の温度上昇によって天然ガスがいわゆるNBOGとして蒸発する。冷却され液化された天然ガスを貯留するガス容器内部のこのような避けられない蒸発の結果として生じる圧力の上昇に抵抗するために、ガス容器からNBOGが取り除かれる。冷却され液化された天然ガス用の貯蔵タンクを有する固定されたガスで駆動する駆動装置にも同じ原則が当てはまる。   In gas tankers and other vehicles that store natural gas as fuel, natural gas is transported in a liquefied state (liquefied natural gas), and the temperature of the cooled and liquefied natural gas is about −162 ° C. The pressure is maintained at about atmospheric pressure. Gas containers or storage tanks used to contain the cooled and liquefied natural gas to be transported are expensive to insulate. Nevertheless, it is inevitable that the natural gas to be transported is heated to some extent, and in a gas container that stores the cooled and liquefied natural gas, the natural gas evaporates as so-called NBOG due to the temperature rise inside the container. NBOG is removed from the gas container to resist the pressure increase that occurs as a result of such inevitable evaporation inside the gas container that stores the cooled and liquefied natural gas. The same principle applies to fixed gas driven drives with storage tanks for cooled and liquefied natural gas.

冷却され液化された天然ガスを貯留する貯蔵タンク内において温度上昇により蒸発した天然ガス、すなわちNBOGを、ガスを燃料とする機関とりわけガスタンカーの内燃機関に供給し、それによってそのようなNBOGをガスタンカーの駆動に利用することが、特許文献1および特許文献2からすでに知られている。さらに、NBOGの量が不充分な場合、冷却され液化された天然ガスを貯留するガス容器から液化天然ガスを取り出すことができ、蒸発器に供給可能であることも、この従来技術からすでに知られている。   Supplying natural gas, i.e., NBOG, evaporating due to temperature rise in a storage tank that stores cooled and liquefied natural gas to an engine that uses gas as a fuel, especially an internal combustion engine of a gas tanker. It is already known from Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 that it is used for driving a tanker. Furthermore, it is already known from this prior art that when the amount of NBOG is insufficient, the liquefied natural gas can be taken out from the gas container storing the cooled and liquefied natural gas and can be supplied to the evaporator. ing.

冷却され液化された天然ガスを貯留するガス容器から取り出された天然ガスは蒸発器の中で一部が蒸発し、蒸発した後はいわゆるFBOGとしてNBOGと混合可能となる。FBOGとNBOGとのこの混合ガスはその後、ガスを燃料とする機関とりわけ内燃機関による駆動部へと供給可能となる。蒸発しなかった、より高温で沸騰する天然ガスの成分は、既知の装置の中で使用されない状態で、ガス容器もしくは貯蔵タンクに戻される。   The natural gas taken out from the gas container storing the cooled and liquefied natural gas partially evaporates in the evaporator, and after evaporating, it can be mixed with NBOG as so-called FBOG. This mixed gas of FBOG and NBOG can then be supplied to an engine that uses the gas as fuel, particularly to a drive unit of an internal combustion engine. Natural gas components that have not evaporated and boil at a higher temperature are returned to the gas container or storage tank without being used in known equipment.

NBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスの組成は様々な条件によって左右されており、それゆえ変化に支配されている。しかしながらNBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスは、ある程度のアンチノック性を有する場合に限って、たとえばディーゼルガスエンジンやオットーガスエンジンといった内燃機関内で形成され、駆動装置で燃焼され得る。この混合ガスのアンチノック性を示す尺度として、混合ガスのいわゆるメタン価が考慮され得、このメタン価は、ほぼNBOGとFBOGとの混合ガス内のメタンとその他の成分との量の比率で表示される。任意に混合されたガスのメタン価は、様々な市販の機器を用いて確定されうる。   The composition of the gas mixture of NBOG and FBOG depends on various conditions and is therefore subject to change. However, the mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG can be formed in an internal combustion engine such as a diesel gas engine or an Otto gas engine and burned by a drive device only when it has a certain degree of antiknock properties. The so-called methane number of the mixed gas can be considered as a measure of the anti-knock properties of this mixed gas, and this methane number is displayed as a ratio of the amount of methane and other components in the mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG. Is done. The methane number of the arbitrarily mixed gas can be determined using a variety of commercially available equipment.

