Description
Feb. 2, 1943. w. ELZE ARRANGEMENT FOR THE COOLING OF THE COMPRESSOR SPACE OF AIR AND GAS COMPRESSORS Filed Jan. 15, 1941 Patented Feb. 2, 1943 ARRANGEMENT FOR THE COOLING OF THE COMPRESSOR SPACE OF AIR AND GAS COMPRESSOR-S Wilhelm Elze. Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany; vested in the Alien Property Custodian Application January 15, 1941, Serial No. 374,465 In Germany March- 11, 1940 6 Claims.
The invention relates to an arrangement for the cooling of the compressor space of airand gas-compressors with suctionand pressurevalve arranged in the valve head.
Compressors of this type demand large airadmission and exhaust cross sections. For this reason so-called slitor ring-plate valves are used in the known compressors, said valves having the required large passage cross sections. These valves possess however a great inconvenience. They occupy often the whole, but at least almost the whole surface of the lower side of the valve head facing the cylinder. The cylinder bottom is therefore useless for the necessary cooling of the compression space.
According to the invention a decisive advantage in this respect is attained thereby, that the valves are constructed after the manner of the known tower-valves with air admission or exhaust points arranged the one above the other, and the free inner space of these valves is cooled by a liquid such as water. A large portion of the cylinder bottoms is thereby utilized for the cooling of the compression space and the degree of efficiency of the compressor is accordingly considerably improved. The new valve arrangement further has a strong sound damping effect which is chiefly due to the core of cooling medium in the interior of the valves and to the subdivision of the air into several air currents by the valve plates of the tower valves arranged the one above the other.
The valves are suitably constructed so that the carriers of the same, constructed hollow and iiisert-like. project into the interior of the valves and that the cooling medium flows through these carriers. The carriers for the valves, which always exist, are utilized in the best manner for the cooling, so that no other separate conduits for the cooling medium are required.
According to the invention the valve inserts are particularly suitably constructed in that their ends shaped like a truncated cone extend up to the lower side of the cylinder head. The inconvenience of increase of the clearance space of the tower valves is thereby equalized almost completely.
In order to further increase the cooling effect of the cooling liquid, the portion of the valve inserts projecting into the valves is equipped on the outer side with cooling ribs which extend in the direction of the flowing cooling medium. As these ribs are located in the path of the flowing medium, they are intensively flushed by the air so that the air is quite considerably cooled before it gets, for instance on the suction side, into the cylinder or is discharged from the cylinder on the pressure side.
A further improvement is attained according to the invention in that the cooling face of the valve inserts facing the piston projects from the piston face on the outer side. The cooling surface is thereby still further increased. This increasing may be carried through so far, that the cooling surface becomes larger than the piston face, so that the compression proceeding shifts, not as in the constructions which have become known up to the present towards the adiabate, but towards the isotherm.
The cooling intensity may be further increased thereby that down pipes project into the valve inserts and lead the cooling liquid close to the bottom of the valve inserts. It is hereby ensured, that the cooling liquid flows along the decisive cooling wall of the inserts. The guiding of the cooling liquid is practically selected so that it flows first through the suction valve insert and then through the pressure valve insert.
An embodiment of the invention is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a cross-section through a valve head equipped with the new cooling arrangement,
Fig. 2 shows in the left hand half a parallel section on line A-A and in the right hand ha t a top plan view on the valve head.
In Fig. 1, l designates the piston of the compressor. The valve head 2 mounted on the cylinders has hollow inserts 3, 4. The insert 3 serves as carrier for the suction valve 5, whereas the insert t, which is also hollow, serves as carrier for the delivering valve 6. The suction valve 5 and the delivering valve 6 are constructed after the manner of the well known tower valves. The air admission or discharge points of these valves are located the one above the other. In the form of construction shown three such admission or delivering points are provided. The tower valves are held by screws i on the inserts 3 and i.
The inserts t and t end in downward direction like truncated cones. The under side of the inserts lies on the same level as the side of the valve head facing the cylinder. The inserts 3 and t have ribs 8 in their ends shaped like a cone, said ribs extending between the tapered wall of the inserts and the valves. The longitudinal faces of the ribs extend in the direction of the flowing air. The ribs 8 are distributed on the whole circumference of the valve inserts in the required number.
The valve insert 3 is closed by a valve cover 9 and the valve insert 4 by a valve cover III. In the cover' 9 a down pipe H is inserted and in the cover III a down pipe l2. Both these down pipes, when the lids are screwed on, extend down to close proximity of the bottoms of the inserts. In the cover 9 a'passage I3 is provided which at the one end is connected with an admission l4 for the cooling liquid and at the other end with the down pipe I l. The cover 9 further has a wider passage I5 which is connected to the inner space of insert 3.
The cover II] has also two passages l6, II. The
'passage l6 communicates with the down pipe II.
The passage I1 is connected with the interior of the insert 4 and communicates with a discharge point. The passages I5 and 16 are connected the one with the other by a tubular connecting piece l8.
The liquid flows then in the direction indicated by the arrows from the admission l4 through the passage I3, the down pipe II, the inner space of the insert 3, the passage l5, the connecting piece l8, the passage IS, the down pipe I2, the inner space of the insert 4, the passage IT to the discharge point. As on the one hand the speed of air or gas at the place where the truncated cone-shaped parts of the valve in serts are situated is very great owing to the-construction of the tower valves and as on the other hand the speed of flowing of the water is also great, owing to the arrangement ofthe down pipes II and 12, the coeflicient of heat transmission is also very great It is considerably increased compared with the known cooling arrangements. Therefrom results that at the cooling faces obtained by the valve inserts great heat transmission takes place so that it makes itself perceivable in a considerable measure on the final temperature of the pressure air.
