  • Greensteam Design Report
    Greensteam Design Report Double-acting Compound - Phase I Tae Rugh Fall 2020 Initial design CAD, renders, and motivation This is a 2 stage double-acting inline compound engine. This engine replaces the traditional cross-slide by extending the piston rod through the back end of the cylinder, thereby supporting the piston on either end. This increases the amount of required seals by two, but reduces moving mass and engine complexity. Steam enters the high pressure cylinder on both ends through bash valves. After high pressure expansion, steam exits through uniflow ports into a manifold which goes to the low pressure cylinder. Here, the semi-expanded steam expands again before finally exiting through uniflow exhaust ports into the atmosphere. The timing between high and low pressure pistons is slightly offset such that for the first ~5-10% of low pressure power stroke, the low pressure piston acts as a pump to improve the exhaust performance of the high pressure cylinder. For this portion, the low pressure piston is actually doing negative work, but the hope is that this produces more efficiency gains in the exhaust process to offset these losses. This claim is not too far-fetched considering, for example, internal combustion engines also incorporate an exhaust stroke in which the piston acts as a pump to remove the exhaust gas. Of course, this mechanism will need to be validated with further calculations. Part Breakdown The crankshaft has overhung cranks on either end, much like bicycle pedals, in order to avoid the manufacturing complexities that accompany traditional (non-overhung) cranks. o The cranks are offset from each other (currently at 120 )​ such that the low pressure piston is ​ slightly ahead of the high pressure piston, which induces the vacuum pump function of the low pressure piston.

  • Greensteam Design Report: Double-Acting Uniflow Engine Part
    Greensteam Design Report: Double-acting Uniflow Engine Tae Rugh, Summer 2020 This is a single-cylinder double-acting uniflow engine with bash valve actuation. The cylinder has steam inlets on both sides, so that while one side is in power stroke, the other is in return stroke. The bash mechanism means that this engine does not need to draw from the shaft’s rotation for valve timing, which significantly reduces the complexity and number of moving parts. The drawback is that control of inlet cutoff is severely limited by geometry such that the inlet must be open before top dead center for the same amount of time as it remains open after top dead center. A single uniflow exhaust port is located in the center of the cylinder block and used for both sides. Part Breakdown The driveshaft consists of an overhung crank, flywheel, and shaft. The crank is overhung in order to reduce complexities in manufacturing. A bronze bushing is pressed into the crank and holds the crank pin, which is pressed into the piston’s connecting rod. The crank is secured to the shaft by a cotter pin. The flywheel is set to the shaft by two set screws, angled at 45°. The cylinder block includes the piston chamber, uniflow exhaust ports, and bash valves. An inner cylinder sleeve is used to maximize the area for exhaust to escape while maintaining guiding rails to keep the piston aligned. The groove on the inner cylinder allows exhaust exiting through any of the slots to continue to flow out through the exhaust port in the cylinder block.

  • Greensteam Report: Valve Actuation Systems & Further Research Tae Rugh, Summer 2020
    Greensteam Report: Valve Actuation Systems & Further Research Tae Rugh, Summer 2020 Valve Actuation Systems Greensteam aims to design a modern steam engine that maximizes simplicity and frugality while maintaining high energy efficiency. The valve actuation mechanism presents one of the most important design challenges in achieving this objective. A number of potential options have been designed, each with its advantages and drawbacks. Cam/Poppet The classic option--a staple for internal combustion engines--is the cam/poppet valve system. Unlike internal combustion engines which typically have a separate belt-driven camshaft, we can simply attach the cam to the crankshaft to reduce complexity. As the crankshaft rotates, the cam’s asymmetric shape pushes the cam follower rod up which opens a poppet valve to allow inlet steam to enter the cylinder. This system has superior sealing qualities and reliability. The drawbacks are that it can be complex to manufacture (high precision is required for the poppet head, poppet seat, and cam), it requires a heavy spring to maintain contact between the follower and cam (which reduces efficiency), and a separate poppet valve is necessary for each cylinder (meaning more moving parts). The cam shape determines the engine’s timing, but it is constrained by a number of variables. The first constraint is cutoff (cutoff is the percentage of the powerstroke duration in which steam is allowed to enter). For a 20% cutoff, the incline and decline must occur within 38° of the cam’s rotation. The second constraint is that the height offset must be sufficient for the desired inlet flow rate.