これまで知られている内燃機関のためのガス供給装置ではある範囲においては、アンチノック性に関しては充分な、NBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスが調達され得る。すなわち蒸発したガスのメタン価をあげることができる。しかしながら混合ガスはまだ最適なものとはみなされ得ない。そのため、とりわけメタン価80以上を示すほどに最適化されたアンチノック性を備えた混合ガスを調達できるような、内燃機関駆動のためのガス供給装置が必要となる。
国際公開第2005/058692号パンフレット 国際公開第2005/058684号パンフレット
In a certain range of gas supply devices for internal combustion engines known so far, a sufficient mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG can be procured with respect to antiknock properties. That is, the methane number of the evaporated gas can be increased. However, the gas mixture cannot yet be considered optimal. Therefore, there is a need for a gas supply device for driving an internal combustion engine that can procure a mixed gas having antiknock properties optimized to show a methane number of 80 or more.
International Publication No. 2005/058692 Pamphlet International Publication No. 2005/058684 Pamphlet

このことから本発明は、内燃機関の駆動装置のための新式のガス供給装置ならびに、内燃機関内で燃焼可能なNBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスを調達するための新式の方法を作り上げ、当該ガス供給装置によって混合物のメタン価を、少ないコストで最適に増大させることを可能とするという課題を有している。   From this, the present invention has created a new gas supply device for a drive device of an internal combustion engine and a new method for procuring a mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG combustible in the internal combustion engine. There is a problem that the apparatus can optimally increase the methane number of the mixture at a low cost.

この課題は、請求項1に記載のガス供給装置によって解決される。本発明においては、当該ガス供給装置は、蒸発したガスを、蒸発器を介して噴霧タンクへ送る第2のガス管システムを備えており、当該第2のガス管システムはさらに制御弁を介して、蒸発器から分かれた経路で液化ガスを噴霧タンクへと送る。他方で噴霧タンクは温度センサーと制御装置を備えており、この制御装置は温度センサーに従って、制御弁を通る液化ガスの流量を調節する。その結果、蒸発器から出てくる蒸発したガスの温度は、噴霧タンク内で液化ガスの噴霧によってコントロールされて低下可能となり、ガスの中で比重の大きい炭化水素を凝縮して液体の状態で噴霧タンクから排出させることができ、そして所定のメタン価のガスが噴霧タンクから内燃機関へと供給されることができる。   This problem is solved by the gas supply device according to claim 1. In this invention, the said gas supply apparatus is provided with the 2nd gas pipe system which sends the vaporized gas to a spray tank via an evaporator, The said 2nd gas pipe system is further via a control valve. The liquefied gas is sent to the spray tank through a route separated from the evaporator. On the other hand, the spray tank is provided with a temperature sensor and a control device, which adjusts the flow rate of the liquefied gas through the control valve according to the temperature sensor. As a result, the temperature of the vaporized gas coming out of the evaporator can be controlled and lowered by spraying the liquefied gas in the spray tank, and the hydrocarbon having a high specific gravity is condensed in the gas and sprayed in the liquid state. The gas can be discharged from the tank, and a gas of a predetermined methane number can be supplied from the spray tank to the internal combustion engine.

比喩的な意味では、噴霧タンク内において液化ガス(LNG)とともに蒸発ガスの噴霧を行うことは、FBOG(蒸発ガス)の洗浄と冷却とみなされ得る。   In a figurative sense, spraying evaporative gas with liquefied gas (LNG) in a spray tank can be considered as cleaning and cooling of FBOG (evaporated gas).

