Description

ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCED IN MULTIFUNCTIONAL VEHICLE FILTER.

CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT FIELD

The present Utility Model refers to a new constructive disposition applied in a diesel field ionizing filter, of compact vehicle fuel, belonging to the gasoline industry, particularly, its main function eliminating water and automotive, alcohol present or destined to natural gas vehicles.

There is more disposition and constructive use of fuels, dirt, thus becoming a component of better efficiency, when compared to the others existing in the market, for contributing to the reduction of fuel consumption.

BASICS OF CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT

The treatment of the fuel before entering the internal combustion engine is a necessary practice for the preservation and increase of the durability and fuel performance clogging combustion and engine emergence. The presence of can contribute to the transport of water and subject to premature oxidation, fuel and scale inside the exhaust ducts.

For the chamber of different types and models, this important role, that is, the technical means of filters, having their useful life developed, are linked to the quality of the fuel inserted in the vehicle's reservoir. On the other hand, this reservoir can also

2/16 accumulate water and dirt, both from the fuel itself and from the environment.

However, there is another concern regarding fuel, which is its performance. In this sense, there are concepts related to combustion that deserve more attention, such as ionization.

an ion is an atom or molecule (electrically charged chemical species) that can be classified as anions, negatively charged, and cations, positively charged, with anions being attracted by anodes and cations by the cathodes.

In chemistry, an ion is an atom molecule that has gained or lost electrons in a process known as ionization. In physics, atomic nuclei from completely ionized atoms like those in alpha radiation are usually referred to as charged particles.

Ionization is generally achieved by applying high energies to atoms by applying a high electrical voltage, or via high energy radiation. An ionized gas is called plasma.

the first theorist was Michael Faraday in 1830. In 1884 the phenomenon was described by Srante August Arthenius in his doctoral thesis at Uppsala University. At first it was not accepted and his thesis was approved with the lowest grade, but he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903 for the same description, finally recognized. _; i

Ionization is not constant, it is affected in a very sensitive way by local chemistry, geometry, temperature, as well as movement.

Thus, bringing the concepts of ionization to the combustion process, we have that if all organic compounds undergo combustion resulting in carbon dioxide and water, depending on the quality of the fuel or its compound, it changes the result.

The process of ionization of fuels has been the subject of several theoretical studies and experiments aimed at optimizing the process of using liquid and gaseous fuels to generate motive power in internal combustion engines.

For example, the concept of fuel ionization was applied by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to ionize hydrogen used in rockets, in order to improve the power and use of fuel. It is also public knowledge that the American company General Motors (GM) has developed a vehicle fuel ionizer based on magnets and endowed with high complexity, and that there are other types of fuel ionizers using magnets, natural ceramics and other sources of magnetic force monopolar.

Fundamentally, fuel ionization has the principle that fuel atoms have positive electrical charges, due to the action of protons in

4/16

atomic nuclei, and negative due to the action of electrons that orbit around the nuclei themselves.

The frequency of. resonance of the ionizer, of any type, interferes with the electrons around the fuel atoms, forcing the clusters of molecules to expand and decompose into simple molecules, thus increasing the exposure of the fuel to oxygen around it , which provides a more efficient and complete combustion.

As already said, indirectly, the quality of our fuels is very precarious, due to the lack of adequate structure and processes of refineries, service stations, transporters, and distributors, despite efforts to meet the specifications in production, the government to inspect all the fuel distribution process is still a long way from ensuring the good quality of the commercialized fuels. Even in production in

refineries, at the case of diesel not manage to remove the sulfur that at the general is still in 800ppm levels at 10000pp. This form, we have on the market one fuel in quality variable and in low quality,

impacting the functioning of the engines.

Thus, fuel ionization is a very efficient process to provide quality in the combustion process of these fuels, while contributing significantly to the economy and

5/16 environmental protection by reducing emissions of harmful gases emitted by vehicle engines.

Biodiesel, for example, if analyzed in depth, is more harmful than it contributes to the environment 5 as widely publicized, unless we see:

In Brazil, biodiesel (a mixture of 3% organic oil) can help to reduce the C0 ₂ emission in the production of this 3% diesel, however, this mixture ends up putting elements in the diesel that harm its more perfect combustion. , according to composition analysis, there are more contaminants in biodiesel than in pure diesel. There is also the presence of sulfur still around 10000ppm which should already be around 50ppm, and other compounds in addition to the presence of water, dust and other 15 contaminants that result in greater pollution through combustion. There are reports that even lye was found.

Vegetable oils mixed with diesel are of dubious quality, with no control over their compound 20, making all refineries' efforts to produce diesel within specifications invalid. Even the oil from a large snack bar used in frying potatoes is collected and mixed with diesel.

