Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for compressing combustion air, in particular a device for compressing charge air for a motor vehicle internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the exhaust gas turbocharger has a turbine which is arranged in the exhaust gas flow of the internal combustion engine and operates a compressor which is arranged in the charge air supply of the internal combustion engine.
- Electric motor as well as the possibility of generating a high electrical power requirement, which is necessary due to the large moment of inertia of the turbine of an exhaust gas turbocharger.
- a bypass solution is used, for example, to feed the charge air directly to the exhaust gas turbocharger, bypassing the additional electrical compressor that is then not required.
- the drive power is limited to a few kW due to the additional electrical system load. This is important in particular when the compressor wheel of an additional electrical compressor starts up, since the start-up time depends mainly on the available drive power and the mass moment of inertia of the rotor to be accelerated
- the device according to the invention for compressing combustion air in particular for compressing charge air for a motor vehicle internal combustion engine with the features of claim 1, enables reduced electrical energy consumption when accelerating the additional electrical compressor.
- the configuration of the device according to the invention, in particular the connecting means according to the invention, which make it possible to guide compressed charge air into the compression space of the electric charge air compressor, makes it possible to accelerate the start-up of the additional electrical compressor by means of pre-acceleration to allow the introduced, compressed air. This reduces both the required acceleration energy of the additional electric compressor and its response time until it reaches its maximum speed.
- the upshifting process during an acceleration phase of the vehicle is generally preceded by a reduction in the boost pressure.
- a so-called diverter valve has been opened to avoid the so-called “compressor pumping" when gas is removed from the boost pressure area.
- the charge pressure carrying volume is evacuated to approximately ambient pressure. The pneumatic energy released by this measure was not used.
- the device according to the invention it is possible to use the pneumatic energy of the charge air system to assist in accelerating the additional electric compressor. Since the upshifting process is usually preceded by a boost pressure reduction via the air recirculation valve during an acceleration phase of the vehicle, the air to be discharged can be used to accelerate the electric charge air compressor for the upcoming acceleration process of the motor vehicle. It is thus possible to realize the rebuilding of the boost pressure, which is important for the acceleration phase of the motor vehicle, with the support of the additional electric compressor much faster.
- the pneumatic energy contained in the compressed charge air can be used effectively to pre-accelerate the electric auxiliary compressor.
- the connecting means open into an annular channel of the housing of the electric charge air compressor.
- the connecting means advantageously open on the low-pressure side of the compression space of the electric charge air compressor. Appropriate openings in the wall of the compressor chamber can achieve that a directed air flow strikes, for example, the compressor blades of the compressor wheel of the electric charge air compressor and thus supports the run-up of the compressor wheel.
- the annular duct of the compressor, into which the connecting means open, advantageously has a plurality of inlet points for the compressed charge air distributed over its circumference.
- the inlet points are to be designed in such a way that a jet-like air flow is formed to accelerate the compressor wheel.
- the connecting means which make it possible to conduct compressed charge air into the compression space of the electric charge air compressor, has a valve which prevents the air from the electric charge air compressor from flowing back towards the second charge air compressor via these connecting means.
- This valve or the valves can advantageously be designed as an electronically controllable diaphragm valve (s).
- valve or the valves for preventing backflow can advantageously be integrated directly into the housing of the electric charge air compressor.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the device according to the invention in a detailed representation.
- FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention for compressing combustion air, in particular for compressing charge air for an automotive internal combustion engine, in a simplified, schematic detailed illustration.
- the charge air to be compressed is fed to a first compressor 12 via an intake opening 10.
- This first compressor 12 is an electrically operated, so-called additional compressor 14.
- the additional electrical compressor 14 essentially consists of a compressor unit 16 and an electrical drive unit 18.
- the charge air to be compressed is fed to the compressor chamber 22 of the additional electrical compressor 14 via an inlet opening 20.
- a compressor wheel 24 is arranged in the compressor chamber 22 and is driven by the electric drive unit 18 via a shaft.
- the charge air to be compressed is in the
- the additional electrical compressor 14 of the device according to the invention is connected via connecting means 30 to a second charge air compressor 32, which in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 is designed as an exhaust gas turbocharger 34.