噴霧タンクと温度センサー、そして噴霧タンク内の温度センサーの測定値に応じて行われる液化ガス量の制御によって、内燃機関に供給される混合ガスのメタン価をコントロールして引き上げることができる。   The methane number of the mixed gas supplied to the internal combustion engine can be controlled and raised by controlling the amount of liquefied gas performed according to the measurement value of the spray tank, the temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor in the spray tank.

(所定の圧力での)ガスの温度は、噴霧タンクから出てくるガスの組成の尺度であり、またそれとともにそのガスのメタン価の尺度でもある。所定のメタン価を持ったガスすなわちメタン価が80以上であるガスは好適に、液滴分離器や熱変換器を介して内燃機関に供給され得る。噴霧タンクと液滴分離器内で集められた縮合物は、管あるいは縮合物分離器を介して好適に再冷却熱変換器を通り再び貯蔵タンクへと送られる。このようにして、いわゆる噴霧循環が保証される。   The temperature of the gas (at a given pressure) is a measure of the composition of the gas coming out of the spray tank and is also a measure of the methane number of the gas. A gas having a predetermined methane number, that is, a gas having a methane number of 80 or more can be suitably supplied to the internal combustion engine via a droplet separator or a heat converter. The condensate collected in the spray tank and droplet separator is preferably routed through the tube or condensate separator, preferably through the recooling heat converter and back to the storage tank. In this way, so-called spray circulation is ensured.

このようにして調達されたFBOGをNBOGと混合して、アンチノック性に関して最適化された、NBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスが出来上がる。   The FBOG thus procured is mixed with NBOG, and a mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG optimized for anti-knock properties is completed.

内燃機関内で燃焼可能なNBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスの、本発明に係る調達方法は、請求項9で定義されている。   A method for procuring a mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG combustible in an internal combustion engine according to the present invention is defined in claim 9.

本発明の好適な更なる形成は、従属請求項と以下の説明によってもたらされる。本発明の実施例は図に基づいて詳述されるが、本発明はこれらの実施例に限定されるものではない。図に示されるのは、以下のとおりである。   Further preferred embodiments of the invention result from the dependent claims and the following description. Examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The figure shows the following.

ここで示される発明は、内燃機関のためのガス供給装置に関するもので、駆動燃料である冷却され液化された天然ガスが貯蔵タンク17にある。   The invention shown here relates to a gas supply device for an internal combustion engine, in which a cooled and liquefied natural gas as a drive fuel is in the storage tank 17.

本発明に係るガス供給装置は、以下のように図1から図5に関連して比較的詳しく記述されており、図1から図5まではそれぞれ本発明に係るガス供給装置の様々な実施例を示している。   The gas supply apparatus according to the present invention is described in relatively detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 as follows. FIGS. 1 to 5 show various embodiments of the gas supply apparatus according to the present invention. Is shown.

図1は、本発明に係る内燃機関3のガス供給装置の第1の実施例を示している。ガス供給装置は2つのガス管システム4と22とを有している。   FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a gas supply device for an internal combustion engine 3 according to the present invention. The gas supply device has two gas pipe systems 4 and 22.

第1のガス管システム4を通じて、いわゆるNBOGが内燃機関3の方向へ送り込まれる。NBOGは、貯蔵タンク17に準備されている液体状態かつ冷却された天然ガスが貯蔵タンクにおける当該液化天然ガスの温度上昇によって蒸発することで生じ、NBOGは第1のガス管システム4のガス管を通じて貯蔵タンク17から排出される。ガス管に接続されているコンプレッサー1を通って、NBOGは内燃機関3へと供給可能となっている。コンプレッサーの配管1、1’、1”は内燃機関3の前方においてガスの圧力水準を介して制御される。   So-called NBOG is fed in the direction of the internal combustion engine 3 through the first gas pipe system 4. NBOG is caused by evaporation of the liquid and cooled natural gas prepared in the storage tank 17 due to the temperature rise of the liquefied natural gas in the storage tank, and NBOG is generated through the gas pipe of the first gas pipe system 4. It is discharged from the storage tank 17. The NBOG can be supplied to the internal combustion engine 3 through the compressor 1 connected to the gas pipe. The compressor piping 1, 1 ′, 1 ″ is controlled in front of the internal combustion engine 3 via the gas pressure level.