It is also no different in gasoline, methanol has been reported, in addition to the ethanol already present in gasoline, adulterated or baptized gasoline can even contain water, which affects the

6/16 engine operation, not counting other damages such as serious damage to the injection nozzles, injectors and carburetors.

Regardless of. these problems, ionization can substantially help in the efficiency and quality of the combustion of fuels improving the combustion process, since the result of this improved combustion is the improvement of the result in the generation of energy, efficiently taking advantage of its potential in the operation of engines combustion and the reduction of emissions of gases harmful to man and the environment, being high in the case of less perfect fuel.

The benefits are evident, as the polarized fuel molecules help to dissolve the carbon and varnish in the carburetors, injectors and combustion chamber, resulting in the absence of carbonization of the entire system.

Elétrica positive electric charge of gasoline is

C8H18 and C ₇ H ₁₇ diesel. The complete burning of fuel emits: CO ₂ + H ₂ O + N ₂ . Thus, a rich mixture (more fuel and less air) emits CO + CO ₂ + HC + H ₂ O + N ₂ , while a poor mixture (less fuel and more air) emits CO ₂ + H ₂ O + NO + NO ₂ + NO3.

Thus, the ionization of the fuel makes it possible to better combine the fuel with the oxygen present in the air, to provide a better combustion regardless of the mixture.

7/16

Ionization does not reduce the CO2 emission resulting from combustion, but it does help to decrease the volume generated, by saving fuel and reducing the emission of harmful gases.

In the case of diesel engines, the level of emissions is measured by the opacity index and in the case of ethanol, gas), measured by the level of emission of CO, HC

AT THE. In both cases, the ionization of the fuel is capable of significantly reducing the values of harmful gas emissions after combustion.

unburned fuel generates CO, harmful to the environment, as this gas prevents the formation of ozone and other elements are deposited inside the engine resulting in carbonization of the engine, varnishes and sludge that obstruct the supply system.

The bad combination of carbon atoms with oxygen will result in the appearance of the mentioned waste deposit, causing premature engine wear, reduced efficiency and a higher frequency of corrective maintenance.

Thus, fuel ionization intensifies and improves the combustion result, extracting more energy with less emission of harmful gases.

In order to offer alternatives for fuel ionization, the technical environment developed PI 1100141-0 of 02/15/2011, consisting of an ionizer

8/16

of fuel, associated or not with a filter and differentiated for generating the ionization of the fuel without the consumption of electric energy or even of complex generators of resonance frequency or magnetic field, as in other traffic systems and models comprise polymer suitable for the medium one receptacle through which the vehicle's fuel, for injection, which provides the containing for being minimal impact on the environment before entering the use of rods of tourmaline additions finely shapes.

black tourmaline has been shown to be a natural, perennial product, and human health, of non-aggressive low cost and tourmaline has its manufacture and application. In addition to the emission property of this, the far infrared radiation and negative ions which makes it capable of altering the size of clusters of molecules.

Conceptually, the fuel receives ionization during its passage through the receptacle containing polymer + tourmaline, with negative charge, particles rearranged to oxygen particles before

In . me if they can combustion.

the rods being, the receiving in spite of the use of the device, the ionizer has been noticed allowing the replacement of fuels, once the filtering element and its more associated with a non-element filter, immediate of which is not what traditional compact filters demand due to the fact of the ionizing not be the same the production of ionizers with larger than the filters already existing in the

9/16 market.

As a result, the technical environment, interested in applying ionization to their vehicles, is forced to carry out adaptations and add one more component, in addition to the filter, which causes an increase in cost and the appearance of points of failure or leakage due to the existence of adaptations.

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT

Through these and other diverse aspects and needs of the technical environment, and seeking to apply the experience acquired in the manufacture of products for fuel filtration, the inventor developed the present invention, devising a multifunctional vehicle filter, capable of incorporating a single externally fined filter element. , porous and ionizer capable of exercising the function of fuel filtration and ionization in an optimized and compact way. Inside the filtering element, polymeric fragments containing tourmaline as a charge in the polymer composition are provided, in a proportion between 5 and 30%, in relation to the mass of the polymer.

2, 10 and 30 microns.

Such filtration systems can incorporate a water separating element, which promotes greater efficiency and protection to the vehicle engine, as it provides multi-stage protection from water separation and important fuel filtration, the engine transforms into a compact two-body. This application becomes time that the water destroys the components of the ways: by the rust and when it is in steam, by the fact that the water is continuously condensing inside the fuel tank.

Fuel flow is controlled so that water and contaminants are separated. This effect is achieved because smaller particles of water drip or coalesce, on the sides of the housing and on the water-repellent element, so that when they become larger and heavier and are eliminated from inside the filter by the condensate repellent purge outlet. In this way, the hydroseparts separate the emulsified water, as well as the minuscule rust, dirt and algae.
