Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftstoffversorgungsanlage für Common-Rail Schweröl-Einspritzsysteme für Brennkraftmaschinen mit einem Tank, einer Vorförderpumpe zum Fördern von Schweröl vom Tank zu einer Hochdruckpumpe, wobei die Hochdruckpumpe über wenigstens eine Hochdruckleitung mit einem Hochdruckspeicher (Rail) verbunden ist, der wenigstens einen Einspritzinjektor speist, und weiters mit einem Spülventil, das über eine eigene Hochdruckleitung an den Hochdruckspeicher angeschlossen ist, um wenigstens eine Teilmenge des Schweröls über eine Rückführungsleitung in den Tank abzusteuern.The invention relates to a fuel supply system for common rail heavy fuel injection systems for internal combustion engines with a tank, a prefeed pump for conveying heavy oil from the tank to a high-pressure pump, wherein the high-pressure pump is connected via at least one high-pressure line to a high-pressure accumulator (rail), the at least one injection injector feeds, and further with a purge valve, which is connected via its own high-pressure line to the high-pressure accumulator to control at least a subset of the heavy oil via a return line into the tank.
Aus Kostengründen werden bei sehr großen Dieselmotoren, insbesondere bei Schiffsdieselmotoren, minderqualitative Kraftstoffe wie beispielsweise Schweröl eingesetzt. Aufgrund der besonderen physikalischen Eigenschaften von Schwerölen müssen für den Betrieb mit Schweröl besondere Vorkehrungen getroffen werden. Beispielsweise ist die Viskosität von Schweröl wesentlich höher als von normalem Dieselkraftstoff, sodass eine Erwärmung auf mehr als 80°C erforderlich ist, damit das Schweröl überhaupt gepumpt werden kann.For cost reasons, low-quality fuels such as heavy oil are used in very large diesel engines, especially in marine diesel engines. Due to the special physical properties of heavy oils, special precautions must be taken to operate with heavy oil. For example, the viscosity of heavy fuel oil is much higher than normal diesel fuel, so heating to more than 80 ° C is required to pump the heavy oil at all.
Die hohe Viskosität von Schweröl bedingt, dass auch während des Motorstillstands immer Kraftstoff im Leitungssystem im Kreis gepumpt werden muss, um das Festwerden von Schweröl in den Leitungen zu verhindern.The high viscosity of heavy fuel oil means that fuel must always be circulated in the piping system during engine standstill in order to prevent the formation of heavy oil in the pipes.
Zu diesem Zweck ist in Common-Rail Schweröl-Einspritzsystemen der eingangs genannten Art ein Spülventil vorgesehen, welches während des Betriebs des Motors geschlossen ist und dabei die hochdruckseitigen Teile des Treibstoffsystems und damit auch das Rail gegenüber einer niederdruckseitigen Treibstoffrückführleitung, durch welche Treibstoff in den Tank rückgeführt werden kann, verschließt. Bei Stillstand des Motors kann nun dieses Spülventil geöffnet werden, sodass Treibstoff von der Hochdruckseite durch die Hochdruckleitungen und das Rail durch das Ventil zur Niederdruckseite und in der Folge in den Tank im Kreis geführt wird, wobei der Treibstoff durch einen Vorwärmer auf einer entsprechenden Temperatur gehalten wird, sodass ein Festwerden des Schweröls in den Leitungen verhindert wird.For this purpose, a purge valve is provided in common-rail heavy fuel injection systems of the type mentioned, which is closed during operation of the engine and thereby the high-pressure side parts of the fuel system and thus the rail against a low-pressure side fuel return line through which fuel into the tank can be returned, closes. When the engine is stopped, this flush valve can now be opened so that fuel from the High pressure side is passed through the high pressure lines and the rail through the valve to the low pressure side and subsequently into the tank in the circuit, wherein the fuel is maintained by a preheater at a corresponding temperature, so that a solidification of the heavy oil is prevented in the lines.
Neben der Möglichkeit, eine Kreislaufströmung zur Temperierung des Kraftstoffs im System zu erzeugen, besitzt das Spülventil gleichzeitig auch die Funktion eines Notstoppventils. Durch geeignete Ansteuerung des Spülventils kann im Notfall der Systemdruck sehr schnell abgesenkt werden, ohne dass die Einspritzinjektoren selbst deaktiviert werden müssen.In addition to the possibility of generating a circulation flow for controlling the temperature of the fuel in the system, the purge valve also has the function of an emergency stop valve. By suitable control of the purge valve, the system pressure can be lowered very quickly in an emergency, without the injection injectors themselves must be disabled.
