JPH05320670A - Fuel consumption improver for liquid fuel - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the combustion efficiency of a liquid fuel. CONSTITUTION:This fuel consumption improver of a liquid fuel has a structure wherein an inner vessel having a fuel inlet at the bottom and a fuel outlet at the top is fit inside a metal-made outer vessel 1 having similarly a fuel inlet at the bottom and a fuel outlet at the top and a massive ceramic 2 containing a radioactive element burned at 800-2,300 deg.C is packed in the inner vessel.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fuel economy reformer for liquid fuel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Regarding the fuel consumption reduction of liquid fuels such as gasoline, light oil, kerosene, heavy oil and natural gas, the fuel consumption has been improved by improving various machines and equipments using the liquid fuels. The fuel itself has not been improved, and there is a demand for a fuel efficiency improvement measure for the liquid fuel itself for reasons of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0003]

The problem to be solved is to improve the combustion efficiency of the liquid fuels themselves.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is made of a glass having an outer metallic container having a fuel inlet at the bottom and a fuel outlet at the top, and also having a fuel inlet at the bottom and a fuel outlet at the top. Alternatively, it is a fuel economy reformer for liquid fuel in which a ceramic inner container is fitted, and the inner container is filled with a lump of ceramic containing a radioactive element that has been fired at 800 to 2300 ° C.

The inner container made of glass or porcelain is used here because it absorbs less radiation, and the metal outer container compensates for the fragility of the inner container. Uses steel or aluminum.

[0006] As the radioactive element, various elements such as radium, itlum, uranium and the like are used. These elements or compounds are mixed with clay and / or ash to form spherical,
It is used by finishing it into a disk, rod, or other lump shape.
The above ceramic is fired at 800 to 2300 ° C. because the ceramic is not sufficiently fused at 800 ° C. or higher and the liquid phase starts to melt at 2300 ° C. or higher.

[0007]

The fuel reformer according to the present invention is used just before the fuel combustion section. For example, in the case of an automobile, the fuel reformer is installed vertically just before the fuel filter. Is radiated and reformed through the space between the bottom and the ceramic, and is supplied to the engine from the top through the fuel filter.

[0008]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to its examples. As shown in FIG. 1, a substantially disk-shaped ceramic lump 2 having a diameter of about 10 mm and a thickness of about 3 mm was filled in a container 1 having a diameter of 50 mm and a length of 150 mm. The size of the container and the size of the ceramic lump are not limited to those described above, and may be appropriately changed in consideration of the application.

The components of the ceramic agglomerates shown in the above examples are as follows.

As a result of testing the fuel efficiency reformer according to the above-mentioned embodiment on a passenger car, an improvement in fuel efficiency of 15 to 20% was observed. The CO ₂ concentration in the exhaust gas was 13.1% before using this fuel efficiency reformer, but 9.4 after using it.
It went down to%. Further, the HC value showing the complete burnup was 16 ppm before the use, whereas it decreased to 7 ppm after the use.

Next, as another embodiment, a porous tube-shaped ceramic mass made of the same components as in the above embodiment is packed in a container and disposed immediately before a fuel filter of an automobile. As a result of running test, it was found that similar results were obtained and the combustion efficiency of gasoline was improved.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the inner container made of glass or ceramics is used, the radiation in the ceramic is not absorbed and the fuel is sufficiently poured. As a result, it greatly contributes to the fuel efficiency improvement of the liquid fuel, and at the same time, there is an effect that the external impact is protected by the metal outer container.
