Description

L'invention concerne le stockage d'une grande quantité d'énergie devant être libérée et utilisée dans une durée très courte. Un tel stockage est connu du document EP-A-0 976 914 . On pense, en particulier, aux navires équipés de machines thermodynamiques pour leur alimentation en énergie et sur lesquels il est nécessaire, dans des conditions particulières, de disposer d'un apport important d'énergie pendant un très bref instant. C'est particulièrement le cas lorsque le navire doit effectuer des manoeuvres impromptues d'évitements ou des manoeuvres non conventionnelles. On peut également utiliser cette grande quantité d'énergie pour alimenter une catapulte à vapeur, un canon électromagnétique ou un équipement laser.The invention relates to the storage of a large amount of energy to be released and used in a very short time. Such storage is known from the document EP-A-0 976 914 . In particular, ships equipped with thermodynamic machines for their energy supply and on which it is necessary, in particular conditions, to have a large supply of energy for a very short time. This is particularly the case when the ship has to perform impromptu maneuvers of avoidance or unconventional maneuvers. This large amount of energy can also be used to power a steam catapult, an electromagnetic gun or laser equipment.

Art antérieur et problème poséPrior art and problem

Dans le domaine de la propulsion des navires, il est souhaitable de pouvoir procéder à certaines manoeuvres d'urgence ou non conventionnelles. Or, les navires sont équipés de propulseurs principaux et éventuellement de propulseurs transversaux, par exemple d'étrave, disposés dans des tunnels sous la ligne de flottaison. Toutefois, la puissance de ces propulseurs est limitée à celle des moteurs qui les entraînent, soit directement, soit par une énergie secondaire, c'est-à-dire électrique ou hydraulique. Pour diminuer le temps de ces manoeuvres d'urgence, il est donc nécessaire d'apporter une très grande réserve d'énergie à des propulseurs permettant de générer des poussées importantes, pendant un temps limité, ces propulseurs étant différents des propulseurs normaux. La puissance hydrodynamique, qui est nécessaire, ne peut donc pas être produite par les propulseurs habituels du navire. D'autre part, des systèmes d'armement ou de lancement peuvent nécessiter, pour leur fonctionnement, une telle grande quantité d'énergie, fournie dans très courte durée, par exemple une catapulte électromagnétique, un canon électromagnétique, une catapulte à vapeur ou un appareillage laser.In the field of ship propulsion, it is desirable to be able to carry out certain emergency or non-conventional maneuvers. However, ships are equipped with main thrusters and possibly transverse thrusters, for example of bow, arranged in tunnels below the waterline. However, the power of these thrusters is limited to that of the motors that drive them, either directly or by a secondary energy, that is to say, electric or hydraulic. To reduce the time of these emergency maneuvers, it is therefore necessary to provide a very large reserve of energy thrusters to generate significant thrusts, for a limited time, these thrusters being different from normal thrusters. The hydrodynamic power, which is necessary, can not therefore be produced by the usual propellers of the ship. On the other hand, weapons or launch systems may require, for their operation, such a large amount of energy, provided in a very short time, for example an electromagnetic catapult, an electromagnetic gun, a steam catapult or a laser equipment.

Le but de l'invention est donc de proposer un système permettant de pouvoir délivrer cette grande quantité d'énergie dans un très court instant et utilisable sur un navire.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a system for delivering this large amount of energy in a very short time and usable on a ship.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'objet principal de l'invention est un système de stockage et de libération d'une grande quantité d'énergie devant être libérée et utilisée dans une durée très courte, installé sur une installation comportant au moins une machine thermodynamique délivrant, entre autres, des gaz d'échappement, et des moyens de propulsion.The main object of the invention is a system for storing and releasing a large amount of energy to be released and used in a very short time, installed on an installation comprising at least one thermodynamic machine. delivering, among others, exhaust gases, and propulsion means.

Selon l'invention, le système comprend :

  • au moins un ballon principal contenant une très grande quantité de liquide ; et
  • au moins un échangeur de chaleur placé dans le ballon principal, alimenté par les gaz d'échappement de la machine thermodynamique pour porter la quantité de liquide à haute température.
According to the invention, the system comprises:
  • at least one main balloon containing a very large amount of liquid; and
  • at least one heat exchanger placed in the main balloon, fed by the exhaust gases of the thermodynamic machine to bring the quantity of liquid to a high temperature.

L'invention s'applique particulièrement lorsque la machine thermodynamique est une turbine à gaz.The invention is particularly applicable when the thermodynamic machine is a gas turbine.

Il est prévu que le liquide contenu dans le ballon soit de l'eau.It is expected that the liquid in the flask is water.

Dans ce cas, il est très avantageux de stocker cette eau sous haute pression dans le ballon principal.In this case, it is very advantageous to store this water under high pressure in the main balloon.

