    Fuel gas supply and ignition device for a gas engine
    The present invention relates to a fuel gas supply and ignition apparatus for a gas engine having a combustion chamber injection nozzle, on the circumference of which a plurality of injection channels for a main fuel gas are provided, the injection channels being connected to a main fuel gas supply line for main fuel gas, and in the fuel gas supply and Igniter also a pre-combustion chamber is provided, in which a Zündbrunstoff supply line opens.
    For the purposes of the present invention, a gas engine is understood to mean a combustion engine having a piston, in particular a reciprocating piston, that is to say a piston engine.
    The known combustion methods of spark-ignited gas engines are based on the principle that either combustible mixture is supplied to the working space during filling of the cylinder in the suction stroke, or is formed in the working space by injection of fuel gas during the compression stroke. The combustible mixture is then ignited by spark ignition or injection of a small amount of auto-ignitable liquid fuel. Here, the fuel provided for combustion is already mixed with the combustion air when it is ignited. The ignition can be effected directly in the cylinder or indirectly by ignition in a pre-combustion chamber. Ignition in the pre-combustion chamber is by spark ignition, causing a hot gas jet emerging from the pre-combustion chamber into a main combustion chamber (cylinder) which ignites the combustible mixture in the main combustion chamber, the combustible mixture subsequently being traversed by generally turbulent flame fronts. By ignition in the main combustion chamber and the pressure increase achieved in this way, the desired mechanical useful work is performed in the power stroke on the piston. These very well-proven and fundamentally robust combustion processes all have the disadvantage that, in the case of an unfavorable fuel / air ratio, they tend to cause misfires or pre-ignition, which can lead to high pollutant emissions, poor efficiency and / or extreme mechanical loads. Such false or pre-ignition jeopardize the safe and reliable operation of the gas engine. In particular, rapid load changes can lead to the above-described unfavorable variations in the fuel / air ratio. This limits the use of gas engines with high demands on the load cycle speed.
    A known solution to overcome this disadvantage is found for example in US8,800,529 B2 in which an air-intake combustion process is sucked in the suction air and sucked in the compression stroke compressed the main fuel gas, similar to diesel fuel in self-igniting diesel engines, just before the piston top dead center reached via a multi-hole nozzle is injected. Because of the circumstance that gas has a very high autoignition temperature, the main combustion gas is ignited by means of a so-called pilot injection in which a small amount of self-ignitable liquid fuel is injected into the main combustion chamber. The combustion of the main combustion gas then proceeds as diffusion combustion along the surface of the main combustion gas jets. As is known, diffusion combustion takes place without premixing of air and fuel, in that the oxygen required for combustion diffuses into the flame via the edge of the flame. The flame therefore "sucks" oxygen from the immediate environment for combustion. The flame is therefore becoming increasingly poorly supplied with oxygen to the flame core and the fuel burns only partially in the flame core. Since only air is compressed in this combustion process, there is no danger of pre-ignition. Misfires are prevented by the very safe self-ignition of the liquid fuel in the pilot injection.
    From EP 520 659 A1 and EP 778 410 A1, injection valves for such a combustion process, also called dual-fuel valves, are known. In the injection valve, the valves for injection of gaseous fuel for combustion and of liquid fuel for pilot injection for ignition are arranged concentrically.
    The main disadvantage of this combustion method is the need to provide two fuels, namely high-pressure gas as the main fuel gas and diesel fuel for pilot injection, and to provide the dual storage and supply devices required for this purpose.
    US 2,799,255 A describes an air intake, spark ignited gas engine operated on natural gas and operating on the diffusion firing process. In order to ignite the Gasmo¬tor safely and reliably in all load ranges, with false and Vor¬zündungen should be avoided, a pre-combustion chamber is provided, which is connected via a flow channel with the cylinder chamber and the main combustion chamber in the cylinder. During compression, air in the cylinder is compressed and the compressed air is simultaneously fed into the pre-combustion chamber. Fuel is supplied under pressure to the pre-combustion chamber which mixes with the compressed air in the pre-combustion chamber. The mixing ratio between fuel and air in the pre-combustion chamber should be so measured that the fuel / air mixture can not ignite independently. Before the end of the compression stroke, gaseous main fuel is supplied into the main combustion space in the amount necessary for the respective load. Shortly before the end of the compression stroke, the fuel / air mixture in the pre-combustion chamber is then ignited by means of a spark plug. The hot combustion gas flows through the flow channel into the main combustion chamber. In this gas flow, the flow of the gaseous main fuel is directed, whereby a turbulent mixing of the main fuel with the compressed air occurs and whereby the main fuel / air mixture is ignited. The combustion of the main fuel / air mixture takes place along a flame front in the form of a diffusion combustion process.
