Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a new additive which can be added to all types of vehicle engines as well as equipment, hydraulic pumps and transmissions in addition to gasoline fuel and biodiesel (from wasted engine and food oil). It can only not be added to diesel fuel from Crude oil. So far there is no such one additive that was made for all these purposes together. Moreover, the viscosity enhancer of the invention has never been made before.
- Fuel efficiency of new engines is gaining importance from both an economic and an environmental prospective especially when fuel prices are on the rise. If an engine can run longer on a smaller amount of fuel, then this will save the consumer money. It also becomes important that the maximum amount of energy be utilized from every gallon of fuel. One way to achieve better efficiency and power is through the use of engine-cleaning fuel additives in a vehicle's fuel.
- Engine oil (also known as motor oil) has two primary purposes: To lubricate the moving parts of the vehicle engine which minimizes friction and to protect metallic surfaces from corrosion (also known as rust). Oil additives are added to engine oil to help achieve these purposes. The most important of these engine oil additives are viscosity index improvers (VIIs).
- The viscosity of oil is more or less equivalent to its thickness, its willingness to flow freely through the engine and coat all the parts that need coating. Oil with too high a viscosity will be reluctant to flow and will gum up the works; oil with too low a viscosity will flow through the engine like water, not sticking around long enough to do its job. Furthermore, the viscosity of oil changes with temperature, becoming more viscous when cold and less viscous when hot, so viscosity is affected by both the weather and how warm the engine is.
- The tendency of the viscosity of the oil to change with temperature is called its viscosity index and viscosity index improvers are used to adjust this index to make the change in viscosity small enough throughout the car's normal range of temperatures that the oil will be useful whether the car is just being started on a winter morning or driven at engine temperatures of over 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93.3 degrees Celsius).
- Oil additives are chemical compounds that improve the lubricant performance of base oil (or oil "base stock"). The manufacturer of many different oils can utilize the same base stock for each formulation and can choose different additives for each specific application. Additives comprise up to 5% by weight of some oils.
- Oil additives are vital for the proper lubrication and prolonged use of motor oil in modern internal combustion engines. Without many of these, the oil would become contaminated, break down, leak out, or not properly protect engine parts at all operating temperatures. Just as important are additives for oils used inside gearboxes, automatic transmissions, and bearings. Some of the most important additives include those used for viscosity and lubricity, contaminant control, for the control of chemical breakdown, and for seal conditioning. Some additives permit lubricants to perform better under severe conditions, such as extreme pressures and temperatures and high levels of contamination.
- Nearly all commercial motor oils contain additives, whether the oils are synthetic or petroleum based. The choice of additives is determined by the application, e.g. the oil for a diesel engine with direct injection in a pickup truck (API Service CJ-4) has different additives than the oil used in a small gasoline-powered outboard motor on a boat (2-cycle engine oil).
- A big disadvantage of the prior art and conventional engine oil additives is that different additives are needed for different kind of equipment and thus a multitude of differing additives with individual and specific uses have to be manufactured separately. Examples of such products include, gasoline fuel additive in separate can, independent engine oil additive, engine cleaner in specific can, etc among other additives. This creates confusion amongst the customerswho therefore sometimes use different engine oil additive for different application,thus affecting the functionality and efficiency of engine. This leads to severe economic loss and stress to the consumers. Also, the different required additives add to the cost of maintaining the engine. Therefore, there is a need to provide a multipurpose additive which be used for both kinds of vehicle engines,whether diesel or gasoline ones, via an engine oil supplemented with the engine oil additive.
- The present invention relates to a new additive which can be added to all types of vehicle engines as well as equipment, hydraulic pumps and transmissions in addition to gasoline fuel and biodiesel (from wasted engine and food oil). It can only not be added to diesel fuel from Crude oil. So far there is no such one additive that was made for all these purposes together. Moreover, the viscosity enhancer of the invention has never been made before.
- The following summary is provided to facilitate an understanding of some of the innovative features unique to the disclosed embodiment and is not intended to be a full description. A full appreciation of the various aspects of the embodiments disclosed herein can be gained by taking the entire specification, claims, drawings, and abstract as a whole.
- It is, therefore, one aspect of the disclosed embodiment to provide an additive which can be added to all types of vehicle engines as well as equipment, hydraulic pumps and transmissions in addition to gasoline fuel and biodiesel (from wasted engine and food oil). It can only not be added to diesel fuel from Crude oil.
- It is another aspect of the disclosed embodiment to provide a new viscosity enhancer.
- The present invention seeks to solve a long standing need for a single multipurpose additive which can be used for all types of vehicle engines and equipment.
- To manufacture an embodiment of the present disclosed invention, a method is provided for preparation of such an additive. In brief, one embodiment of the present disclosure involves mixing a solution of pure Potassium Hydroxide(KOH) of concentration 90% by volume with water as solvent, with a solution of either Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol of concentration 85% by volume with water as solvent, in a ratio of 4:1 by volume at a temperature not exceeding 25 ° C.Thus, for every 4 parts by volume of KOH (90% conc) solution there would be added 1 part by volume of Ethanol Or Ethyl Alcohol (85% conc). While keeping quick and ultra mixing, we have the additive after less than two minutes of mixing. Upon adding the additive in engines with oil, the additive immediately enhances the oil viscosity through the base reacting with the oil and neutralizes acids. The ethanol, in turn, comminutes and cleans inside the engine. Upon adding the additive in the gasoline fuel tank, the ethanol induced by the hydroxide cleans fuel ducts and makes combustion optimal in the engine thereby saving fuel.
