Disclosure of invention Therefore, an object of the present invention is to generate combustion products from the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine of the prime mover of the fertilizer spreading device. Air from both the product and the ambient atmosphere is collected and compressed into a hot compressed form. A method in which a fertilizer spreading device forms a hot gas mixture that is introduced into the soil in a state in which It is to provide law and clothing.

The main products emitted from the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels are those required by the soil for crop production. Most of the main nutrients (and especially nitrogen and carbon in the ionic form of elements or groups) , sulfur, and compounds of these elements, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen hydride - and anhydrous ammonia. Ambient air is the main source of the two Carbon and yellow are derived from high-temperature exhaust gases due to the amount of carbon and oxygen High-temperature particles are mixed with ionized oxides in the collection room and aerobic in the soil. It promotes the movement of biological microorganisms or combines with highly wet combustion microorganisms to release nitrogen and acid. Creates an additional compound.

In reality, all of the exhaust gas is collected from the tailpipe, with about 78% nitrogen and about 21% nitrogen. mixed with ambient air consisting of % oxygen. The gas mixture of combustion products and air 2 is Pulled into the compressor with a slight negative pressure, reducing the back pressure on the gas mixture as much as possible. Ru. Ensure that the flow of gas to the compressor is not so great as to unduly cool the hot gas. Avoid excessive pressure or vacuum. Compressing a hot gas mixture is It not only increases the concentration of the nutrient mixture, but also provides an auxiliary heat source and reduces the amount of nutrients entering the soil. Make sure the base is hot. Retaining heat in the gas mixture 6D is important for keeping soil in the form of ions, its tightening and nutrients are provided by microorganisms in the soil. It reacts in a similar way to create nutrients that can be used by plants.

In operation g&10, container 1o contains the desired amount of supplemental nutrient solution f: filled, the trailer vehicle UO is coupled to the drawbar 57 by means of a coupling device I45. The plow 50 and the discharge pipe 58 are installed so as to pierce the soil 115. . The driver starts the tractor 11 by igniting the internal combustion engine 12 and starts operating the tractor. The powered tractor 11 is moved over the farm 15 along the desired rows in which nutrients are desired to be introduced. I will guide you.

When the tractor 11 passes over the farm 15, i! I like to pierce the surface of field 15. The latch 50 digs a long and narrow plow 55. The exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe 17 is as shown in Fig. 2. 2 through the inlet hole 27 vertically upwardly as indicated by line 29. is discharged into the collected collection chamber 28. The open end 25 of the exhaust pipe 17 and the entrance of the collection chamber 28 The distance from the mouth hole 27 is at least 15.21 + to draw Qi upward into the collection chamber 28. be able to do so.

If the exit hole 52 is large enough and venting is large enough to remove excess gas , the collection chamber 22 is exhausted from the exhaust pipe 17 and enters the housing through the inlet hole 27. is large enough to collect all of the exhaust gases.

In a preferred form of the invention, the inlet hole 27 is approximately twice the diameter of the 80 hole 32 and is 6D. , the diameter of the exit hole 52 is approximately equal to the diameter of the exhaust hole 25. Entrance hole 27 and 80 hole 5 The difference in size between the two is that the combustion gaseous products enter the collection chamber before being discharged through the exit hole 32ft. A flow of gas is passed through the collection chamber 28 just enough to mix with the air inside the collection chamber 28. delay.

The portion of the flat bottom wall 26 without holes allows exhaust gas to pass from the exhaust pipe 17 through the inlet hole 27. When creating a surging flow, the combustion products collected in the collection chamber 2g are Acts as a baffle to prevent loss.

The hot gas mixture of combustion products and air is removed by operating compressor 36. 55. The compressor 56 connects the power take-off shaft 57 to the universal joint 59. synchronized with the internal combustion engine 12 by connecting to the power input shaft 58 of the compressor 36 through the It is preferable that the motor be driven in such a manner that the Therefore, the hot gas mixture drawn from the collection chamber 22 The amount of material is synchronized with the generation of exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust pipe 17.

In a preferred form of the invention, the compressor 36 operates at a constant rotational speed of the internal combustion engine. The volume through the compressor 56 is discharged through the output manifold to the exhaust pipe 17. The timing is adjusted to draw about 5% more gas.

Therefore, the flow rate is slightly larger through the compressor 56 than through the exhaust pipe 17. ducts that can cause excessive loss of exhaust gases and air from the total collection chamber. Eliminates back pressure in port 53 and collection N22. Note that the exhaust pipe is connected via the compressor 56. Slightly greater ventilation through 17 is also provided through outlet hole 32 of collection chamber 28. Create a slight negative pressure or vacuum to create the desired gas flow.

On the other hand, excessive negative pressure or vacuum inside the compressor 56 means that the gas is too cold. In order to prevent the hot gas mixture from flowing through the duct 53 as slowly as possible, can avoid, The gas entering the plow 55 through the exhaust conduit 58 removes many nutrients from their ions. shape to facilitate reaction with microorganisms in the soil of those plows 55 , it is extremely important that the temperature is kept high.

Control valve II8 is for drawing a desired amount of compressed gas from the compressor and for drawing a desired amount of compressed gas from the compressor. Positioned to draw supplemental nutrients from the tank.

Slurry from tank +45 can be supplied by ambient air or fc from combustion products. Not only does it provide additional nutrients, but it also provides hot active gases that are naturally present in the soil. It serves as a support that is held in the local area 9 of the channel 55 in order to react with microorganisms.
