Definitions
- the present invention relates to an engine-driven electricity generation system and, more particularly, to an engine-driven electricity generation system that can selectively use diesel and LNG as fuel by recycling a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle.
- An aspect of the present invention provides an engine-driven electricity generation system using both diesel and LNG that can selectively use diesel and LNG by recycling a diesel engine from a scrapped diesel vehicle.
- Another aspect of the present invention provides an engine-driven electricity generation system that can accelerate ignition of LNG by heating intake air using a restored exhaust gas and can save fuel by reducing rotational friction of a crankshaft by reducing viscosity of oil by heating an oil pan using an exhaust gas.
- an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG including: An engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG, the system comprising: a scrapped diesel engine obtained from a scrapped diesel vehicle; a power generator connected to the scrapped diesel engine and generating electricity; an LNG tank keeping LNG as fuel for the scrapped diesel engine; a diesel tank keeping diesel as fuel for the scrapped diesel engine; an intake pipe for in-taking external air and then supplying the intake external air to the scrapped diesel engine; an exhaust pipe for discharging an exhaust gas produced by operation of the scrapped diesel engine to the outside; an electric heater heating intake air flowing through the intake pipe to firstly start the scrapped diesel engine when LNG is used as fuel for the scrapped diesel engine; a heat exchanger heating the intake air flowing through the intake pipe by restoring a exhaust gas discharged through the exhaust pipe after the scrapped diesel engine is started; a first solenoid
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the entire configuration of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a control system of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention.
- an engine-driven electricity generation system includes a scrapped diesel engine 10 , a power generator 20 , an LNG tank 30 , a diesel tank 40 , an intake pipe 60 , an exhaust pipe 70 , an electric heater 62 , a heat exchanger 64 , a first solenoid valve 82 , an LNG injection unit 34 , an LNG supplying pipe 32 , a diesel supplying pipe 42 , a first valve unit 33 , a second valve unit 43 , and a controller 100 .
- the scrapped diesel engine 10 is recycled by restoring a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle and then repairing it and includes, similar to common diesel engines, a cylinder 11 , a piston 12 , an intake valve 13 , an injector 14 , an exhaust valve 16 , a crankshaft 17 , a crankcase 18 , and an oil pan 19 .
- the configuration and operation way of the diesel engine are well known in the art, so detailed description is not provided.
- an intake pipe 60 for in-taking external air and then guiding the intake external air inside is connected to a side of the top of the cylinder 11 and is opened/closed by the intake valve 13 .
- an exhaust pipe 70 for discharging an exhaust gas produced by explosion in the engine to the outside is connected to another side of the top of the cylinder 11 and is opened/closed by the exhaust valve 16 .
- the power generator 20 generates electricity using torque from the scrapped diesel engine 10 and may include an ESS 21 (Energy Storage System) to keep the produced electricity.
- the produced electricity in the power generator 20 may be supplied to home appliances.
- the engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention is configured to use both diesel and LNG. Accordingly, the engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention includes the diesel tank 40 and the LNG tank 30 , in which the diesel supplying tank 40 is connected to the injector 14 through a diesel pipe 42 and the LNG tank 30 is connected to the LNG injection unit 34 through an LNG supplying pipe 32 .
- the LNG injection unit 34 is inserted into the LNG supplying pipe 32 and injects LNG in the LNG supplying pipe 32 . Therefore, LNG injected in the LNG supplying pipe 32 is mixed with intake air being supplied through the intake pipe 60 .
- the engine in the system can operate and generate electricity without specific measures because the engine is originally a diesel engine.
- LNG in order to use LNG as fuel, it is not easy to ignite LNG in a diesel engine because LNG is relatively higher in ignition point than diesel. Accordingly, intake air to be mixed with LNG is heated before being supplied in order to accelerate ignition of the LNG in the present invention. Therefore, the engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention additionally includes the electric heater 62 .
- the electric heater 62 is disposed on the intake pipe 60 , and heats and supplies intake air to be mixed with LNG to the scrapped diesel engine 10 , and it was found that LNG was ignited well when the temperature of the heated intake air was about 250 to 300° C.
- a temperature sensor 66 may be further disposed on the intake pipe 60 to measure the temperature of the intake air heated by the electric heater 62 .
- the present invention uses the way of additionally restoring an exhaust gas produced by operation of the diesel engine and heating intake air.
- the temperature of an exhaust gas produced when a diesel engine is operated is about 800° C. and it is possible to reduce the consumption of electric energy that is consumed by the electric heater 62 by restoring the heat of the exhaust gas and heating intake air using the heat.
