Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automatic detection technology, and more specifically, to a gas engine gas supply device, detection method, and engine. Background Technology

[0002] In gas engine systems, ensuring effective fuel vaporization under all environmental conditions to meet engine operating requirements is a critical technical challenge. To this end, designers typically configure carburetors to have a heating capacity exceeding actual needs in hot environments. However, over time, as the liquid in the system's pipes gradually decreases, transforming into a gas-liquid mixture, the original heating settings may lead to overheating of the gas. In this overheating condition, the gas temperature can soar above 90°C, posing a serious threat to the gas system's seals, potentially causing seal failure, and negatively impacting engine performance. When overheated gas mixes with air, the resulting mixture's temperature rises, which can cause engine knocking, reduce charging efficiency, and affect overall power output and fuel economy. Furthermore, gas pressure control is also a significant issue. Due to factors such as aging pressure regulators, accumulated impurities in the pipes, and clogged filters, gas pressure often deviates from its ideal operating range. Excessively high or low pressures will trigger system fault alarms, such as "high gas pressure" or "low gas pressure" fault codes, thus hindering normal engine operation and reducing equipment reliability and lifespan.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0040] First, let me explain the terms used in this application:

[0041] Carburetor: A device that heats liquid fuel using engine coolant, causing the fuel to vaporize from a liquid state into a gaseous state.

[0042] As described in the background section, in related technologies:

[0043] The gas temperature and pressure supplied by the existing gas engine gas supply device cannot be adjusted in real time according to demand. The gas temperature generally varies in the range of (-30 to 90)℃. The pressure regulator is a mechanical pressure regulating valve, which can only output one pressure and cannot be adjusted according to the actual gas pressure changes.

[0044] To ensure the carburetor can heat the fuel to the engine's operating temperature even at low temperatures, its heating capacity is excessive when hot. After fuel has been used for a period of time, the fuel in the pipeline is mostly a gas-liquid mixture, reducing the need for vaporization and leading to fuel overheating. In some cases, the gas temperature can reach over 90°C. Excessively high gas temperatures can affect the sealing reliability of gas system components. When mixed with air, the resulting gas mixture will have a higher temperature, leading to problems such as knocking and low charging efficiency.

[0045] Gas pressure is affected by the aging of the pressure regulator and the resistance of pipelines and filters, often exceeding the normal range, reporting fault codes for high or low gas pressure, causing the engine to malfunction.

[0046] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of this application provide a gas engine gas supply device. This device uses two pressure and temperature detection devices to monitor the pressure and temperature on the gas supply branch. The detected values ​​are used to adjust a first control valve and a second control valve, thereby regulating the gas pressure and temperature. This application enables automatic adjustment of the gas engine's supply pressure and temperature, improving engine gas supply stability and enhancing engine safety.

[0047] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

The first heat exchanger is used to provide a first cooling source, and the first control valve is used to adjust the flow rate of the first cooling source so that the first cooling source heats the fuel through the vaporizer to obtain gas at a preset temperature.

It is used to adjust the first control valve and / or the second control valve based on the detection values ​​of the first detection device and / or the second detection device.

The gas pressure and temperature sensor is the first detection device, the intake air pressure and temperature sensor is the second detection device, and the electronic control unit (ECU) is the control module. In this application, the preset pressure can be the optimal / ideal pressure obtained based on the current engine operating conditions. The second control valve is adjusted by comparing the detected pressure with the preset pressure. Similarly, the preset temperature in this application can be the optimal / ideal temperature obtained based on the current engine operating conditions. The first control valve is adjusted by comparing the detected temperature with the preset temperature. Of course, this application can also comprehensively analyze the detected temperature, pressure, preset pressure, and preset temperature to adjust the first and / or second control valves. The first and second control valves in this application can be any valve capable of automatically adjusting its opening; this application does not limit the specific type of control valve. It is understood that the gas engine in this application can be a natural gas engine, a biogas engine, a coal gas engine, a hydrogen engine, a methanol engine, etc., and this application does not limit the specific type of gas. This application, through the design of a pressure and temperature detection device and a control valve, achieves automatic adjustment of the air intake device to obtain suitable pressure and temperature, thereby improving the engine's operational stability.

[0060] Optionally, the second control valve includes an electrically controlled pressure regulating valve;

Figure 2 The gas pressure and temperature sensor is installed at the location of the gas pressure sensor to measure the gas pressure after the second control valve. In some embodiments, the intake temperature threshold and gas pressure threshold are determined by looking up a MAP table based on the rotational speed and the intake pressure. In this application, the intake temperature threshold is the preset temperature, and the gas pressure threshold is the preset pressure.

In another embodiment, this application can integrate the intake air temperature, gas pressure, intake air temperature threshold, and gas pressure threshold, analyze the interaction between temperature and pressure, and adjust the first control valve and / or the second control valve. This application does not limit the specific logic of the adjustment.

[0075] If the first difference between the intake air temperature and the intake air temperature threshold is less than or equal to the first preset deviation, the first control valve is maintained.

