Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for transferring energy between primary working fluid and secondary working fluid by preventing mixing or direct contact of fluids with high efficiency.
  • the device incorporates energy of either primary working fluid or secondary working fluid to increase the pressure of the other fluid.
  • These types of devices are unable to pump other fluid, for example by using low pressure fluid like rain water drained from tares or roofs of buildings and houses to ground through pipes cannot be used to pump the drinking water from lower tank to upper tank arranged for drinking water supply to the flats in the building located above the tares or roof automatically and continuously.
  • the prior art invention cannot pump the large quantity fluid at lower heights by using energy of small quantity high pressure fluid with higher efficiency, for example by using small quantity water stored at heights in lakes, dams etc. large quantity water from river cannot be pumped to lower heights i.e. from river to the bank of river.

Also sealing or precise arrangement is needed for rod and its housing to avoid leakage, as connecting rod (38) passes through pumping chambers at different pressure, this special arrangement increases cost of device and needs frequent maintenance.
  • the invention is based on the recognition of the fact that utilization of the potential (pressure) energy of one of the fluid enables forcing out of the other fluid with high pressure, i.e. the device incorporates energy of either primary working fluid or secondary working fluid to increase the pressure of the other fluid for its pumping by preventing mixing or direct contact of fluids with high efficiency.

Description

A DEVICE FOR TRANSFERRING ENERGY BETWEEN FLUIDS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device for transferring energy between primary working fluid and secondary working fluid by preventing mixing or direct contact of fluids with high efficiency.
The device incorporates energy of either primary working fluid or secondary working fluid to increase the pressure of the other fluid.
PRIOR ART
The devices available to increase the pressure of fluid like pumps or intensifiers mostly powered by electric motors or fuel engine. Devices which work without fuel or electricity for pumping the fluids like 'The hydraulic ram' uses the energy of working fluid to pump the same fluid (Generally water). These types of devices are unable to pump other fluid, for example by using low pressure fluid like rain water drained from tares or roofs of buildings and houses to ground through pipes cannot be used to pump the drinking water from lower tank to upper tank arranged for drinking water supply to the flats in the building located above the tares or roof automatically and continuously.
The prior art invention cannot pump the large quantity fluid at lower heights by using energy of small quantity high pressure fluid with higher efficiency, for example by using small quantity water stored at heights in lakes, dams etc. large quantity water from river cannot be pumped to lower heights i.e. from river to the bank of river. This should be noted that the examples maintained above are the examples of the field where the present invention may be used. Whereas a device for transferring energy between fluids is generally applicable to any situation where the low cost mean is needed to increase the pressure of large or less quantity fluid by using energy of high pressure less quantity fluid or low pressure large quantity fluid respectively.
In the prior art pistons of different diameters house in pumping chambers or cylinders are connected to each other by rods to transfer energy from one of the fluid to other fluid in order to increase its pressure as well in diaphragm pumps, diaphragms are interconnected by rod which passes through both pumping chambers, so to avoid leakage of fluid from one of the chamber to other sealing is provided, the seal or like arrangement need frequent maintenance as well as special lubrication arrangement , due to which this kind of devices are less efficient and not suitable for low , very low pressure and expensive. Hence in operation of prior inventions at least piston, housing of reciprocating assembly ,pumping chambers , linking rod or like for connecting pistons or diaphragms comes in contact with working fluids causes contamination or mixing of fluids, which is serious problem specially in medicine industry. In the prior art inventions working fluids are not forced in or pressurized out along the axial line (axis) of piston causes loss in pressure i.e. energy, also inlet and outlet pipes connected to the devices for fluid flow are having sudden openings and contractions causes loss of pressure energy. Hydraulically driven, pneumatically driven and fluid driven or like pumps transfers the energy of one of the fluid (like air) to other fluid. However, none of the prior art teach or suggest the friction free movement of reciprocating means for transferring energy of one of the working fluid to other with high efficiency.