内燃機関3のためのNBOGの量が足りない場合は、第2のガス管システム22によって液体状態かつ冷却された天然ガスを貯蔵タンク17から取り出すことができ、ガス供給装置の蒸発器12に供給できる。蒸発器12の中で、貯蔵タンク17から取り出された液化ガスは、その一部が蒸発可能であり、いわゆるFBOGとして、第1のガス管システム4からのNBOGと混合ポイント31で混合され得る。   When the amount of NBOG for the internal combustion engine 3 is insufficient, natural gas cooled and cooled by the second gas pipe system 22 can be taken out from the storage tank 17 and supplied to the evaporator 12 of the gas supply device. it can. A part of the liquefied gas taken out from the storage tank 17 in the evaporator 12 can be evaporated, and can be mixed with the NBOG from the first gas pipe system 4 at the mixing point 31 as a so-called FBOG.

従って、混合ポイント31の下流では、NBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスがあり、その混合ガスは熱変換器2の中で、特に室温になるまで温度調節可能であり、続いてエンジン3へと供給可能である。   Therefore, downstream of the mixing point 31, there is a mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG. The mixed gas can be adjusted in the heat converter 2 until it reaches room temperature, and can be subsequently supplied to the engine 3. It is.

それゆえエンジン内において、貯蔵タンク17から蒸気として出されるよりも多くの天然ガスが必要とされる場合、第1のガス管システム4あるいは貯蔵タンク17の圧力センサー21によってこのことが認識され、追加の天然ガスが第2のガス管システム22内の弁10の制御によって蒸発器12に供給される。ガス管システム22においては、液化天然ガスは貯蔵タンク17のポンプ18によって圧力をかけられ、熱交換器13を介して2つの制御弁7と10へと送られる。蒸発器12を通る天然ガスの流量は、弁10により圧力センサー21の測定値に基づいて制御され、蒸発器12の中で生じたガスは噴霧タンク8の株領域に送られる。噴霧タンク8内で温度センサー9によって測定された温度で、第2のガス管システム22の弁7における流量が調節され、液体状態かつ冷却されたガス(LNG)が噴霧タンク8の上部領域に送られる。噴霧タンク8内の噴霧装置30によって液化天然ガスが噴霧されることで、噴霧タンク8の上部領域の蒸発ガスの温度がコントロールされて下げられる。さらに、メタン価に関して最適に調節されたガスが、液滴分離器5を介して内燃機関3および熱交換器6へと供給される。噴霧タンク8と液滴分離器5において集められた縮合物は、管15と縮合物分離器14を通り、再冷却熱交換器13を経て、管16を通って再び貯蔵タンク17へと送られる。   Therefore, if more natural gas is needed in the engine than is emitted from the storage tank 17 as steam, this is recognized by the first gas pipe system 4 or the pressure sensor 21 of the storage tank 17 and added. Natural gas is supplied to the evaporator 12 by the control of the valve 10 in the second gas pipe system 22. In the gas pipe system 22, the liquefied natural gas is pressurized by the pump 18 of the storage tank 17 and sent to the two control valves 7 and 10 via the heat exchanger 13. The flow rate of the natural gas passing through the evaporator 12 is controlled by the valve 10 based on the measured value of the pressure sensor 21, and the gas generated in the evaporator 12 is sent to the stock area of the spray tank 8. The flow rate at the valve 7 of the second gas pipe system 22 is adjusted at the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 9 in the spray tank 8, and the liquid and cooled gas (LNG) is sent to the upper area of the spray tank 8. It is done. By spraying the liquefied natural gas by the spray device 30 in the spray tank 8, the temperature of the evaporated gas in the upper region of the spray tank 8 is controlled and lowered. Furthermore, a gas optimally adjusted with respect to the methane number is supplied to the internal combustion engine 3 and the heat exchanger 6 via the droplet separator 5. The condensate collected in the spray tank 8 and the droplet separator 5 passes through the pipe 15 and the condensate separator 14, passes through the recooling heat exchanger 13, and is sent again to the storage tank 17 through the pipe 16. .

