Description

The invention relates to systems for the preparation of fuel for internal combustion engines, in particular to devices for electromagnetic pretreatment of fuel and can be used to prepare fuel before combustion in internal combustion engines.

Devices for magnetic treatment of fluids using permanent magnets for structuring and / or polarizing a fuel or combustible mixture are widely known from the prior art. The principle of operation of such devices is based on the effect of a magnetic field on a liquid medium, including on hydrocarbon fuel before its combustion in the combustion chamber of an engine, which leads to a change in its structure and, as a consequence, to an improvement in the completeness and quality of combustion. The general disadvantages of such devices include a short fuel processing time and a low level of activation of fuel atoms due to its rapid passage in the active treatment zone.

Known device for processing fuel [1]. The device contains a chamber equipped with at least two oppositely polarized electrodes for exposure to an electric field on the fuel flow, connected to a power source. A layer of dielectric material of a certain thickness is placed in the chamber between the oppositely polarized electrodes. The surface of the electrodes in contact with the liquid is covered with a dielectric material. The disadvantage of this device is the high energy consumption for fuel processing.

Known magnetoelectric fuel activator [2], which contains a dielectric housing, hollow inlet and outlet fuel fittings, two metal electrodes, a magnetic field source in the form of a permanent magnet and an electric field source connected to these electrodes. The metal fittings themselves are used as electrodes, the magnetic field source is made in the form of two annular permanent magnets with axial magnetization, placed inside the activator body on the fittings. The distance between the ends of the fittings inside the body is selected from the condition of the maximum electric field strength in the absence of electrical breakdown between them. The fuel activator is also equipped with an additionally adjustable electromagnet, for which an inductive winding is located outside the housing, connected through a voltage regulator to the on-board battery. The disadvantage of this activator is the complexity of the design and the dependence of the distance between the ends of the fittings, which affects the maximum electric field strength in the absence of electrical breakdown between them.

Known magnetoelectric fuel activator [3] (Device for electromagnetic treatment of fuel of internal combustion engines), selected as a prototype. The device contains a dielectric housing with a tee branch, inlet and outlet metal fuel fittings (fittings), consisting of external and internal hollow cylinders inserted into the housing, an electrode and a high voltage unit, electrically connected at the output to this electrode, and the tee branch of the housing is mechanically plugged an electrode that is electrically connected to a hollow metal perforated cylinder placed concentrically inside the device body. The dielectric body is covered with a metallized coating that is electrically connected to the vehicle body. Outside the T-branch there is a high-voltage electronic unit, electrically connected at the input to the storage battery, and at the output to the hollow metal perforated cylinder through the electrode in this T-branch. The second electric potential of this high voltage unit is grounded to the car body and to the metallized coating, and the device is also equipped with two annular permanent magnets with axial magnetization, tightly placed on the outer hollow cylinders of the fuel fittings.

The disadvantages of the given device are the complexity of the design, insufficient efficiency of fuel processing due to the large distance between the electrodes and permanent magnets, which reduces the magnetic field strength.

The task of the proposed technical solution is to increase efficiency by intensifying the process of preliminary electromagnetic treatment of the fuel of internal combustion engines, improving its quality and reducing harmful emissions of combustion products into the atmosphere.

The proposed device for electromagnetic processing of fuel for internal combustion engines, which contains a dielectric cylindrical body with covers at its ends, installed on the housing covers dielectric inlet and outlet fittings. The source of the magnetic field is made in the form of a pair of magnets with the same poles facing each other, and in the center of one of the magnets there is a hole for fuel output. The magnets are placed in two cylindrical flanges, while on the side of the magnets the flanges are connected to each other through a dielectric profiled gasket with centripetal cutouts, and one of the flanges is connected to the inlet fitting. The fuel main cylindrical pipe is installed inside the housing along its axis and is connected on one side with the outlet fitting, and on the other side with a flange in which a magnet with a hole is placed, and the pipe contains a shell in the form of a winding of two tapes superimposed on each other, with the first tape is made of flexible insulating material and the second is made of metal. The source of the electric field is made in the form of an asymmetric capacitor, one of the electrodes of which is a cylindrical fuel main pipe and cylindrical flanges. A metal tape is used as another electrode, while the metal tape is connected through a generator of current pulses to an electrical sealed connector for connecting a power supply.

In addition, it is proposed that the cylindrical flanges and the cylindrical fuel main pipe be made of a material that is a catalyst for the processing process, such as, for example, an alloy of iron and nickel with the addition of metals from the rare earth group, which significantly improves the quality of the processed fuel.

It is also proposed to cover the inner cylindrical pipe with a layer of aluminum oxide.