- a heat exchanger 64 is disposed in the intake pipe 60 and a first heat exchange pipe 80 diverging from the exhaust pipe 70 is connected to the heat exchanger 64 .
- the exhaust gas flows through the exhaust pipe 70 and is then supplied to the heat exchanger 64 through the first heat exchange pipe 80 diverged from the exhaust pipe 70 .
- the heat exchanger 64 takes heat from the exhaust gas and heats the intake air flowing through the intake pipe 60 using the heat.
- the exhaust gas that finishes exchanging heat is again returned to the exhaust pipe 70 through a first return pipe 84 connected between the heat exchanger 64 and the exhaust pipe 70 and then discharged outside.
- a first solenoid valve 82 may be disposed in the first heat exchange pipe 80 to selectively heat the intake air, if necessary.
- an engine start-sensing unit 86 for sensing whether the scrapped diesel engine 10 has been started may be further provided.
- An electronic start-sensing circuit included in the scrapped diesel engine 10 may be used as the engine start-sensing unit 86 , and various sensors that sense physical quantities from which starting of the scrapped diesel engine 10 can be inferred such as a gas sensor that senses an exhaust gas discharged through the exhaust pipe 70 , an RPM sensor that is connected to the crankshaft 17 or the rotation axis of the power generator 20 and senses RPM, or a current sensor that is connected to the output terminal of the power generator 20 and senses produced electricity may be used.
- a controller 100 that is described below stops the operation of the electric heater 62 and opens the first solenoid valve so that the exhaust gas discharged through the exhaust pipe 70 is supplied to the heat exchanger 64 , whereby the intake air flowing through the intake pipe 60 is heated.
- the oil pan 19 is disposed under the crankcase 18 in a common diesel engine, as shown in FIG. 1 , and the oil pan 19 is a part for keeping oil to reduce rotational friction of the crankshaft 17 .
- the viscosity of oil is in inverse proportion to temperature, so when the temperature of oil is low, the viscosity is high, and an increase in viscosity of oil deteriorates lubrication, thereby increasing friction of the crankshaft 17 . Accordingly, a larger force is required to operate the crankshaft 17 , so the engine consumes more fuel.
- the present invention additionally restores an exhaust gas and increases the temperature of the oil stored in the oil pan 19 by heating the oil pan 19 using the exhaust gas in order to solve this problem.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a Continuation-In-Part Application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/163,669 filed on May 25, 2016 under 35 U.S.C. § 120, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0086505 filed on Jun. 18, 2015, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to an engine-driven electricity generation system and, more particularly, to an engine-driven electricity generation system that can selectively use diesel and LNG as fuel by recycling a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle.
- There is a need for a review of the ways of generating electricity due to an increase in cost for electricity generation and environmental regulations such as total CO2 emission control due to a continuous increase in oil price. Existing common facilities for thermal power generation or for power generation using renewable energy require a great amount of early investment cost or are difficult to be continuously and stably supplied with power. Accordingly, the government regulates enhancement of post management at facilities that consume a large amount of power so that self-power generators at the facilities can generate power for one hour for the peak time, but the costs for purchasing and operating the self-power generators are very high, and thus, use of the self-power generators have been decreased. Therefore, a concern about an engine-driven electricity generator that uses the engine of a scrapped vehicle as a power generator has been increased to reduce the costs for purchasing and operating a self-power generator. However, engine-driven electricity generators that have been developed up to now have been designed to use only one of diesel and LNG, so there has been a limit in selection of fuel.

