Description
SYSTEME DE PROPULSION COMPORTANT UN MOTEUR A COMBUSTION INTERNE ET UNE TURBOMACHINE PROPULSION SYSTEM COMPRISING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND A TURBOMACHINE
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la propulsion mécanique, en particulier du secteur aéronautique, dont la plupart des systèmes de propulsion des aéronefs sont équipés d'une turbomachine. The present invention relates to the field of mechanical propulsion, particularly in the aeronautical sector, most of the aircraft propulsion systems are equipped with a turbomachine.
De tels systèmes avec une turbomachine présentent de nombreux avantages : Such systems with a turbomachine have many advantages:
• une densité de puissance très élevée qui les rendent très compétitifs sur les systèmes volants, • a very high power density which makes them very competitive on flying systems,
• une capacité à fonctionner au-delà de sa puissance nominale sur des durées limitées, permettant des manœuvres d'urgence très importante sur un aéronef, • an ability to operate beyond its nominal power over limited periods, allowing very high emergency maneuvers on an aircraft,
• une grande simplicité mécanique et donc une grande fiabilité, indispensable pour tenir les objectifs de certification. • a great mechanical simplicity and therefore high reliability, essential to meet the certification objectives.
Cependant, un des principaux inconvénients est la consommation spécifique élevée en carburant, particulièrement à faible puissance, ce qui les rend limitants dans l'objectif de réduire la consommation et les émissions de C02. A l'inverse, le moteur à combustion interne, tel que celui à pistons, présente l'avantage d'avoir une très bonne consommation spécifique sur l'ensemble de sa plage de fonctionnement. However, one of the main drawbacks is the high specific fuel consumption, particularly at low power, which makes them limiting with the aim of reducing consumption and C02 emissions. Conversely, the internal combustion engine, such as the piston, has the advantage of having a very good specific consumption over its entire operating range.
Il est néanmoins limité du point de vue de la densité de puissance qui reste environ quatre fois plus faible que celle d'une turbomachine de puissance équivalente, ainsi que sur la fiabilité du fait de la complexité du mécanisme. It is nevertheless limited in terms of power density which remains about four times lower than that of a turbine engine of equivalent power, as well as reliability due to the complexity of the mechanism.
Le déploiement de l'utilisation du moteur à combustion dans le secteur aéronautique, pour supplanter les turbomachines, est actuellement difficile du fait de ces inconvénients que ne compense pas suffisamment sa faible consommation spécifique. La présente invention se propose de concevoir un système de propulsion qui associe de façon optimisée les deux systèmes : turbomachine et moteur à combustion interne, afin de cumuler leurs avantages des deux systèmes et de limiter leurs inconvénients afin d'avoir un système qui globalement a :
• une meilleure consommation spécifique que la turbomachine, The deployment of the use of the combustion engine in the aeronautics sector, to supplant turbomachines, is currently difficult because of these disadvantages that do not compensate sufficiently for its low specific consumption. The present invention proposes to design a propulsion system that optimally combines the two systems: turbomachine and internal combustion engine, in order to combine their advantages of the two systems and to limit their disadvantages in order to have a system that globally has: • a better specific consumption than the turbomachine,
• une plus forte densité de puissance que le moteur thermique. • a higher power density than the heat engine.
On connaît le document US2011108663A qui décrit de manière générique le couplage mécanique de deux systèmes de conversion d'énergie qui peuvent être différents.

La turbomachine de la figure 1 a est une turbomachine à turbine liée 3 qui comprend une turbine 4 et des moyens de compression 5 d'un comburant fluide, ici de l'air extérieur, alors que la turbomachine de la figure lb est une turbomachine à turbine libre 3' qui comprend également une turbine 4' et des moyens de compression 5' d'un comburant fluide, ici également de l'air extérieur.

Comme cela est illustré sur les figures la et lb, la turbomachine comprend des moyens de compression d'air 5, 5' avec un ou plusieurs étages de compression, ici deux 6a,
6b et 6'a, 6'b, alimentant une chambre de combustion 7, 7' évacuant les gaz brûlés vers une turbine 4, 4' avec un ou plusieurs étages de détente, ici deux étages respectivement 8a, 8b et 8'a, 8'b, récupérant l'énergie thermique de ces gaz. As illustrated in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the turbomachine comprises air compression means 5, 5 'with one or more compression stages, here two 6a, 6b and 6'a, 6'b, supplying a combustion chamber 7, 7 'evacuating the flue gases to a turbine 4, 4' with one or more expansion stages, here two stages respectively 8a, 8b and 8'a, 8'b, recovering the thermal energy of these gases.
L'énergie thermique ainsi récupérée est convertie en énergie mécanique qui sera transmise à un autre organe 9, 9' permettant d'assurer la propulsion (boîte de transfert ou hélice de propulsion par exemple), et d'alimenter le ou les étages de compression de moyens de compression 5, 5'. The thermal energy thus recovered is converted into mechanical energy that will be transmitted to another member 9, 9 'to ensure propulsion (transfer case or propeller propeller for example), and to supply the compression stage or stages compression means 5, 5 '.

