The housing and the fuel discharge pipe are made of electrical insulating material. The positive electrode is partially located in the exhaust fuel line, and the negative electrode is made in the form of a braid on the outer surface of the exhaust fuel line, the latter being equipped with inserts for the positive electrode having channels for the passage of fuel. The device provides for the presence of an electric source (block) of high voltage to form an electric potential at the electrodes (SU, a.s. 1671934, according to class F 02 M 27/04, publ. 1991).

 Figure 1 shows a General view of the device in section, figure 2 is a section along aa of figure 1.

 A device for processing fuel in an internal combustion engine comprises a hollow body 1 made of electrical insulating material, inlet 2 and exhaust 3 flanges that define the housing 1 from the ends and are equipped with inlet 4 and 5 outlet channels that are in communication with the engine input 6 and output 7. The positive electrode 8 is installed along the axis of the housing 1, the negative electrode 9 is placed concentrically to the positive electrode 8. In the negative electrode 9 and in the positive electrode 8 are made inlet 10 and outlet 11 channels, respectively. The working channel 12 for the passage of fuel is formed by positive 8 and negative 9 electrodes. The high voltage unit 13 is made in the form of a core 14, which externally covers the negative electrode 9, as well as high voltage and low voltage windings 16, which are concentric with the core 14. The high voltage winding 15 is connected at one end via a contact 17 to the positive electrode 8, and the second the end through the contact 18 with the negative electrode 9. The low voltage winding 16 through the contacts 19 and 20 is connected by a circuit 21 to a low voltage source 22.

 Between the flanges 2 and 3 and the electrodes 8 and 9, spacers 23 and 24 with an inlet 25 and an outlet 26 channels for fuel passage are placed, a sealing sleeve 27 is placed between the core 14 and the negative electrode 9. The space occupied by the high and low voltage windings 16 is filled insulating fluid (not shown), such as transformer oil. Voltage regulator 28 is included in circuit 21 of low voltage source 22. The core 14 is made in the form of a set of metal plates 29.

 The device operates as follows.

 Fuel is supplied through an inlet fuel pipe 6 from an engine (not shown) to the inlet channel 4 of the inlet flange 2 and then through the inlet channel 25 in the spacer 23 and the inlet channel 10 of the negative electrode 9 to the working channel 12, from where the fuel is fed through the channels 11 of the positive electrode 8, the exhaust channel 26 in the spacer 24 and the exhaust channel 5 of the exhaust flange 3 is sent to the output fuel line 7 of the engine.

 Electrical power from a low voltage source 22 through an electric circuit 21 through a voltage regulator 28 and contacts 19 and 20 is supplied to a low voltage winding 16.

 Windings low 16 and high 15 voltage work on the principle of mutual induction. The intermittent current generated by the low voltage source 22 causes a change in the magnetic field around the low voltage winding 16. A changing magnetic field induces an EMF in the high voltage winding 15, the value of which is determined by the ratio of the number of turns in the low 16 and high voltage windings 15.

 From the high voltage winding 15, an electric current is supplied from one end of the winding through the contact 17 to the positive electrode 8, and from the second end of the winding 15 through the contact 18 to the negative electrode 9. An electric field is created between the electrodes 8 and 9 in the working channel 12 on fuel flow.

 The effect of the electric field on the fuel flow is to weaken the molecular bonds and optimize the process of ignition of the fuel and its combustion.

 Simultaneously, windings of low 16, high voltage 15 and core 14 create a magnetic field, the lines of force of which cover the working channel 12 and, accordingly, affect the fuel flow in the working channel 12.

 The magnetic field created by the windings 15, 16 and the core 14 in the working channel 12, changes the hydrocarbon structure of the fuel, which leads to easier oxidation processes, equalization of the distribution of molecules in the volume of the combustion chamber of the engine cylinders (not shown) and improvement of mixture formation conditions.

 Flanges 2 and 3, which are in electrical contact with electrodes 9 and 8, to which a high voltage is applied, are made of insulating material to prevent injury from high voltage electric current, or spacers 23 and 24 are used.

 Spacers 23 and 24 with channels 25 and 26 for fuel passage, placed between flanges 2 and 3 and electrodes 9 and 8 and made of electrical insulation material, exclude the electrical contact of electrodes 8 and 9 with flanges 2 and 3, which allows flanges 2 and 3 to be made from metal and isolate electrodes 8 and 9, powered by high voltage, from the environment, i.e. eliminate the risk of personal injury due to high voltage electric current.

 The sealing sleeve 27 is designed for better sealing against penetration of fuel from the working channel 12 into the high voltage unit 13 with windings 15 and 16, which could lead to damage to the windings and malfunction of the device.

 The space occupied by the windings is filled with an insulating liquid, for example transformer oil, for better insulation of the windings 15 and 16 and their better cooling.

 The voltage regulator 28 is included in the circuit 21 of the low voltage source 22 to regulate the voltage (intensity) of the electric field between the electrodes 8 and 9.

 The core 14 is made of a set of metal plates 29 to reduce eddy currents and increase the efficiency of the device.

 Thus, the implementation of the device for processing fuel in internal combustion engines with the union in a single housing of the hydraulic part, including electrodes and channels for the passage of fuel, and the electrical part, including windings with a core, simplifies the design of the device while eliminating the risk of injury from high voltage electric current and the possibility of damage to electrical communications, as well as reduce the loss of electrical potential at the electrodes and provide additional abotku fuel magnetic field.
