Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve plate with a coolant channel for a compressor for compressed air generation.
  • the invention further relates to a method for cooling compressed air in a valve plate of a compressor, wherein the valve plate comprises a coolant channel.
  • Modern commercial vehicles which are used in rail or road traffic, are equipped with many compressed air consuming subsystems. These subsystems include, for example, a service brake operated by compressed air and air suspension.
  • the supply of compressed air consumers with compressed air is realized by means of a compressed air supply device comprising a compressor. Ambient air is drawn in by the compressor, compressed and purified in other components of the compressed air supply device prior to use in the consumers of foreign matter such as oil and water.
  • the air is deprived of the humidity in an air filter cartridge downstream of the compressor.
  • This air filter cartridge contains a drying agent that can extract moisture from the air only up to a maximum of 80 ° C. Therefore, a lower maximum allowable temperature of 60 ° C. is normally specified to allow effective drying.
  • the compressed air reaches at the initial opening of the piston chamber temperatures of up to 320 0 C. At the output of the compressor itself, there can be up to even 220 0 C. This results in the need to cool the air between the compressor and the air filter cartridge.
  • a pressure line with several meters in length is used in the prior art, wherein the heated compressed air can cool during the passage of the pressure line from the compressor to the air filter cartridge without further cooling measures.
  • the disadvantage here is the pressure loss due to the long line and the structural complexity caused by the pressure line itself.
  • a so-called supercooling plate is inserted in the cylinder head of the compressor above the valve plate, which is flowed through by a coolant and acts as a heat exchanger. Through them it is possible to reduce the outlet temperature of the compressed air to 140 to 150 0 C at the compressor outlet and the subsequent pressure shortening the line by 5 to 30%.
  • An example of such a supercooling plate can be found in DE 195 35 079 C2.
  • the disadvantage here is in particular the complex construction resulting from the integration of the supercooling plate as a separate component in the cylinder head of the compressor, as this additional seals are necessary.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a valve plate which, without a supercooling plate, provides at least the same cooling performance in comparison with a combination of a conventional valve plate and a supercooling plate.
  • the invention builds on the generic valve plate by the fact that the coolant channel, as seen from a piston chamber of the compressor, runs at least partially between the piston chamber and an air outlet valve arranged in the valve plate.
  • the coolant channel As seen from a piston chamber of the compressor, runs at least partially between the piston chamber and an air outlet valve arranged in the valve plate.
  • the coolant channel runs at least partially meander-shaped in a bottom of the valve plate. Due to the meandering course of the coolant channel in the bottom of the valve plate, the contact surface of the coolant channel is increased with the valve plate, whereby a higher cooling capacity can be provided.
  • an air duct runs meandering in a body of the valve plate.
  • the meandering course of the air duct increases the achievable cooling capacity, since the contact surface of the medium to be cooled is increased with the cooled valve plate.
  • a plurality of air outlet valves are arranged in a body of the valve plate.
  • the simultaneous use of several air outlet valves reduces throttling losses caused by a limited valve cross-section.
  • the heat development at the air outlet valves is also reduced.
  • the invention further relates to a compressor with a valve plate according to the invention.
  • the generic method is further developed by the refrigerant being directed at least partially between the piston chamber and an air outlet valve arranged in the valve plate, viewed from a piston chamber of a compressor.
  • the advantages and peculiarities of the inventive valve plate are also implemented in the context of a method. This also applies to the following particularly preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention.
  • the compressed air is passed meander-shaped in a body of the valve plate.
  • the compressed air flows through a plurality of air outlet valves in a body of the valve plate.
  • Figure 1 is an external view of a compressor with cut open piston housing
  • Figure 2 is an exploded view of a valve plate according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a bottom of a valve plate according to the invention
  • Figure 4 is a plan view of a body of a valve plate according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows an external view of a compressor with a cut-open piston housing.
  • the illustrated compressor 14 comprises a cylinder head 16 and a piston housing 18, wherein a valve plate 10 is arranged between the piston housing 18 and the cylinder head 16.
  • the compressor is driven via a shaft 26.
  • the piston housing 18 is cut open in the vicinity of the valve plate 10 so that a piston chamber 40 is visible. Inside the piston chamber 40, a piston, which is not visible in the illustration, moves up and down.
  • FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of a valve plate according to the invention.
  • a coolant channel 20 is inserted, which extends meandering within the bottom 28. Towards the top, the coolant channel 20 is delimited by the body 30. Furthermore, an air inlet valve 36 in the central region of the bottom 28 is visible. In the body 30, two air outlet valves 22, 24 are arranged, via which the compressed air flows into the valve plate 10. The coolant channel 20 conceals a portion of the air outlet valves 22, 24, viewed from the floor 28 to the body 30. The compressed air can finally leave the valve plate 10 again through an air outlet 38 in the cover 34 of the valve plate 10.
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a bottom of a valve plate according to the invention.
  • the illustrated bottom 28 with the meandering coolant channel 20 has a plurality of holes through which air can pass through the bottom 28.
  • an air inlet 46 is arranged, which belongs to the air inlet valve 36, not shown here.
  • the coolant channel 20 flows around two piston chamber air outlets 48, which belong to the air outlet valves 22, 24 (not shown here).
  • the arrows drawn in the coolant channel 20 represent an exemplary direction of flow of the coolant within the bottom 28
  • the piston chamber air outlets 48, together with membranes, not shown here, form the air outlet valves 22, 24, the membranes being partially obscured by the coolant channel 20, as can be seen from FIG. 2, viewed from the piston chamber 40. This is especially true when the line of sight is perpendicular to the plane of the valve plate.
  • Figure 4 shows a plan view of a body of a valve plate according to the invention.
  • the illustrated body 30 has an air guide 12 in which the air flowing in through the piston chamber air outlets 48 is directed to an air outlet 38.
  • the Kolbenraum povertyauslässe 48 are, as well as the air inlet 46, holes through the body 30.
  • the air outlet 38 is no hole in the body 30 but as a bore in the cover 34, not shown here, the valve plate available.
  • the air guide 12 serves to guide the compressed air from the Kolbenraumluftauslässen 48 to the air outlet 38.
  • a coolant inlet 42 and a coolant outlet 44 are shown, through which the coolant circulate through the coolant passage 20 shown in Figure 3 can.