Placed in the exhaust line (not shown) of the engine, the turbine relaxes the exhaust gas from the engine and mechanically actuates, with the aid of the energy thus recovered, the compressor to which it is connected. The compressor thus driven generates a forced air flow 16 which induces an increase in the intake pressure and the amount of air ingested by the engine.
La référence E symbolise les moyens d'échange de fluide entre les moyens de suralimentation 4 et la turbomachine 2. The reference E symbolizes the fluid exchange means between the supercharging means 4 and the turbomachine 2.
Généralement, ces fluides peuvent être : le comburant, le carburant, les gaz d'échappement. Generally, these fluids can be: the oxidizer, the fuel, the exhaust gases.
Les arbres moteurs, respectivement 10, 11 et 17 de la turbomachine et du moteur à combustion interne, comportent des moyens mécaniques de couplage 18 et 19 pour distribuer l'énergie produite à l'arbre de propulsion 20 de l'appareil aéronautique.
Ces moyens mécaniques sont à la portée de l'homme du métier et consistent principalement en assemblages d'embrayages et/ou de boites de réduction/multiplication. The motor shafts, respectively 10, 11 and 17 of the turbomachine and the internal combustion engine, comprise mechanical coupling means 18 and 19 for distributing the energy produced to the propulsion shaft 20 of the aeronautical apparatus. These mechanical means are within the reach of those skilled in the art and consist mainly of assemblies of clutches and / or reduction / multiplication boxes.
La figure 2a illustre un exemple de réalisation d'une turbomachine à turbine libre selon l'invention dans laquelle les moyens de suralimentation 12 comportent un turbocompresseur entraîné par des gaz d'échappement 21 du moteur à combustion interne 1 et dans laquelle lesdits gaz d'échappement sont amenés sur la turbine 8'b de la turbomachine par un conduit 22 afin d'en récupérer le maximum d'énergie et cela en association avec les gaz brûlés venant de la chambre T. FIG. 2a illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a free turbine turbine engine according to the invention in which the supercharging means 12 comprise a turbocharger driven by exhaust gases 21 of the internal combustion engine 1 and in which said gas of exhaust are fed to the turbine 8'b of the turbomachine by a conduit 22 to recover the maximum energy and that in combination with the flue gases from the chamber T.
L'avantage de cette variante est d'offrir une augmentation du rendement de l'ensemble, en permettant d'exploiter, à l'aide de la turbine 8'b, l'énergie résiduelle des gaz d'échappement 21 qui serait autrement perdue. Un effet d'échelle intéressant est que cela nécessite l'emploi d'une turbine libre à plus gros débit, et donc avec des rendements de détente supérieurs. The advantage of this variant is to offer an increase in the efficiency of the assembly, by making it possible to exploit, using the turbine 8'b, the residual energy of the exhaust gases 21 which would otherwise be lost. . An interesting scale effect is that it requires the use of a larger free-flow turbine, and thus with higher expansion efficiencies.
La figure 2b montre une variante dans laquelle les gaz d'échappement du moteur à combustion interne 1 sortant de la turbine 14 sont amenés à l'ensemble des turbines 8'a, 8'b de la turbomachine par un conduit 23 pour traverser ces turbines en association avec les gaz brûlés venant de la chambre V. De plus, dans cette variante, on alimente le compresseur de suralimentation 13 par le prélèvement par une conduite 24 d'un comburant comprimé, par exemple par le premier étage 6'a des moyens de compression 5' de la turbomachine. FIG. 2b shows a variant in which the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine 1 leaving the turbine 14 are supplied to all the turbines 8'a, 8'b of the turbomachine via a pipe 23 to pass through these turbines in addition, in this variant, the supercharging compressor 13 is supplied by the withdrawal of a compressed oxidant via a line 24, for example by the first stage 6 '. compression 5 'of the turbomachine.
Le double usage des étages de compression et de détente à la fois pour le moteur thermique et la turbomachine permet là aussi d'utiliser un compresseur et une turbine au débit plus élevé, et donc de meilleur rendement, tout en mutualisant une partie des composants pour augmenter la compacité et réduire la masse. The dual use of the compression and expansion stages for both the heat engine and the turbomachine also makes it possible to use a compressor and a turbine at a higher flow rate, and therefore a better efficiency, while pooling part of the components for increase the compactness and reduce the mass.
Il autorise également un fonctionnement du moteur thermique à pression de suralimentation plus élevé, avec des gains potentiel de rendement du moteur thermique ou une augmentation de la plage d'utilisation du moteur thermique (notamment pour un fonctionnement étendu en altitude), sans pour autant nécessiter l'ajout d'éléments de suralimentation complémentaires, préjudiciables à l'encombrement. It also allows operation of the engine with higher boost pressure, with potential gains in efficiency of the engine or an increase in the range of use of the engine (especially for extended operation at altitude), without requiring the addition of additional supercharging elements, detrimental to congestion.