U.S.Patent No. 5,558,506, issued to John M. Simmons on sep. 24, 1996 shows a pneumatically shifted reciprocating pump, actuated by air pressure. This fluid pump includes reciprocating left and right bellows (22,24) attached to fluid pumping pistons (26 and 28) located in pumping chambers (30 and 32), connected together by a connecting rod (38), said rod (38) passes through both pumping chambers, needs special lubrication arrangement, this invention suggest use of Teflon or other soft material. Also sealing or precise arrangement is needed for rod and its housing to avoid leakage, as connecting rod (38) passes through pumping chambers at different pressure, this special arrangement increases cost of device and needs frequent maintenance. Said bellows are not provided with any of the means to prevent their ballooning, tilt and wobbling due to high pressure. As both bellows are connected to piston of same surface area, intensification is impossible. Also the piston and connecting rods slidably moves with respect to their housing causes friction and hence wear and tear. Thus John M. Simmons fails in providing free movement of reciprocating piston and rod together, which transfers the energy of air to pumping fluid provided at fluid pump intake (108).
Therefore there is need for device to overcome these problems. As such, there is need for highly energy efficient inexpensive device for transferring energy between fluids at optimum energy utilization. The above problems and limitation of prior art devices are overcome by the present invention.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
The invention is based on the recognition of the fact that utilization of the potential (pressure) energy of one of the fluid enables forcing out of the other fluid with high pressure, i.e. the device incorporates energy of either primary working fluid or secondary working fluid to increase the pressure of the other fluid for its pumping by preventing mixing or direct contact of fluids with high efficiency.
A further object of the invention is to enable the vertical and horizontal delivery of fluid substance at optimum energy utilization.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
This invention is directed to a device for transferring energy between fluids, by preventing mixing or direct contact of fluids, here after referred as the fluid energy transformer, which transfers the energy from high pressure small quantity secondary fluid to any large quantity primary fluid to raise its pressure or transfers energy from low pressure large quantity primary working fluid to other small quantity secondary working fluid to raise its pressure with high efficiency automatically and continuously.
Fluid energy transformer consists of three cylinders, four three way valves, and two pairs of bellows. In a pair of bellows, closed end of each bellows is fixed on surface of circular disc to form end to end configuration. Said circular disc from each pair is connected by linking rods such that equal axial expansion or contraction is produced in bellows. Working fluid entering in one of the bellows in pair produces axial expansion in that bellows causing axial contraction of other bellows in the same pair results in increase in pressure of working fluid stored in it to pump out. During this process reciprocating means of discs along with linking rods follows frictionless reciprocating motion as reinforcing rings and discs are provided with bearings. The dogs on the linking roads guides four three way valves to one of the fixed position by moving 'T' shaped rods connected to their respective leavers, causes change in direction of motion of reciprocating means of discs, due to path reversal of respective incoming and outgoing fluid flows from corresponding bellows and said reciprocating means of discs follows backward path, again at the end of backward motion four three way valves get shifted to their first fixed position and same cycle repeats.

