Abstract
Discharge of harmful gases, eg. unburned hydrocarbons, CO, oxides of N and SO2 into the atmos., is prevented by treatment with steam in presence of a body contg. Ge or Ce. The harmful gases are esp. exhaust gases from an i.c. engine. The process can also be applied to turbine engines, turbo-reactors, domestic heating appliances and industrial flues. The engine power and fuel consumption are improved. The amts. of CO, unburned hydrocarbons, oxides of N and SO2 discharged are nil, compared with 4-5.5% CO and 1-3% of the other gases for an untreated engine. The engine operates easily on a lean combustion mixt., in contrast to an untreated engine. Treatment is esp. over an alloy or cpd. of Ge or Ge with a metal, e.g. Fe, contg. 0.5-100 (36-40)% Ce or 45-80% Ge.
Description
The present invention relates essentially to a method and apparatus for reducing the pollution of the atmosphere by noxious gases such as nitrogen oxides ana carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine.
This problem assumes particular importance nowadays and a great number of attempts have been made to reduce or eliminate such noxious gases which are present in the gases, smoke or fumes rejected to the atmosphere by the exhaust systems of internal combustion engines of automotive vehicles and so forth.
A great number of methods and devices are already known which are intended to purify or cleanse the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines. However, these means are not entirely satisfactory, for on the one hand they are often complex, expensive and insufficiently reliable and, on the other hand, they do not allow the nitrogen oxides and the carbon monoxide to be largely eliminated from the exhaust gases.
Moreover, most of these known means are intended to eliminate or decompose the noxious gases, but not to prevent their formation.
The purpose of the present invention is precisely
-24 3 14 7 to alleviate the drawbacks to the known means, by a method and apparatus which are relatively simple, inexpensive and reliable.
Accordingly, the invention provides a method for 5 reducing the pollution of the atmosphere by noxious gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, comprising introducing steam into an air intake manifold of the engine and feeding a combustion chamber of the engine with fuel admixed with the resulting mixture of air and steam, the steam being brought into contact with an element composed of cerium or comprising cerium just before or after the introduction of said steam into the air intake manifold.
It has been surprisingly found that the introduction of steam into the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine results in almost complete absence of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases rejected to the atmosphere.
Thus, the greatest risks of pollution of the atmosphere by noxious gases are substantially eliminated in an extremely simple manner and with inexpensive means.

A corollary advantage of the invention is that the combustion of a fuel-air mixture takes place more efficiently, that a small but real reduction in fuel consumption is observed and that simultaneously the formation of carbon deposits or soot is substantially reduced or eliminated.
The invention also relates to apparatus comprising part of an internal combustion engine, for carrying out the method according to the invention as hereinbefore defined, and comprising an air intake manifold of’the engine, a fuel source connected to supply fuel to the air intake manifold, a steam source, a steam introduction conduit from the steam source for introducing steam into the air intake manifold, and an element composed of cerium or comprising cerium positioned in the path which the steam must take through the passageway, leading from an air intake point, through the air intake manifold to the location where fuel combustion will
Occur.
The invention will be better understood and other purposes, details, features and advantages of the latter will appear more clearly as the following explanatory description proceeds with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawings given by
-4way of example illustrating an embodiment of the invention and wherein;Figure 1 is a diagrammatic sectional view of an i nternal-conibusti on-engi ne intake manifold provided with apparatus according to the invention; and
Figure 2 is a more detailed view of the means for introduction of steam shown in the apparatus of Figure 1.
In Figure 1 is therefore illustrated the application of the method and apparatus according to the invention to the intake system of an internal combustion engine, e.g. for an automotive vehicle.
The intake system comprises, in a manner known per se, a conduit 1, the internal wall of which is provided with a venturi 2 and which forms the inlet to the intake manifold 3 of an internal combustion engine. The inlet of the conduit 1 is provided at its top with an air filter 4, and the engine supply air therefore penetrates through this air filter into the conduit 1 and flows in the direction indicated by arrow 5.