The dielectric body, covers and fittings are preferably made of shock and vibration resistant materials such as polypropylene.

It is preferable to use rare earth materials as a material for a pair of magnets, and indicators can be installed on a special panel of the case to monitor the operation of the device.

Thus, in the proposed device, the fuel is processed not only by a magnetic, but also by an electric field in the presence of catalysts for these processes, which leads to an increase in the efficiency of the installation due to the intensification of the fuel pretreatment process, a significant increase in the quality of the processed fuel, which leads to a decrease in harmful emissions of products its combustion into the atmosphere.

The device for electromagnetic processing of fuel of internal combustion engines contains a dielectric housing 1, which is made of shock and vibration resistant materials, for example, polypropylene, with covers 2 at the ends of the housing made of the same material. The device is equipped with inlet 3 and outlet 4 fittings, made, for example, also of polypropylene. The inlet and outlet fittings 3 and 4, respectively, are mounted on the covers 2 coaxially with the body 1. The source of the magnetic field is made in the form of a pair of permanent magnets 5 of rare earth materials. The magnets 5 are placed inside the cylindrical flanges 6, between which there is a dielectric profiled gasket 7 with centripetal cutouts 8, which ensure the swirling of the fuel flow and its further centripetal flow along the fuel line. Moreover, the flanges 6 are interconnected, for example, with screws (not shown in the figure). The fuel main cylindrical pipe 9 is installed inside the housing 1 along its axis and is connected to the outlet 4 fitting, and on the other hand, to the flange in which the magnet with the hole is placed, and is made of a material that is a catalyst for the fuel processing process, such as , as an alloy of iron and nickel with the addition of metals from the rare earth group. Inside, the fuel main cylindrical pipe 9 is covered with a layer of aluminum oxide. Moreover, the fuel main cylindrical pipe 9 contains a shell 10 in the form of a winding of two superimposed tapes, with the first tape 11 made of flexible insulating material, and the second tape 12 of metal. The winding is made in such a way that the first tape 11 of insulating material is wound on the pipe 9 with the first layer, followed by alternating layers with the metal tape 12. The source of the electric field is an asymmetric capacitor, in which the main cylindrical pipe 9 and cylindrical flanges are used as one of the electrodes 6, which are also made of an alloy of iron and nickel with the addition of metals from the rare earth group. A metal strip 12 is used as another electrode. The metal strip 12 is connected via a current pulse generator 13 to an electrical sealed connector 14 for connecting a power supply. On the body 1 of the device for monitoring its operation, indicators 15 are located, located on a special panel 16.

The claimed device works as follows.

The device is built into the section of the fuel line of the internal combustion engine using inlet 3 and outlet 4 fittings. The power supply is connected to a sealed connector. At the time of starting the engine, simultaneously with the operation of the fuel pump (not shown in the drawing), voltage is applied to the generator 13 of current pulses. The generator 13 generates a pulsed electric current, thereby providing conditions for creating a pulsed electromagnetic field. When the engine is started, the fuel (the movement of fuel in the figures is shown by arrows), passing through the inlet 3 fitting under pressure created by the fuel pump, enters the cavity of the gasket 7. The fuel acquires a rotational motion due to the presence of centripetal notches 8 and the pressure created by the fuel pump, processed perpendicularly directed relative to the plane of motion

- 2 035654 magnetic field enters the main fuel cylindrical pipe 9 of the device. Further, the fuel, maintaining rotational motion, passes through the pipe 9 and is processed not only by a magnetic, but also by an electric field in the presence of catalysts for these processes, and the fully processed fuel through the outlet fitting 4 enters the fuel line of the engine and then into the internal combustion engine itself.

Due to the proposed design of an asymmetric capacitor using elements of the structure itself as electrodes, charging and discharging between the electrodes is initiated in order to create a resonance in the fuel molecules. This leads to the breaking of the bonds of the chains of fuel molecules. The fuel throughout its movement inside the claimed device is exposed to a pulsed electromagnetic field, which creates a necessary condition for a more complete preparation of fuel for its supply to the engine. The operation of the specified device can be monitored using indicators 15 located on a special panel 16.

This device has been implemented and introduced into production. The calculation of the economic effect when using it was made on the basis of data from the practical operation of more than 500 devices. The calculation showed that the payback period of the proposed device is on average 5-10 months, depending on the intensity of its operation and only by the characteristic of reducing fuel consumption without taking into account the effect of a general reduction in operating costs and an increase in the service life. The reliability and efficiency of the device are confirmed by technical reports. In practice, the economic feasibility of their use has been proven, a general decrease in operating costs and an increase in the overhaul life of internal combustion engines have been noted, which confirms the solution to the problem.
