Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine crankcase technology, and in particular to a forced closed ventilation system for a high-power gas engine crankcase. Background Technology

[0002] The crankcase is one of the core components of an internal combustion engine. It is mainly used to house the crankshaft, connecting rods, and other moving parts, and undertakes key functions such as lubrication, heat dissipation, and sealing. Its structure is usually divided into two parts: the upper crankcase and the lower crankcase. The upper crankcase is often cast as one piece with the cylinder block and has crankshaft bearing seats machined inside to support the rotation of the crankshaft. The lower crankcase is the oil pan, and its main function is to store lubricating oil and seal the bottom of the crankcase. The crankcase is mostly made of cast iron or aluminum alloy. The former has high strength and low cost, while the latter has significant advantages in lightweight design and is suitable for high-performance engines.

[0003] In the prior art, high-power gas engines are widely used in scenarios requiring high power output or large-scale energy conversion due to their high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and strong fuel adaptability. However, because high-power gas engines have a large amount of oil and gas, they lack suitable PCV control valves, and their crankcase ventilation often adopts an open ventilation system, directly venting the oil and gas, which greatly pollutes the environment. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a forced closed ventilation system for the crankcase of a high-power gas engine. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a forced closed-loop ventilation system for the crankcase of a high-power gas engine. It utilizes a turbocharger to generate negative pressure, forcibly drawing permeable air into the intake pipe. A flame arrester prevents backfire from entering the oil-gas separator, and a damper controls the crankcase to maintain a constant negative pressure value, ensuring stable operation of the gas engine. Oil and gas are separated by the oil-gas separator before entering the engine for combustion. This not only prevents environmental pollution from exhaust gas vents but also improves the efficiency of the gas engine.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a forced closed ventilation system for a high-power gas engine crankcase, including an air filter, an intake pipe fixedly installed on the right side of the air filter, a mixer fixedly installed on the right side of the intake pipe, a gas intake pipe fixedly installed on the upper part of the mixer, a turbocharger fixedly connected to the right side of the mixer via a pipe, a turbocharger mounting base fixedly installed at the bottom of the turbocharger, an intercooler fixedly connected to the right side of the turbocharger via a pipe, an intercooler rear intake pipe fixedly installed on the right side of the intercooler, a crankcase fixedly installed at the other end of the intercooler rear intake pipe, piston blow-by in the crankcase cavity, an oil pan fixedly installed at the bottom of the crankcase, and lubricating oil separated by the oil-gas separator returning to the bottom of the oil pan by gravity, effectively reducing the engine's lubricating oil consumption rate. Simultaneously, the separated oil and gas participate in combustion, improving the efficiency of the gas engine.

A turbocharger supply oil pipe is fixedly installed on the left side of the air filter and below the turbocharger return oil pipe, and the other end of the turbocharger supply oil pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turbocharger mounting base. The oil and gas in the return oil chamber of the turbocharger mounting base enter the turbocharger oil-gas separator through the turbocharger vent pipe, and after separation, enter the vent collection pipe through the vent valve of the turbocharger vent pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a turbocharger oil-gas separator return pipe is fixedly installed on the left side of the oil pan and below the turbocharger oil supply pipe. A crankcase oil-gas separator return pipe is fixedly connected to the left side of the turbocharger oil-gas separator return pipe. A crankcase vent pipe is fixedly installed on the left side of the crankcase. A turbocharger vent pipe is fixedly installed on the upper part of the turbocharger mounting base and to the left of the turbocharger. The oil and gas in the crankcase enter the crankcase oil-gas separator through the crankcase vent pipe, and after separation, enter the vent collection pipe through the crankcase vent pipe air valve.

[0008] Preferably, a turbocharger oil-gas separator is fixedly connected to the left end of the turbocharger vent pipe, the bottom of the turbocharger oil-gas separator is fixedly connected to the return oil pipe of the turbocharger oil-gas separator, a turbocharger vent pipe air valve is fixedly connected to the left side of the turbocharger oil-gas separator through a pipe, a crankcase oil-gas separator is fixedly connected to the upper end of the return oil pipe of the crankcase oil-gas separator, and the left end of the crankcase vent pipe is fixedly connected to the crankcase oil-gas separator. Both oil-gas separators are equipped with pressure detection devices. The pressure value is used to adjust the two sets of vent pipe air valves to keep the pressure value within a reasonable range and to monitor the degree of clogging of the oil-gas separator filter element in real time.

[0009] Preferably, the crankcase oil-gas separator is fixedly connected to a crankcase vent valve via a pipe on the left side, and a vent manifold is fixedly connected to the left side of the crankcase vent valve. The vent manifold is fixedly connected to the turbocharger vent valve, and a flame arrester is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vent manifold. The flame arrester is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the intake pipe. A flame arrester is installed at the front end of the vent manifold to prevent backfire from the gas engine from entering the oil-gas separator and to ensure the safety of the gas engine.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] By utilizing the negative pressure at the front end of the turbocharger in the gas engine, the vents from the crankcase and the turbocharger are forcibly drawn into the intake manifold. Adjustment of the choke maintains a constant negative pressure value in the crankcase and turbocharger oil return chamber, reducing the contact time between the lubricating oil and high-temperature blow-by gases, lowering the degree of lubricating oil oxidation, and preventing engine oil leakage. The negative pressure in the turbocharger oil return chamber facilitates oil return from the turbocharger, preventing turbocharger oil leakage. The oil-gas separator effectively reduces engine oil consumption. The separated oil and gas participate in combustion, improving the efficiency of the gas engine. Attached Figure Description