-543447
Liquid fuel such as gasoline is supplied from a unit 6, arranged in immediate proximity to the conduit 1 and which sends into the venturi 2 thereof liquid fuel atomized into fine droplets by means of a jet (not shown). The arrow 7 indicates the intake of the atomized fuel into the venturi 2 of the conduit 1.
The intake system also comprises a throttle valve 8 arranged downstream of the venturi 2 and allowing the flow of the mixture of air and atomized fuel towards the cylinder to be adjusted.
The intake system also comprises means 9 for the introduction of steam into the venturi 2, as indicated by arrow 10. A screen 11 of cerium or of a compound comprising cerium is arranged downstream of the venturi 2, close to the inlet of the intake manifold 3, so that the mixture of supply air, of atomized fuel and of steam sucked into the conduit 1 passes through the screen 11.
The rate of introduction of steam into the venturi 2 depends upon the running speed of the engine, for example in the same manner as the unit 6 allows the fuel intake into the venturi 2 to be adjusted.
-64 3 4 4 7
In Figure 2 is shown a forra of embodiment of the means of steam supply into the venturi 2.
These means comprise essentially a sealingly closed water-tank 13 connected through a diptube 14 provided with a cock 15 with the internal space of a heat exchanger 16 through which extends the exhaust pipe (or pipes) 17 of the engine. The heat exchanger 16 is provided with an air inlet 18 and a steam outlet pipe 19 which opens into the internal space of the air intake conduit through a nozzle 21 extending within the conduit lengthwise and in the air flow direction 5.
This means operates as follows:
The arrangement of the closed tank 13 above the heat exchanger 16 ensures a substantially constant level of the water in the exchanger 16 and an automatic replacement of the amount of water converted into steam through heat exchange with the exhaust gases passing in the pipe 17. The lengthwise arrangement of the nozzle 21 in the air intake conduit 1 ensures that the rate of flow of the steam admitted into the conduit as a result of suction by the flow of air shall depend upon the rate of flow of the air admitted into the cylinders, thus resulting in automatic control and regulation of the amount of steam admitted into the conduit according to the various running speeds of the engine
The steam flow can be originally adjusted by suitably selecting the dimensions of the pipe 19 and the nozzle 21, or by means of a valve 20 mounted on the pipe 19 upstream of the air intake conduit 1.
The supply air, the atomized fuel and the steam introduced into the venturi 2 are sucked into the intake manifold 3 of the engine and thus flow through the screen 11 of cerium or of a compound comprising cerium. This mixture is thereafter distributed into the various engine cylinders in order to be burned therein in the conventional manner, and the combustion gases are rejected to the atmosphere by the exhaust system of the internal combustion engine.
It is then surprisingly found that the exhaust gases contain virtually no traces of carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxides. Moreover, it is also found that the fuel consumption of an engine provided with the apparatus according to the invention is slightly less than that of an identical engine of a conventional type.
Also, it is observed that the combustion of the
-S43447 fuel, air and steam mixture in the engine cylinder does not produce carbon deposits or soot.
The causes of this surprising result are still not known. It may be assumed that the screen 11 arranged immediately upstream of the inlet of the engine intake manifold 3 produces a decomposition of the steam and that the hydrogen thus obtained comprises nascent or atomic hydrogen. The surprising result of the production of hydrogen is that it prevents the formation and/or it produces the decomposition of the nitrogen oxides and the carbon monoxide in the combustion gases which will thereafter be rejected to the atmosphere.
In addition to the afore-mentioned advantages, it is found that the exhaust fumes are purified. Also, the engine is more flexible and more silent in operation.
It should be noted that the introduction of steam, together with its passage on a cerium screen, may also be advantageously performed exactly at the location where the formation of the polluting compounds during the combustion process takes place, or immediately upstream of the said location.
-g.
It should also be noted that the cerium screen may be replaced by a coating or a layer of cerium or of a compound comprising cerium on the walls of the conduit 1, and such a coating will be construed as an element for the purposes of this speci fi cation.
