AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional high-pressure EGR technology in high-horsepower natural gas engines suffers from turbocharger operating characteristics that cause the turbine inlet pressure to be lower than the turbine outlet pressure under low-to-medium speed and high-load conditions, which cannot meet the EGR rate requirements. Therefore, auxiliary measures are needed to improve the EGR rate, which also increases engine fuel consumption.

Method used

A diffuser and annular tubular air intake device are installed inside the compressor of the turbocharger to introduce the exhaust gas in front of the vortex into the diffuser and mix it with the fresh air at the compressor outlet. The low static pressure at the diffuser inlet is used to increase the EGR rate and reduce pumping losses.

Benefits of technology

By mixing exhaust gas with fresh air before the turbine, the EGR rate is improved, engine fuel consumption is reduced, pumping losses are decreased, and emission regulations are met.

[0017] As Figures 1-4 Shown, a kind of for large horse power natural gas engine's supercharging structure, including supercharger compressor 1, supercharger intermediate body 2 and supercharger volute 3, supercharger compressor 1 and supercharger intermediate body 2 are connected by supercharger volute 3, and supercharger compressor 1 is provided with diffuser 4 and compressor impeller 5, and supercharger intermediate body 2 is provided with intermediate body impeller, and compressor impeller 5 and intermediate body impeller are connected by driving shaft 6, further include air induction device 7, air induction device 7 is annular tubular, and is spirally arranged around the air inlet 8 of supercharger compressor 1, and the outer wall of air induction device 7 is connected with the outer wall of supercharger compressor 1, air induction device 7 is provided with air inlet and air outlet, and the air outlet is communicated with diffuser 4, and the air inlet introduces the waste gas before the vortex into diffuser 4.

[0018] The turbocharger mainly utilizes exhaust gas to drive a turbine, which involves that exhaust gas discharged by an exhaust manifold pushes turbine blades to drive a coaxial compressor impeller 5, so as to compress intake air; the diffuser 4 in the technical solution is a vaneless diffuser; the compressor adds an air bleeding device 7 on the basis of keeping the parameters of the original compressor impeller, the diffuser 4 and the volute flow channel unchanged; the air outlet of the air bleeding device 7 is in communication with the diffuser 4, so that the air bleeding can smoothly enter the inside of the diffuser 4 of the compressor through the air bleeding device 7.

[0019] The traditional high-pressure EGR is from pre-turbine air bleeding; exhaust gas is mixed with fresh air after being led out from the compressor and then enters the cylinder to participate in combustion, while the technical solution of the application is to lead the pre-turbine exhaust gas into the diffuser and mix with fresh air at the outlet of the compressor before entering the cylinder, which fully utilizes the low static pressure at the inlet of the compressor diffuser, improves the positive static pressure difference for driving exhaust gas to enter the engine intake system, improves the EGR rate, reduces the pumping loss of the engine, and when designing the air bleeding device, the spiral of the air bleeding device is provided with a scroll air inlet section to make the air bleeding gas entering the diffuser have a higher tangential velocity, so as to reduce the energy loss of the air bleeding and the gas mixing at the outlet of the impeller; the air bleeding structure with scroll air inlet is adopted, the air bleeding gas entering the diffuser has a higher tangential velocity, which is called air bleeding with scroll air inlet; the efficiency and pressure ratio of the air bleeding compressor with scroll air inlet are higher than the corresponding values of the air bleeding compressor without scroll air inlet; the total pressure loss coefficient of the diffuser of the air bleeding compressor with scroll air inlet is smaller than the corresponding value of the air bleeding compressor without scroll air inlet; the scroll air inlet can effectively reduce the tangential velocity difference between the outlet of the air bleeding structure and the outlet of the compressor impeller, reduce the flow loss and mixing loss caused by the air bleeding entering the diffuser, and improve the adiabatic efficiency of the air bleeding compressor.
