Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicle engines, and in particular to a dynamometer bench heat energy recovery and reuse system. Background Art

[0002] When the engine is undergoing reliability testing, it needs to run at high power for 24 hours, which will generate a lot of heat. In order to ensure that the engine can work normally, an engine coolant thermostat is required, as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown, when the reliability test of the engine 1 is performed, the first temperature sensor 4 at the engine coolant outlet 2 detects that the water temperature is high. After being adjusted by the proportional three-way regulating valve 5, part of the engine coolant dissipates heat through the heat exchange plate 8, and at the same time, part of the engine coolant enters the cooling water tower 9 through the cold circulating water inlet 10, enters the circulating water pump 6 through the cold circulating water outlet 11, and then enters the engine 1 through the engine coolant inlet 3. The cooling circulating water is used to take away the generated heat, realize the cooling function, and ensure that the engine reliability test is carried out normally. In the process of cooling, a large amount of heat energy is taken away by the circulating water and released into the air in the form of the cooling water tower, which increases the load of the cooling circulating water and causes a large amount of heat energy waste. About 30% of the energy can be effectively converted into mechanical work, and the remaining 60% to 70% of the energy is lost through heat dissipation or exhaust. Therefore, the potential benefits of heat recovery and utilization are huge.

The circulating water pump 6 is driven by a DC motor. The heat exchange plate 8 is a fluid-connected indirect heat exchanger.

The ambient temperature sensor 21 is a non-contact temperature measuring instrument, and the controller 22 is a PAC controller.

[0020] Working process of a dynamometer bench heat energy recovery and reuse system:

[0021] During the reliability test of the engine 1, when the outlet water temperature of the engine coolant is high, the engine coolant passes through the first temperature sensor 4, the proportional three-way regulating valve 5, and the heat exchange plate 8 from the engine coolant outlet 2, and then enters the cooling water tower 9 through the cold circulating water inlet 10 to release heat to the air to achieve cooling. The engine coolant passes through the cold circulating water outlet 11, and then is pressurized by the circulating water pump 6, and flows through the engine coolant inlet through the internal cooling circuit of the engine 1; when the controller 22 detects that the temperature of the engine coolant is high through the first temperature sensor 4, the first pneumatic valve 12 and the second pneumatic valve 20 are opened, and the supply and return water pressure difference and the outlet water temperature of the air-cooled exchanger 17 are adjusted through the proportional regulating valve 15, and the supply and return water temperature difference is monitored through the second temperature sensor 13 and the third temperature sensor 19 to ensure that the outlet water temperature of the water supply engine coolant meets the test control requirements. If the outlet water temperature is low, it is necessary to control the proportional regulating valve 15 to make it fully open to prevent the air-cooled radiator from dissipating too much heat, resulting in too low outlet water temperature;

[0022] At the same time, the controller 22 controls the opening of the proportional three-way regulating valve 5 according to the temperature of the first temperature sensor 4, thereby achieving cooling through the heat exchange plate 8. When the program determines that the electric heater 7 needs to be turned on, the controller 22 automatically closes the first pneumatic valve 12 and the second pneumatic valve 20 to reduce heat loss. When the ambient temperature sensor 21 detects that the temperature in the office area is high, the controller 22 automatically closes the first pneumatic valve 12 and the second pneumatic valve 20 according to the stability of the first differential pressure sensor 14 and the second differential pressure sensor, thereby reducing heat loss and achieving effective use of energy.

[0023] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