Die bisher bekannt gewordenen Ausführungen von derartigen Spülventilen waren Ventile mit einem herkömmlichen Ventilsitz, bei welchen ein kegelstumpfförmiges Ventilglied auf einen Ventilsitz gepresst wurde, wobei die Dichtwirkung durch eine entsprechend starke Flächenpressung erreicht wurde (s.z.B. EN1081748-A) . Nachteilig war bei diesen Ausbildungen, dass mit zunehmender Betriebsdauer des Spülventils Probleme mit der Dichtheit auftraten: Partikel können den Kegelsitz vorschädigen und erosive Eigenschaften des Kraftstoffs den Sitz völlig zerstören. Ein weiterer Verschleißmechanismus sind Mikrobewegungen, welche von der Betätigung des Spülventils herrühren. Durch den Verschleiß am Ventilsitz wird die vorhandene Flächenpressung reduziert, und es kommt zu Undichtheit.The previously disclosed embodiments of such purge valves have been valves with a conventional valve seat in which a frusto-conical valve member has been pressed onto a valve seat, the sealing effect being achieved by a correspondingly high surface pressure (see, for example, EN1081748-A). A disadvantage of these designs was that with increasing operating time of the purge valve problems with the tightness occurred: Particles can damage the conical seat and erosive properties of the fuel completely destroy the seat. Another wear mechanism is micromotion resulting from actuation of the purge valve. The wear on the valve seat reduces the existing surface pressure and leads to leaks.
Es ist somit Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Kraftstoffversorgungsanlage der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass Verschleißerscheinungen am Spülventil bzw. deren Auswirkungen reduziert werden und Lebensdauer und Betriebssicherheit eines Spülventils in einer derartigen Kraftstoffversorgungsanlage verbessert werden.It is therefore an object of the present invention to develop a fuel supply system of the type mentioned in that wear on the flush valve or its effects are reduced and life and reliability of a purge valve can be improved in such a fuel supply system.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Kraftstoffversorgungsanlage der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weitergebildet, dass der Ventilsitz des Ventilglieds als Schiebesitz ausgebildet ist. Bei einer solchen Ausbildung eines Spülventils wird die Dichtwirkung nicht durch das Anpressen einer Dichtfläche auf einen Ventilsitz erreicht, sondern durch eine erhöhte Überdeckungslänge der dichtenden Flächen, zwischen denen ein enger Spalt verbleibt. Bei dieser Konstruktion treten kleine permanente Leckagen auf. Werden Partikel kurzfristig zwischen den Dichtflächen eingeklemmt, können diese zwar zu Beschädigungen führen, da die Dichtwirkung aber aufgrund des engen Spalts und der Überdeckungslänge zustande kommt, wird durch diese Beschädigung die Dichtwirkung nicht beeinträchtigt. Mittels des Vorwärmers kann der Treibstoff jeweils vor dem Einspeisen in die Schwerölleitungen vorgewärmt werden, sodass die Leitungen und weiteren Bauteile auf einer entsprechenden Temperatur gehalten werden können, um ein übermäßiges Ansteigen der viskosität in den Stillstandszeiten des Motors zu vermeiden.To achieve this object, according to the present invention, a fuel supply system of the type mentioned in the further developed such that the valve seat of the valve member is designed as a sliding seat. In such a design of a flushing valve, the sealing effect is not achieved by pressing a sealing surface on a valve seat, but by an increased overlap length of the sealing surfaces, between which a narrow gap remains. In this construction, small permanent leaks occur. If particles are temporarily trapped between the sealing surfaces, they can lead to damage, but since the sealing effect is due to the narrow gap and the overlap length, this damage does not affect the sealing effect. By means of the preheater, the fuel can be preheated before each feeding into the heavy oil lines, so that the lines and other components can be kept at a corresponding temperature in order to avoid an excessive increase in the viscosity in the downtime of the engine.