    A problem of the gas engine of US 2,799,255 A is to be seen in the fact that the intended design of the combustion chamber for a diffusion combustion is unfavorable. Combustion by diffusion combustion occurs in the main combustion chamber at the interface of the main combustion gas stream, with main injection gas being constantly replenished by the injection. However, due to the configuration of the main combustion chamber and the inflow of combustion gas from the pre-combustion chamber, locally limited combustion results. This also means that the oxygen available for combustion is not used optimally. As a result, only an unreliable, slower and partially incomplete combustion takes place, which leads to increased pollutant emissions and reduced efficiency.
    In order to improve this situation, according to the invention a combustion chamber injection nozzle is provided in the main combustion chamber, over the circumference of which a plurality of heat transfer gas filling channels are arranged, which are connected to the pre-combustion chamber. It is therefore proposed in a conventional and proven form, the injection of Hauptbrenngases via a centrally located multi-hole nozzle, but as a source of ignition in the main combustion chamber hot combustion gas is used, which exits from a pre-combustion chamber via torch channels in the combustion chamber injection nozzle in the Haupt¬ combustion chamber. The hot combustion gas thus arises according to the invention by combustion of a generated in the pre-combustion chamber and ignited air / fuel gas mixture. Ignition in the main combustion chamber is thus effected by the hot combustion gas exiting the combustion chamber injection nozzle instead of self-igniting liquid fuel injected into the main combustion chamber, as in conventional du-al / fuel injection valves of the prior art. By arranging the injection channels and the flare channels at the combustion chamber injection nozzle, on the one hand, a very compact design of the fuel gas supply and ignition device can be realized. On the other hand, it ignites a plurality of diffusion flames which optimally suck the oxygen available for combustion in the main combustion staple, whereby stable, well-conducted and rapid combustion takes place. As a result, the quality of the combustion and the efficiency can be improved and the pollutant emission of the gas engine can be reduced. The fuel gas supply and ignition device according to the invention can be used for both 4-stroke gas engines and 2-stroke gas engines.
    It is particularly advantageous if the injection channels and the flare channels are arranged alternately side by side in the circumferential direction. This results in circumferentially offset star-shaped inflows of main combustion gas and hot combustion gas into the main combustion chamber, whereby a reliable ignition and a particularly good spatial distribution of the diffusion flames in the main combustion chamber can be achieved. This can be further improved by arranging the mouth regions of the injection channels and the flare channels in the main combustion chamber at substantially the same axial position of the combustion chamber injection nozzle.
    The radial alignment of the mouth regions of the injection channels and the Fackelka¬ nals in the main combustion chamber a possible unimpeded inflow of Haupt¬brenngas and hot combustion gas is realized in the main combustion chamber. This further improves the stable and good guided combustion.
    If an annular precombustion chamber, which is connected to the pre-chamber via a pre-combustion chamber line and into which the torch channels are opened, is arranged in the fuel gas supply and ignition device, a very compact embodiment of the fuel gas supply and ignition device can be realized.
    By providing a mechanical, differential pressure actuated valve between the main fuel gas supply line and the injection ports, which is controlled by the pressure of the main fuel gas and closes or blocks the injection ports, it can be achieved that a main fuel gas valve can be located locally away from the high thermal load regions. On the other hand, this also makes possible a very compact embodiment of the fuel gas supply and ignition device, which can thus be arranged in the region of the cylinder head, in which the valves are also arranged. Last but not least, the resulting dead space for the main combustion gas can thus also be reduced, as a result of which the pollutant emissions of the gas engine can also be reduced and less space is available which could pollute.
    The mechanical valve is preferably designed as a valve tappet with a first piston at one axial end and with a second piston axially spaced second piston, wherein the first piston is connected by a shaft to the second piston and between the first and second piston a control chamber is formed which is connected to the main fuel gas supply line. Thus, a differential piston is realized which can be controlled by the acting pressures. The mechanical valve can thus be used with the same geometry in various gas engines.
    To this end, for a simple structural design advantageously a piston sealing surface may be provided on the first piston, which sealingly cooperates with a valve sealing surface in the fuel gas supply and ignition device, and the second piston is disposed in a control recess of the fuel gas supply and ignition device, sealing the peripheral surface of the second piston cooperates with the control recess.
