Definitions
- the invention relates to an annular diffuser of fuel gas recycling, for a combustion engine internal, and relates more particularly, although not exclusively, to such an annular diffuser for a device air supply, which can be partially fuel, from an internal combustion engine powered by injection, as used in particular in the automotive field.
- the annular diffuser of the invention is intended for recycle in the air stream drawn by the engine, for burn in it, carburetted gases such as gases exhaust containing unburnt hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon vapors or hydrocarbon laden, collected in a canister and coming from the purge of this last, or vapors loaded with combustible products pollutants such as crankcase purge vapors oil.
- carburetted gases such as gases exhaust containing unburnt hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon vapors or hydrocarbon laden, collected in a canister and coming from the purge of this last, or vapors loaded with combustible products pollutants such as crankcase purge vapors oil.
- a disadvantage of this type of device lies in a significant pressure drop created by the master-couple of the auxiliary injection tube. It can be added turbulence, which further increases the pressure drop resultant.
- the auxiliary tube is brought to a temperature high, and there may be a compatibility issue thermal with adjoining parts to the reinjection, such as the intake manifold or the butterfly body, especially if one of them is made of a synthetic material, for example thermoplastic. Means must then be provided to cool the auxiliary injection tube and / or thermally insulate other parts in contact with it.
- ring structure reinjection devices having, on their internal periphery, an injection point, or several injection points, generally evenly distributed in circumferential direction, for example two diametrically opposite injection points on a part intermediate disposed between the downstream part of the body throttle valve and the upstream part of the intake manifold.
- the main disadvantage of this type of device lies in the fact that the gas mixture vein, at the inlet of the collector, is not uniformly distributed over the periphery of this entry, and may lack homogeneity, which results in an unbalanced diet of different engine cylinders.
- a circuit intake for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine working with exhaust gas recycling, and particular for an air compressor injection engine said intake circuit being equipped with a housing air duct which includes an intermediate wall forming a partition and which constitutes, on one side, a wall limiting the purified air chamber, and, on the other side, wall parts which respectively limit a channel of mixture and a distribution chamber adjacent to this channel, this chamber being connected to the mixing channel by passages in the wall of the mixing channel and having connection points for tubes intake of the internal combustion engine, and a flap adjustable air intake being arranged in the part of wall which limits the mixing channel, in the middle of the wall intermediate, the exhaust gas intake being provided downstream of the air intake flap, concentrically to this flap, and the passages in the wall of the canal of mixture being curved in a semicircle and arranged symmetrically with respect to the position of the intake flap air.
- the part of the intermediate wall which limits the mixing channel which is substantially planar in shape, takes, in the region of the adjustable air intake flap, the shape of a tube constituting the articulation span adjustable shutter.
- This tubing forms, in combination with a covering element fixed to the intermediate wall, a annular exhaust gas channel connected to the exhaust gas, and the tubing is surrounded by the element covering so that an annular gap is formed exhaust gas passage, at the side end outlet from the tubing.
- Such an intake circuit incorporates a diffuser exhaust gas recycling ring, which includes an annular channel, supplied with exhaust gas to be recycled, and formed between two organs delimiting between them a annular slot for the passage of exhaust gases to be recycled, this slot being substantially coaxial at the outlet of the tubing, acting as a throttle body, and the slot opening downstream of the annular channel and the outlet of the tubing, in order to diffuse the exhaust gases to be recycled in the air stream exiting from this tubing.
- a diffuser exhaust gas recycling ring which includes an annular channel, supplied with exhaust gas to be recycled, and formed between two organs delimiting between them a annular slot for the passage of exhaust gases to be recycled, this slot being substantially coaxial at the outlet of the tubing, acting as a throttle body, and the slot opening downstream of the annular channel and the outlet of the tubing, in order to diffuse the exhaust gases to be recycled in the air stream exiting from this tubing.
