Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a blow - by gas recirculation apparatus for internal combustion engines, more particularily to an apparatus adapted to recirculate a blow-by gas heated by the heat of an exhaust gas to an intake manifold for recombustion in the engine.
- the blow - by gas is heated by the heat exchanged from the exhaust gas and is returned to the intake manifold to achieve low emission rate of a pollutant such as CO, CH and nitrogen oxides and to increase combustion efficieny.
- combustion promoting device cannot be commercially used because the dual pipe structure in the exhaust manifold and connection tube is complex and it requires the reconstruction of an engine structure. It has been proposed that the Further technique of atomizing the fuel oil is to be delivered into the carburetor at higher temperature, in which an electric heater is provided in a passage for a fuel oil to be supplied to a carburetor. However, such technique needs additive electric power consumption.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for recirculating the blow-by gas heated by the heat from an exhaust gas to an intake passage, whereby the combustion of the mixture of air and fuel oil is promoted to produce an increased output power and reduce the emission of a pollutant.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus adding a gasified water together with the blow - by gas to an intake passage, whereby the oxygen and hydrogen produced by the thermal analyzing of gasified water in a cylinder promote the complete combustion of fuel oil in the cylinders to increase an output power.
- an apparatus which comprises a heat exchanging device adapted to mounted on an exhaust pipe, including an annular body which has an opening for insertion of a exhaust pipe extended from an engine, the annular body having an internal passage for a blow - by gas flow which is blocked by a wall and the internal passage communicating with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe at both ends thereof .
- Fig.l is a partially sectional view of a heat exchanging device of an blow - by gas recirculation apparatus according to the present invention
- Fig.2 is a perspective view of the heat exchanging device according to the present invention.
- Fig.3 schematically shows the first embodied arrangement of the heat exchanging device in Figure 2 mounted on an engine
- Fig.4 is a schematic view of the second embodied arrangement of the heat exchanging device according to the present invention
- Fig.5 is a schematic view of the third embodied arrangement of the heat exchanging device of the present invention
- Fig.6 is a schematic view of the fourth embodied arrangement of the heat exchanging device of the present invention.
- Fig.2 shows a heat exchanging device 2 of a blow - gas recirculation apparatus 1 according to the present invention.
- the heat exchanging device 2 comprises an annular body having an opening 11 in the center, into which a exhaust pipe 33 extended from an engine is inserted.
- the annular body has an internal passage 16 for a blow - by gas flow which is blocked by a wall 15.
- the internal passage 16 communicates with an inlet pipe 13 and an outlet pipe 14 at both ends thereof .
- the annular body of the heat exchanging device 2 includes two flanges 17 with opening, respectively formed at opposite sides to fix to the mounting flange of a three way catalytic convert 34.
- the blow - by gas is generally composed of hydrocarbon gas produced from incomplete combustion, which is leaked from the engine cylinder to the crankcase.
- the blow - by gas discharged into the atmosphere causes air pollutions.
- the inlet pipe 13 communicates with a positive crankcase ventilation valve (PCV valve) 39 provided at an exhaust pipe for a blow-by gas in the engine 30, as shown in Fig. 3, while the outlet pipe 14 communicating with an intake manifold 38.
- PCV valve positive crankcase ventilation valve
- the blow-by gas exhausted from the engine 30 through the PCV valve 39 flows to the intake manifold 38 through the internal passage 16 of the annular body of the heat exchanging device 2.
- the reference numerals 35, 36, 37 and 31 indicate a fuel tank, a fuel pump, cleaner and carburetor, respectively.
- the combustion gas is exhausted to the exhaust pipes 33 via the exhaust manifold 32 and the three way catalytic convert 34 at which the noise of the exhaust gas is decreased and a pollutant is first removed.
- the temperature of the exhaust pipe 33 adjacent to the three way catalytic convert 34 is of about 800°C - 850°C under unload condition of the engine.
- the blow - by gas exhausted from the PCV valve 39 is heated during its flow through the inlet pipe 13, internal passage 16 and outlet pipe 14 of the heat exchanging device 2 so that the temperature of the blow - by gas of about 80°C is increased to about 800°C .
- the heat exchanging device 2 may be arranged as shown in Fig.4, wherein a mixing valve 21 is provided in the passage between the PCV valve and heat exchanging device 2 to add an vaporous water, which is supplied by a pump 23 provided at a water tank 22, into the blow - by gas therein.
- the supplied vaporous water together with the blow - by gas is heated at a high temperature as mentioned above to be atomized and is added to an intake manifold, so that the atomized water supplied to the cylinder is analyzed into the oxygen and hydrogen to promote the complete combustion of the fuel in the cylinder . Accordingly, it obtains the improved output of the engine and combustion efficiency.
- the heat exchanging device 2 may be arranged as shown in Fig. 5, which is different from the first and second embodiments in that the fuel supplied by a fuel pump 36 via a fuel filter 37 is directed to the device 2 so that the fuel supplied to the carburetor 31 is heated to the temperature of about 800°C of the device 2 and is sufficiently atomized to obtain the complete combustion of the fuel in the cylinder .
- the heat exchanging device 2 may be arranged as shown in Fig. 6, wherein the device 2 is provided to heat the vaporous water supplied by the pump 23 and to direct it to the fuel in the conduit between the carburetor 31 and fuel filter 37 through a valve 21 so that the fuel is sufficiently atomized and is supplied to the cylinder .
- the blow - by gas of relatively lowered temperature is heated by the heat exchanging device 2 and is supplied to the intake manifold, the mixture of the fuel vapor and the air mixed with the heated blow - by gas to about 800°C is sufficiently atomized to promote complete combustion in the engine, whereby the output power is increased and the amount of nitrogen oxides together with hydrocarbon produced from the engine is highly decreased.
- the heat exchanging device according to the present invention may be easily mounted on the three way catalytic convert in the exhaust pipe without cansing any problem.
- the heat exchanging device may be employed into the gasoline, diesel or LPG gas engines.
- the specification and embodiments are interded to be considered illustrative only, with the scope and spirit of the invention being limited by the following claims.