    In order to be able to restrict the movement of the valve tappet to the necessary, it is advantageously provided that a stop pin adjoins the second piston axially, which cooperates with a stop in the fuel gas supply and ignition device. In particular, the closing speed can also be kept low. because only the way necessary for the function has to be covered.
    If a spring is arranged around the stop pin between the stop and the second piston, the spring can assist the closing movement and also ensure a defined position of the mechanical valve.
    A particularly advantageous embodiment, the second piston is arranged in a valve housing in which a valve stop is formed, which cooperates sealingly with an end face of the second piston. Thereby, on the one hand, the leakage of Haupt¬ combustion gas can be reduced by the mechanical valve and on the other hand, the mechanical valve can thus be carried out as an insert, which can be easily replaced.
    With a valve spring arranged between the end face of the second piston and the valve housing, the closing movement can again be assisted and also a defined position of the mechanical valve can be ensured.
    Due to the thermal conditions in the fuel gas supply and ignition device, it may be advantageous if a number of sealing elements are arranged on the peripheral surface of the second piston. The sealing elements can be adapted to the thermal loads. In addition, excessive leakage of main fuel gas is effectively prevented by the sealing members.
    In order to be able to remove a leakage of main combustion gas, it can be provided that a leakage line opens away in the control chamber facing away from the end of the control recess and closed by the second piston.
    In a particularly advantageous embodiment it can be provided that the Lecka¬ conduction is connected to a Zündbrennstoff supply line. Thus, any leakage of main fuel gas in the pre-combustion chamber is used, which increases the efficiency of the gas engine. It is particularly advantageous here for the same medium to be used for the main combustion gas and the pilot fuel for the pre-combustion chamber, which may only be at different pressure levels. Apart from this, advantageously no leakage line is required which leads away from the gas engine.
    Particularly advantageously, the main combustion gas valve and / or the pre-combustion chamber valve are designed as an electrically actuated, electronically controlled valve. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to control both the time and the duration and thus also the amount of injection of main combustion gas and also of ignition fuel for the pre-combustion chamber completely independently of one another and, above all, also quickly. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to react quickly to changing properties of the main combustion gas and / or of the ignition fuel, and, on the other hand, to thereby adapt the injection to different load conditions. This makes it possible in particular to ensure a reliable ignition and optimum combustion during rapid load changes
    The subject invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 10, which show by way of example, schematically and not restrictively advantageous Ausgestal¬tungen the invention. It shows

    1 shows a section of a gas engine 1 with a cylinder block 2 and a cylinder head 3 with valves 4 only indicated. In the cylinder block 2, a cylinder 5 is arranged, in which a piston 6 reciprocates. This basic construction and function of such a reciprocating internal combustion engine is well known, so will not be discussed here. In the cylinder head 3, a Brenngaszu¬ guiding and ignition device 10 according to the invention is further arranged, is supplied with the main combustion gas in the Hauptbrenn¬ chamber 11 of the cylinder 5 and with the combustion in the Hauptbrenn¬ chamber 11 is ignited, as will be explained in detail below ,
    2 shows an enlarged section through the cylinder 5 and the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 with their main parts. The Brenngaszuführungs- and Zünd¬ device 10 is arranged in the cylinder head 3 so that it protrudes with a combustion chamber injection nozzle 12 into the main combustion chamber 11, which is formed essentially by the free space in the cylinder 5 between the piston 6 and the cylinder head 3. The combustion chamber injection nozzle 12 is disposed at an axial end of the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10. The combustion chamber injection nozzle 12 is disposed at a central portion 13 of the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10, which in turn is disposed at an upper portion 14 of the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10. The upper part 14, the connections shown in Fig.10 for Zündbrennstoff, main combustion gas, Steuerlei¬ tions, electrical supply, etc., are also provided, as will be described in more detail below.
    The division into combustion chamber injection nozzle 12, middle part 13 and upper part 14 is of course arbitrary here. The fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 described here gives a fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 that can be manufactured in a favorable manner.
    In the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10, here in the middle part 13, a Vorbrenn¬ chamber 15 is provided, which is formed substantially as a recess in the Mitteilteil 13. In the pre-combustion chamber 15 opens a third ignition device 16, such. a spark discharge spark plug, a corona spark plug, a plasma spark plug, a laser igniter, etc.
