Definitions
- the present invention relates to the industry dedicated to diesel engine fuel filters, and more specifically to the industry dedicated to the detection of water in diesel engine fuel filters, proposing a water sensor to carry out this detection. .
- the need to remove the water contained in it from diesel fuel is known to prevent said water from coming into contact with sensitive elements of injection systems of said engines, on which water can have a harmful effect. due to corrosion phenomena, such as oxidation and deposition of insoluble salts.
- the use of diesel filters separates the water from the diesel.
- the water that separates from the fuel of diesel engines is decanted and collected in a specific area for this, which, being the water denser than diesel, is usually located in the lower part of the envelope of diesel filters.
- Water filters are available in diesel filters.
- the present invention relates to a water sensor to detect the presence of water in diesel filters , which in addition to cash, results in a reduction of the total volume as well as the final cost of it.
- the water sensor for detecting water in diesel filters comprises a first electrode and a second electrode; a first ground connection for connection of the first ground electrode; a second ground connection for connection of the second ground electrode; a first switch arranged in the first ground connection; and a second switch arranged in the second ground connection.
- the water sensor object of the invention additionally comprises a first current connection for injection of a first current to the first electrode; a second connection to current for injection of a second current to the second electrode; and a current generation circuit connected to the first electrode and the second electrode by the first current connection and the second current connection, respectively.
- the current generation circuit is configured to inject the first current into the first electrode and the second current into the second electrode, the first current and the second current being equal.
- the water sensor is provided so that it can detect the presence of water in fuel filters, its useful life being extended and the electronic components used reduced in volume and cost. Therefore, the total volume being reduced, the water sensor also provides advantages from the point of view of its location by requiring a smaller space and offering greater flexibility for the location of other electronic and / or mechanical elements around it.
- the current generation circuit is a current mirror.
- the water sensor is provided with a simplified configuration in relation to the power supply or injection of the first and second electrical currents.
- the water sensor for detecting water in diesel filters additionally comprises a controller configured to act alternatively on the first switch and the second switch so that the ground connection of the first electrode and the second electrode is alternated. Therefore, the operation of the water sensor is simplified, which provides greater reliability and a longer service life.
- Figure 1 shows a switching bridge schematically, which is comprised in a water sensor object of the present invention.
- the invention relates to a sensor for detecting water in diesel filters.
- the water sensor comprises two electrodes (1.1, 1.2), a first electrode (1.1) and a second electrode (1.2). Additionally, the water sensor comprises a first connection to current (2.1) for injection of a first current to the first electrode (1.1), a second current connection (2.2) for injection of a second current to the second electrode (1.2), a first ground connection (3.1) for connection of the first ground electrode (1.1), a second ground connection (3.2) for connection of the second ground electrode (1.2), a first switch (4.1) arranged in the first ground connection (3.1) and a second switch (4.2) arranged in the second ground connection (3.2).
- the water sensor comprises a current generation circuit (5) connected to the first electrode (1.1) and the second electrode (1.2) by the first current connection (2.1) and the second current connection (2.2), respectively .
- the current generation circuit (5) is configured to inject the first current into the first electrode (1.1) and the second current into the second electrode (1.2), the first current and the second current being equal.
- the current circuit is a current mirror.
- the first current and the second current are of an equal nominal value.
- the first current and the second current are direct current.
- the water sensor lacks switches on the first power connection (2.1) and the second power connection (2.2). That is, by the first current connection (2.1) and the second current connection (2.2), the first electrode (1.1) and the second electrode (1.2) are directly connected to the current generation circuit (5).
- the water sensor is configured to alternate the ground connection between the first electrode (1.1) and the second electrode (1.2).
- the water sensor comprises a controller, not shown in Figure 1, configured to open and close the first switch (4.1) and the second switch (4.2) alternately.
- the first switch (4.1) is closed, that is the first electrode (1.1) grounded
- the second switch (4.2) is open, that is, the second electrode (1.2) is not grounded.
- the first switch (4.1) is open
- the second switch (4.2) is closed.
- the two electrodes (1.1, 1.2) are permanently connected to the current generation circuit (5) and the current generation circuit (5) is permanently injecting the first current and the second current, however each of the two Electrodes (1.1, 1.2) receive the injection of current discontinuously or alternately. Being a measurement cycle established as an opening and closing of each of the two switches (4.1, 4.2), in any half cycle or half measurement cycle only electric current is injected from the two electrodes (1.1, 1.2) to which it has of its corresponding switch (4.1, 4.2) open.
- electric current is injected into a medium in which the two electrodes (1.1, 1.2) are arranged from the current generation circuit (5) through the first electrode (1.1) to be the first switch (4.1) open, while the second electrode (1.2) is connected to ground or ground when the second switch (4.2) is closed.
- electric current is injected into the medium through the second electrode (1.2) when the second switch (4.2) is open, while the first electrode (1.1) is connected to ground or ground when the first switch (4.1) is closed.
- the anode and cathode function of the two electrodes (1.1, 1.2) is alternated in each of the phases which are repeated successively. This alternation extends the life of the water sensor.
- the two electrodes (1.1, 1.2) and the medium form a system.
- This procedure involves short-circuiting the current generation circuit (5) to ground or ground. Said short circuit is assumed when the nominal value of the first current and the second current of a low value are treated so that it does not produce any appreciable power dissipation through the switch (4.1, 4.2) through which it is derived to earth or ground , as well as an appreciable rise in the voltage that falls on said switch (4.1, 4.2), which may interfere with the voltage of said system and in the evaluation of the measurement or discrimination voltage that determines the presence of water.