Mit Vorteil ist die erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoffversorgungsanlage dahingehend weitergebildet, dass das Ventilglied in einer Ventilhülse verschieblich geführt ist und eine durch einen Rücksprung gebildete Steuerkante aufweist, die zur Öffnung des Ventils in den Bereich der radial in die Ventilhülse mündenden Hochdruckleitung verschiebbar ist und zum Schließen des Ventils aus der Mündung der Hochdruckleitung unter Ausbildung einer Überdeckung von Ventilglied und Ventilhülse verschiebbar ist. Dabei wirken die am Außenmantel des Ventilglieds und am Innenmantel der Ventilhülse angeordneten Dichtflächen miteinander zusammen und weisen eine große Überdeckungslänge auf, sodass bei geschlossenem Ventil nur äußerst geringe Leckagemengen auftreten. Zum Öffnen des Ventils wird nun das Ventilglied derart verschoben, dass die durch den Rücksprung gebildete Steuerkante in den Bereich der Mündung der Hochdruckleitung gelangt und der Kraftstoff über den von der Steuerkante begrenzten, mit geringerem Durchmesser ausgebildeten Bereich des Ventilglieds abfließen kann. Beim Öffnen des Ventils wird somit ein ringförmiger Durchflussquerschnitt freigegeben bzw. vergrößert. Die Größe des Rücksprungs am Ventilglied bestimmt dabei den ringförmigen Durchflussquerschnitt und damit die Durchflussmenge, wobei eine Ausbildung derart getroffen werden kann, dass die Durchflussmenge ausreicht, um die Viskosität des in den Leitungen befindlichen Schweröls entsprechend gering zu halten.Advantageously, the fuel supply system according to the invention is further developed such that the valve member is guided displaceably in a valve sleeve and having a formed by a return control edge, which is displaceable to open the valve in the region of the radially opening into the valve sleeve high-pressure line and to close the valve the mouth of the high-pressure line to form an overlap of valve member and valve sleeve is displaceable. The sealing surfaces arranged on the outer jacket of the valve member and on the inner jacket of the valve sleeve cooperate with one another and have a large overlap length, so that only extremely small leakage quantities occur when the valve is closed. To open the valve, the valve member is now moved in such a way that the control edge formed by the return passes into the region of the mouth of the high-pressure line and the fuel can flow off over the region of the valve member which is delimited by the control edge and has a smaller diameter. When opening the valve thus an annular flow area is released or increased. The size of the recess on the valve member determines the annular Flow cross-section and thus the flow rate, wherein a formation can be made such that the flow rate is sufficient to keep the viscosity of the heavy oil in the lines correspondingly low.
Zur Erhöhung der Durchflussmenge durch das Spülventil kann die Erfindung gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform dahingehend weitergebildet sein, dass die Hochdruckleitung in eine ringförmige Nut der Ventilhülse mündet. In diesem Fall führt ein Zurückziehen des Ventilglieds in den Bereich der radial in die Ventilhülse mündenden Hochdruckleitung unmittelbar zu einer relativ großen Durchflussmenge.To increase the flow rate through the purge valve, the invention can be further developed according to a preferred embodiment in that the high-pressure line opens into an annular groove of the valve sleeve. In this case, a retraction of the valve member in the region of the high-pressure line opening radially into the valve sleeve leads directly to a relatively large flow rate.
Mit Vorteil ist die erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoffversorgungsanlage dahingehend weitergebildet, dass die maximale Überdeckung wenigstens dem 0,1 bis 0,5-fachen des Ventilglieddurchmessers entspricht, sodass durch die Wahl einer ausreichend großen Überdeckungslänge der dichtenden Flächen die erfindungsgemäß gewünschte Unempfindlichkeit des Spülventils gegenüber Verschleißerscheinungen erreicht werden kann.Advantageously, the fuel supply system according to the invention is further developed such that the maximum coverage corresponds to at least 0.1 to 0.5 times the valve member diameter, so that the invention desired insensitivity of the purge valve can be achieved against wear by choosing a sufficiently large overlap length of the sealing surfaces ,

Die quer zur Verschieberichtung verlaufende Fläche des Ventilglieds bildet dabei in einem geeigneten Zylinder einen Kolben aus, der durch den Druck des eingespeisten Druckmediums gegen die Kraft einer Feder verschoben werden kann, wodurch die Betätigung des Ventilglieds ausgelöst wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist mit Vorteil eine das Ventilglied im Schließsinne beaufschlagende Druckfeder vorgesehen.In a particularly simple manner, the invention is developed to the effect that the actuating means are designed as pneumatic means, so that the hitherto used reaching actuation systems for flushing valves can also be used in the flush valves according to the invention, in a particularly simple manner, the invention is further developed such that a With pressurized medium, in particular compressed air, can be acted upon line in a limited by a transverse to the direction of displacement surface of the valve member space. The transverse to the direction of displacement surface of the valve member forms in a suitable cylinder from a piston which can be moved by the pressure of the injected pressure medium against the force of a spring, whereby the actuation of the valve member is triggered. For this purpose, a pressure spring acting on the valve member in the closing direction is advantageously provided.
Um einen automatischen Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffversorgungsanlage zu gewährleisten, ist die erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoffversorgungsanlage mit Vorteil dahingehend weitergebildet, dass eine Steuervorrichtung vorgesehen ist, die mit dem Spülventil zum Öffnen des Ventils beim Stillstand der Brennkraftmaschine zusammenwirkt.In order to ensure automatic operation of the fuel supply system according to the invention, the fuel supply system according to the invention is developed with advantage to the effect that a control device is provided which cooperates with the purge valve to open the valve when the internal combustion engine.
