Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a mixer-emulsifier for intermixing two dissimilar fluids and more particularly to a mixer-emulsifier for providing a diesel-alcohol fuel mixture to a diesel engine.
  • Petroleum based fuels such as diesel fuel are being rapidly depleted. This makes it desirable to burn fuels obtained from other sources.
  • Useful fuels include alcohols, made from coal, natural gas or renewable plant matter, synthetic fuels made from coal or oil shale, and perhaps liquified petroleum gas. These fuels, particularly synthetic fuels made with minimal processing and alcohol, tend to have very low cetane numbers and are thus difficult to burn in a diesel engine cycle. They can be burned, however, if mixed with a diesel fuel in percentages up to, for example, about 50%. It is also, at times, desirable to add a nonfuel fluid, such as water, along with diesel fuel. This can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by as much as 50%.
  • OMPI diesel fuel and to mix these liquids within the injection system. Since alcohol and diesel fuels are not miscible when even small amounts of water are present, and since water is not miscible with diesel fuels, it would be desirable if the alcohol or water could be emulsified with the diesel fuel in, or as they enter into, the injection system, prior to injection into the combustion chamber. It should also be recognized that such fuels as alcohol cannot be readily moved through a conventional diesel fuel pump system, since alcohol has relatively low lubricity and would tend to cause close fitting parts within the fuel pump to wear very fast or possibly even to sieze.
  • the prior art has primarily used carburetion or dual injectors to blend or mix dissimilar fuels within the combustion system. Cost is considerably increased when a second injection system is added to an engine. Further, it may be difficult to add the second set of injectors because of space limitations. Hence, retrofitting of existing engines is, at best, difficult, and at worst, impossible.
  • a further problem which exists when utilizing a mixture of diesel fuel and alcohol is that it is very undesirable to use a low cetane fuel such as alcohol at start-up or at idle conditions of the engine.
  • the amount of alcohol that can be tolerated by a diesel engine varies from a very small amount during starting and idle conditions to a much larger amount at the higher loads on the engine.
  • control of the amount of alcohol, as a function of engine speed and/or load is desirable.
  • the present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems as set forth above.
  • an improvement in a fluid flow system which has first pressurizing means for periodically developing (a) a first pressure for pumping and (b) a transfer pressure for not pumping a first fluid to flow out of an outlet and towards a fluid injector.
  • the improvement comprises a mixer having a chamber communicating with the fluid injector, an extending flow path having first and second end portions and being separated from the chamber and a plurality of restricted orifices connecting the flow path with the chamber at a plurality of positions along the length of the flow path.
  • the pump outlet is communicated with the first end portion of the flow path.
  • Second pressurizing means serves for periodically motivating a second fluid to flow at a second pressure into the second end portion of the flow path in response to the first pressurizing means being at the transfer pressure.
  • OMPI Utilizing a mixer as described above, very thorough mixing of two dissimilar and substantially immiscible fuels, such as alcohol and diesel fuel, can be accomplished. Further, this mixing can be accomplished with little or no modification to the fuel pump system of a conventional diesel engine.
  • the alcohol does not come in contact with the moving parts of the fuel pump. As a result, the low lubricity of the alcohol does not create a problem. Controlled portions of the diesel fuel and alcohol (or other second fluid) are introduced into the flow path, assuring a uniform fuel mixture during each stroke of the fuel pump.
  • the amount of alcohol used can be made a function, of engine speed, intake manifold pressure, or exhaust manifold temperature.
  • Substantially no alcohol is used during start-up or idle operations, and increased amounts of alcohol can be used as the engine is run at higher loads and/or speeds.
  • the timing and relative volumes of the diesel fuel and alcohol pumped can also be controlled as a function of intake manifold pressure or exhaust manifold temperature to provide automatic diesel-to-alcohol ratio adjustment for the different volumetric energy contents of diesel fuel and alcohol.

