Abstract

A fuel system comprises a main compressed gas tank (3) which is connected to a combustion engine (1), as well as a reserve compressed gas tank 5 which is connected to the main compressed gas tank (3) and to the combustion engine (1). One-way valves (7) and (11) respectively, are positioned between the main compressed gas tank (3) and the combustion engine (1) and between the main compressed gas tank (3) and the reserve compressed gas tank (5), and a two-way valve (9) is positioned between the reserve compressed gas tank (5) and the combustion engine (1). If the main compressed gas tank has been driven empty, the driver is to close the switch (13) subsequent to which the two-way valve 9 opens the connection between the reserve compressed gas tank (5) and the combustion engine (1). At the same time a signal is transmitted drawing the driver's attention to the fact that the main compressed gas tank needs replacing. After the main compressed gas tank (3) has been replaced, first the reserve compressed gas tank is to be refilled. Prior to this operation the reserve compressed gas tank is to be vented. The venting operation is effected by temporarily opening a gauging valve (12) present on the reserve compressed gas tank (5).

Fuel system, more particularly for a vehicle
DESCRIPTION: Field of the invention
The invention relates to a fuel system, more particularly for a vehicle comprising a combustion engine, which fuel system comprises a main compressed gas tank as well as a main-compressed-gas-tank-connected connector piece that can be connected to the combustion engine, and a reserve compressed gas tank which is connected to the main compressed gas tank and to the connector piece, a one-way valve being positioned between the main compressed gas tank and the connector piece, which one-way valve blocks the gas flow in the direction from the combustion engine to the main compressed gas tank, and a shut-off valve being positioned between the reserve compressed gas tank and the connector piece, which shut-off valve is capable of shutting off or opening the connection between the reserve compressed gas tank and the connector piece.
State of the art
A fuel system of this type is known from US 5 704 387 A and is used, for example, in lift trucks. Lift trucks are often used inside a hall as a result of which they drive on compressed gas to cause less pollution. If the main compressed gas tank is nearly empty, it should be filled if it is fixedly attached to the lift truck or it should be replaced by another filled compressed gas tank if the main compressed gas tank is detachably present on the lift truck. Either the main compressed gas tank may then not yet be completely empty or the lift truck stalls at a distance from the place where the main compressed gas tank is to be exchanged or filled because the main compressed gas tank has run empty.
For being in a position to always completely empty the main compressed gas tank without the equipment to which the main fuel system is connected, for example, a lift truck, stalling, the known system is provided with a reserve compressed gas tank, which is connected to the main compressed gas tank and to the connector piece, a first shut-off valve being positioned between the main compressed gas tank and the manifold, which first shut- off valve is capable of blocking the gas flow in at least one direction, and a second shut-off valve being positioned between the reserve compressed gas tank and the connector piece, which second shut-off valve is capable of blocking or opening the connection between the reserve compressed gas tank and the connector piece. Once a full main compressed gas tank has been installed, first the reserve compressed gas tank is filled from this main compressed gas tank in that the second shut-off valve is opened, while the first shut-off valve allows the gas to flow out of the main compressed gas tank. Once the reserve compressed gas tank has been filled, the second shut-off valve is closed after which - when the fuel system is applied to a vehicle - the main compressed gas tank can be driven on. The moment the main compressed gas tank has been emptied, the second shut-off valve is opened and the reserve compressed gas tank can be driven on, while the first shut-off valve blocks the gas to flow from the reserve compressed gas tank to the main compressed gas tank. There should be a sufficient amount of compressed gas in the reserve compressed gas tank to drive to the location where the main compressed gas tank is to be exchanged. As a result, the main compressed gas tank can always be driven completely empty after which a further ride can be briefly made on the reserve compressed gas tank, so that all compressed gas is used up and only completely empty main compressed gas tanks are exchanged.
Summary of the invention It is an object of the invention to improve the known fuel system. For this purpose the fuel system according to the invention is characterised in that the fuel system further includes:
a further shut-off valve, which is installed between the main compressed gas tank and the reserve compressed gas tank and can shut off or open the connection between the main compressed gas tank and the reserve compressed gas tank, and which is formed by an electrically operated valve, as well as
a gauging valve, which controls the level of the compressed gas in the reserve compressed gas tank, and is to be operated in tandem and simultaneously with the further shut-off valve.
As a result, the reserve compressed gas tank can be filled better so that it can be utilized for a longer period of time.
An advantageous embodiment of the fuel system according to the invention is characterised in that the gauging valve is also arranged as an electrically operated valve and the further shut-off valve is operated in tandem with the gauging valve by means of a switch. A further embodiment of the fuel system according to the invention is characterised in that a buffer having a relatively large inlet opening and a relatively small outlet opening is connected to the gauging valve.
A still further embodiment of the fuel system according to the invention is characterised in that the buffer comprises a one-way valve on the outlet that gives on the fuel supply line from the main compressed gas tank. When the main compressed gas tank is empty, also the buffer is emptied. Each empty main compressed gas tank is then also attended with an empty buffer.
Again a further embodiment of the fuel system according to the invention is characterised in that the gauging valve is an automatic gauging valve through which the main compressed gas tank can be connected to the combustion engine and the reserve compressed gas tank. The advantage of this is that a completely closed circuit is developed without compressed gas being vented to the outdoor air.
Furthermore, preferably between the main compressed gas tank and the reserve compressed gas tank a further one-way valve is installed.
The fuel system may also be used in different equipment from a vehicle, for example, in a gas cooker. By changing over to the reserve compressed gas tank, cooking may be continued after the main compressed gas tank has gone empty. Brief description of the drawings.