  • Roger L. Demler Foster-Miller Associates, Inc. Waltham, Massachusetts
    STEAM ENGINE RESEARCH FOR SOLAR PARABOLIC DISH Roger L. Demler Foster-Miller Associates, Inc. Waltham, Massachusetts ABSTRACT A steam engine design and experimental program is exploring the efficiency potential of a small 25 kW compound reheat cycle piston engine. An engine efficiency of 35 percent is estimated for a 700°C steam temperature from the solar receiver. BACKGROUND The parabolic dish solar concentrator provides an opportunity to generate high grade energy in a modular system. Most of the capital cost is projected to be in the 2ish and its installation. Assurance of a high production demand of a standard dish could lead to dramatic cost reductions. High ~roductionvolume in turn depends upon maximum application flexibility by providing energy output options, e.g. heat, electricity, chemicals and combinations thereof. Subsets of these options include energy storage and combustion assist. Individual dish mounted engine generator sets represent a major market opportunity . The Market Projecting new product market potential is a risky business. Presuming success in meeting system cost and performance goals, dish-engine production has been studied in the 10,000 to 100,000 range of annual unit volume. Selection of the best engine type from among the Brayton, Stirling and Rankine engines will have to wait for development results. The Steam Rankine Engine The positive displacement steam engine is an excellent fit in the component chain. High efficiency at moderate temperatures (55 to 59 percent of Carnot) yields high dish and receiver efficiencies as well. Engine efficiency is insensitive to load and ambient variations. A high efficiency 60 Hz alter- nator can be directly driven.

  • Mechatronic Steam Valve Samuel Hince Anthony Ochoa Spring 2020
    Mechatronic Steam Valve Samuel Hince Anthony Ochoa Spring 2020 1. Introduction/Overview of Initial Design Goals The overarching goal of the valve portion of GreenSteam has been to find a low power, fast actuating, highly reliable, mechatronic valve solution to best optimize the power output of the proposed GreenSteam engine. This report is a summary of the research conducted to this end. Time was initially invested into finding quick, cheap, off the shelf options. This was done to create figures for engine designers to pull from as well as create a solution that already had extensively tested specs and was easy to replace. Eventually this led to initial research into the best mechanism and materials suited for high heat/pressure actuation. Preliminary investigation was done into the feasibility of custom mechatronic, and mechanical, solutions. An additional reading list has been compiled for use in onboarding additional members to the GreenSteam Valve team. The research presented below has been conducted with an emphasis on small scale valves which might be appropriate for an engine of approximately 1 cubic inch per cylinder, operating at speeds at or below 500RPM. Additional assumptions include a supply pressure which can be varied to meet the valve’s capabilities and steam temperatures around 150-170 degrees celsius. 2. Valve Actuation Solutions explored 2.1 Piezoelectric Piezoelectric Valves have been tested extensively to be reliable in high heat, corrosive environments, as well as in vacuum(tech briefs cite). With extremely fast actuation times(numbers here), precise control, and low power draw, Piezo actuated valves are an incredibly enticing solution to the design goals of Green steam.

March 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The development of a prototype variable valve duration reciprocating steam expander was undertaken. A variable valve duration system was developed which could vary the cut-off ratio from 15 % to 90 %. An existing internal combustion engine was converted into the prototype reciprocating steam engine. Thermodynamic models were developed to determine the theoretical power output and working fluid consumption of the manufactured prototype engine. Proof of concept tests were performed on the engine. The engine was operated at 500 rpm where the output power and air consumption were measured. Tests were performed for various cut-off ratios to determine the influence on output power and air consumption. The experimental results showed a strong correlation to the theoretical effect of cut-off ratio on power output and air consumption.

    steamcar-template.qxp 15/11/2005 22:28 Page 35 (c) Respiratory problems in the blast pipe restricting the exhaust (contributory) Had this issue been resolved greater power, greater economy may well have resulted. "Review of Testing and Evaluation of an Improved Steam Engine" by Roy A Renner (Courtesy "The Steam Automobile VOL 25 No 2 1983") This forward thinking team took Steam Car engine efficiency to very creditable 24% and appear to have reached similar conclusions and I quote "Another design improvement has been proposed to reduce throttling losses at the first stage inlet (poppet valve). As steam chest can be installed upstream of the inlet (poppet) valve, storing enough steam to allow filling the cylinder with a minimum pressure drop in the steam line. Of course the steam chest would be heavily insulated." The Single Headed Poppet Valve Advantages * Capable of handling vast quantities of superheated Steam. * Comfortably able to handle steam temperatures in excess of 1,500oF * Little potential for leakage * No rubbing contact with sealing surfaces, minimum friction * Separate steam admission and steam exhaust valve * Very short cut-offs indeed can be achieved * Variable exhaust and inlet timing, able to be optimised for best performance * Minimum clearance volume can be achieved * Can be made self opening in the event of water compression * Does away with upper cylinder lubrication, as only the valve guide requires lubrication. Modern seals will prevent oil ingress into the cylinder head. * A self-opening admission valve could nullify the effect of clearance volume and increase steam temperature by compression and improve efficiency (doubtful).