- annular diffuser arise precisely from its integration into a circuit complex structure intake, in which the wall intermediate between the air chamber, the mixing channel and the distribution chamber is arranged in tubing, making butterfly body function, and surrounded by the annular channel of the diffuser defined between this intermediate wall and a covering element.
- the annular diffuser thus obtained is not compatible with throttle bodies and manifolds that are usually used in the very vast majority of power supply installations injection of internal combustion engine.
- the annular diffuser that the circuit includes FR-A-2 582 353 cannot therefore be fitted in retrofitting on known engines.
- the problem underlying the invention is to keep the advantages provided by an annular diffuser recycling of fuel gases such as that contained in the intake circuit according to the aforementioned document, while overcoming at least one of the disadvantages presented above.
- An object of the invention is therefore to propose a annular diffuser of simple, economical structure, ensuring good homogeneity of the gas mixture at the inlet of the collector without creating a significant pressure drop, and which can be retrofitted on known engines and / or in combination with most body types throttle valve and intake manifold, on new generation.
- the annular recycling diffuser for carburetted gases for combustion engine internal air supplied by an intake manifold on which is mounted a butterfly body, and of the type known by FR-A-2 582 353, comprising an annular channel, supplied with gas to be recycled, and formed between two bodies delimiting between them an annular slot for the passage of gases to be recycled, said slot being substantially coaxial at the outlet of said throttle body and opening downstream of the annular channel and said outlet of the throttle body, in order to diffuse the gases to recycle in the air stream leaving said butterfly body, is characterized in that the members are two spacers arranged between the outlet of the throttle body and the inlet of the collector, and substantially coaxial around the axis of symmetry common to said output and input, at least one gas inlet for the annular channel to be recycled being provided at least partially in at least one of the spacers, one of which is an upstream, adjacent spacer at the exit of the butterfly body, and comprising a low wall internal tubular and substantially axial, the face of which internal
- the diffuser ring according to the invention can be mounted as a seal between the exit of a butterfly body and the entry of a intake manifold, without significant interference with the structure of these.
- the upstream spacer comprises also a substantially radial annular blank, integral of the internal tubular wall of the upstream spacer, so that this annular blank can form the upstream wall (by air flow direction) of the annular channel of recycled gases.
- the upstream spacer under the shape of a patch on the butterfly body, or contrary of a single piece with this body, and therefore in the same material, metallic or synthetic, as the latter.
- the annular blank of the upstream spacer is fixed, with interposition of minus an annular seal, against a downstream face substantially radial from the throttle body, around the outlet of this body.
- the upstream spacer is attached to the body butterfly or in one piece with the latter, it can, in variant, also include a peripheral wall external, tubular and substantially axial, preferably secured by its upstream axial end to the annular blank of the upstream spacer, said outer wall of the spacer upstream being fixed, with interposition of at least one joint sealing ring, against the annular blank of the spacer downstream.
- downstream spacer which includes also an external peripheral wall, tubular and substantially axial, integral, preferably by its downstream axial end of the annular blank of the spacer downstream, and against which the upstream spacer is fixed, preferably by its annular blank, with interposition of minus an annular seal.
- the downstream spacer can, similarly, be either one piece, metallic or a synthetic material, with the collector of admission, be reported on the latter, in which case it it is advantageous that the downstream spacer is fixed, by its annular blank and / or its external wall, if applicable, and with the interposition of at least one seal annular, against a substantially radial upstream face of the collector, around the inlet of said intake manifold.
- the upstream spacer When the upstream spacer is an added part which cooperates with a downstream spacer provided with the peripheral wall external, the upstream spacer can be made, simple and economical way, by cutting and stamping of a piece of sheet metal, in which case it is advantageous that two annular seals, for example made of elastomer and preferably coaxial, each in the shape of a half torus, are each overmolded on one of the faces of the annular blank of the upstream spacer which are facing one towards the body with adjustable shutter and the other towards the external wall of the downstream spacer. We thus realize under good conditions the sealing of the annular channel outwards.
