Definitions
- the present invention relates to a recharging station, also called a service station, for recharging compressed air with tanks, in particular for motor vehicle tanks.
- These engines are supplied with compressed air by high pressure tanks installed on board the vehicle, in particular on board the boat and these on-board high pressure tanks are filled either by a compressor, itself on board and driven by an electric motor (see French patent application number WO 98/12062) or by transfer of compressed air volume from an external high pressure tank constituting a sort of compressed air supply station.
- the invention aims to provide such a recharging or refueling station with compressed air which is simple and economical in design and whose use can be optimized as required, especially in urban areas, the compressed air recharging station being able to in particular be established and operate in a particularly economical, non-polluting manner, and be easily integrated into the landscape.
- the invention provides a station for recharging pressurized gas, in particular compressed air, characterized in that it comprises a turbine driven by the flow of water from a watercourse and which drives a gas, especially air compressor.
- the station is located near the watercourse.
- the station is located on board a boat which floats on the watercourse. According to other characteristics of the invention:
- FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view a boat bus belonging to a transport network which is illustrated during recharging with compressed air in a ground recharging station in accordance with the teachings of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view similar to that of claim 1 which shows an on-board recharging station according to the teachings of the invention.
- a quay 10 at the edge of a river 12 on which floats a boat bus 14 which is a public transport vehicle whose propulsion means, not shown, comprise, in known manner, an engine using to a source of compressed air constituted by a high pressure tank, not shown, on board the boat and which must be regularly recharged with compressed air.
- a ground recharging service station 16 is arranged on the quay 10 and it notably includes a first station 18 for recharging with compressed air to which the boat 14, when being recharged, is connected by a pipe 20
- the service station 16 can also include a second recharging station 22 which is more particularly suitable for recharging the high-pressure compressed air tank of a land vehicle 24.
- the two stations 18, 22 will of course be connected to a reserve of compressed air under pressure 26 which is here represented schematically in the form of a tank, or tank, which is buried in the quay 10.
- the reservoir is buried underground at a depth making it possible to recover geothermal energy by heating the compressed air.
- the reserve 26 is recharged with compressed air by means of a compressor 28 which is driven by a water turbine 30 which is itself driven or propelled by the flow of water from the watercourse 12.
- the energy source of the turbine 30 is free insofar as it is constituted by the flow of the river.
- the recharging station 16 can be located at a point in the stream such that the turbine 30 is located at the level of a natural or fitted waterfall of the river 12.
- connection between the compressor 28 and the turbine 30 can be achieved by different means adapted according to the location, and the nature of the compressor 28 and the turbine 30.
- the turbine 30 is for example a micro kilowatt of 500 kilowatts which drives an air compressor capable of producing 2000 m3 of compressed air per hour.
- the capacity of the reserve is 4,000 m3 for the supply of 6 bus boats, each of which has a reservoir of 900 m3 of compressed air under a pressure of 300 bars, consumes 300 m3 per hour and supplies every three hours.
- the design according to the invention thus makes it possible, in particular in an urban site, to have a free source of energy, non-polluting, and which is not dangerous to store. It is of course possible to locate along the river 12 several autonomous recharging stations each comprising its water compressor-turbine assembly. for example at each end of the route
- the boat can be motorized or else be a barge moored to a quay or a river bank.
- the refueling or recharging station 16 is here a complete autonomous station and on board the service station boat 40.
- the boat comprises the turbine 30, the compressor 28 the storage tank (s) 26 and one or more recharging stations 18, 22.
- the boat 40 When the boat 40 is self-propelled, it naturally includes an engine, not shown, for its propulsion which can also be a non-polluting compressed air engine of the type mentioned above.
- the station 16 may include a current generator whose drive motor is supplied with compressed air by the station.
- the generator advantageously belongs to an emergency generator set when it is an on-board station, thus constituting an autonomous emergency equipment for the supply of electricity.
- the boat 40 can advantageously constitute a large-format advertising medium in the form of one or more on-board advertising panels 42 carried by gantries 44 or by the non-submerged external face 46 of the hull 48.
- the advertising panel (s) 42A can also be fitted on the quay.
- This arrangement advantageously makes it possible to finance the establishment of such on-board stations 16, in particular when they operate under municipal management for the supply of a fleet of municipal vehicles.
- the invention also has the advantage of reducing the nuisance associated with the installation of vehicle recharging stations with compressed air, insofar as it is no longer necessary for them to be located near an energy source. electric for driving the compressor in rotation, or near a road for refueling the compressor.
- the invention finds its application regardless of the type of boats or ships that one wants to supply with compressed air, and whatever the type of stream, river, river, etc.
