Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a light oil reforming device, and its purpose is to simply insert it into the fuel supply path of a gasoline internal combustion engine of an automobile, etc., and use the storage battery mounted on the automobile as a power source. An object of the present invention is to provide a light oil reforming device capable of reforming light oil and driving a gasoline internal combustion engine.

Currently, there is no device for driving a gasoline internal combustion engine with light oil.

However, due to the need for energy conservation, there has been a demand for the creation of a simple device that can use diesel oil as fuel in a gasoline internal combustion engine in order to reduce fuel consumption.

This invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and one embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an electrode for forming a discharge plasma column, in which at least one electrode is formed from a monolayer of nickel sulfide, and the counter electrode is a monolayer of molybdenum sulfide.

In this embodiment, it is preferable that the distance between the electrodes 1 is approximately 15 o 1 r L 1 n, and in other embodiments, other values that produce the effects of the present invention may be selected.

The voltage applied between the electrodes is preferably about 15,000 V Ac.

The base 2 on which the electrode 1 is implanted is a 100% magnetic mirror coated with at least a monomolecular layer of lithium oxide.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a coil wound around the outer circumference of the device to stabilize the discharge plasma column, and this coil forms a magnetic field to apply magnetic pressure to the plasma column to prevent the plasma column from dispersing.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a heating wire that is covered with a protective tube made of an insulating material such as a quartz glass tube 5, and heats it by applying an electric current to it, thereby contributing to the activation of the light oil supplied into this device.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a nozzle that mixes light oil and hydrogen in advance outside the device and supplies the nozzle, which is coupled from the light oil supply path to the internal combustion engine (not shown).

Although light oil is given a constant ejection pressure when mixed with hydrogen, a separate ejection pressure may be applied if necessary.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an outlet for the reformed light oil, which is connected from the outlet lower to a fuel supply path to an internal combustion engine such as a carburetor (not shown).

Note that the above power source is supplied from a DC 12V storage battery using a known converter.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a cover that airtightly surrounds the main body 9 of the apparatus, and the cover 8 and the main body 9 are preferably made of synthetic resin such as an acrylic resin tube from the viewpoint of electrical insulation and durability.

The light oil reforming device having such a configuration generates a discharge plasma column by applying voltage to the electrode 1, coil 3, and heating wire 4, and when a mixture of light oil and hydrogen is discharged into the device from the nozzle 6, electrons are generated. The discharge breaks the C-C bonds in the gas oil component, and hydrogen is added to this cut location.
It is reformed into a columnar shape suitable for supplying gasoline to internal combustion engines.

In addition, when the discharge length is set to about 1507 nrIL, the reforming efficiency is best when the amount of light oil supplied to the device is about 211 minutes, and the hydrogen mixing rate is about 2 CC per minute.

Of course, the design of the amount of light oil supplied, the amount of hydrogen supplied, and the distance between the electrodes can be changed each time, taking into consideration the type of gasoline internal combustion engine, the amount of fuel supplied, etc. as appropriate.

As described in detail above, although the light oil reforming device according to the present invention is an extremely simple device, it is an epoch-making device for reforming light oil so that it can be used in gasoline internal combustion engines.