- two annular seals for example made of elastomer and preferably coaxial, each in the shape of a half torus
- spacers When gases to be recycled are at a temperature high, as is the case with exhaust gases, spacers must be made of a compatible material with this temperature, that is to say generally made of metal or metallic alloy. In this case, it is advantageous that the external peripheral wall has cooling fins protruding outward from the spacer metallic that understands it.
- this external peripheral wall is additionally crossed by at least one power input substantially radial, for example for vapors fuel from a canister, and / or at least one substantially tangential feed input, for example for exhaust gases, for channel supply gas ring to recycle.
- the whole annular diffuser with the body throttle valve and the intake manifold is made up of four, three or two pieces, it is advantageous that the diffuser is assembled and fixed between the outlet of the body butterfly and the manifold inlet by bolts fixing of said throttle body on an input base of said manifold, such bolts being conventionally provided on assembly and fixing lugs of the throttle body on the manifold input base.
- the characteristics dimensional and shapes of the trailing edges of the parts of the two spacers which delimit the annular slot are determined so as to disturb the flow to a minimum air in the intake manifold inlet channel.
- the axial end downstream of the internal tubular wall of the upstream spacer either shaped like a substantially frustoconical lip converging towards downstream or bevel, inclined from the outer radial face towards the internal radial face of said low wall, to delimit a slot, preferably axial, of substantially cross section converging downstream, the radius differences and / or the axial distances between the inner edges of the spacers which delimit the annular slot, and, where appropriate, the angle of inclination of the frustoconical lip being chosen to optimize call depression by avoiding training noise.
- the width of the slot is such that it avoids the generation of harmful acoustic noise and has a hydraulic impedance compatible with the fuel air flow to be ensured taking into account the vacuum driving.
- a throttle body including the circular outlet 2, with an axis of symmetry X-X, is surrounded by a leg or radial flange 3 of fixing of the body 1, by axial bolts 4, on a radial base 7 surrounding the circular inlet 6, coaxial at outlet 2 around the X-X axis, a manifold body 5 air intake for an injection engine.
- An annular diffuser 8 is mounted in joint between the body outlet flange 3 and the inlet base 7 of the manifold 5, to diffuse, into the air stream aspirated from the outlet 2 of the body 1 at the inlet 6 of the manifold 5 for engine power, recycled fuel gases such as exhaust gases and hydrocarbon vapors.
- the diffuser 8 consists essentially of two annular spacers coaxial around the X-X axis and one of which is a upstream spacer 9, adjacent to the outlet flange 3 of the body 1, and the other a downstream spacer 10, adjacent to the input base 7 of the manifold 5.
- Spacers 9 and 10 are assembled and fixed one against the other and between the flange 3 and the base 7 by the bolts 4 passing through opposite holes made in these elements.
- the upstream spacer 9 essentially comprises a radial annular blank 11 and an internal wall 12, tubular and axial, which is integral by its upstream axial end (towards the flange 3) of the internal radial edge of the blank 11, which is applied and fixed, with interposition of a seal 13 coaxial annular, against the downstream radial face of the flange 3 of the body 1 around its outlet 2.
- the end axial downstream of the tubular wall 12 is shaped as a lip 14 frustoconical converging downstream with an angle of inclination ⁇ , and whose goal is to locally increase the motor depression, thanks to turbulence generated downstream of this lip 14 thus oriented towards the axis of symmetry X-X.
- Such a spacer 9 can be shaped by stamping of a sheet.
- the downstream spacer 10 is essentially made up a radial annular blank 15, coaxial with the inlet 6 of the collector 5, and a tubular external peripheral wall 16 and axial, of a radial thickness much greater than that of the wall 12 of the spacer 9, and integral, by its downstream axial end, from the outer radial periphery of the annular blank 15.