Said levers (19, 20, 21,22) are replaced by gearwheels (19a) connected to spool of valve so that movement of 'T' shaped rod with saw tooth (23a) due to engagement with said dogs (28,27) and (30, 29) fixed on linking rods (25,26) causes shifting of three way valves (15,16,17,18) from one of the fixed position to other without dead stop at the end of the every stroke of said reciprocating means of discs
First and second two way valve (50 and 51) connected to secondary fluid inlet pipe (1) and primary fluid inlet pipe (2) respectively for controlling secondary fluid and primary fluid flow.
In operation, initially valves (50) and (51) are opened and all the air from all bellows, pipes and valves is exited by replacing corresponding fluids in conventional manner by using known art. At the start of energy transforming process from one of the working fluid i.e. primary or secondary to other, a reciprocating means of discs(63a,63b) including bellows (52a,54a and 52b,54b), discs (63a,63b), rods (25,26) is at its left most position placing the 'T' shaped rods (23 and 24) to their leftmost position and levers of three way valves (19, 20, 21 and 22) to their first fixed positions as viewed in fig.1.At this point large quantity primary fluid communication exists between its source and initially stored primary fluid in bellows (52a) through pipe 2, second three way valve (16), pipes (7 and 8). Initially stored primary fluid in bellows (52b) is ejected from primary fluid outlet pipe (14) via bore (36), pipe (39, 10) and fourth three way valve (18).
The low quantity secondary fluid exists communication between its source and secondary fluid stored in bellows (54b) via pipe (1, 4), third three way valve (17), pipe (11) and conical end (37), also the initially stored secondary fluid in bellow (54a) is ejected from secondary fluid outlet pipe (13) via conical end (38), pipe (12), first three way valve (15) and pipe (6) with high pressure.
In the process at the first fixed position of first, second, third and fourth three way valves (15, 16, 17 and 18), when energy of large quantity primary working fluid is greater than the small quantity secondary working fluid, said reciprocating means of discs is moved towards right due to force exerted by primary working fluid entering in first bellows (52a), causes increase in pressure of secondary working fluid stored in second bellows (54a) and get ejected with high pressure through pipe (13) via end (38), bore (45),pipe(12), first three way valve (15)and pipe (6), at the same time low pressure (or energy) secondary working fluid enters in third bellows (54b) and primary working fluid stored in fourth bellows (52b) get exhausted to atmosphere through pipe (14). When the said a reciprocating means of discs (63a,63b) reaches to the rightmost position the first and third dog (28 and 30) shifts 'T' shaped rods (23) and (24) along with leavers (19, 20, 21 and 22) to their second fixed position.
At the second fixed position of levers (19, 20, 21, 22) of first, second, third and fourth three way valves (15, 16, 17 and 18)as shown in fig '2'. Primary working fluid exists communication between its source and primary fluid in fourth bellows (52b) through pipe (2), second three way valve (16), pipes (5, 39) and bore (36) ,also initially stored primary fluid in first bellows (52a) in previous cycle is exhausted from primary fluid outlet pipe (14) via bore (35), pipes (8, 9) and valve (18). The secondary fluid exists communication between its source and secondary fluid stored in second bellows (54a) via pipes (1, 3), first three way valve (15), pipe (12), also secondary fluid from third bellows (54b) is ejected with high pressure through outlet pipe (13) via pipe (49), third three way valve (17), pipe (1 1) and conical end (37). The primary fluid entering in the fourth bellows (52b) moves the said reciprocating assembly towards left causes increase in pressure of secondary fluid stored in bellows (54b) , at the same time primary fluid from first bellows (52a) exhausts to atmosphere through pipe (14) via pipes (8, 9) and forth three way valve (18). Low pressure secondary fluid enters in bellows (54a) from its source via pipes (1 , 3), valve (15), pipe (12) and conical end (38). When the said a reciprocating means of discs (63a, 63b) reaches to leftmost position second and fourth dog (27 and 29) moves 'T' shaped rod (23 and 24) respectively causes shifting of leavers (19, 20, 21and 22) to their first fixed position and same cycle repeats automatically and continuously due to which energy transfers from primary working fluid to secondary working fluid.
At the first fixed position of first, second, third and fourth three way valves (15, 16, 17 and 18), when energy of small quantity secondary working fluid is greater than the large quantity primary working fluid, said reciprocating means of discs is moved towards right due to force exerted by secondary working fluid entering in third bellows (54b) from inner side during first cycle as shown in fig 1, causes increase in pressure of primary working fluid stored in fourth bellows (52b) and get ejected with high pressure through primary working fluid outlet pipe (14) via bore (36), pipes (39, 10) and fourth three way valve (18), at the same time low pressure (or energy) primary working fluid enters in first bellows (52a) through pipe 2, valve (16), pipe (7 and 8) and secondary working fluid stored in second bellows (54a) get exhausted to atmosphere through secondary working fluid outlet pipe (13) via conical end (38), bore (45), pipe (12), three way valve (15) and pipe (6). When the said reciprocating means of discs reaches to the rightmost position the first and third dog (28) and (30) shifts 'T' shaped rods (23) and (24) along with levers (19, 20, 21 and 22) to their second fixed position.

In this situation when secondary working fluid entering in the second bellows (54a) moves the said a reciprocating means of discs (63a,63b) towards left causes increase in pressure of primary working fluid stored in first bellows (52a), at the same time secondary working fluid from third bellows (54b) exhausts to atmosphere through secondary working fluid outlet pipe (13) via conical end (37), bore (46), pipe (1 1), third three way valve (17) and pipe (49). Low pressure primary working fluid enters in fourth bellows (52b) from its supply via pipes (2), three way valve (16), pipe (5, 39) and bore (36). When the said reciprocating means of discs reaches to leftmost position second and fourth dog (27) and (29) moves 'T' shaped rod (23) and (24) respectively causes shifting of levers (19, 20 , 21 and 22) to their first fixed position and same cycle repeats automatically and continuously due to which energy transfers from secondary working fluid to primary working fluid. Therefore as per the requirement of pressure, pressure of any one of two working fluids will be increased by utilizing energy of other fluid.