  • a fluid flow system 10 is seen generally in Figure 1.
  • the system 10 includes a first fuel pressurizing means 12 such as the conventional fuel pump 14 seen in Figures 1 and 3.
  • the fuel pump 14 receives a first fluid from a pump 15 and periodically develops a first pressure for pumping the first fluid from a chamber 16 and via a conduit 18, and allows pressure to fall to a transfer pressure, slightly above the pressure of a fuel • tank 20. At the transfer pressure fluid is not pumped from the chamber 16.
  • the first fluid motivated by the fuel pump 14 is eventually delivered to a conventional nozzle or fuel injector 22.
  • a mixer 24 serves to mix the first fluid with a second fluid and to emulsify the mixture.
  • the mixer 24 is positioned to receive the flow from the conduit 18 and to deliver that flow, along with the second fluid, to a conduit 26 which leads to the fuel injector 22.
  • the mixer 24 includes an inlet passage 27 and a chamber 28 which communicates fluid with the conduit 26 and to the fuel injector 22.
  • the mixer 24 further includes an elongated flow path 30 having a first end portion 32 and a second end portion 34 and being separated from the chamber 28.

  • the mixer 24 includes a body 42 (usually cylindrical) which fits tightly within a bore 44 in a housing 45.
  • the body 42 has an external surface 46, and the flow path 30 is a generally spiral or helical undercut 48 in the external surface 46.

  • the restricted orifices 36 are in the form of radial passages in the body 42 leading from the undercut 48 to the chamber 28.
  • Second pressurizing means 50 serves for periodically motivating a second fluid, generally alcohol, to flow at a second pressure into the mixer 24 via the second end portion 34 of the flow
  • the second pressurizing means 50 may include, for example, a tank 52 connected by a conduit 54 to a pump 56 which motivates the fluid to flow through a conduit 58.
  • the pump 56 will generally not be of the jerk type variety, but will instead provide a relatively constant second pressure in the conduit 58.
  • the second pressure can be adjusted in a manner which is explained below.
  • valve means 60 connects to valve means 60, in the embodiment illustrated a conventional spring loaded check valve 61, which allows flow of the second fluid towards the second end portion 34 of the flow path 30 in response to the second pressure exceeding the transient pressure by at least a selected amount ' .
  • the valve means 60 also prevents such flow in response to the second pressure not exceeding the transfer pressure by at least the selected amount and serves for preventing reverse flow.
  • the strength of a spring 62 of the check valve 61 determines the selected amount by which the second pressure must exceed the transient pressure for flow to take place towards the flow path 30.
  • the fuel injector 22 -injects a fluid, either the first fluid or an emulsified mixture of the first and second fluids, into a cylinder 63 of an engine 64, which has an inlet manifold 65 and an exhaust manifold 66.
  • WW ⁇ y OMPI Pressure control means 68 are provided for controlling the second pressure and flow of the second fluid to the mixer 24 in response to operating conditions of the engine 64.
  • a relief valve 70 is provided in the conduit 58 which receives pressurized fluid from the fluid pump 56. The relief valve 70 is connected to reduce excess pressure, over that desired in the conduit 58, by returning fluid to the tank 52.
  • pressure control relief valve 72 is provided in series with the relief valve 70. Pressure from the inlet manifold 65 is applied through a conduit 74 to one side of a bellows 76 and serves as a biasing force to hold the pressure control relief valve 72 in its closed position. When sufficient pressure is built up downstream of the relief valve 70 (which is set at a relatively low value, generally just enough to overcome the fuel transfer pressure) , the bellows 76 is flexed leftwardly allowing fluid flow past the relief valve 70 and the pressure control relief valve 72 to the tank 52.
  • the pressure in the conduit 74 can be supplied by the expansion of a suitable fluid such as mercury which is in thermal contact with the exhaust manifold 66, as via a conduit 77, shown in phantom.
  • a suitable fluid such as mercury which is in thermal contact with the exhaust manifold 66, as via a conduit 77, shown in phantom.
  • the expanding liquid forces the bellows 76 rightwardly, thus increasing the effective pressure acting through pressure control relief valve 72.
  • a larger volume of alcohol flows through conduit 58 and enters the mixer 24.
  • the bellows 76 is less strongly biased rightwardly in Figure 1, and a greater quantity of the alcohol is recycled past the relief valve 70 to the tank 52.