- the spacer 10 is applied, by the radial face upstream of its low wall 16 and with interposition an annular seal 17, similar to seal 13, against the downstream face of the annular blank 11 of the spacer 9, and, by the downstream radial faces, in the extension one on the other, its wall 16 and its annular blank 15, with the interposition of an annular seal 18, against the upstream radial face of the inlet base 7 of the collector 5.
- the spacers 9 and 10 are thus arranged one with respect to the other that they delimit between them a annular channel 19 and an annular slot 20 putting the channel 19 in communication with the circulating air stream between outlet 2 of body 1 and inlet 6 of manifold 5.
- Channel 19 is supplied with fuel gas to be recycled by at minus one inlet duct 21 passing through the peripheral wall external 16 in a substantially radial direction, but can also be substantially tangential by relative to the annular channel 19.
- the annular slot 20 is delimited between the internal radial edge of the annular blank 15 from the spacer 10, downstream, and, upstream, the lip 14 of the tubular wall 12, the internal radial face of which delimits a cylindrical conduit which coaxially extends the outlet 2 of body 1, while its external radial face forms the internal radial wall of the annular channel 19.
- the adjustment of the flow section of the slot 20 is done by the choice of the distance between the downstream trailing edge lip 14 and the edge closest to the annular blank 15 of the spacer 9.
- the axial orientation of the slot 20 results from the fact that the internal radial edge of the blank 15 is substantially in the extension of the cylindrical duct formed by the tubular wall 12.
- the internal radial edge of the blank 15 may be offset radially outward from the tubular wall 12 to give the slot 20 an orientation essentially radial.
- the two spacers 9 and 10 are metallic, for example aluminum or aluminum alloy, while body 1 and manifold 5 are made of synthetic material, but could also be metallic, especially if channel 19 is supplied with gas high temperature fuels, such as exhaust gas.
- the spacers 9 and 10 as well as the body 1 and the collector 5 can each be made of synthetic material.
- FIG. 1B The variant of Figure 1B is not distinguished from that of FIG. 1A only by making the upstream spacer 9 ', which is a single metal piece with the flange outlet 3 'of the butterfly body 1'.
- the 9 'spacer presents also a tubular wall 12 ', the axial end of which downstream, shaped as a bevel 14 'inclined from the radial face external to the internal radial face of the wall 12 'and upstream downstream along the X-X axis, delimits the slot 20, but the annular blank of this spacer 9 'is integrated into the flange 3 'directly adjacent to the annular channel 19 and separated from the external wall 16 of the downstream spacer 10 by a annular seal 17 '.
- the value of the loss of load through the annular slot 20 is determined by the radial and axial distances between the two edges of the slot 20, the diameter of the trailing edge of the bevel 14 'of the upstream spacer 9 'cannot be greater than the diameter downstream spacer 10.
- FIG. 1C there is a upstream spacer 9 'in a single metal part with the flange 3 'of body outlet 1', but, in addition, the spacer downstream 10 'is also made of a single metal part with the 5 'collector.
- the 10 'spacer is integrated by its blank annular to the base 7 'of the collector 5', and its wall external 16 'is crossed by the power input 21' of the annular channel 19 in gas to be recycled, and is applied against the flange 3 'of the body 1' by the annular seal 17 ', the shapes and arrangements of the channel 19 and the slot 20 remaining unchanged.
- FIG. 1D comprises a spacer upstream 9 associated with the flange 3 of the body 1 as in the figure 1A, but cooperating with a 10 'downstream spacer of a single metal part with the 5 'collector, as in the figure 1C, with the only difference that the seal ring 17 'of FIGS. 1B and 1C is replaced by the seal seal 17 of FIG. 1A, on the downstream face of the blank annular 11 of the upstream spacer 9, on the other side of the annular seal 13 on the upstream face of this same blank 11, to seal between the latter and the flange 3.
- the peripheral wall external 16 does not belong to the downstream spacer 10", but at the upstream spacer 9 ".
