Description

1. Technical field to which the invention relates

Extremely high pressure air compressor for hydraulic and pneumatic applications.

2. State of the art

Known Glazunov compressor unit having a cylindrical body, partitioned to engine and compressor sections having intake, exhaust, two rotors with radial pistons forming the engine and compressor operating chambers (USSR aut. Liud, No.1168745, TPK F 04 C 23/02.1985).

A known compressor-pump (LT 3322 B) consists of a housing having a spherical surface, a spherical rotor mounted on a shaft and a spherical rotor cover. The axes of the rotor and the rotor shell passing through the equator and center of the housing form an angle a = 25 ° -35 °. The rotor has radial pistons sealed by gaskets. The pistons are connected to the rotor by fingers which have slack in the rotor cowl openings. The compressor-pump housing has two pairs of intake and exhaust ports located at different levels / upper and lower /. Working chambers are formed between the rotor cover and the pistons.

The known construction of the aforementioned devices results in pressure losses in the sliding contact area of the cylinder / housing inner wall and piston at a certain high pressure.

3. Gist of the Invention

It is an object of the invention to provide a much higher air pressure using a method that does not use movable, sliding parts for applying pressure, thereby avoiding pressure loss through the contact area between the sliding parts and the cylinder / housing.

The object of the present invention is that in a high pressure compressor having a steel tank, electrodes for generating electric discharge sparks are set, the electric pulse supply interval being set on the control panel according to the desired compressor power, the electrode for water electrolysis supplied on the control panel according to the desired compressor power such as an air intake valve, pressure relief valves, valves and tubing for electrolyte (water with catalyst) inlet and outlet, pressure sensors for pressure locking and protective mechanisms, a pressure tubing connected to a pressure vessel - hydrogen and oxygen are released from the water in gaseous form. This gas is exploded and the resulting high pressure vapor is mixed with the air sucked from the ambient air, passing to the pressure chamber.

The main disadvantage of this compressor is that the supply of high pressure compressed air is higher in relative humidity than that extracted from the environment.

The invention is intended to cause very high air pressure. Can be used in a variety of industrial applications: in machine tools, presses, high pressure cutting machines, etc.

4. Brief description of the drawing figures

The schematic diagram of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing.

The compressor has a steel capacity (1) and its geometrical dimensions are selected according to the planned compressor power and performance. A tube (2) is connected to the container (1). A valve (3) is provided at the connection of the container (1) to the tube (2). Above the valve (3) there are two electrodes (4), which generate a spark of electrical discharge between them as required. Above the electrodes (4) is a high pressure sensor (5) used in the first protection mechanism as well as for pressure recording. Above the high pressure sensor (5) is a pressure relief valve (6). A pressure transfer tube (7) is connected from the compressor to transfer pressure, above the pressure relief valve (6). The material and geometric dimensions of the pipe are selected based on the compressor power and performance required. The purpose of the tube is to reduce the surge of compressed air coming out of the compressor and to transfer compressed air. A high pressure sensor (8) is provided between the pressure relief valve (6) and the pressure transfer tube (7).

The high pressure sensor (8), like the high pressure sensor (5), is used in the first protection mechanism as well as for the pressure recording. In the container (1) below the pressure relief valve (6), a working chamber (9) is created. An air inlet valve (10) is located in the container (1) below the pressure relief valve (6). The capacitance (1) is filled with electrolyte (11) until there is no contact with the electrodes (4). An electrode (12) is provided in the receptacle (1) for electrolysis and separated from the holders by direct contact with the receptacle (1). The size and geometric dimensions of the electrode (12) are selected according to the intended intensity of electrolysis. The lower part of the container (1) is provided with a valve (13) which is connected to the valve (3). These valves (3) and (13) are intended to replenish or drain the electrolyte (11) in the container (1) by opening / closing the flow from / to the tubes (2) and (14). The compressor has a high-pressure sensor (15) used in the second protective mechanism as well as a pressure sensing device. The pressure transfer tube (7) is connected to the pressure inlet valve (16) to the pressure receptacle (17). The container (17) is equipped with a high pressure sensor (15). The reservoir (17) is also provided with a pressure relief valve (18).

5. Data describing the invention

The high pressure compressor works this way.

After opening the valves (3) and (13), the water with the catalyst (Na ₂ CO 3; NaCl or other) (electrolyte) (11) is fed through the inlet and outlet tubes (2) and (14) into the tank (1). The amount of electrolyte is determined from the required storage capacity (9) of the tank (1) for the gas to be emitted. The electrolyte (11) must not come into direct contact with the electrodes (4) (do not cover them).

When the valves (3) and (13) are closed, the container (1) becomes airtight. Electrolysis of water is carried out by passing current through the electrode (12) and the housing of the steel tank (1). This produces hydrogen and oxygen in the form of gas. The electric current and voltage for the electrolysis are regulated on the control panel according to the desired compressor power and performance. Electrolysis causes a spark of electrical discharge between electrodes (4) after an appropriate period of time. The time elapsed between the electrical discharge by the spark generating electrodes (4) is varied according to the power and capacity of the compressor. The spark of electrical discharge between the electrodes (4) explodes hydrogen and oxygen. The resulting pressure is pushed through the valve (6) into the pressure tube (7). By exiting the valve (6), hot air is mixed with the resulting water vapor and the remaining volume of gas in the working volume (9) of the container (1) suddenly cools down and the chamber is sucked in air from the ambient air intake valve (10). As a result, the compressor blows not compressed water vapor, but compressed air mixed with water vapor, that is, compressed air with increased relative humidity. The current pressure and its change are recorded by the pressure sensors (5) and (8). If they do not record the change in pressure over an appropriate period of time by interpolation to the allowable current and voltage, the first protection mechanism is triggered and the electrical supply to the electrode (12) and the body (1) are stopped. An additional spark is created between the electrodes (4). If the pressure sensors (5) and (8) do not detect a change in pressure, the air inlet valve (10) opens.

The pressure shock wave exiting the compressor is attenuated in the pressure transfer tube (7). The material and geometric dimensions of the tube (7) are selected according to the compressor power and capacity planned. The pressure is transferred from the tube (7) to the pressure vessel (17) through the valve (16). The pressure receptacle is equipped with a pressure sensor (15) which detects the actual pressure in the receptacle and also serves as a second protection mechanism. When the set pressure is reached in the tank (17), the electrical supply to the electrode (12) and the housing of the steel tank (1) is cut off. Compressed air for use is conveyed from the container (17) via a drain valve (18).

The compressor described above can be used as one single compressor and can be used as a component of a larger compressor, one segment. Other segments would be analogous. By combining all segments into a common pressure vessel with a single compressor control panel, thereby forming a single multi-segment compressor, thereby significantly increasing the performance and power of the newly formed multi-segment compressor.
