Abstract
A low-temperature turbocompressor structural arrangement for an internal combustion engine for using energy that is available but unused during operation to cool the air supplied to the engine by supercharging. The temperature of the air compressed by the compressor is reduced by a cooling system and the air is then conveyed to a further turbine actuated by the intake air flow of the engine. The structural arrangement may be mounted in full or in part, and also each component may be fitted into existing systems.
Claims17
A low pressure turbo compressor arrangement for an internal combustion engine comprising;
- an exhaust gas turbine configured to receive exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine and to discharge the exhaust gas to an ambient environment;
- a compressor configured to receive and compress an ambient intake air stream and output a compressed air stream, wherein the compressor and the exhaust gas turbine are mechanically connected to a first motor;
- an intercooler coupled to an output of the compressor, wherein the intercooler is configured to receive the compressed air stream from the compressor and discharge a cooled compressed air stream;
- an air intake turbine configured to receive the cooled compressed air stream from the intercooler and to discharge an expanded cooled air stream to an internal combustion engine;
- a first generator mechanically connected to the air intake turbine;
- and,
- a relief valve in fluid communication with the expanded cooled air stream from the air intake turbine, wherein the relief valve discharges excess expanded cooled air stream.