    Likewise, a pilot fuel feed line 17 for ignition fuel for the pre-combustion chamber 15, in which a pre-combustion chamber valve 18 is arranged, opens into the pre-combustion chamber 15, as shown in FIG. 3, which shows a different cutting guide. For this purpose, the Vorbrenn¬ chamber valve 18 as an electrically operated, electronically controlled Vorbrennkammerven¬til 18, for example, a solenoid valve for gaseous fuels, be executed and arranged in the upper part 14. The injection nozzle 19 of the Vorbrennkammerventils 18 opens imge shown embodiment in a Zündbrennstoffraum 20, which merges into the Zündbrennstoff supply line 17. Thus, via the pre-combustion chamber valve 18, pilot fuel can be supplied via the pilot fuel feed line 17 into the pre-combustion chamber 15, as indicated by the arrow in FIG.
    In the upper part 14 is further arranged a, preferably electrically operated, electronically controlled Hauptbrenngasventil 21, whose injection nozzle 22 opens into a Hauptbrenngasraum23 (Figure 2). The main combustion gas space 23 passes into a main combustion gas supply line 24, via which main fuel gas can be supplied into the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12.
    Generally speaking, the main fuel gas valve 21 is disposed in the main fuel gas supply passage 24 and controls the supply of main fuel gas into the main combustion chamber 11.
    In addition, in the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 according to the advantageous embodiment described, a mechanical, differential-pressure actuated valve 25 is arranged, here partly in the center part 13 and partly in the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12.
    The mechanical valve 25 will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
    The mechanical, differential pressure operated valve 25 consists of a valve stem 30 in the form of a differential piston. The valve stem 30 comprises a first piston 31 at ei¬nem axial end of the valve stem 30 and a second piston 32, which is arranged in the axial direction spaced from the first piston 31. The first piston 31 and the second piston 32 are interconnected by a shaft 33 to form the valve tappet 30. The diameter D1 of the first piston 31 and the diameter D2 of the second piston are both larger than the diameter D3 of the shaft 33, so that a first piston surface A1 forms on the first piston 31 from shaft 33 and a second piston surface A2 on the second piston 32. To the second piston 32 can axially connect a Anschlag¬zapfen 34, which forms the second axial end of the valve stem 30. On the outer peripheral surface of the second piston 32 sealing elements 35 may be arranged.
    Provided in the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12 is an axial, non-continuous valve recess 40, here in the form of a blind hole, whose axial, closed end forms a sealing surface 41 sealingly cooperating with an associated piston sealing surface 36 on the first piston 31 (Figure 6). To form a valve, the valve stem 30 is arranged with its first axial end with the first piston 31 in the valve recess 40. In the illustrated embodiment, the piston sealing surface 36 is provided on the free end surface of the first piston 31, and the valve sealing surface 41 is formed through the axial end of the valve recess 40. The first piston 31 is arranged radially spaced from the valve recess 40, whereby main combustion gas can flow around and along the first piston 31. The geometric shape of the valve sealing surface 41 and the piston sealing surface 36 plays no role here.
    The closed axial end of the valve recess 40 is connected via a plurality of radially aligned, continuous injection channels 37 in the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12 with the outer peripheral surface 47 of the combustion chamber injection nozzle, and thus in the Einbauitua¬ tion also with main combustion chamber 11, wherein the first piston 31 depending on the position of the valve stem 30, the inflow of main fuel gas to the injection channels 37 blocks (Figure 6 above) or releases (Figure 6 below). The injection channels 37 are arranged, preferably distributed at regular intervals, over the circumference of the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12. Due to the radial orientation of the injection channels 37, a radial inflow of the main combustion gas into the main combustion chamber 11 is achieved. Optionally, the injection ports 37 may also have a slight tangential orientation to additionally achieve a tangential inflow component.
    In the middle part 13, an axial, non-continuous control recess 42 is provided which is coaxial with the valve recess 40 and is arranged thereafter. In the Steueraus¬nehmung 42, the second axial end with the second piston 32 of the valve stem 30 is arranged an¬. The peripheral surface of the second piston 32 is sealed relative to the Steueraus¬nehmung 42, for example by means of the sealing elements 35, e.g. in the form of gaskets similar to piston rings of a combustion piston.
    The valve stem 30 is movably disposed in the axial direction in the valve recess 40 and the control recess 42. The axial, closed end of Steuerausnehmung42 forms a stop 43 for the valve stem 30. Optionally, in the Steueraus¬nehmung 42 and a stop ring 44 may be arranged in order to set the position of the stop 43 can. Between the stop 43 and the end face 55 of the second piston 32, a valve spring 45 is arranged around the stop pin 34, which presses the valve tappet 30 or the piston sealing face 36 of the first piston 31 against the valve sealing face 41 into a defined position.