La figure 2c décrit une variante dans laquelle lesdits moyens d'échange de fluide entre la turbomachine et les moyens de suralimentation du moteur thermique, comprennent
un étage de compresseur 6'c et un étage de turbine 8'c dédiés aux échanges avec le turbocompresseur 12 du moteur thermique. Ceci permet une compression du comburant en deux étages par le compresseur 6'c de la turbomachine et le compresseur 13 du turbocompresseur 12 raccordés par une conduite 24 et une récupération de l'énergie des gaz d'échappement dans une turbine spécifique 8'c par une conduite 23 raccordant la turbine 14 du turbocompresseur et la turbine 8'c. FIG. 2c describes a variant in which said fluid exchange means between the turbomachine and the supercharging means of the heat engine, comprise a compressor stage 6'c and a turbine stage 8'c dedicated to exchanges with the turbocharger 12 of the engine. This allows compression of the oxidant in two stages by the compressor 6'c of the turbomachine and the compressor 13 of the turbocharger 12 connected by a pipe 24 and a recovery of the energy of the exhaust gas in a specific turbine 8'c by a pipe 23 connecting the turbine 14 of the turbocharger and the turbine 8'c.
L'étage de suralimentation ajouté au moteur thermique étant relié mécaniquement à la turbomachine, il est possible de le contrôler indépendamment du point de fonctionnement du moteur thermique de façon à améliorer la circulation d'air en conditions stabilisées comme en transitoires, notamment dans des conditions critiques de fonctionnement (en altitude notamment) nécessitant un taux de compression élevé des gaz Il est aussi possible, via cette architecture, de récupérer de l'énergie sur l'arbre de la turbine liée de la turbomachine, afin de réduire l'énergie à fournir au compresseur pour la compression des gaz. The supercharging stage added to the heat engine being mechanically connected to the turbomachine, it is possible to control it independently of the operating point of the heat engine so as to improve the flow of air in stabilized conditions as in transients, especially under conditions critical operation (in altitude in particular) requiring a high compression ratio of the gases It is also possible, via this architecture, to recover energy on the turbine shaft linked to the turbomachine, in order to reduce the energy to provide compressor for gas compression.
La figure 2d est une variante de la figure 2c pour laquelle on ajoute deux conduits 25 et 26 de répartition, respectivement du comburant et du gaz brûlés. Figure 2d is a variant of Figure 2c for which there are added two conduits 25 and 26 distribution, respectively oxidizer and flue gas.
Cette variante permet de disposer de deux compresseurs 6'b et 6'c fonctionnant en parallèle en amont de l'étage de compression 6'b de la turbomachine et d'injecter les gaz brûles de la chambre 7' dans la turbine 8'a en plus des gaz d'échappement venant de la turbine 14. This variant makes it possible to have two compressors 6'b and 6'c operating in parallel upstream of the compression stage 6'b of the turbomachine and to inject the burned gases from the chamber 7 'into the turbine 8'a in addition to the exhaust gas from the turbine 14.
Ceci permet un contrôle fin de la suralimentation du moteur thermique tout en donnant une latitude quant au choix des composants de turbine et compresseur. La figure 3 décrit encore une autre variante de couplage entre le moteur thermique et la turbomachine à turbine libre avec récupération d'énergie complémentaire des gaz d'échappement du moteur thermique par le conduit 23 et une conduite 27 de recirculation de gaz d'échappement dont le débit est contrôlé par une vanne 28, par exemple du type d'une vanne EGR. This allows a fine control of the supercharging of the engine while giving latitude in the choice of turbine and compressor components. FIG. 3 further describes another coupling variant between the heat engine and the free turbine turbine engine with additional energy recovery from the exhaust gases of the heat engine via the pipe 23 and an exhaust gas recirculation pipe 27 of which the flow is controlled by a valve 28, for example of the type of an EGR valve.
Cette variante permet ainsi, dans le cadre d'un arrêt de la turbomachine, de disposer en entrée de la chambre de combustion d'un gaz chaud, sous-pression, contenant de l'oxygène qui permet un rallumage de la chambre de combustion 7' et donc de la turbomachine par la suite.
Par ailleurs, dans un objectif de limitation des émissions polluantes de la turbomachine (notamment des NOx), ces gaz permettent de réduire les richesses de fonctionnement (fonctionnement similaire à de l'EGR sur moteur à pistons). Ainsi, la présente invention comportant un couplage d'un moteur thermique avec une turbomachine peut être réalisée de diverses manières. This variant thus makes it possible, in the context of stopping the turbomachine, to have, at the inlet of the combustion chamber, a hot gas, under pressure, containing oxygen which enables the combustion chamber 7 to be re-ignited. and therefore the turbomachine thereafter. Moreover, with a view to limiting the polluting emissions of the turbomachine (in particular NOx), these gases make it possible to reduce the operating wealth (operation similar to EGR on a piston engine). Thus, the present invention comprising a coupling of a heat engine with a turbomachine can be carried out in various ways.
Le couplage entre ces deux systèmes comporte un lien mécanique et des moyens d'échange de fluide par mutualisation d'organes, notamment pour la fourniture du comburant (air) aux différentes chambres de combustion et pour la récupération d'énergie des gaz d'échappement. The coupling between these two systems comprises a mechanical link and fluid exchange means by mutualization of organs, in particular for the supply of the oxidant (air) to the various combustion chambers and for the energy recovery of the exhaust gases. .
