Definitions

  • the invention relates to an anti-pollution economiser device for fluid fuels, whose longitudinal dimension is predetermined by the distance between its inlet and its outlet and of the type comprising a conduit, able to be coupled along a fuel supply pipe in correspondence with said inlet and outlet, and comprising a magnetic field generator, able to generate a magnetic field affecting the fuel that flows inside the conduit.
  • Document DE-A-4213583 discloses a device for conditioning fuel which comprises: a conduit for the fuel which is eventually shaped like a spiral pipe, a device for heating fuel (for example a tube, in which hot fluid is conveyed, in direct contact with the previous conduit), and a magnetic source for conditioning fuel.
  • Document US-A-5076246 discloses a device for simultaneously conditioning liquid fuel and liquid coolant in an engine or the like using a magnetic field.
  • the fuel conduit is a spiral pipe with odd number of coils or a concentrically located pipe filled with a bed of ferromagnetic filings on which the magnetic field acts. This conduit is placed near the coolant conditioning circuit in order to take advantage of additional heat exchanged between the liquids.
  • the effect of the magnetic field on the cooling system is the reduction of scales.
  • Document FR-71176 and DE-A-10106532 disclose a device for conditioning fuel. Fuel is conveyed in conduits which are shaped in order to present reiterated forwards-backwards path and along this path the fuel is interested by the action of an electromagnetic field imposed by an external magnetic source.
  • Document WO-9701702 discloses a device for increasing the combustion efficiency of fuel. Energy savings are obtained by subjecting the fuel to a magnetic field in order to achieve a substantial reduction of the potential energy of its molecules, and simultaneously reducing turbulence, driving the fuel along a labyrinth path and thin flow gaps.
  • the fuel introduced in a central passageway of the device, flows radially, then in a first annular gap in a direction opposite to the direction of the flow in the central passageway and thereafter in a second thin annular flow gap, coaxial with said first annular gap, but in the same direction of the current in the central passageway.
  • the aim of the present invention is considerably to increase the beneficial influence of the magnetic field on fuels in general, with substantial size parity with known devices or even with smaller size both in terms of length and cross section.
  • the subject device allows considerably to increase, in a particular fashion, the path of the fuel under any condition of use, so as to subject it to a constant increase of exposure to the magnetic field, for the same longitudinal size.
  • the subject device is normally usable along the pipe for supplying a fluid fuel or hydrocarbons, between the pump and the carburettor, for fixed or automotive internal combustion engines, but it can also be used for any other fluid fuel in general, for instance methane gas (in this case, for burners and boilers) or fuel oil (Diesel engines) etc.
  • the subject device allows considerable energy savings and pollution abatement, thanks to the improved combustion, which also allows an improved efficiency, in terms of increased power (for instance in engines) or heating efficiency (for instance in boilers).
  • the subject device 1 has standard longitudinal size, predetermined by the distance between its inlet 21 and its outlet 22.
  • conduit 2 interposed between the inlet 21 and the outlet 22, able to be coupled directly in sealed fashion along a pipe for supplying a fuel (for instance by simply tightening a common locking clamp) and comprises a magnetic field generator 3, able to generate a magnetic field affecting the fuel that flows inside the conduit 2.
  • One of the characteristics of the device 1 resides in the fact that the conduit 2 identifies, in its interior, a path of the fuel that is repeatedly deviated, relative to the longitudinal axis 33 of the supply pipe.
  • a first practical embodiment is shown in figures 1, 2 and 3 in continuous lines.
  • the conduit 2 whose inlet 21 and outlet 22 are preferably coaxial to the supply pipe, is mainly applied to fuel supply pipes for vehicles or engines, whose diameters are relatively small.
  • the conduit 2 is advantageously shaped according to a spiral conduit 27, preferably having very tight coils with reduced internal clearance, in order to minimise size and maximise exposure to the field.
  • the fuel supply pipe normally has considerably larger diameter.
  • the conduit 2 advantageously contains a second spiral conduit 27, with the same characteristics as the one illustrated above, having smaller cross section than the conduit 2 that contains it. It is also visible, drawn in part with dashed lines, in figures 1, 2 and 3, where this second embodiment is illustrated.
  • the extreme lateral walls 11, which in the first case may also not be necessary, are not present, or have appropriate and large openings, to allow the free flow of the fuel both inside of the conduit 2, with the conditioning of the conduit 27, and inside the conduit 27 itself.
  • the conduit 2 also preferably destined to supplying fuel for vehicles, is shaped according to a conduit 23 having a reiterated forward-backwards path, interposed between its inlet 21 and its outlet 22, mutually offset and able to be directly coupled in sealed fashion along the supply pipe, also in a very simple manner, as illustrated above.
  • the conduit 2 can have, in its interior, a labyrinth path. It can be undulatory, according to sinusoids, or be conditioned, as in the practical example of figure 6, by multiple concentric conduits.
  • the conduit 2 can also contain only a second inner conduit 24, provided with superficial openings 25 and with baffles 26 in such a way as to determine in any case a tortuous fuel flow.
  • the baffles 26 comprise first baffles 261 inside the innermost conduit 24 and second more exterior baffles 262, all longitudinally offset from each other, the first baffles 261 having shape corresponding to the cross section of the innermost conduit 24 (for instance, discoidal shape, if the conduit 2 has circular cross section) able to delimit separate inner compartments of the innermost conduit 24, whilst the second baffles 262 having centrally hollow shaped (for instance shaped according to annuli, if the conduit 2 has circular cross section), able to delimit gaps identified externally to the innermost conduit 24. This holds true for any number of concentric conduit present and in particular for three conduits, as shown in figure 6.
  • the subject device 1 can use conduits 2 whose cross section corresponds to that of the supply pipe, or is even smaller, as in the cases of employment for engine fuels, where the inlets 21 and 22, whose diameter is equal to that of the conduit 2 interposed between them would be coupled inside the fuel supply pipe.
  • the magnetic field whose direction is the same as the flow of the fuel, is produced by solenoids 4 powered with direct current, with substantially cylindrical development, electrically isolated from the conduit 2, by means of isolating sleeves 41, and enveloping the conduit 2, in its various forms illustrated above, coaxially to the axis 33 of the supply pipe.
  • a direct current power supply in the order of 12 or 24 is sufficient, with appropriate cross sections of the coils of the solenoids, normally connected in series and with a corresponding battery, which in the case of vehicle engines may coincide with the battery with which they are already equipped.
