"HIGH FREQUENCY ENERGY NETWORK"
The present invention patent deals with a High Frequency Energy Network
generation system which fully satisfies the proposed objectives providing to its purported purposes a series of technical and functional advantages, destined to be used in special engines operating with high frequency energy power used for refrigeration, for household
appliances, for fluorescent illumination and other applications which currently employ engines with 60 or 50 Hz energy network, having innovative characteristics in the art.
Among the innumerous advantages that this system brings for users in relation to the energy distribution conventional form, the following can be mentioned:
• Decrease of losses in rectors and engines;
• Increase of fluorescent bulbs efficiency;
• Elimination of the stroboscopic effect in fluorescent bulbs, due to tension/power variation in the network;
• Obtainment of more compact and efficient network powering systems.
• Corrected power factor.
This system aims at creating or generating high frequency energy power networks to be used in commercial buildings, condominiums, industries, homes, or any other places, to power fluorescent bulbs, engines in general, and others, and/or other equipment where this energy can be used.
As widely known, the size of electromagnetic components decreases with the frequency increase, and the operation of fluorescent bulbs in high frequency implies higher luminosity and elimination of the stroboscopic effect caused by the powering with a
60Hz/50Hz electric network, as well as the high frequency use improves the performance of
reduced-size engines, achieving low losses.
Based on the above concepts, the present high frequency system will be
implemented as illustrated in figure 1, attached to the present descriptive report in order to
better elucidate it.
Below, we make the description of the figures attached to this descriptive
report in order to better illustrate and elucidate it, as seen:
Figure 1 shows, the high frequency energy network scheme.
As inferred from the illustration in figure 1, the system herein proposed is
divided into four essential parts, described as follows:
• - High Frequency Source.
The high frequency source is powered by the ordinary electric network (60Hz/50Hz) and/or by batteries, for a nonstop (or continuous) energy supply, or even powered by another form of electric energy; thus, it generates in its exit a high frequency sinoid tension. There is a great variety of forms and technologies available to build this high
frequency source, where we can point out the modular system, which allows a broad range of powers with the use of few equipment models, besides providing an easy application for
the system. The high frequency source is the soul of the proposed system, as the system reliability depends directly on it.
• (2) - AF (High Frequency) Distribution Network.
The network for high frequency energy distribution is equal or similar to the
low frequency energy distribution networks currently used. So much so that, occasionally, the networks already installed could be used with the high frequency system.
• (3) - Igniting Circuit.
The igniting circuit for the high frequency network will have quite reduced
dimensions in relation to the present ones, and it eliminates the use of the current reactor.
Its construction can be implemented in many ways, and electromagnetic and electronic
components can be used. The igniter also comprises a device to heat the filaments when
applied to bulbs, generating high tension.
Elements or charges to which the high frequency energy network system
applies:
• (4) - Bulbs.
The bulbs used in this system are usually of the ordinary or compact fluorescent type. This type of bulbs is already quite widespread, and can be found in the market with a great variety of powers and geometric forms. Each type of different bulb requires a specific igniter, and still eliminates the use of the known reactor.
• (5) - Engines.
The engines for the high frequency network have quite reduced dimensions in relation to those currently known. Being more compact, cheaper and more efficient than
the current ones.
• (6) - Household Appliances.
Several types of household appliances models can be implemented to operate in the high frequency energy network, such as: washing machines, television sets,
refrigerators, etc.
An important aspect to be pointed out is that, in the proposed system, it is possible to control the power factor through the control of the frequency power source entrance power factor. There is no need of using high power factor igniters, which make
them easier to be built, consequently with cheaper cost, the same happening with the
engines.
Because it provides a series of advantages, as mentioned above, and for having its own characteristics, innovative and endowed with fundamental requirements of novelty, the present 'ΗIGH FREQUENCY ENERGY NETWORK", applied to engines,
equipment, household appliances, bulbs, etc., gathers conditions to deserve the Invention privilege.
