Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the field of cooling circuits of internal combustion engines, and in particular to the field of controlling the internal pressure of the circuit itself by means of a mechanical valve without using pressure sensors or respective control units.
- Modern cooling circuits of internal combustion engines are provided with a coolant liquid expansion tank. A safety valve is usually housed in such an expansion tank, part of the volume of which is filled with air, to allow to release gas/vapor into the external environment when a predetermined pressure value measured in the expansion tank itself is exceeded.
- The circulation and pressurization of the coolant liquid in the circuit is ensured by a hydraulic pump.
- With the use of variable flow rate pumps, i.e. capable of regulating themselves according to the temperature of the coolant liquid, the pressure may drop in some points of the cooling circuit thus allowing the occurrence of cavitation phenomena.
- Such phenomena determine a rapid corrosion of the walls of the cooling circuit in the internal combustion engine, with severe damage to the engine itself.
- Such phenomena are related to the pressure in the circuit but also to the temperature of the coolant liquid.
- Various solutions are known which are based on the introduction of air into the circuit so as to increase the pressure in the circuit and prevent such cavitation problems.
JP19800169161 -
US2005061264 shows a solution for pressurizing the cooling circuit by detecting a level of coolant in the expansion tank. Thus, air is introduced into the tank when the liquid rises over a predetermined level. A preferred variant shows the use of a further pressure sensor housed in the expansion tank and processing means which control the introduction of compressed air in the expansion tank also according to the pressure measured in the expansion tank. -
DE102009018012 andDE102005007781 show systems which are very similar to those described above in which pressurization is again controlled by means of pressure sensors and respective control units. -
US6666175 shows another solution in which the cooling circuit is pressurized by means of the supercharger compressor and in which the pressurization is controlled by means of a spring valve or by means of a servo valve. -
DE2222919 shows another solution for pressurizing the cooling circuit by means of mechanical valves which connect the expansion tank of the circuit to a compressed air tank. - If, on one hand, the use of mechanical valves (i.e. free from servo assistance) is known, on the other hand the pressurization of the cooling circuit by means of the compressed air tank of the brakes or of the suspensions is shown in combination with servo assisted valves.
- This is because the compressed air tanks of the braking circuit and/or of the suspensions of industrial vehicles have an inner pressure in the order of at least 9-10 bar, and even higher, with capacities in the order of a hundred liters.
- On the other hand, a cooling circuit of an internal combustion engine has a total capacity in the order of tens of liters.
- The need to operate by means of servo assisted valves and pressure sensors when the pressure in the cooling circuit must be increased by 0.4-0.5 bar, starting from a compressed air tank of the braking circuit and/or of the suspensions, is thus apparent.
- It is the object of the present invention to disclose a system for pressurizing a cooling circuit of an internal combustion engine operated by means of mechanical, i.e. not servo assisted, valves based on the tapping of compressed air from the braking circuit and/or from the pneumatic suspension feeding circuit of the vehicle.
- It is the object of the present invention a system for pressurizing a cooling circuit of an internal combustion engine for industrial vehicles providing with a compressed air tank according to
claim 1. - The appended claims describe preferred embodiments of the invention forming an integral part of the present description.
- Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof (and variants thereof) and from the accompanying drawings given merely by way of non-limitative example, in which:
-
figure 1 indicates an approximate diagram of the system object of the present invention, -
figure 2 shows a preferred variant of a part of the diagram infigure 1 in detail, -
figure 3 shows examples of regulating valves belonging to the diagram infigure 1 . - The same reference numbers and letters in the figures refer to the same elements or components.
-
Figure 1 shows aninternal combustion engine 1, which by means of connection means 15, rotationally drives anair compressor 16. - The
compressor 16 aspirates air from the environment and compresses it, introducing it into thecompressed air tank 18 by means of thepipe 19. Adryer 17 for extracting the humidity from the compressed air is arranged between thecompressor 16 and thetank 18 on saidpipe 19. - The
internal combustion engine 1 has a cooling circuit (not shown), connected with a closedexpansion tank 12, which is partially filled with coolant liquid and partially filled with air. - A
safety valve 8b is connected with the upper part of thetank 12 to release vapor into the external environment when a predetermined pressure threshold is exceeded. - A
pneumatic pipe 10b connects thecompressor 18 to the upper part of theexpansion tank 12. Such a pipe is opened and closed by means of a mechanical regulatingvalve 10, typically spring-operated, i.e. free from any type of electric assistance. - Such a valve opens the
pipe 10b, so that the compressed air flows into the expansion tank when it detects a pressure difference between a point upstream and a point downstream of the valve itself, where "upstream" and "downstream" are referred to the direction of circulation of the compressed air from thetank 18 to thetank 12. - Preferably, the mechanical regulating
valve 10 is adjusted according to the filling cut-off pressure of thecompressed air tank 12. In which the cut-off pressure is the pressure at which thecompressor 16 is deactivated after a step of activation. - A check valve (not shown), also completely mechanical, may be provided on the
pneumatic pipe 10b itself. Therefore, any regulation of the pressurization of thetank 12 is operated mechanically without the aid of control means. - Preferably, said mechanical valve is a three-way valve.
- More in particular, even when the valve externally appears as a two-way valve, a third way is integrated in the valve itself and connected with one of the other ways to measure the pressure upstream and downstream of the valve itself. In other words, the third way controls the opening of the valve itself.
- Preferably, the third way is connected with the outlet way of the valve itself, i.e. to the lower pressure way, directly connected with the expansion tank.
- With reference to
figure 2 , the third outlet is separate from the others and connected by means of aseparate pipe 10c to the upper part of theexpansion tank 12. - Preferably, a small
air expansion reservoir 11 is interposed between thevalve 10 and theexpansion tank 12, so as to allow a preventive expansion of the compressed air before and during its introduction into theexpansion tank 12. Advantageously, by virtue of the implementation of thereservoir 11, the opening and closing of thevalve 10 can be modulated with greater accuracy, without incurring the risk of subjecting the expansion tank to an excessively high pressure increase. - Preferably, the inner volume of the
air expansion reservoir 11 is approximately 13 1., i.e. 1/5 - 1/10 of the part of volume inside the expansion tank occupied by air. - According to another preferred variant of the invention, the system comprises a
valve 10, apparently a two-way valve, in which the third way is connected with one of the two other ways, having an air expansion tank directly integrated in the valve body. -
Figure 3 shows a Wabco® valve particularly suited for implementing the present invention by way of example only. Such valves are provided with two ports A and B and both ports B integrate two ports, a control port d and a port for the passage of compressed air. - The aforesaid
air expansion reservoir 11 is made inside the valve body. In particular, such a tank can be extended by means of a membrane/moveable piston loaded by means of a helical thrust spring f, which can be regulated by means of a screw g accessible from the outside of the valve body and arranged in axial position with respect to the helical spring. - Various embodiment variations of the non-limiting example described are possible, without because of this departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
- From the description above, a person skilled in the art will be able to implement the object of the invention without introducing further constructional details. The elements and features illustrated in the various embodiments may be combined without because of this departing from the scope of protection of the invention. The description of the prior art, unless specifically excluded in the detailed description, must be considered in combination with the features of the present invention, forming an integral part of the present invention.