En particulier, il est prévu d'appliquer une pression supérieure à 220 bars au ballon principal et de la porter à la température de 600°C pour que l'eau stockée soit dans un état critique.In particular, it is intended to apply a pressure greater than 220 bar to the main balloon and bring it to the temperature of 600 ° C so that the stored water is in a critical state.

Dans le cadre de l'application du système sur un navire constituant l'installation, il est avantageux d'utiliser au moins une turbopompe associée à au moins une turbine à grande vitesse alimentée par le ballon principal pour constituer les moyens de propulsion.In the context of the application of the system on a ship constituting the installation, it is advantageous to use at least one turbopump associated with at least one high speed turbine fed by the main balloon to constitute the propulsion means.

Il est également intéressant d'utiliser un réacteur chimique endothermique, capable de produire une quantité de gaz.It is also interesting to use an endothermic chemical reactor, capable of producing a quantity of gas.

Dans le cas où le navire est équipé d'hydrojets, il est possible de faire déboucher directement dans ceux-ci une buse d'hydrojet alimentée directement par l'eau maintenue à 600° sous une pression comprise entre 220 et 400 bars.In the case where the ship is equipped with hydrojets, it is possible to lead directly into them a hydrojet nozzle fed directly with water maintained at 600 ° under a pressure of between 220 and 400 bar.

Dans le cas où le navire est équipé de catapultes, il est possible d'alimenter celles-ci par de la vapeur fournie par un ballon secondaire chauffé par l'eau du ballon principal.In the case where the ship is equipped with catapults, it is possible to supply them with steam supplied by a secondary tank heated by the water of the main balloon.

Description détaillée d'une réalisation de l'inventionDetailed description of an embodiment of the invention

La figure 1 schématise le système de stockage et de libération d'une grande quantité d'énergie selon l'invention.The figure 1 schematizes the system for storing and releasing a large amount of energy according to the invention.

La machine thermodynamique, fournissant l'énergie nécessaire au fonctionnement d'une installation, telle qu'un navire, est, dans ce cas, une turbine à gaz 1 alimentant, par exemple, un alternateur électrique 2 produisant lui-même l'énergie nécessaire au fonctionnement de tout le navire. Indépendamment de cette fonction, la turbine à gaz 1 produit inévitablement une très grande quantité de gaz d'échappement qui sont donc récupérés par une canalisation d'échappement 6 alimentant un échangeur de chaleur 4 placé dans un ballon principal 3 dans lequel est stockée une grande quantité d'eau. La gestion de la température et de la pression du ballon principal 3 peut être réalisée au moyen de plusieurs soupapes 5.The thermodynamic machine, supplying the energy necessary for the operation of an installation, such as a ship, is, in this case, a gas turbine 1 supplying, for example, an electric alternator 2 producing the necessary energy itself. to the operation of the whole ship. Independently of this function, the gas turbine 1 inevitably produces a very large quantity of exhaust gas which is thus recovered by an exhaust pipe 6 supplying a heat exchanger 4 placed in a main balloon 3 in which a large amount of storage is stored. amount of water. The management of the temperature and the pressure of the main balloon 3 can be achieved by means of several valves 5.

L'eau est stockée sous haute pression, par exemple de 220 à 400 bars, et à une température avoisinant les 600°C. Il est ainsi possible de stocker plusieurs millions de kilos Joules dans un ballon de plusieurs mètres cubes. En effet, dans ces conditions, 1 kilo d'eau peut contenir 3 300 kilos Joules par kilo. Bien entendu, une canalisation de dérivation 7 est utilisée pour laisser s'échapper les gaz d'échappement par une cheminée 8, lorsque leur apport calorifique n'est pas nécessaire. Il est ainsi possible de chauffer l'eau du ballon principal 3 en 30 minutes.The water is stored under high pressure, for example 220 to 400 bar, and at a temperature of around 600 ° C. It is thus possible to store several million kilos Joules in a balloon of several cubic meters. In fact, under these conditions, 1 kilo of water can contain 3,300 kilos Joules per kilo. Of course, a bypass line 7 is used to let the exhaust gas escape through a chimney 8, when their heat input is not necessary. It is thus possible to heat the water of the main balloon 3 in 30 minutes.

La grande quantité d'énergie stockée dans le ballon principal 3 doit être transformée, par exemple en poussée pour déplacer le navire, en ligne droite ou pour le faire pivoter très rapidement de 90°.The large amount of energy stored in the main balloon 3 must be transformed, for example in thrust to move the ship in a straight line or to rotate very quickly 90 °.