    Into the control space 46 formed in the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 through the valve recess 40 and the control recess 42 between the first piston 31 and the second piston 32, opens the main combustion gas supply pipe 24. The diameter D1 of the first piston 31 is smaller than the diameter D2 of the second Kol¬bens 32, so that the first piston area A1 is smaller than the second piston area A2. After the main combustion gas flows around the first piston 31 and thus also abuts the accessible area (the region up to the piston sealing surface 36) of the end face of the first piston 31 facing the main combustion chamber 11, the first piston 31 is in dependence on the geometry and position of the first piston 31 Valve tappet 30 with respect to the pressure of the main combustion gas teilwei¬se or completely pressure balanced. If main combustion gas is now supplied under pressure into the control chamber 46 via the main combustion gas valve 21 and the main combustion gas supply line 24, a valve force is produced by the larger piston surface A2 on the second piston 32, acting against the valve stem in the valve recess 42 or in the spring chamber 38 ¬ The pressure, and optionally against the biasing force of the spring 35 when this is vorgese¬hen, presses against the stop 43. Thus, of course, the piston sealing surface 36 of the first piston 31 is lifted from the valve sealing surface 41 (Figure 6 below), whereby the
    Injection channels 37 are released and the pressurized main fuel gas can flow into the main combustion chamber 11.
    If the Hauptbrenngasventil 21 closed again, whereby the pressure in the control chamber 46 falls abruptly, the pressure in the spring chamber 38 and / or the spring 35 pushes the valve stem wie¬der against the valve sealing surface 41, whereby the injection of main combustion gas is suppressed in the Haupt¬brennkammer 11 , The electrically actuated, electronically controlled Hauptbrenngasventil 21 can thus very easily both the beginning of the injection, and the amount of injected main combustion gas, for example, by the end of Ein¬spritzung in dependence on the current pressure of the main combustion gas, controlled.
    Due to the necessary high pressures of the main combustion gas and the high temperatures in the region of the main combustion chamber 11, as a rule no elastomer seals can be used as sealing elements 35 in the second piston 32. If sealing rings, similar to piston rings, used as sealing elements 35, there is a forced leakage of main combustion gas along the peripheral surface of the second piston 32. In the spring chamber 38, which is formed in the control recess 42 between the second piston 32 and the stopper 43, can therefore in an advantageous A leaking line 39 can be discharged via this leakage line 39. A possible leakage of main combustion gas between the piston 32 and the control recess 42 can be dissipated.
    When the same medium is used as the pilot fuel and the main fuel gas, e.g. Erdgas, a particularly advantageous embodiment can be realized. For this purpose, the leakage line 39 is connected to the supply line of ignition fuel to the pre-combustion chamber valve 18 of the pre-combustion chamber 15 (indicated in FIG. 10). At the moment of injection of main fuel gas, the leakage amount thereof is led to the pre-combustion chamber valve 18 via the leak line 39 and consumed there so that there is no loss of main combustion gas. When the main fuel gas valve 21 is closed again after the injection, the pressure in the control chamber 46 drops rapidly. However, after the leakage line 39 is connected to the pressurized supply line of pilot fuel, the pressure of the pilot fuel for the pilot combustion chamber 15 rests against the second piston 32 at the piston surface A3 facing the spring chamber 38, whereby a closing force is created which attempts to move the valve stem 30 to press against the valve sealing surface 41. This closing force counteracts a counterforce, which results on the one hand from the acting differential pressure between the spring chamber 38 and the control chamber 46 and on the other hand is caused by the pressure in the main combustion chamber 11 which also acts on the part of the free end face of the first piston 31 via the injection channels 37 , Once the generated closing force is greater than the counterforce, the mechanical valve 25 is closed. If present, the valve spring 45 supports the closing force. However, the valve spring 45 can also be so weakly dimensioned that virtually only a defined position of the valve tappet 30 is ensured. However, in this embodiment, the valve spring 45 could also be dispensed with altogether, since the mechanical valve 25 is closed by the pressure of the pilot fuel for the pre-combustion chamber 15 and is opened by the pressure of the main combustion gas.
    The geometry of the valve stem 30 and the valve spring 35 can of course be adapted to the pressures of pilot fuel and main fuel gas in order to ensure the proper function of the mechanical, differential-pressure actuated valve 25.
