On cherche actuellement à remplacer les moteurs thermiques des véhicules automobiles par des moteurs non polluant comme le moteur électrique. A cet égard, on utilise des batteries d'accumulateurs comme source d'énergie. Ces batteries présentent des inconvénients majeurs rédhibitoires : le poids, l'autonomie, le temps de recharge. Il n'est pas possible, pour des raisons techniques et économiques, de remplacer facilement une batterie déchargée par une batterie chargée. On reste donc résolument orienté vers la recharge électrique qui demande beaucoup de temps et immobilise en conséquence le véhicule. We are currently seeking to replace the internal combustion engines of motor vehicles with non-polluting engines such as the electric motor. In this regard, storage batteries are used as an energy source. These batteries have major drawbacks: weight, autonomy, recharge time. It is not possible, for technical and economic reasons, to easily replace a discharged battery with a charged battery. We therefore remain resolutely oriented towards electric charging which requires a lot of time and immobilizes the vehicle accordingly.
La présente invention propose une solution convenable à ce problème. Il s'agit d'utiliser à la place de l'accumulateur, un ensemble d'éléments comprenant des piles électriques non rechargeables dont on pourrait remplacer commodément les seuls éléments actifs. The present invention provides a suitable solution to this problem. This involves using, instead of the accumulator, a set of elements comprising non-rechargeable electric batteries of which the only active elements could be conveniently replaced.
La figure 1 représente succinctement un générateur électrique comportant une pile selon l'invention. FIG. 1 briefly shows an electric generator comprising a battery according to the invention.
La figure 2 propose une association de générateurs en vue de leur utilisation finale. Figure 2 suggests a combination of generators for their final use.
Le générateur électrique est constitué de plusieurs cellules comme celle représentée par la figure 1 comportant une enceinte (1) séparée en deux compartiments (3-4), par une cloison osmotique (2). Chaque compartiment possède une électrode neutre (5-6) ne participant pas aux réactions chimiques. Ces compartiments sont alimentés par deux réservoirs (7-8) via des pompes (9-10). Les réservoirs sont remplis de solutions liquides différentes. Quand le générateur doit débiter du courant électrique, (et seulement dans ce cas) les pompes remplissent les deux compartiments à travers les clapets (11-12-13-14). D'un côté il y a par exemple, un électrolyte (acide, base), de l'autre une solution de sels alcalins ou dissolution métallique. Il s'établit une réaction chimique de type osmotique classique avec production de courant. Quand cette réaction baisse d'intensité et que la f. e. m. de la pile atteint une limite inférieure déterminée, les compartiments se vident à travers les clapets (13-14-15-16) dans un bac de récupération (17) comportant un ou deux compartiments selon les configurations. The electric generator is made up of several cells like the one shown in FIG. 1 comprising an enclosure (1) separated into two compartments (3-4), by an osmotic partition (2). Each compartment has a neutral electrode (5-6) which does not participate in chemical reactions. These compartments are supplied by two tanks (7-8) via pumps (9-10). The tanks are filled with different liquid solutions. When the generator must deliver electric current, (and only in this case) the pumps fill the two compartments through the valves (11-12-13-14). On the one hand there is, for example, an electrolyte (acid, base), on the other a solution of alkaline salts or metallic dissolution. A classic osmotic type chemical reaction is established with production of current. When this reaction decreases in intensity and the f. e. m. of the stack reaches a determined lower limit, the compartments empty through the valves (13-14-15-16) in a recovery tank (17) comprising one or two compartments depending on the configurations.