第1の供給管4のコンプレッサー1を混合ポイント31の前に配置することで、噴霧タンク8は内燃機関3の圧力水準で駆動される。   By arranging the compressor 1 of the first supply pipe 4 in front of the mixing point 31, the spray tank 8 is driven at the pressure level of the internal combustion engine 3.

以上の点を要約すると図1は、第1のガス管システム4と第2のガス管システム22を有する、気体燃料で駆動される内燃機関3のためのガス供給装置を示している。冷却され液化された天然ガスを貯留する貯蔵タンク17の中で該貯蔵タンク17の温度上昇によって蒸発する天然ガスをNBOGとして、第1のガス管システム4を介して内燃機関3の方向に送り出すことができる。また、NBOGの量が駆動に充分でない場合、第2のガス管システム22を通じて、冷却され液化された天然ガスを貯留する貯蔵タンク17から液化天然ガスを取り出し、蒸発器12に供給して一部をFBOGとして蒸発させた後にNBOGと混合させることができ、それによってNBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスを内燃機関3の方向に送り出すことができる。その際第2のガス管システム22は、蒸発したガスを、蒸発器12を介して噴霧タンク8へと送り、さらに制御弁7を介して、蒸発器12から分かれた経路で液化ガスを噴霧タンク8へと送る。噴霧タンク8は温度センサー9と制御装置とを備えており、この制御装置は温度センサー9に従って、制御弁7を通る液化ガスの流量を調節する。その結果、蒸発器12から出てくる蒸発したガスの温度は、噴霧タンク8内において液化ガスを噴霧することによってコントロールされて低下可能となり、ガス中の比重の大きい炭化水素は凝縮して液体の状態で噴霧タンク8から排出させることができ、そして所定のメタン価を有するガスが噴霧タンク8から内燃機関3へと供給されることができる。   To summarize the above points, FIG. 1 shows a gas supply device for an internal combustion engine 3 driven by gaseous fuel, having a first gas pipe system 4 and a second gas pipe system 22. In the storage tank 17 that stores the cooled and liquefied natural gas, the natural gas that evaporates due to the temperature rise of the storage tank 17 is sent to the internal combustion engine 3 via the first gas pipe system 4 as NBOG. Can do. If the amount of NBOG is not sufficient for driving, the liquefied natural gas is taken out from the storage tank 17 for storing the cooled and liquefied natural gas through the second gas pipe system 22 and supplied to the evaporator 12 to partially Can be mixed with NBOG after being evaporated as FBOG, whereby a mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG can be sent out in the direction of the internal combustion engine 3. At that time, the second gas pipe system 22 sends the evaporated gas to the spray tank 8 via the evaporator 12, and further the liquefied gas is sprayed to the spray tank via the control valve 7 through a route separated from the evaporator 12. Send to 8. The spray tank 8 includes a temperature sensor 9 and a control device, and the control device adjusts the flow rate of the liquefied gas through the control valve 7 according to the temperature sensor 9. As a result, the temperature of the evaporated gas coming out of the evaporator 12 can be controlled and lowered by spraying the liquefied gas in the spray tank 8, and hydrocarbons having a large specific gravity in the gas are condensed to form liquid. The gas can be discharged from the spray tank 8 in a state, and a gas having a predetermined methane number can be supplied from the spray tank 8 to the internal combustion engine 3.

噴霧タンク8内に形成された縮合物は、縮合物分離器14によって貯蔵タンク17に再び送られ得る。   The condensate formed in the spray tank 8 can be sent again to the storage tank 17 by the condensate separator 14.

