摘要:
A control apparatus for a gas dynamic pressure-wave machine for charging combustion engines. The inflow cross-sectional area of the gas pocket in the high-pressure exhaust channel is controlled in accordance with the desired operating conditions of the engine by a bimetallic flap or valve member as a function of the temperature of the high-pressure exhaust gas.

A gas-to-gas energy exchanger utilizing a commutator repetitively diverts a jet of a first pressurized gas between an energy exchange conduit and an exhaust outlet. Upon entering the energy exchange conduit, the first gas creates a pressure wave which traverses the conduit at sonic velocity and, in so doing, compresses a second gas in the conduit. The now pressurized second gas opens a first check valve and egresses through a primary outlet. When the first gas is diverted to the exhaust passage, a rarefaction wave is created in the energy exchange conduit and traverses the conduit at sonic velocity plus the velocity of the first gas still in the conduit. The energy exchange conduit length may be selected such that the rarefaction wave reaches the downstream end of the conduit before the previously entered slug of first gas to thereby prevent mixing of the first and second gases in the primary outlet; alternatively, the conduit length may be selected to permit any desired degree of such mixing. The rarefaction wave closes the first check valve and opens a second check valve which permits the second gas to enter the downstream end of the conduit. The rarefaction wave also reverses the flow direction of first fluid passed by the wave so that the first fluid is caused to flow back upstream in the conduit to be aspirated into the exhaust passage by the jet of first gas. The commutator is preferably a fluidic oscillator, but may be a mechanically driven device; in either case the frequency is selected to provide desired operation consistent with the conduit length. Two such commutators may be employed, operating in 180.degree. phase relation, so that a constant flow of the second gas may be provided from half cycle to half cycle.

A system for producing a continuous high pressure fluid jet stream useable in underground and above ground mining and drilling for cutting a variety of different materials such as coal, mineral ore, rocks and the like. The system includes a hydroelectric pulsed liquid jet fluid pressure intensifier which employs a high energy electric arc that acts upon liquid to both heat and pressurize it to form a high energy pulsed liquid jet. The high energy pulsed liquid jet is then supplied to a pressure vessel that serves as an accumulator through a substantially zigzag tortuous path and one way check valve. The pressurized liquid is then drawn off as needed in a continuous high pressure fluid jet for performing work.
摘要:
An aerodynamic pressure-wave machine which includes a stator and a celled rotor, the stator being provided with gas inlet and outlets adjoining one side of the rotor at one end of the rotor cells and air inlets and outlets adjoining the opposite side of the rotor at the opposite end of the rotor cells. The stator also includes a compression recess located after the air inlet, as viewed in the direction of rotation of the cells, and a web located in the gas outlet. This web extends radially for the entire height of the gas outlet and its width is approximately the same as one of the rotor cells. The function of the web is to cause pressure waves to impinge upon the compression recess at the highest and lowest speeds within the greatest part of the operating range of the machine.
