Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for reducing fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions by treating fuel in a conduit, in particular for motor vehicles.
  • This device has been perfected, as indicated in the document US-6,019,092 by incorporating, into a turbulence generating device, a magnet held in a ferrous metal casing so that the fuel flows around it.
  • the document WO 02/16024 essentially describes a fuel treatment device which circulates in a duct, by means of induction windings arranged around the duct and receiving an alternating current of a power supply, at a frequency of between 1.5 and 60 kHz .
  • the induction members are in the form of windings, they can not be mounted on an existing conduit without disassembly.
  • the document WO 2004/008030 discloses a biasing apparatus which includes an inductor having two halves which can be arranged on a conduit without any disassembly. According to an essential characteristic of this document, the magnetic field created is radial with respect to the duct.
  • the invention relates to a fuel consumption reduction device which uses an alternating electromagnetic field for the treatment of the fuel which circulates in a conduit of the supply circuit of an internal combustion engine, so that it is better condition for combustion in an internal combustion engine.
  • the invention does not require any modification of the fuel circuit of the vehicle concerned and removably mounts around an existing conduit.
  • the invention relates to a fuel treatment device which circulates in a conduit, which comprises a power supply intended to create an alternating current at a frequency of between 2 and 500 kHz, and an induction member intended to be arranged. on the conduit and receiving the alternating current of the power supply to create an electromagnetic field in the conduit, the induction member comprising a ferrite ring cut in two halves by a diametral plane, and a holding member of the two halves in the form of the ring around the conduit, a half of the ferrite ring carrying a wire winding for receiving the secondary output signal of the transformer of the power supply.
  • the wire winding is wound around half of the ferrite ring.
  • the power supply comprises a DC electrical power input, for example from a battery of a vehicle.
  • the power supply further comprises a DC direct current converter, and a transformer transmitting an AC output signal.
  • the power supply comprises a selector member for the frequency of the output signal in the frequency range from 2 to 500 kHz, and preferably from 7 to 100 kHz.
  • the conduit is a conduit of the fuel system of a motor vehicle.
  • the conduit is preferably formed of a non-ferromagnetic material, for example selected from non-magnetic stainless steel and plastic.
  • the figure 1 schematically shows a fuel treatment device which circulates in a conduit 10 for supplying the engine of a motor vehicle.
  • the treatment device comprises an induction member 12 and a power supply 14.
  • the power supply 14 receives electrical power in direct current, coming for example from the vehicle storage batteries, as indicated by the wires 16. This direct current reaches a converter 18 of the AC direct current which supplies power to a vehicle. transformer 20.
  • a selector member 22 is placed between the converter 18 and the transformer 20 so that it allows the selection of the frequency of the signal which is transmitted by the output wires 24 of the secondary of the transformer 20. Similarly, this member 22 can adjust the amplitude of this signal.
  • each function of the power supply 14 that is to say the conversion, the transformation, and the selection of frequency and amplitude, have been indicated in the form of rectangles, since various circuits of very diverse arrangements are possible.
  • each function can be fulfilled by a device known for this purpose, or several functions can be fulfilled by the same component.
  • the essential characteristic of the power supply 14 is that it transmits an alternating current with a frequency of between 2 and 500 kHz, preferably between 7 and 100 kHz, and that the frequency and the amplitude of the signal may preferably be chosen.
  • the figure 2 indicates how the induction member 12 is mounted on a conduit 10.
  • the feed son 24 arrive in a housing 26 formed of two parts which can rotate about a hinge 28.
  • the two parts of the parallelepiped housing 26 are held in cooperation in the form of a housing by a fastener 30.
  • the figure 3 represents in more detail the construction of the induction member 12.
  • each half 26A, 26B of the housing which constitutes a holding member, contains a ferrite half-ring 34, 36.
  • the ring half 36 also carries a winding 38 connected to the supply wires 24.
  • the fixing member 30 cooperates with a complementary member 32 of the other housing half, so that, in the closed position as shown in FIG. figure 2 , the fasteners 30, 32 cooperate and hold the two ring halves 34, 36 in the form of a ring, the end diametrical flat faces of the two half-rings 34, 36 abutting and thus forming a complete ring.
  • the conduit 10 is for example formed of non-magnetic stainless steel or plastic, and is not made of a ferromagnetic material.
  • induction member in the form of a housing which can open to overlap the duct is extremely advantageous for its assembly convenience, since no modification of the fuel supply circuit of the motor vehicle is necessary. .
  • this feature is not essential, and a simple solenoid can be arranged on the conduit.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable when incorporating the device during the manufacture of the vehicle.
  • Fuel consumption reductions have the same ranking as CO 2 emission reductions with these particular types of vehicles.