- This 16" wall, tubular and axial, is integral by its axial end upstream of the external radial periphery of the 11 "radial annular blank of the upstream spacer 9 ", this annular blank 11" being, as in FIGS. 1A and 1D, secured by its radial edge internal of the upstream axial end of the tubular wall internal 12 "of this same upstream spacer 9".
- This upstream spacer 9 is applied by its external wall 16", and with the interposition of a 17 “annular seal, against the 15 "radial annular blank of the downstream spacer 10 ", which can be in one piece with the 5" manifold, as in FIGS. 1C and 1D, or reported against the manifold with interposition of a seal annular, such as the seal 18 in Figures 1A and 1B.
- Figures 2 to 4 show a first example downstream spacer 30 for an annular diffuser seal such as as 8 in Figure 1A.
- the annular blank 35 is extended axially by a tubular end piece 37 with a central passage diverging towards downstream by a rounded wall thinning, which can to be fitted or otherwise connected in the inlet of the intake manifold.
- the external wall 36 is surrounded by a flange 38 which supports four sleeves 39 for fixing bolts.
- the low wall 38 is crossed by a radial supply inlet 41 for reinjection fuel vapor recovered in a canister and delivered to input 41 by a flow control valve (not shown).
- the low wall 36 is also crossed by a tangential supply input 42 (see Figure 2) for the reinjection, for example of exhaust gases from the engine, via another control valve debit (also not shown).
- a tangential feed inlet 42 is surrounded by a flange 43 for connection to a recirculation line for exhaust gas.
- Figures 5 and 6 show an upstream spacer 29 metallic, produced by cutting and stamping a sheet metal part, and intended to cooperate with the downstream spacer 30 of Figures 2 to 4 to form an annular diffuser seal such as 8 in Figure 1A.
- the upstream spacer 29 a a substantially square plan shape with rounded tops and presents, around its thin central tubular wall 32, a annular blank 31 on the two opposite faces of which are overmolded, in opposition, two annular elastomer seals 33 and 34 each having the shape of a half torus, and which are coaxial and of the same radius, and correspond to the joints 13 and 17 of Figure 1A.
- the seal 33 is thus on the face of the annular blank 31 which is applied against the body butterfly, and the seal 34 on the face applied against the external wall 36 of the downstream spacer 30 of FIGS. 2 to 4.
- the blank 31 Radially outside the seals 33 and 34, the blank 31 has four passages 40 (for the fixing bolts), which come opposite the sleeves 39 of the downstream spacer 30, in which is engaged the central wall 32 of the spacer 29, mounted on the spacer 30 to define with it the annular channel and slot.
- Figure 7 shows a second example of a spacer downstream 30 ', which essentially differs from the spacer 30 of Figures 2 to 4 by the fact that its low wall external device 36 'present, projecting laterally outwards, 44 'cooling fins which extend axially to an external flange 38 ', of substantially square plan shape with rounded tops level which are provided with sleeves 39 'for passage of bolts.
- This 30 'spacer provided for the reinjection of hot exhaust gas, is metallic, and its wall 36 ' is crossed by a radial inlet 41 'for supplying hydrocarbon vapors and through a tangential inlet 42 ' exhaust gas supply, via a recirculation to which the spacer 30 'is connected by the flange 43 '.
- the spacer 30 ' may include, under its collar 38', a tubular end piece 37 'for connection to the inlet of the manifold.
- the throttle body 1 and / or the inlet base 7 of the manifold 5 can or can be made of metal or a material synthetic, for example in thermoplastic.
- the realization of one and / or the other one-piece spacers with the throttle body and / or the intake manifold not can only be done if the two elements to combine from one single piece can be made of the same material, metallic or synthetic. If there are gases to be recycled high temperature, at least the spacers must be a material compatible with this temperature, i.e. usually made of metal. Consequently, each of them does not can be in one piece only with an outlet flange throttle body or respectively an input base of the collector which is made of metal.
