Abstract

The invention is a bottle and apparatus system developed for adding additives to the LPG tank in order to prevent the dirt that occurs over time in vehicle tanks using LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas-Liquified Petroleum Gas) and the resulting low efficiency, the main body-1 (3) It consists of three main parts: (2) and propane additive bottle (1). The system can be operated in two different ways by using the propane additive bottle (1) or by directly transferring the protective solution (5) to the housing formed by the combination of the main body-1 (3) and the main body-2 (2) without using the propane additive bottle (1).

Description

DESCRIPTION BOTTLE AND INJECTION APPARATUS SYSTEM FOR ADDITIVES TO VEHICLE LPG TANK The invention relates to a bottle and apparatus system developed for adding additives to LPG tanks in order to prevent dirt and resulting efficiency decreases that occur over time in vehicle tanks and fuel systems using LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas). LPG, known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas in Turkish, is obtained by mixing butane and propane gases. LPG, which is stored in liquid form under pressure, has started to be widely used in automobiles as a result of the oil crisis that started after the 1970s, especially as a result of the alternative fuel search efforts, and its use has become widespread and continues to become widespread day by day due to being both environmentally friendly and economical. For use in vehicles, specially developed, usually cylindrical, tanks that have undergone many standards and tests are mounted on the vehicles and LPG is stored in these tanks. When the tank is empty, it is easily filled by means of LPG filling pumps located at gas stations. Regardless of whether gasoline, diesel or LPG is used, vehicle fuel systems get dirty over time and this reduces the vehicle's efficiency. In this case, system cleaning agents are placed in the tanks and cleaning is done, and the vehicle's old efficiency is tried to be restored. Unlike gasoline and diesel vehicle tanks, LPG tanks are closed systems and there is constant pressure inside. For this reason, it takes a long time to put the cleaning solution into the LPG tank, serious costs may be required to eliminate unwanted situations that arise during application, and accidents may occur. In order to eliminate these problems, thanks to the injection apparatus and additive bottle made of PVC and similar materials, the solution is transferred to the LPG tank practically and without causing any accidents and the system is cleaned in this way. Thus, both undesirable results are prevented and the system can be cleaned practically and maintenance costs are reduced. The injection apparatus is also developed in a way that it can be used without the bottle. The bottle and apparatus system developed to achieve the said purposes are shown in the attached figures and the corresponding figures are given below: Figure-1: Perspective view of the additive bottle with solution inside. Figure-2: Exploded view of the additive bottle. Figure-3: Perspective view of the main body of the injection apparatus. Figure-4: Injection apparatus main body exploded view Figure-5: Injection apparatus pump and main body application view. Figure-6: Injection apparatus pump and main body detail view. Figure-7: Application view-1 Figure-8: Application view-2 The parts in the figures are numbered one by one and the correspondences of the numbers are given below: 1- Propane additive bottle. 1.1. Riveted, breakable safety cap. 1.2. Aluminum squeeze cap. 1.3. Polyethylene sealing foil 2- Main body-2 2.1. Bottle piercing tip. 2.2. Ball pusher spring. 2.3. Ball preventing backflow. 2.4. 0 ring holder 2.5. Ball O ring. 2.6. Sealing O ring between bodies. 2.7. Main body main sleeve 3- Main body-1 4- Fixed bottle piercer. - Preservative Solution. The bottle and injection apparatus system for adding additives to the LPG tank of the vehicle in question consists of three main parts: the main body-1 (3) with the fixed bottle piercer (4) placed in the slot on it, the propane additive bottle (1) with holes at both ends, which is placed in the system between the main body-1 (3) and the main body-2 (2) and houses the preservative solution (5), the main body (2) which pierces the propane additive bottle (1) by pressing on it and plays a role in the safe transfer of the solution by remaining between the main body-1 (3) and itself. The system can also be used without using the propane additive bottle (1) by pouring the solution into the bottle housing formed by the main body-1 (3) and main body-2 (2) composition of the preservative solution (5). In this case, the system is operated without using the propane additive bottle (1). The preservative solution (5) that performs the cleaning process may be produced from different raw materials that perform the preservative function. The propane additive bottle (1) with holes at both ends is preferably made of PVC material. However, it can be produced from similar materials that will perform the same functions. The propane additive bottle (1) houses the preservative solution (5). There are one riveted, breakable polyethylene safety cap (1.1), aluminum tightening cap (1.2) and polyethylene sealing foil (1.3) symmetrically placed at both ends of the bottle (1). The main body (2); It is mounted on the main body-1 (3) and prevents the propane additive bottle (1) and the gas inside it from escaping. It also includes an adapter to which the LPG gun will be connected. The bottle piercing tip (2.1), ball pusher spring (2.2), ball preventing backflow (2.3), 0 ring holder (2.4), ball O ring (2.5), O ring between bodies (2.6) and the main body main sleeve (2.7) are located on the main body-2. When the propane additive bottle (1) is not in use, the protective solution (5) is directly emptied into the socket formed by the combination of the main body-1 (3) and the solution (5) becomes a socket. The main body-1 (3) is the standard filling gun used in LPG stations. The fixed bottle piercer (4) placed in the slot on the main body-2 (2) and the propane additive bottle (1) that is opened by piercing with the tip plays a role in the transfer of the solution inside and prevents the gas from escaping. The operating principle of the system is as follows: In case of using the propane additive bottle (1); the propane additive bottle (1) filled with solution is attached to the main body-1 (3) by breaking the riveted, breakable safety cap (1.1). The main body-2 (2) is attached to the main body-1 (3) and tightened. The LPG filling gun is attached to the adapter at the back of the apparatus and gas is supplied. After the gas is added, the adapter is removed and the pressure inside is released and it is ready for use again. If a propane additive bottle (1) is used in the system, the main body-1 (3) and the main body-2 (2) are connected to each other in the same way and the protective solution (5) is poured into the resulting bottle housing and the system is operated.