  • the pressure control means 68 can be made to increase the second pressure in response to increased exhaust manifold temperature and to decrease the second pressure in response to decreased exhaust manifold temperature.
  • flow control means 78 are preferably included for controlling the amount of the second fluid which enters the second end portion 34 of the flow path 30, in response to the amount by which the second pressure exceeds the transfer pressure.
  • the flow control means 78 is in the form of a restricted passage 80 which receives the flow from the check valve means 61 and delivers it to the second end portion 34 of the flow path 30.
  • the restricted passage 80 will be selected whereby the amount of second fluid flowing therethrough will be a function of the square root of the pressure of the second fluid passing through the check valve means 60.

  • This control can be made responsive to, for example, inlet manifold pressure or exhaust manifold temperature. This provides compensation for a lower heating value per unit volume of alcohol compared with diesel fuel.
  • a rack 90 which adjusts the timing of the fuel pump 14 and the volume of fuel pumped by the fuel pump 14, can be moved in response to engine operating conditions.

  • the restricted orifices 36' of the Figure 4 embodiment are of a structure sufficient to impinge the first and second fluids with one another within the chamber 28' as these fluids exit the orifices 36'.
  • the point or points of impingement of the first and second fluids within the chamber 28' may be selected to be on a center axis 96 of the chamber 28', or may be elsewhere within the chamber 28'.
  • the embodiment of Figure 5 shows an alternate valve means 60' which can serve to replace the valve means 60 shown in Figure 2.
  • the advantage of the embodiment of Figure 5 is that it does not require a spring. This can be important in operations wherein each of a number of cylinders are independently supplied with fuel by an apparatus generally as shown in Figure 2. In such a situation, it is important that each of the cylinders receive an equal amount of fuel. If the spring constants of the various springs of the valve means 60 are not precisely equal, different

  • the improvement of the invention is particularly useful for emulsifying diesel fuel and a second fuel, such as alcohol, before the resulting mixture enters the diesel engine 64.
  • the fuel pump 14 operates in a conventional manner providing fluid periodically at a first (high) pressure and allowing the pressure to fall to a transient (low) pressure, corresponding, generally, to the pressure in the fuel return passage 82 and tank 20.
  • a transient (low) pressure corresponding, generally, to the pressure in the fuel return passage 82 and tank 20.
  • the diesel fuel also is forced to flow through the restricted orifices 36 and into the chamber 28. From the chamber 28 the fuel is forced to flow, due to the pressure developed by the fuel pump 14, through the conduit 26 and to the fuel injector 22.
  • pressure in the conduit 58 is sufficient to cause alcohol to flow through the valve means 60, through the restricted passage 80, and into the second end portion 34 of the flow path 30. This pressure is -generally not sufficient to cause any flow to proceed through the conduit 26 and to the fuel injector 22.
  • the restricted nature of the orifices 36 helps to assure the flow of the alcohol into the second end portion 34 of the flow path 30 causing a reverse flow of diesel fuel out of the first end portion 32 of the fuel path 30 and backwardly through the passage 40 and eventually into the return means 82 of the fuel pump 14.

  • the apparatus described above can be readily retrofitted to existing engines since the components are relatively small as well as being inexpensive.
  • Alcohol is not introduced into the fuel pump 14, whereby the low lubricity of alcohol does not prove to be a problem. A thorough and uniform mixture of alcohol and diesel fuel is assured, since this mixture is distributed into the elongated flow path 30 and then thoroughly mixed in the chamber 28.
  • the amount of alcohol can be metered depending upon engine conditions.
  • the total amount of fuel propelled by each stroke of the fuel pump 14 can be metered in accordance with engine operating conditions. The metering is generally adjusted so that alcohol is not present at start-up or during idle operations. On the other hand, when the engine is under a heavy load, a relatively large amount of alcohol can be supplied to the diesel engine.