    The embodiments described above allow a very compact design of the mechanical valve 25 and in particular a spatial separation from the Hauptbrenn¬gasventil 21. Thus, it is also possible, the Hauptbrenngasventil 21 spatially from denthermisch highly loaded parts of the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 in unmit¬ near the main combustion chamber 11 to separate. A further advantage of these embodiments is the fact that the dead volume in the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 is essentially limited to the injection channels 37 and thus can be minimized as far as possible, which is particularly advantageous in terms of avoidance or miniaturization the soot formation or unburned exhaust gas constituents is advantageous. Last but not least, this makes possible a very compact design of the entire fuel gas supply and ignition device 10, which enables it to be accommodated in a water-cooled block of the gas engine 1, whereby a long-lived and reliable design can be realized.
    In the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10, here at the front end of the central part 13 facing the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12, an annular pre-combustion chamber groove 50 is further provided, which is connected to the pre-combustion chamber 15 via a pre-combustion chamber line 51. However, the pre-combustion chamber groove 50 could equally be disposed in the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12. In the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12, a number of torch channels 52 are arranged distributed over the circumference of the combustion chamber injection nozzle 12, which are connected on the one hand to the outer peripheral surface 47 of the combustion chamber Einspritzdüse12, and thus in the installation with the main combustion chamber 11, andandererseits lead into the annular Vorbrennkammernut 50, as shown in section in Fig.7. The flare channels 52 connect the pre-combustion chamber 15 to the main combustion chamber 11 via the pre-combustion chamber groove 50 and the pre-combustion chamber conduit 51. The mouth regions of the flare channels 52 into the main combustion chamber 11 are preferably designed such that a substantially radial inflow flows out of the combustion chambers Torch channels 52 results in the main combustion chamber 11, wherein again a tangential inflow component can be provided.
    The torch channels 52 are preferably located at the same axial position between each two circumferentially adjacent injection channels 37, but could be e.g. Also be arranged axially above or below the injection channels 37, even without offset in the circumferential direction. Any combination of these arrangements is also conceivable. Advantageous here is only the best possible spatial distribution of the injection channels 37 and the flare channels 52 in order to be able to form a large number of well-distributed diffusion flames in the main combustion chamber 11. Particularly advantageous, the injection channels 37 and the flare channels 52 are preferably arranged approximately in the same axial position and in the circumferential direction, in each case alternately next to one another, as indicated in particular in FIG.
    9 shows an alternative embodiment of the mechanical valve 25 is described. The essential difference here is that the mechanical, differential pressure actuated Ven¬til 25 has a valve housing 53, in which the valve spring 45 and the second piston 32 are arranged an¬. In this embodiment, also missing the stop pin 34. At a first, the valve stem 30 facing away from the axial end of the valve housing 53 is a spring stop 54, here in the form of a radial step, provided on which the valve spring 45 abuts with one end axially. The valve spring 45 abuts with the other end on the free Stirn¬fläche 55 of the second piston 32. For this purpose, a depression can also be provided in the end face 55 for centering the valve spring 45, as indicated in FIG. The Ventilfe¬der 45 thus exerts a spring force in the closing direction of the mechanical valve 25, which presses the valve stem 30 against the valve sealing surface 41 and thus ensures a defined position of the valve stem 30. The valve spring 45 could be dispensed with as described above. In the valve housing 53, a valve stop 56, here in the form of a radial step, is provided, which embeds the stop 43 of the mechanical valve 25. Also in this embodiment, a stop ring 44 can be arranged axially adjacent to the valve stop 56 in order to be able to adjust the position of the stop 43. In this case, the stop ring 44 would form the valve stop 56. The decisive advantage of this embodiment can be seen in the fact that the valve stop 56, against which the second piston 32 rests with its end face 55 in the open position of the mechanical valve 25 (shown in FIG. 9), provides a secure seal against the high pressure standing main combustion gas is achieved in the control chamber 46. When main fuel gas is supplied via the main fuel gas supply line 24 under high pressure in the control space 46, this pressure acts on the valve surface A2 of the second piston 32 and raises the valve stem 30 against the spring force and against the pressure acting in the spring space 38 from the valve sealing surface 41a to the end face 55 of the second piston 32 abuts axially on the valve stop 56. Thus, no main fuel gas can escape into the spring chamber 38, whereby the leakage of
    Main fuel gas can be reduced. Otherwise, again the sealing elements 35 assume the sealing function as described above.
    The valve housing 53 also makes it possible to adapt the material (dynamic load from the valve stop during impact, thermal expansion, etc.) and machining (surfaces, layers, running properties, etc.) to the requirements of the mechanical valve 25, regardless of the specific embodiment of the Fuel gas supply and ignition device 10.