- the exhaust gas turbocharger 34 has a compressor wheel 38 which is arranged in a compressor space 36 and is driven via a shaft 40 by a turbine 42 which in the exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine (not shown) Motor vehicle is arranged. In a known manner, the kinetic energy of the hot exhaust gas stream 44 serves to drive the turbine 42, which in turn can thus accelerate the compressor wheel 38 of the exhaust gas turbocharger 34.
- the air pre-compressed by the electrical additional compressor 14 is in the
- Compressor chamber 36 of exhaust-gas turbocharger 34 is further compressed and fed via connecting means 46 to the internal combustion engine (not shown in FIG. 1).
- These connecting means 46 can also have, for example, a charge air cooler (not shown) or a throttle valve for the charge air flow.
- a valve 48 which the volume flow of the exhaust gas through a
- Bypass channel 50 regulates around the drive turbine of the exhaust gas turbocharger 34, the compressor output of the exhaust gas turbocharger can be controlled.
- This two-stage device for compressing charge air makes it possible to largely avoid the so-called turbocharger hole, which occurs at low engine speeds and thus with a low exhaust gas flow 44.
- turbocharger hole which occurs at low engine speeds and thus with a low exhaust gas flow 44.
- the additional electric compressor 14 is turned on to achieve a desired pre-compression of the charge air.
- This additional electrical compressor makes it possible to compensate for the disadvantage of a delayed and inadequate response behavior of an exhaust gas turbocharger.
- the electrical auxiliary compressor is therefore only switched on for a short time due to its task and requires the fastest possible response characteristics. This process is typical of acceleration situations and occurs particularly practically with all gear changes (upshifting) of the vehicle. If you look at the switch-on behavior of the additional electric compressor, you can see that especially in the
- the electric auxiliary compressor must be accelerated to approx. 60,000 rpm with every full load acceleration.
- a mechanical rotational energy in the range of 400 to 500 watt seconds is absorbed, which must be made available by the electrical on-board system of the motor vehicle.
- the upshift during one The acceleration phase is usually preceded by a boost pressure reduction via a so-called air recirculation valve. So far, to avoid compressor pumping, for example, when “taking gas off”, the boost pressure in the system has been reduced by opening the so-called diverter valve (dump valve). As a result, the boost pressure-carrying volume is evacuated to approximately ambient pressure used.
- connecting means 52 are provided, which make it possible to direct already compressed charge air directly into the compression space of the electric charge air compressor, in order to enable the additional electric compressor to start up more quickly by pre-acceleration.
- the connecting means 52 branch off from the connecting means 46, which connect the exhaust gas turbocharger to the internal combustion engine.
- the connecting means 52 lead via a valve 54 directly into the compressor chamber 22 of the additional electrical compressor 14.
- openings 56 can be provided, which target the compressed and branched off via the connecting means 52 charge air lead into the ring channel 26 and then onto the compressor blades of the compressor wheel 24.
- This nozzle-shaped introduction of the compressed charge air onto the compressor blades of the compressor wheel of the electrical auxiliary compressor enables the auxiliary compressor to be pre-accelerated, which leads to faster startup, that is to say to a shorter response characteristic of the auxiliary compressor.
- valve 14 integrated and can for example also include one or more valves, which avoids a backflow of the charge air to be compressed via the connecting means 52.
- care must be taken to ensure that the charge air to be accelerated by the additional electrical compressor is discharged through the outlet opening 28 of the additional compressor and can thus be supplied to the downstream exhaust gas turbocharger 34. On Flow of the charge air compressed by the additional electrical compressor via the connecting means 52 must be prevented.
- the connecting means 52 comprise a storage volume 58, into which compressed charge air is directed and then can be stored at high pressure.
- the compressed charge air can then be emitted directly into the compressor chamber of the additional electrical compressor at a desired point in time.
- the upshifting process during an acceleration phase is usually immediately preceded by a boost pressure reduction via a recirculation valve and then the boost pressure is rebuilt with the support of the additional electrical compressor.
- the charge pressure reduction can be advantageous by the device according to the invention
- the pneumatic energy of the charge air system includes even when considering a moderate efficiency to transfer its energy to the electrical
- the device according to the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
- the device according to the invention is not limited to the use of an additional electrical compressor and an exhaust gas turbocharger.