La figure 2 montre un navire 20 et ses moyens de propulsion. Ces derniers comprennent deux propulseurs transversaux 21 étant placés chacun dans un canal transversal 22 ou 23 et un hydrojet 9 pour sa propulsion principale. La présence de deux canaux transversaux 22, 23, espacés l'un de l'autre d'une grande distance permet, en disposant les propulseurs transversaux 21 dans chaque canal transversal 22 ou 23, dans des directions opposées, d'obtenir un couple sur le navire 20. Le pivotement de celui-ci est alors possible en quelques secondes. L'hydrojet 9 placé à une extrémité du navire peut faciliter également la manoeuvre en faisant avancer ou reculer le navire 20.The figure 2 shows a ship 20 and its means of propulsion. These include two transverse thrusters 21 being each placed in a transverse channel 22 or 23 and a hydrojet 9 for its main propulsion. The presence of two transverse channels 22, 23, spaced apart from each other by a large distance allows, by arranging the transverse thrusters 21 in each transverse channel 22 or 23, in opposite directions, to obtain a torque on the ship 20. The pivoting thereof is then possible in a few seconds. The hydrojet 9 placed at one end of the ship can also facilitate the maneuver by advancing or retreating the vessel 20.

En revenant à la figure 1, on constate la grande quantité d'énergie thermique peut être transformée en poussée de plusieurs manières. Une première consiste à alimenter directement un hydrojet 9 par une sortie du ballon principal 3, délivrant, au moyen d'une buse hydrojet 10, la grande quantité d'énergie. Ainsi, on dispose, en quelques secondes, d'une grande force de propulsion dans un ou plusieurs hydrojets 9.Returning to figure 1 the large amount of thermal energy can be transformed into thrust in several ways. A first is to directly feed a hydrojet 9 through an outlet of the main balloon 3, delivering, by means of a hydrojet nozzle 10, the large amount of energy. Thus, it has, in a few seconds, a large propulsion force in one or more hydrojets 9.

Une autre solution consiste à utiliser une turbine à grande vitesse 11 alimentée par le ballon principal 3 et entraînant une turbopompe 12 ou un autre moyen de propulsion, tel qu'un des deux propulseurs transversaux 21 de la figure 2.Another solution is to use a high-speed turbine 11 fed by the main balloon 3 and driving a turbopump 12 or another propulsion means, such as one of the two transverse thrusters 21 of the figure 2 .

Une troisième solution consiste à utiliser, un réacteur chimique endothermique 16 utilisant un ou plusieurs réactants qui, lorsqu'ils, élevés à haute température, par exemple 600°C, peuvent dégager une grande quantité de gaz pouvant contribuer à la production d'un déplacement rapide du navire.A third solution consists in using an endothermic chemical reactor 16 using one or more reactants which, when raised at high temperature, for example 600 ° C., can release a large quantity of gas that can contribute to the production of a displacement. fast of the ship.

De manière générale, tout convertisseur d'énergie thermique en énergie mécanique, électrique ou chimique peut être utilisé avec le principe de l'exploitation des gaz d'échappement dans le ballon 3.In general, any converter of thermal energy into mechanical, electrical or chemical energy can be used with the principle of the exploitation of the exhaust gases in the balloon 3.

Dans le cas où on désire utiliser la grande quantité d'énergie, ou une partie de celle-ci, pour actionner une catapulte à vapeur 15, on peut utiliser un ballon secondaire 14 placé dans le ballon principal 3 et contenant de l'eau dans des conditions moins extrêmes que celles relatives à l'eau contenue dans le ballon principal 3. Ainsi, il est possible de disposer d'une grande quantité de vapeur pour actionner la catapulte 15.In the case where it is desired to use the large amount of energy, or a part thereof, to operate a steam catapult 15, a secondary balloon 14 placed in the main balloon 3 and containing water can be used. conditions less extreme than those relating to the water contained in the main balloon 3. Thus, it is possible to have a large amount of steam to actuate the catapult 15.

Avantage de l'inventionAdvantage of the invention

L'invention ne nécessite pas de dispositifs moteurs supplémentaires pour fournir et accumuler l'énergie nécessaire devant être utilisée. En effet, les navires sont équipés d'une machine thermodynamique fonctionnement sous le principe de CARNOT et rejetant donc une grande quantité de gaz d'échappement représentant souvent deux à trois fois la puissance mécanique produite par la machine. Dans le cas présent, cette énergie peut être utilisée en partie ou en entier, en parallèle avec la production d'énergie principale qui est la fonction première de la machine thermodynamique utilisée sur le navire. Cette grande quantité de gaz d'échappement peut donc chauffer un ballon relativement rapidement.The invention does not require additional motor devices to provide and accumulate the necessary energy to be used. Indeed, ships are equipped with a thermodynamic machine operating under the principle of CARNOT and thus rejecting a large amount of exhaust gas often representing two to three times the mechanical power produced by the machine. In the present case, this energy can be used partly or entirely, in parallel with the main energy production which is the primary function of the thermodynamic machine used on the ship. This large amount of exhaust gas can heat a balloon relatively quickly.