第1のガス管システム4あるいは貯蔵タンク17には、該貯蔵タンク17内部の圧力を確認するために圧力センサー21が設置されている。該圧力センサーおよび該センサーと協働する制御弁10とによって、蒸発の出力すなわち蒸発器12を通るFBOGの流量が、制御可能である。   A pressure sensor 21 is installed in the first gas pipe system 4 or the storage tank 17 in order to check the pressure inside the storage tank 17. By means of the pressure sensor and the control valve 10 cooperating with the sensor, the output of the evaporation, ie the flow rate of the FBOG through the evaporator 12, can be controlled.

噴霧タンク8から内燃機関3に向かって出て行ったガスは、液滴分離器5と熱交換器6とを通って前記内燃機関3に供給され得る。液滴分離器5内で形成された縮合物は、管15によって貯蔵タンク17に再び送られ得る。   The gas discharged from the spray tank 8 toward the internal combustion engine 3 can be supplied to the internal combustion engine 3 through the droplet separator 5 and the heat exchanger 6. The condensate formed in the droplet separator 5 can be sent again to the storage tank 17 by means of a tube 15.

液滴分離器5および/または縮合物分離器14の縮合物の流れは、貯蔵タンク17の前の熱交換器13で再冷却され得る。   The condensate stream of the droplet separator 5 and / or the condensate separator 14 can be recooled in the heat exchanger 13 before the storage tank 17.

内燃機関3内で燃焼可能なNBOGとFBOGとの混合ガスを調達するための方法、すなわち冷却され液化された天然ガスを貯留する貯蔵タンク17の中で該貯蔵タンク17の温度上昇によって蒸発する天然ガスが、NBOGとして内燃機関3に向かって送り出され、また、NBOGの量が駆動に充分でない場合、貯蔵タンク17から液化天然ガスが取り出され、蒸発器12に供給されて一部がFBOGとして蒸発した後にNBOGと混合される、という方法は、蒸発したガスが少なくとも噴霧タンク8に供給される工程と、該噴霧タンク8内で通り抜けたガス(FBOG)の温度が貯蔵タンク17からの液化天然ガス(LNG)を噴霧することにより下げられるため、ガス中の比重の大きい炭化水素が凝縮して液体の状態で取り出される、という工程とを備えている。   A method for procuring a mixed gas of NBOG and FBOG combustible in the internal combustion engine 3, that is, a natural gas that evaporates due to a rise in temperature of the storage tank 17 in a storage tank 17 that stores cooled and liquefied natural gas. When the gas is sent out as NBOG toward the internal combustion engine 3 and the amount of NBOG is not sufficient for driving, the liquefied natural gas is taken out from the storage tank 17 and supplied to the evaporator 12 to partially evaporate as FBOG. After that, the method of mixing with NBOG is a process in which evaporated gas is supplied to at least the spray tank 8, and the temperature of the gas (FBOG) passing through the spray tank 8 is liquefied natural gas from the storage tank 17. Since it is lowered by spraying (LNG), it comprises a step of condensing hydrocarbons having a large specific gravity in the gas and extracting them in a liquid state.

蒸発器12を通って送られるガスはその際、噴霧タンク8の下部領域に送られ、噴霧されるべき相当量の液化ガスは、噴霧装置30によって噴霧タンク8の上部領域に送られる。噴霧されるべき液化ガスの量は、噴霧タンク8内部の温度に応じて弁7に制御され、その結果噴霧タンク8上部領域のFBOGの温度はコントロールされて下げられる。   The gas sent through the evaporator 12 is then sent to the lower region of the spray tank 8 and a considerable amount of liquefied gas to be sprayed is sent by the spray device 30 to the upper region of the spray tank 8. The amount of liquefied gas to be sprayed is controlled by the valve 7 in accordance with the temperature inside the spray tank 8, and as a result, the temperature of the FBOG in the upper region of the spray tank 8 is controlled and lowered.