    Thus, the mechanical valve 25 can also be manufactured as a replaceable insert, which can easily be exchanged in the event of wear, since the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 in this embodiment is not subject to wear caused by the mechanical valve 25. For this purpose, the valve housing 53 is arranged, for example, in the control recess 42, preferably via a press fit, in order to ensure a sufficient hold and to ensure a sufficient sealing function between the valve housing 53 and the control recess 42.
    The second axial end 57 of the valve housing 53 may also be deformed to form a shoulder that holds the valve stem 30 without a locking element in the valve housing 53. The shoulder can be e.g. simply by flanging produce.
    In an embodiment of the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 with the same medium for pilot fuel for the pre-combustion chamber 15 and for main combustion gas and with a Lecka¬ lead 39, which is connected to the supply line for the pilot fuel can be waived in a further embodiment, the sealing elements 35. During the closing of the mechanical valve 25, a pressure that depends on the combustion pressure in the main combustion chamber 11 is trapped in the control chamber 46. Due to the necessary diameter tolerances, a small gap necessarily results between the second piston 32 and the control recess 42. Therefore, in the closed state of the mechanical valve 25, a pressure equalization between the leakage line 39 and the main combustion gas supply line 24 can take place. Thus, a defined, repeatable state in the mechanical valve 25 can be produced at the beginning of the injection. This pressure compensation thus ensures a higher cyclic stability, regardless of the combustion pressure in the main combustion chamber 11 at the end of Hauptbrenngas¬einblasung when the mechanical valve 25 is closed and independent of the akt¬ tual load of the gas engine. 1
    The preferred function of the fuel gas supply and ignition device 10 according to the invention will now be described below. During the suction stroke, air or, equivalently, an air / exhaust gas mixture in the case of exhaust gas recirculation flows into the cylinder 5. In the subsequent compression stroke, the air is compressed and the compressed air from the cylinder 5 via the torch channels 52, the Vor¬brennkammernut 50 and the Vorbrennkammerleitung 51 in the Pre-combustion chamber 15 is pressed. A desired amount of pilot fuel is injected into the pre-combustion chamber 15 via the pre-combustion chamber valve 18. The injected pilot fuel mixes in the pre-combustion chamber 15 with the compressed air therein. As ignition fuel for the pre-combustion chamber 15, a gaseous fuel is used, preferably the same medium used as main fuel gas. Of course, the pressure of the pilot fuel must be greater than the effective pressure in the pre-combustion chamber 15. The ignition fuel is injected in such a metered manner by means of the pre-combustion chamber valve 18 that the lean ignition fuel / air mixture produced in the pre-combustion chamber 15 will not cause premature, undesired ignition can take place. The metering can take place as a function of the current load condition and of the ignition fuel properties, for example by the engine control. At the correct ignition timing (usually before the top dead center of the piston 6), the ignition fuel / air mixture is ignited in the Vorbrenn¬ chamber 15 with the external ignition device 16. The gas engine 1 according to the invention is thus a spark-ignited gas engine. In a time interval which is advantageous for optimum combustion, main combustion gas, as described above, is blown into the main combustion chamber 11 via the injection channels 37 via the main combustion gas valve 21. Due to the distributed over the circumference arranged injection channels 37, the Hauptbrenngasstern is blown in the radial direction in the main combustion chamber 11, as indicated in Fig.8 by the main combustion gas jet 60. By igniting the ignition fuel / air mixture in the pre-combustion chamber 15, hot combustion gas exits the flare channels 52. As a result of the torch channels 52 distributed over the circumference, the hot combustion gas enters the main combustion chamber 11 in a star shape in the radial direction, as indicated by the combustion gas jet 61 in FIG. In the main combustion chamber 11, the clean, injected main combustion gas jet 60 comes into contact with the hot combustion gas jet 61, whereby the main combustion gas is ignited in the main combustion chamber 11 and a multiplicity of spatially distributed diffusion flames form in the main combustion chamber 11. The diffusion flames suck the available oxygen rapidly, whereby a stable, good and fast combustion in the main combustion chamber 11 is achieved. The beginning of the injection of main combustion gas can be controlled via the Haupt¬brenngasventil 21, for example, depending on the current load of the gas engine 1. The injection, whose duration is be¬stimmt primarily by the current load, extends it usually The ignition in the pre-combustion chamber 15 and the start and the duration of the main injection by blowing fuel gas into the Hauptbrennkam¬ mer 11 can be controlled independently of each other, for example, by the engine control ,
    The controlled Hauptbrenngasventil 21 and the amount of supplied Haupt¬brenngases can be adapted to the current load condition and the combustion gas properties and accurately metered, for example, again by the engine control unit ECU. This can also be reacted quickly to rapid load changes.