The invention will be described below in more detail based on examples of embodiment of the fuel system according to the invention represented in the drawing figures, in which:
Fig. 1 gives a diagrammatic representation of a first embodiment of the fuel system according to the invention;
Fig. 2 gives a diagrammatic representation of a second embodiment of the fuel system according to the invention;
Fig. 3 represents the buffer of the fuel system represented in Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 represents the buffer represented in Fig. 3 provided with a one-way valve on the outlet;
Fig. 5 represents the fuel system represented in Fig. 2 in which the buffer is replaced by an automatic gauging valve through which the fuel supply to engine and reserve compressed gas tank takes place; and Fig. 6 represents the automatic gauging valve represented in Fig. 5.
Detailed description of the drawings Fig. 1 gives a diagrammatic representation of a first embodiment of the fuel system according to the invention. In this case the fuel system is located in a vehicle that comprises a combustion engine 1 for driving wheels of the vehicle. The fuel system comprises a main compressed gas tank 3 which is connected to the combustion engine 1 by means of a connector piece 4, and also a reserve compressed gas tank 5 which is connected to the main compressed gas tank 3 and to the combustion engine 1.
Between the main compressed gas tank 3 and the combustion engine 1 is located a one-way valve 7 which only allows gas to flow from the main compressed gas tank 3 to the combustion engine 1. Between the reserve compressed gas tank 5 and the combustion engine 1 is located a shut-off valve 9 which is formed by an electrically operable two-way valve which can shut off or open the connection betweeen the reserve compressed gas tank and the combustion engine.
Between the main compressed gas tank 3 and the reserve compressed gas tank 5 is loated a further shut-off valve 11 which is also formed by an electrically operable two- way valve.
The shut-off valve 9 can be connected to an accumulator
(indicated by - and +) via a manually operable switch 13. When the switch 13 is closed, a signal source 15 is simultaneously supplied with current, which signal source is arranged as a warning light and/or a loudspeaker.
When the main compressed gas tank 3 has been driven empty, the driver of the vehicle is to close the switch 13 after which the shut-off valve 9 opens the connection between the reserve compressed gas tank 5 and the combustion engine 1. A signal is simultaneously sent to the driver which draws his attention to the fact that he is using the reserve compressed gas tank and is thus to exchange the main compressed gas tank at short notice.
Once the main compressed gas tank 3 has been exchanged, first the reserve compressed gas tank is to be refilled. For this purpose, the latter is first to be vented of air. This is done by temporarily opening the gauging valve 12 present on the reserve compressed gas tank 5. Further, between the main compressed gas tank 3 and the reserve compressed gas tank 5 a further one-way valve 19 is present which allows gas to flow only from the main compressed gas tank to the reserve compressed gas tank.
The further shut-off valve 11 may be operated manually or electrically and is used for preventing the reserve compressed gas tank 5 from being overfilled. For filling the reserve compressed gas tank the manually operated gauging valve 12 is opened simultaneously with further shut-off valve 1 1 by means of switch 20. When moisture leaves the gauging valve 12, the gauging valve 12 and the further shut-off valve 1 1 are closed.
The manually operated gauging valve 12 in Fig. 3 can be replaced by an electrically operated gauging valve 21, cf. Fig. 2, which, in tandem with also electrically arranged further shut-off valve 11, is operated by means of for example switch 20 (other sources are possible). If so desired, a buffer 22 can be mounted on the electric gauging valve 21. This buffer 22 has a relatively large inlet opening that can lead to outdoor air, air intake of the engine or compressed gas intake of the engine, cf. Fig. 3.
The buffer 22 may also be provided with a one-way valve 24 on the outlet that gives on the fuel supply from the main compressed gas tank, cf. Fig. 4. When the main compressed gas tank 3 is empty, also the buffer 22 is emptied. So each empty main compressed gas tank is then attended with an empty buffer 22.
The supply of fuel to the combustion engine 1 and reserve compressed gas tank 5 may also take place via an automatic air venting device 23, cf. Fig. 5. The advantage of this is that a completely closed circuit is developed without compressed gas being vented to the outdoor air.
Fig. 6 gives a detailed representation of this air venting device 23. When one wishes to fill the reserve compressed gas tank 5, the pressure in this reserve compressed gas tank will have to be reduced (venting). When valves 11 and 21 are opened, the pressure that is released from the reserve compressed gas tank is received in the automatic air venting device. The pressure in chamber 23.1 and chamber 23.2 then becomes substantially the same. As a result of the pressure spring 23.4 in chamber 23.2 the piston 23.3 is moved so that the inlet opening 23.5 is substantially closed as a result of which the pressure in chamber 23.1 will be reduced. When the pressure in chamber 23.1 is reduced, the one-way valve 23.6 installed between chamber 23.1 and 23.2 opens up so that the pressure in chamber 23.2 is reduced in its turn.
When the pressure has been reduced that much, the pressure on the inlet 23.7 can again cause the inlet to be opened. If the switch 20 is replaced by a signal from the starting motor control, the system will partially be vented at every starting operation of the engine.
Albeit the invention has been described in the foregoing based on the drawings, it should be observed that the invention is not by any manner or means restricted to the embodiment shown in the drawings. The invention also extends to all embodiments deviating from the embodiment shown in the drawings within the spirit and scope defined by the claims. For example, in the embodiment represented in Fig. 1 the connection between the main compressed gas tank and the reserve compressed gas tank via the third shut-off valve 11 may be omitted. Furthermore, the third shut-off valve 11 may also be replaced by a manually operated tap or an electric valve and the electrically operated three-way valve 17 may also be arranged as a manually operated three-way valve.