噴霧タンク8内のガスの温度は、温度センサー9により、噴霧装置30の上部にある領域あるいは噴霧タンク8の後ろのガス誘導管において測定される。   The temperature of the gas in the spray tank 8 is measured by the temperature sensor 9 in the area above the spray device 30 or in the gas induction tube behind the spray tank 8.

噴霧タンク8は、内燃機関3のために高められた内圧で駆動される。   The spray tank 8 is driven at an increased internal pressure for the internal combustion engine 3.

図2から5は、内燃機関による駆動装置のための本発明に係るガス供給装置の更なる実施例であるが、不必要な反復を避けるために同じ構成要素には同じ符号が使われており、図2から5の実施例が、場合によっては図1の実施例とお互いに異なるようなものについてのみ、以下に詳述する。   FIGS. 2 to 5 are further embodiments of the gas supply device according to the invention for a drive by an internal combustion engine, but the same reference numerals are used for the same components to avoid unnecessary repetition. Only those embodiments of FIGS. 2-5, which may be different from the embodiment of FIG. 1 in some cases, will be described in detail below.

図2の実施例が図1の実施例と異なっているのは単に、混合ポイント31と内燃機関3との間の、混合ガスの下流に圧力上昇装置1’が設置されている点である。その結果噴霧タンク8は貯蔵タンク17の圧力水準の内圧で駆動される。   The embodiment of FIG. 2 differs from the embodiment of FIG. 1 only in that a pressure raising device 1 ′ is installed downstream of the mixed gas between the mixing point 31 and the internal combustion engine 3. As a result, the spray tank 8 is driven with the internal pressure of the pressure level of the storage tank 17.

これに対し図3はガス供給ユニットの実施例を示している。ここでは第1のガス管システム4’が噴霧タンク8を通過するのではなく、同様に噴霧タンク8を貫通している。また混合ポイント31が蒸発器12から噴霧タンク8への供給管22内にある。圧力上昇装置1’は、内燃機関3に供給されるガスの下流において噴霧タンク8に後置され、その結果噴霧タンク8は貯蔵タンク17の圧力水準の内圧で駆動される。   On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the gas supply unit. Here, the first gas pipe system 4 ′ does not pass through the spray tank 8 but similarly passes through the spray tank 8. There is also a mixing point 31 in the supply pipe 22 from the evaporator 12 to the spray tank 8. The pressure raising device 1 ′ is placed behind the spray tank 8 downstream of the gas supplied to the internal combustion engine 3, and as a result, the spray tank 8 is driven with an internal pressure at the pressure level of the storage tank 17.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the compressor 1 ″ instead of the compressor 1 ′ of the embodiment of FIG. Preceding the supply pipe 4, the spray tank 8 is consequently driven at the pressure level before the internal combustion engine 3.

The embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 for increasing the methane number of NBOG is particularly interesting when driving with a high NBOG ratio and a low FBOG ratio.

図5は本発明に係るガス供給装置の更なる実施例を示している。この図では、噴霧タンク8の制御弁7と10に液化ガスで圧力をかけるために、貯蔵タンク17の外に設置された圧力上昇装置19が配置されている。圧力上昇装置19は前留出物用容器20と協働し、液化ガスを吸い上げ、貯蔵タンク17内にある圧力上昇装置18によって前留出物用容器20が満たされ得る。   FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the gas supply device according to the invention. In this figure, in order to apply pressure to the control valves 7 and 10 of the spray tank 8 with liquefied gas, a pressure raising device 19 installed outside the storage tank 17 is arranged. The pressure elevating device 19 cooperates with the pre-distillate container 20 to suck up the liquefied gas and the pre-distillate container 20 can be filled by the pressure elevating device 18 in the storage tank 17.

図5で表された実施形態は、図1から4までの実施形態のコンビネーションである。   The embodiment represented in FIG. 5 is a combination of the embodiments of FIGS.
