Definitions

• This invention relates to a dose measuring device/mixer of fuel, air and water, for internal combus- tion engines, which will fully replace the traditional carburators of petrol engines, without the need for alterations in the remainder of the engine.
• the principal object of the present invention is to provide a mixture rich in combustible elements contained in the air and in steam, envolving a minimum of fuel, exactly the sufficient to allow the explosion of inflammable substance, which guarantees a substantial economy in fuel, when compared with conventional systems,where, frequently, occurs the presence of excessive quantities of fuel in the mixture.
• the invention provides the complete burning of the fuel inside the cylinders resulting thereby a total absence of combustion residues, contributting therefore decisively for the effective elimination of atmospheric pollution caused by internal combustion engines.
• the invention consists of a functional assemblage made up basically of four main elements, as follows: a) a small reservoir 1, hermetically closed, whereto the fuel to be used in the mixture comes in; b) a small duly heated magnetized chamber 2 where the water passing therein is heated under pressure and turned into steam; c) a narrow chamber 3, preferably elongated and preferably ringshapped in cross section, where evaporation, under pressure, of the fuel coming from reservoir 1 and optionally the mixture of said fuel with steam coming from magnetized chamber 2, take place; a hollowed body 4, preferably tubular, for the passage of atmospheric air, where the mixture of evaporated fuel, steam and air takes place.
• the fuel (petrol, alcohol, etc.) in liquid state, passes through reservoir 1, being afterwards led to chamber 3, where it evaporates under heavy pressure , and upon wich it is discharged into the hollowed body 4 where mixture with passing air takes place.
• the water under pression is made to pass through the duly heated magnetized chamber 2, preferably elongated and preferably tubular, where evaporation takes place.
• the resulting steam is afterwards led to chamber 3, where it will mix with the fuel under evaporation, or may be led directly to said hollowed body 4 where the mixture with the passing air and with the evaporated fuel, which comes from chamber 3, takes place, forming the final inflammable substance.
• Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the invention, where it is shown the functional embodiment made up of the four above mentioned main elements, as follows: a reservoir 1, where the passing of the fuel coming into the system, in liquid state, takes place; a magnetized chamber 2, duly heated, for the evaporation of the water to be used in the mixture; a chamber 3 where the evaporation of the fuel coming from reservoir 1, and optionally the mixture of such evaporated fuel with the steam coming from the magnetized chamber 2, takes place; and finally a hollowed body 4, preferably tubular, where the mixture of evaporated fuel and steam with the passing atmospheric air takes place.
• Fig. 2, 3 and 4 represent a non-limitative feature of the invention, consisting of a compact functional device made up of the four main elements referred abovet a reservoir 1, a magnetized chamber 2, a chamber 3 for fuel evaporation and a hollowed body 4.
• the fuel comes into the system through duct 5, and reachs , through tube 6, the chamber 3 for evaporation.
• water comes, through duct 7, into magnetized chamber 2, where it is heated up till steam, upon which it is discharged through tube 8 into ehamber 3 or. into the hollowed body 4.
• Chamber 3 is longitudinally disposed inside the hollowed body 4.
• a tube 9 to discharge the exceeding fuel, which returns to the system.
• a small, helix-shaped deflector which controls the fuel and/or steam flowing into chamber 3.
• This deflector is joined to an elongated, preferable cylinder-shaped rod 11, able to move angularly and longitudinally. Said rod operates inside a tubular body 12, forming with this last one the evaporation chamber 3.
• the assemblage made up by deflector 10 and rod 11 is submitted, by one side, to a screwed pin 13 which controls the longitudinal position of the rod, and by the other side to and antagonistic spring 14, which forces said rod against pin 13.
• Fig.2 is a perspective view of the functional assemblage herein described, displaying all its component parts.
• Fig. 3 is an illustrative sectional view of the hollowed body 4 and of chamber 3, set into said hollowed body. The atmospheric air, passing through the hollowed body, in the direction pointed out by the arrows, bumps against deflector 10, forming circles inside the hollowed body 4, forcing the rod 11 to perform an angular movement.
• Rod 11 shows lengtwise inclined grooves 15, 16, facing hollows 17 and 18 of fuel and/or steam access into chamber 3.
• the tubular body 12 is disposed in its free end 19 with smalX exit orifices 20 for the passage of inflammable substance to operate the engine.
• a butterfly valve 21 controlled by the engine acceleratorrator.
• A. greater or smaller opening of said valve determines the volume of air that comes into the hollowed body 4.
• the current of air bumping against the deflector 10 determines the degree of angular movement of rod 11 inside tubular body 12, which controls the opening by which the fuel and steam enter into chamber 3.
• Such opening depends on the groove's 15, 16 angular position on the movable rod 11, in relation to hollows 17, 18 disposed on the tubular body 12.
• Fig. 4 represents an illustrative example of the magnetized chamber 2,where the.water evaporation takes place.
• a small tube 22, preferably of iron, is externally disposed with two wire windings, 23, 24, one of them operating as a resistance which heats, to a desired temperature, the water- passing through said tube, while the other is connected to an adequate energetical source, for example, the current of the battery, causing the magnetization of tube 22,
• a valve 25 is disposed at the entrance of the tube 22, to control the passing water.
• the fuel comes into the reservoir 1, and goes out through tube 6, where it undergoes a compression on its way to chamber 3.
• water comes into tube 22 where it is heated until it turns into steam, upon which it is conducted, through tube 8, to chamber 3 where the mixture with the fuel in evaporation takes place, or it is discharged directly into the hollowed body 4, where the mixture with the fuel coming from the evaporation chamber and with the atmospheric air passing through said hollowed body takes place.
• the volume of mixture discharged into the engine depends on the greater or smaller opening of the butterfly 21, disposed at the bottom of said hollowed body 4.
• the invention not only brings substantial economy in fuel, in a percentage effectively considerable, bulr also allows a longer life for the engine, doing away with whalr happens in conventional systems, where, as a result of the presence of excessive quantities of fuel in the mixture, the unburnt fuel "washes" the inside of the cylinders, removing the lubricant oil from their walls, and creating, in such way, conditions for the reduction of the useful life of the engine.
