産業上の利用分野
本発明は蓄熱材とヒートパイプを利用した自動車などの
燃焼式エンジンに用いる蓄熱式空気予熱器に関するもの
である。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a regenerative air preheater for use in combustion engines such as automobiles, which utilizes a thermal storage material and a heat pipe.
従来例の構成とその問題点
従来の燃焼式エンジンは、エンジン始動時の空気予熱を
行うものが無いため、寒冷地や真冬の早２／ −ミ
朝など気温が低い時にはエンジンがかかりにくくなり、
バッテリが古くなってきている場合には、セルモータが
すぐに回らなくなってしまうという問題があった。Conventional configuration and its problems Conventional combustion engines do not have anything to preheat the air when starting the engine, so it is difficult to start the engine when the temperature is low, such as in cold regions or early mornings in the middle of winter.
If the battery is getting old, there is a problem in that the starter motor soon stops turning.
発明の目的
本発明はかかる従来の問題を解消するもので、エンジン
への吸入空気を予熱してエンジンの始動をスムーズにす

トパイプの凝縮部を蓄熱材に接して設けたものである。Structure of the Invention The present invention includes a heat storage material disposed inside an air filter body, and an evaporation section of the heat pipe to transmit engine heat to the heat storage material through a heat pipe (gravity heat pipe or loop heat pipe). It is provided in contact with the high temperature part of the engine, and the condensing part of the heat pipe is provided in contact with the heat storage material.

ンジンへ送るのでスムーズな始動を行い得る。With this configuration, the engine heat obtained during driving on the previous day is transferred to the heat storage material using the heat pipe and stored there. When the engine starts the next day, the air is preheated by the heat radiation of the heat storage material and sent to the engine. This allows for smooth starting.

以下、本発明の一実施例について、第１図に基づいて説

蓄熱材４より構成されている。1 is the air filter body, air filter 2, insulation material 3,
It is composed of a heat storage material 4.

る。6 is an intake port provided in a part of the air filter main body 1, and 6 is an outlet for sending air to a carburetor (not shown). Reference numeral 7 denotes a combustion type engine main body, in which an evaporation section 9 of a heat pipe 8 is arranged so as to come into contact with an internal high temperature section. On the other hand, 1° is a condensing part of the heat pipe 8, which is disposed in the heat storage material 4 so as to improve heat transfer.
なお、ヒートパイプ８は、熱搬送が一方向の動力式ヒー

熱材４の熱がヒートパイプ８を通して冷えたエンジン７
に逃げてしまうことも殆どない。In the above configuration, the surplus heat obtained by the heat generated by the engine 7 during driving is transferred from the evaporating section 9 of the heat pipe 8 to the condensing section 1.
o, where the heat is stored in the heat storage material 4. After the engine has stopped, the heat insulating material 2 covering the air filter body 1 is
Due to its heat retention effect, it continues to store heat without releasing much heat.
Furthermore, since the heat pipe 8 only transfers heat in one direction, the heat of the heat storage material 4 passes through the heat pipe 8 to the cooled engine 7.
I almost never run away.
そして次のエンジン７の始動時には、空気が吸気口６を

エンジン７の始動をスムーズに行わせる。なお、通常の
運転中でも空気が予熱されてキャプレタに送られるので
燃費が向上するという効果も得られる。When the next engine 7 is started, air is taken into the air filter body 1 through the intake port 6, passes through the air filter 2, absorbs heat from the heat storage material 4, is preheated, and is then transferred from the outlet port 6 to the carburetor. (not shown) to smoothly start the engine 7. Furthermore, since the air is preheated and sent to the carburetor even during normal operation, fuel efficiency can be improved.
また、エアフィルタ本体１は断熱材３に覆われてはいる

されるという優れた効果が得られる。Also, although the air filter body 1 is covered with the heat insulating material 3, the intake port 6 is always open! ,''!, Therefore, good heat retention performance cannot be obtained up to this trench, but in this embodiment, since the air intake port 6 is located below the air filter body 1, it is heated by the natural heat dissipation of the heat storage material 4. Even if the air inside the air filter body 1 rises, it does not flow out from the intake port 6, so there is almost no heat loss due to convection with the outside, and high heat retention performance can be achieved with the intake port open. Excellent effects can be obtained.