- The above and other aspects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the entire configuration of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a control system of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention. - Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , an engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention includes a scrappeddiesel engine 10, apower generator 20, anLNG tank 30, adiesel tank 40, anintake pipe 60, anexhaust pipe 70, anelectric heater 62, aheat exchanger 64, afirst solenoid valve 82, anLNG injection unit 34, anLNG supplying pipe 32, adiesel supplying pipe 42, afirst valve unit 33, asecond valve unit 43, and acontroller 100. - The scrapped
diesel engine 10 is recycled by restoring a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle and then repairing it and includes, similar to common diesel engines, acylinder 11, apiston 12, anintake valve 13, aninjector 14, anexhaust valve 16, acrankshaft 17, acrankcase 18, and anoil pan 19. The configuration and operation way of the diesel engine are well known in the art, so detailed description is not provided. Here, anintake pipe 60 for in-taking external air and then guiding the intake external air inside is connected to a side of the top of thecylinder 11 and is opened/closed by theintake valve 13. Further, anexhaust pipe 70 for discharging an exhaust gas produced by explosion in the engine to the outside is connected to another side of the top of thecylinder 11 and is opened/closed by theexhaust valve 16. - The
power generator 20 generates electricity using torque from the scrappeddiesel engine 10 and may include an ESS 21 (Energy Storage System) to keep the produced electricity. The produced electricity in thepower generator 20 may be supplied to home appliances. - The engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention is configured to use both diesel and LNG. Accordingly, the engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention includes the
diesel tank 40 and theLNG tank 30, in which thediesel supplying tank 40 is connected to theinjector 14 through adiesel pipe 42 and theLNG tank 30 is connected to theLNG injection unit 34 through anLNG supplying pipe 32. TheLNG injection unit 34 is inserted into theLNG supplying pipe 32 and injects LNG in theLNG supplying pipe 32. Therefore, LNG injected in theLNG supplying pipe 32 is mixed with intake air being supplied through theintake pipe 60. - When diesel is used as fuel, the engine in the system can operate and generate electricity without specific measures because the engine is originally a diesel engine. However, in order to use LNG as fuel, it is not easy to ignite LNG in a diesel engine because LNG is relatively higher in ignition point than diesel. Accordingly, intake air to be mixed with LNG is heated before being supplied in order to accelerate ignition of the LNG in the present invention. Therefore, the engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention additionally includes the
electric heater 62. - The
electric heater 62 is disposed on theintake pipe 60, and heats and supplies intake air to be mixed with LNG to the scrappeddiesel engine 10, and it was found that LNG was ignited well when the temperature of the heated intake air was about 250 to 300° C. Atemperature sensor 66 may be further disposed on theintake pipe 60 to measure the temperature of the intake air heated by theelectric heater 62. - As described above, when LNG is used as fuel, intake air is heated by the
electric heater 62 and early ignition is performed, thereby starting the engine and operating thepower generator 20. However, according to this configuration, the consumption amount of electric energy for operating theelectric heater 62 is increased. In order to reduce such consumption of electric energy, the present invention uses the way of additionally restoring an exhaust gas produced by operation of the diesel engine and heating intake air. The temperature of an exhaust gas produced when a diesel engine is operated is about 800° C. and it is possible to reduce the consumption of electric energy that is consumed by theelectric heater 62 by restoring the heat of the exhaust gas and heating intake air using the heat. - To this end, as shown in
FIG. 1 , aheat exchanger 64 is disposed in theintake pipe 60 and a firstheat exchange pipe 80 diverging from theexhaust pipe 70 is connected to theheat exchanger 64. When an exhaust gas is produced when the engine is firstly started, the exhaust gas flows through theexhaust pipe 70 and is then supplied to theheat exchanger 64 through the firstheat exchange pipe 80 diverged from theexhaust pipe 70. Theheat exchanger 64 takes heat from the exhaust gas and heats the intake air flowing through theintake pipe 60 using the heat. The exhaust gas that finishes exchanging heat is again returned to theexhaust pipe 70 through afirst return pipe 84 connected between theheat exchanger 64 and theexhaust pipe 70 and then discharged outside. Afirst solenoid valve 82 may be disposed in the firstheat exchange pipe 80 to selectively heat the intake air, if necessary. - As described above, when the engine is firstly started, intake air is heated by the
electric heater 62, and after the engine is started, the intake air is heated by the heat of an exhaust gas, so, in this case, an engine start-sensing unit 86 for sensing whether the scrappeddiesel engine 10 has been started may be further provided. - An electronic start-sensing circuit included in the scrapped
diesel engine 10 may be used as the engine start-sensing unit 86, and various sensors that sense physical quantities from which starting of the scrappeddiesel engine 10 can be inferred such as a gas sensor that senses an exhaust gas discharged through theexhaust pipe 70, an RPM sensor that is connected to thecrankshaft 17 or the rotation axis of thepower generator 20 and senses RPM, or a current sensor that is connected to the output terminal of thepower generator 20 and senses produced electricity may be used. When the engine start-sensing unit 86 senses that the scrappeddiesel engine 10 has been started, acontroller 100 that is described below stops the operation of theelectric heater 62 and opens the first solenoid valve so that the exhaust gas discharged through theexhaust pipe 70 is supplied to theheat exchanger 64, whereby the intake air flowing through theintake pipe 60 is heated. - On the other hand, the