La cloison (2) présente une grande surface en regard du volume des compartiments (7) et (8) qui est minimalisé, et qui a donc la plus faible épaisseur possible. On augmente ainsi la puissance par unité de volume au bénéfice du rendement global, et on s'affranchit des problèmes liés à la polarisation des électrodes. Quand la vidange est terminée, les clapets (20-13-18) et (21-14-19) s'ouvrent et laissent passer une lessive appropriée provenant d'un réservoir, pour éliminer les résidus restant dans les compartiments. Cette lessive retourne au dit réservoir via un filtre qui retient les impuretés. Si on utilise comme électrolyte une solution colloïdale ou s'il se produit par suite des réactions chimiques un précipité insoluble, afin d'éviter l'obstruction des pores The partition (2) has a large surface opposite the volume of the compartments (7) and (8) which is minimized, and which therefore has the smallest possible thickness. This increases the power per unit volume for the benefit of overall efficiency, and overcomes the problems associated with the polarization of the electrodes. When the emptying is finished, the valves (20-13-18) and (21-14-19) open and let through an appropriate detergent coming from a tank, to remove the residues remaining in the compartments. This detergent returns to the said reservoir via a filter which retains the impurities. If a colloidal solution is used as the electrolyte or if an insoluble precipitate occurs as a result of chemical reactions, in order to avoid clogging of the pores
<Desc/Clms Page number 2><Desc / Clms Page number 2>
de la cloison, on procédera comme suit : Dans un premier temps, les clapets (20-14- 19) ou (21-13-18) s'ouvrent ; la lessive mise sous pression s'écoule au travers de la cloison en dégageant ses pores, ensuite, on fera écouler normalement cette lessive dans les deux compartiments. La cloison aura une porosité adaptée à cette situation. from the partition, proceed as follows: Firstly, the valves (20-14-19) or (21-13-18) open; the detergent put under pressure flows through the partition, freeing its pores, then, this detergent will be run normally in the two compartments. The partition will have a porosity adapted to this situation.
Si le générateur est toujours sollicité, les pompes s'activent de nouveau, la pile se remplit et continue à fournir du courant. Le fonctionnement est donc intermittent. D'autres clapets auxiliaires permettent une circulation d'air dans les compartiments pour en faciliter le remplissage et la vidange. La partie du dispositif comprenant les réservoirs, le bac récupérateur, les clapets et les pompes sont communs à plusieurs piles. If the generator is still used, the pumps are activated again, the battery fills and continues to supply current. Operation is therefore intermittent. Other auxiliary valves allow air circulation in the compartments to facilitate filling and emptying. The part of the device comprising the tanks, the recovery tank, the valves and the pumps are common to several batteries.
Le choix des solutions liquides est assez large. On peut utiliser des composés chimiques dont la réaction s'entretint même en circuit électrique externe ouvert, ce qui n'est pas acceptable avec une pile classique. Ces composés ne sont pas inflammables comme les carburants pétroliers, et ne nécessitent pas des moyens draconiens de transport ou de stockage comme pour l'hydrogène liquide. The choice of liquid solutions is quite wide. Chemical compounds can be used, the reaction of which is maintained even in an open external electrical circuit, which is not acceptable with a conventional battery. These compounds are not flammable like petroleum fuels, and do not require drastic means of transport or storage like for liquid hydrogen.
Il n'y a pas de production d'électricité pendant la vidange, le nettoyage, et le remplissage de la pile, ce qui peut provoquer des à-coups. Pour y pallier, on peut adopter la solution préconisée en figure 2, où pour alimenter finalement le moteur (22), on utilise parallèlement à un générateur (24), une batterie d'accumulateurs de faible capacité (23), et éventuellement un deuxième générateur (25). Dans ce cas, le fonctionnement de ce dernier sera déphasé par rapport à son semblable, de sorte que quand les piles de l'un se vident ou se remplissent, l'autre fournit du courant, et vice versa. Comme pour les accumulateurs, il faudra associer plusieurs cellules unitaires pour obtenir la f. e. m. nécessaire pour activer le moteur. There is no production of electricity during draining, cleaning, and filling the battery, which can cause jolts. To overcome this, we can adopt the solution recommended in Figure 2, where to finally power the engine (22), we use in parallel to a generator (24), a low-capacity storage battery (23), and possibly a second generator (25). In this case, the operation of the latter will be out of phase with that of its counterpart, so that when the batteries of one empty or fill up, the other supplies current, and vice versa. As for accumulators, it will be necessary to associate several unit cells to obtain the f. e. m. necessary to activate the engine.
Un véhicule équipé de ce type de générateurs aurait plus d'autonomie, et serait moins lourd que s'il était doté d'accumulateurs. Le remplissage des réservoirs pouvant se faire simultanément avec la vidange du bac récupérateur, le temps nécessaire à ces opérations ne serait guère plus long que celui exigé pour le remplissage d'un véhicule à moteur thermique. A vehicle equipped with this type of generator would have more autonomy, and would be lighter than if it were equipped with accumulators. Since the filling of the tanks can be done simultaneously with the emptying of the recovery tank, the time necessary for these operations would not be much longer than that required for filling a vehicle with an internal combustion engine.