[0076] If the first difference between the intake air temperature and the intake air temperature threshold is greater than the first preset deviation, the first control valve is adjusted; including:

[0077] If the intake air temperature is greater than the intake air temperature threshold, the opening of the first control valve is reduced; if the intake air temperature is less than the intake air temperature threshold, the opening of the first control valve is increased.

[0078] Similarly, the adjustment methods for gas pressure and gas pressure threshold are the same as those for intake air temperature.

[0083] Optionally, after adjusting the first control valve and / or the second control valve according to the intake air temperature, the gas pressure, the intake air temperature threshold, and the gas pressure threshold, the method further includes:

[0084] The cumulative duration is obtained; the cumulative duration is the time elapsed since the last pressure and temperature adjustment. In some embodiments, the cumulative duration is the time elapsed since the last pressure adjustment; in other embodiments, the cumulative duration is the time elapsed since the last temperature adjustment. The preset duration is the duration between two consecutive pressure and temperature adjustments, i.e., the adjustment period; of course, the adjustment period corresponding to pressure adjustment and the adjustment period corresponding to temperature adjustment can be different, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.

[0085] If the accumulated time is greater than or equal to the preset time, the accumulated time is cleared, and the engine speed, intake pressure before the combustion chamber, intake temperature before the combustion chamber, and gas pressure after the second control valve are retrieved. The gas pressure and intake temperature are then readjusted.

[0086] According to another aspect of this application, an engine is provided, including the gas engine supply device described above, and the gas supply is detected and regulated by the gas engine supply detection method described above.

[0087] By applying the technical solution of this application, the pressure and temperature on the gas supply branch are detected by two pressure and temperature detection devices. The first and second control valves are adjusted based on the detected values, thereby regulating the gas pressure and temperature. This application enables automatic regulation of the gas supply pressure and temperature of the gas engine, improving the engine's gas supply stability and enhancing its safety performance.

[0088] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application, the implementation process of the gas engine gas supply device of this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0089] This proposal provides a gas engine gas supply device with adjustable gas temperature and pressure, which solves the problems of excessively high or low gas temperature and unstable gas pressure in existing gas engines, so that the engine performance is always at its best.

[0090] The system structure provided in this application includes the following components: coolant flow control valve, carburetor, gas pressure and temperature sensor, intake air pressure and temperature sensor, electronically controlled pressure regulating valve, and electronic control unit. The gas supply system layout is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the electronic control unit collects temperature and pressure signals in real time and compares them with the set values. Based on the deviation value, it feeds back the adjustment command to the coolant flow control and electronic pressure regulating valve for closed-loop correction, so that the gas temperature and pressure are always close to the set values ​​and the engine works in the best condition.

[0091] The control strategy provided in this application:

[0092] I. Gas temperature closed-loop control, refer to Figure 4As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0093] 1. The optimal intake air temperature is calibrated based on engine speed and intake manifold pressure.

[0094] 2. Compare the current intake temperature measurement value t1 / intake temperature with the intake temperature requirement value t2 / intake temperature threshold obtained from the table. If the deviation between the intake temperature measurement value t1 and the requirement value t2 / first difference is less than δt / first preset difference, the opening of the coolant flow control valve remains at the current value.

[0095] 3. If the deviation between the measured intake air temperature t1 and the required value t2 is greater than δt, proceed to the next step. If the measured value t1 is less than the required value t2, the current intake air temperature is too low, and the opening of the coolant flow control valve needs to be increased by δn. If the measured value t1 is greater than the required value t2, the current intake air temperature is too high, and the opening of the coolant flow control valve needs to be decreased by δn.

[0096] 4. After each judgment, the ECU starts timing / accumulating the duration. After time t0 / preset duration, it enters the next judgment cycle.

[0097] II. Gas pressure closed-loop control, refer to... Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0098] 1. The optimal value of the gas pressure is determined based on the engine speed and intake manifold pressure.

[0099] 2. Compare the current operating condition gas measurement value f1 / gas pressure with the gas pressure demand value f2 / gas pressure threshold obtained from the table. If the deviation between the gas pressure measurement value f1 and the demand value f2 is less than δf, the coolant flow control valve opening remains at the current value.

[0100] 3. If the deviation between the measured gas pressure value f1 and the required value f2 is greater than δf, proceed to the next step. If the measured value f1 is less than the required value f2, the current gas pressure is too low, and the opening of the electronic pressure regulating valve needs to be increased by δn. If the measured value f1 is greater than the required value f2, the current gas pressure is too high, and the opening of the electronic pressure regulating valve needs to be decreased by δn.

[0101] 4. After each judgment, the ECU starts timing. After time t0, it enters the next judgment cycle.

[0102] This application improves charging efficiency, reduces engine knocking, and lowers gas consumption by precisely controlling gas temperature and intake air temperature. It also improves the accuracy and consistency of gas injection by precisely controlling gas pressure, thereby enhancing the gas pressure adaptability of the gas supply system and reducing after-sales maintenance costs.