    As described above, the main combustion gas injection is preferably carried out by means of a pilot-operated mechanical, differential-pressure actuated valve 25, which is designed as a differential piston. In a preferred embodiment, the rear side of the second piston 32 (surface A3) communicates via the leakage line 39 and the spring chamber 38 with the supply pressure of the pilot fuel of the electronic pre-combustion chamber valve 18. The piston surfaces A1, A2 of the differential piston become during the short time interval of opening the main combustion gas valve 21 beauf¬ strikes the gas pressure of the main combustion gas, wherein the gas pressure of the main combustion gas is selected to be greater than the pressure of Zündbrenn¬stoffes for the pre-combustion chamber 15 that under all circumstances in Zusam¬menwirken acting on the pressure application surface of the first piston 31 Compres¬ sion pressure in the main combustion chamber 11 (which acts on the piston 31 via the injection channels 37) ensures a safe opening of the mechanical valve 25. Thus, the function of the mechanical valve 25 can be ensured only by adjusting the pressures of Haupt¬ combustion gas and the pilot fuel for the pre-combustion chamber 15.
    The pressure of the main combustion gas must of course be greater than the expected Kompressi¬onsdruck at the time of blowing the main combustion gas. During combustion, main fuel gas is blown into the main combustion chamber 11, whereby the pressure of the main combustion gas must of course also be greater than the expected combustion pressure. Of course, the injection of main fuel gas into the main combustion chamber 11 should only last as long as oxygen is available for the combustion.
    Due to the lean mixture and the high pressure acting in the pre-combustion chamber 15, high-power spark ignition may be required to deliver the necessary ignition and ignition voltages, e.g. in the form of a modulated capacitive ignition as described in DE 10 2008 006304 A1, or as corona, plasma or laser ignition, or the like. Likewise it can be provided to monitor the ignition in the pre-combustion chamber 15 by monitoring the ion current, such as e.g. in WO2013 / 045288 A1.
    A further particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention results with a multiple injection of pilot fuel into the pre-combustion chamber 15. In this case, an amount of ignition fuel is first injected into the pre-combustion chamber 15, with which such a lean ignition fuel / air mixture is set, which certainly does not prematurely ignite can. Shortly before the ignition is then carried out a further injection of pilot fuel, which sprats the Ge¬ mix in the immediate vicinity of the external ignition device 16 in the Vorbrennkammer15 so far that with the external ignition device 16 a reliable ignition, and possibly also with less ignition energy is achieved. Due to the additional supply of ignition fuel before ignition, which has a significantly lower temperature than the compressed mixture in the pre-combustion chamber 15, the ignition fuel / air mixture is cooled in principle, thus reducing the risk of unwanted auto-ignition by the additional injection of ignition fuel can be. If as ignition fuel e.g. liquified gas (e.g., natural gas) used in the cryogenic liquid phase, e.g. At about -160 ° C, is brought to pressure and vaporized prior to injection, whereby the emerging gas is also cryogenic, in this approach, a significant Temperaturabsenεkung of the mixture in the pre-combustion chamber 15 can be brought about.
    Preferably, but not necessarily, the same medium is used as the main fuel gas and as the pilot fuel, e.g. Natural gas, in particular liquefied natural gas, wherein only different pressures for the pilot fuel for the pre-combustion chamber 15 and the Haupt¬brenngas for the main combustion chamber 11 may be necessary.
    With Fig.10 is still a possible overall configuration shown. The gas engine 1 is controlled by an engine control unit ECU (indicated by the arrows). The engine control unit ECU controls, in particular, the pre-combustion chamber valve 18 and the main fuel gas valve 21, in particular the respective start of injection of the respective injection end depending on the pressures p1, p2 of the main combustion gas and the ignition fuel and a current load state of the gas engine (eg a torque and / or a Dreh¬zahl on the output shaft of the gas engine 1). The pre-combustion chamber valve 18 is connected to a pilot ignition fuel storage 70 via a suitable gas line. The main combustion gas valve 21 is connected via a suitable gas line to a main fuel gas storage 71 for main fuel gas. In the case of the same media for the main fuel gas and the pilot fuel, only one memory may be provided for both. The engine control unit ECU also controls the external ignition device 16, in particular the ignition point and / or the ignition energy, possibly also via its own ignition control device 72.Under circumstances, via the engine control unit ECU and a pressure p1, p2 of Haupt¬brenngases and / or Zündbrennstoffes are set, for example, via concealed well-known pressure control device.