oil pan 19 is disposed under thecrankcase 18 in a common diesel engine, as shown inFIG. 1 , and theoil pan 19 is a part for keeping oil to reduce rotational friction of thecrankshaft 17. In general, the viscosity of oil is in inverse proportion to temperature, so when the temperature of oil is low, the viscosity is high, and an increase in viscosity of oil deteriorates lubrication, thereby increasing friction of thecrankshaft 17. Accordingly, a larger force is required to operate thecrankshaft 17, so the engine consumes more fuel. The present invention additionally restores an exhaust gas and increases the temperature of the oil stored in theoil pan 19 by heating theoil pan 19 using the exhaust gas in order to solve this problem. - To this end, as shown in
FIG. 1 , theexhaust pipe 70 and theoil pan 19 are connected to a secondheat exchange pipe 90. The secondheat exchange pipe 90 diverges from theexhaust pipe 70, turns around the outer side (bottom or the circumference) of theoil pan 19, and then returns to theexhaust pipe 70. Accordingly, the exhaust gas produced by operation of the diesel engine is supplied to theoil pan 19 through the secondheat exchange pipe 90, heats the oil in theoil pan 19 through heat exchange, returns to theexhaust pipe 70, and is then discharged outside. Since the viscosity of the heated oil decreases, friction of thecrankshaft 17 is decreased, so the fuel that is consumed by the engine can be reduced. On the other hand, asecond solenoid valve 92 may be disposed in the secondheat exchange pipe 90 to selectively heat theoil pan 19, if necessary. - The configuration of an engine-driven electricity generation system using the scrapped
diesel engine 10 capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention was described above and a method of controlling and operating the engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention is described hereafter with reference toFIGS. 1 to 3 .FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a control system of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention andFIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of an engine-driven electricity generation system using a diesel engine from a scrapped vehicle capable of using both diesel and LNG according to the present invention. - The entire engine-driven electricity generation system according to the present invention is controlled by the
controller 100. Thecontroller 100 electronically controls basic operation of a diesel engine such as intake, exhaust, fuel injection, and operation of thecylinder 11 in the engine. Further, as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , thecontroller 100 controls theelectric heater 62, thefirst valve unit 33, thesecond valve unit 92, thefirst solenoid valve 82, and thesecond solenoid valve 92 in response to control orders from asetting unit 120, through which operation of the diesel engine and selection of fuel can be set, and sensing signals from thetemperature sensor 66 and the engine start sensor, and displays the current operation mode or state of the diesel engine and thepower generator 20 on adisplay unit 110. - In more detail, a worker initially selects fuel through the
setting unit 120. When diesel is selected as the fuel, the diesel is directly injected into the engine without specific additional measures, thereby starting the engine and generating electricity, so the detailed description is not provided. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , when LNG is selected as the fuel (ST1), thecontroller 100 controls thefirst valve unit 33 to open theLNG supplying pipe 32 connected to theLNG tank 30 so that LNG is supplied to theLNG injection unit 34. Further, at the same time, thecontroller 100 operates theelectric heater 62 to heat the intake air flowing through the intake pipe 60 (ST2). Since thetemperature sensor 66 is disposed in theintake pipe 60, as described above, when the temperature of the intake air is increased over a predetermined temperature level by theelectric heater 62, thecontroller 100 opens theintake valve 13 and operates theLNG injection unit 34 so that the LNG is mixed with the heated intake air, and then, the LNG mixed with the heated intake air is injected into the engine (ST3). Accordingly, explosion and ignition occur with compression of thepiston 12 in thecylinder 11 of the scrappeddiesel engine 10, whereby the engine is started (ST4). - When the engine is firstly started, the
controller 100 stops the operation of theelectric heater 62 in response to a signal from the engine start-sensingunit 86 and opens thefirst solenoid valve 82 and thesecond solenoid valve 92, whereby the exhaust gas discharged through theexhaust pipe 70 from the engine is sent to the firstheat exchange pipe 80 and the secondheat exchange pipe 90. The exhaust gas flowing through the firstheat exchange pipe 80 is supplied to theheat exchanger 64 disposed in theintake pipe 60 and heats the intake air flowing through theintake pipe 60 by exchanging heat (ST5). The intake air heated by the exhaust gas is mixed with LNG and injected into the engine (ST3), thereby repeating ignition and operation of the engine (ST4). Further, as the engine is operated, thepower generator 20 is operated (ST6), thereby generating electricity. - According to the present invention, it is possible to selectively use diesel and LNG by recycling a diesel engine obtained from a scrapped diesel vehicle, and particularly, it is possible to accelerate ignition of LNG by heating intake air with an electric heater when staring the engine and heating the intake air by restoring an exhaust gas after starting the engine. Further, it is possible to reduce rotational friction of a crankshaft and save fuel by reducing the viscosity of oil by heating an oil pan using an exhaust gas.
- Specific embodiments of the present invention were described above. However, the spirit and scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be changed and modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- Therefore, the embodiments described above are provided for those skilled in the art to completely understand the present invention and should be construed as not limiting the present invention, but as examples in all respects, and the present invention should be defined by claims.
