Description

APPLICATION OF PERMANENT MAGNETISM TO FLUIDS OF HYDROCARBONS OBJECT OF THE INVENTION.

The invention to which the present patent application refers, is based on a correct application of magnetism to apparatuses where a combustion reaction was generated, by means of a magnetic device.

The purpose of the device is to reduce fuel consumption in processes that require combustion as well as the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere.

BACKGROUND According to the state of the art, there are some devices that use magnetic fields, as can be seen in patent US 6,901, 917 B2 and in US patent 5,673,674, which use magnetism with different polarities, particularly the first one, which uses two magnets, one with a positive pole and the other attracting with a negative pole, as can be seen in figure No. 4, of the first mentioned patent; arranged among themselves, to form a magnetic field and pretend to affect the fuel.

And the second (US 5,673,674) using a filter and a diffuser, as shown in Figure No. 16 of said patent and a spiral channel, shown in Figure A of the same patent whereby the fuel while it is magnetically affected by 2 magnets, the first Negative, figure No. 12 and the second positive, figure No. 14 of said patent.

These inventions try to serve as "magnetic filters" for the fuel and one of its main functions is to "clean" the fuel to leave it free of impurities, at the time of the combustion reaction, as can be seen in the patent with application number 95935325.1 of Spain, with publication number 2 153 051, see page 2 row 13 ss of said patent, which in turn also combines magnets with different polarity (one negative and the other positive).

At present, the application of magnetism for the effects of influencing a fuel has been based on using magnets with different poles to generate a magnetic field that affects the fuel before the combustion reaction takes place. In known cases, 2 magnets are used, attracting each other, one of them with a positive pole and the other with a negative pole.

The main characteristic of the present invention comprises an application different from that previously reported in already known inventions, since in this the magnets are used to generate an MRI.

Furthermore, in the present invention, other differences can be found in comparison with any other patent dedicated to the saving of fuels, such as the simplicity of the device, which makes it more economical; another difference is the practicality in the installation of the device since to do it it is not necessary to obstruct or cut off the fuel supply.

This form of magnetism management can be considered an application to the first investigations made by the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics, Edward Mills Purcell; United States of America, 1912 - 1997, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA. (shared with Felix Bloch), for discovering the effect of magnetic resonance on liquids and gases. As is known, all applications for the discovery of magnetic resonance were channeled into the field of medicine and the study of the human body and very little has been remitted the application of such discovery in the field of combustion. As it was investigated by the scientist Purcell, where, thanks to his studies, he was able to verify the polarity change in the electron of the hydrogen molecule.

Thus we have that methane gas or any hydrocarbon is in its normal state with positive and negative elements, in its molecule, being methane (CH4), the most basic hydrocarbon. All hydrocarbons, no matter in which position of the chain they are, are composed of carbon and hydrogen. The hydrogen in turn, is composed of a positive proton (+) and a negative electron (-). The latter being the one that is momentarily affected in its polarity by the magnetic resonance generated by the device.

One more advantage of this device is the use of a smaller number of components for its manufacture, as well as its disposal at the time of installation, as this package does not have to modify, cut or obstruct the fuel pipeline or ducts. (Fig. 3). It does not pretend to be a fuel filter but rather, a resonance chamber, which affects the particles that make up the fuel, in such a way that combustion is more efficient and a saving is generated in the use of combustible fluids.

In this invention, NdFeB grade N45 alloy Neodymium MAGNETOS are used that can have an intensity of up to 25,000 gauss that hardly lose or degrade their magnetic force. And finally in this device magnetos with different polarity are not used in the internal face that gives the passage of the fuel as mentioned above, they are only used orienting in a single magnetic pole with respect to the face that gives the fuel pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The magnetic device is made up of a container or container for magnets, with 2 pieces of concave dielectric plastic (Fig. 1), with a height of 6.6 cm., A thickness of 1.7 cm., With a radius of 3 cm. (D) each, which has the heat insulating capacity of up to 50 ° C. of temperature (A and B). This package has the particularity of adapting to pipes with external diameter of 6.35 mm. (1/4") and up to 1 14.30 mm (4") in diameter, by only making a longitudinal cut at the ends of the internal or concave part of each piece until achieving the required height, (of each different diameter) at put the two pieces together Each piece of the container or container has a cavity, (C) specially designed for the placement of magnets, which are inserted in said cavity and adhere with glue on the basis of cyanoacrylate, plus an eyebrow or lid, to fix the magnet to The cavity; where, according to the diameter of the pipe will be the measurement of the magnet to be used.

In fig. 2 shows the magnet in general, this form is used with different measures and intensities according to the outside diameter of the pipe in which the installation will be carried out. This type of device can be installed on the external diameter of any pipe included between the measurements of 6.35 mm. (1/4") and up to 14.3 mm (4").

The use of curved magnets, fixed to the inner side walls of each plastic piece that makes up the container or container and the same curved shape of the magnets, allows them to self-focus and perform the function of generating an MRI of a adequate and sufficient way to affect the hydrocarbon fluid that generates combustion.

Regarding the intensity of the magnets, this is variable, and in relation to the volume in cubic meters that flow in the installation pipeline and space available for the placement of the devices; this intensity varies between 19,000 and 22,000 gauss. The magnets are manufactured in Neodymium with permanent magnetism (N45) with the variable intensity already mentioned and always used in the same pole or magnetic load, in the internal part of the container, that is, the same magnetic load must be ready for the passage of the fluid fuel, consequently the opposite magnetic poles or charges will be directed towards the external part of the device. Generating in this way an MRI.

When the hydrocarbon passes through the magnetic field, the result of magnetic resonance, an excitation is generated in the hydrocarbon molecules, causing a momentary polarization in the hydrogen atoms that make up these molecules, allowing a better uptake of oxygen, necessary for the combustion reaction.

This causes a greater reduction or oxidation of the carbon atom of the hydrocarbon molecule, as a consequence of a better uptake of oxygen.

A greater oxidation of the carbon atom, derives in a combustion reaction more efficient and with greater calorific power, thus obtaining a higher temperature with the same volume of hydrocarbon. In the processes of production or transformation, a higher temperature with the same volume of hydrocarbons, results in savings in their consumption, as well as a reduction in the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere.

The external part of the magnetos containers will be covered with aluminized glass fiber cloth or siliconized glass fiber, to withstand temperatures up to 150 ° C. This exterior coating fulfills the purposes of protection against shock and high temperatures.

This device, by its design does not require any type of tool for installation, only glue with cyanoacrylate base to join both parts or plastic straps.

COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE A verification installation was made, carried out in a Rolador Oven that has 2 natural gas burners (F). Before the installation of the devices, an appropriate and exclusive gas volume meter was placed for this oven (E). Periodic readings, time of reading and working temperature at that time were recorded for a period of 20 consecutive days. Obtaining in this period, an average consumption of 173.65 m3 daily.

We proceeded with the installation of the devices in each of the burners that have this rolador oven. We continued with the registration of the same previous parameters under the same working conditions. In a period of 30 days after installing the devices, the average consumption recorded was 140.33 m3 per day. The records show a difference of 33.32 m3 per day, equivalent to a 19.18% between the period called before and the one called after.

This difference of 33 m3 per day represents the savings obtained by having installed the devices in the rolling mill. This is the value of daily cubic meters not consumed and consequently not emitted into the atmosphere.

The calculation was made through the expression, performance improvement in% = (Fuel consumption per day before - Fuel consumption per day after) / (Fuel consumption per day before) * 100.

Then the data is displayed in the format that was developed for this verification installation.
