Description

PROCESS AND DEVICE TO BURN A COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE OF ALR/FUEL+WATER IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
The present descriptive report refers to a patent of invention which has as object a process of burning a comburent hidrogaseous mixture in explosion motors, comburent hidrogaseous used in the process and equipment for obtaining a steam phase used in the process of burning a comburent hidrogaseous mixture, belonging to the field of the
motors started by na explosion and the like and which expect original solutions to improve the performance of these last ones, in cicle oto or diesel motors or turbing motors, fed by gasoling or kerosene or allitool or oil diesel or even vegetal oils.
It is known that the efficiency of the operations of these motors is related directly to the heat and the temperature obtained by the combustion of the combustible wach feed them. It is a general knollesag that said motors present the following defeats, especially
witen fed lith gasoline:
The efficiency of gasoling motors in the order of 25% against 35% of the alchool or diesel motors.
The emission of polluting agents with a high level of carbon monox fre carbon and nitrogen oxide in very high levels.
A gasoline motors liberates 4% of carbon monox, as well as it liberates carbon particles which are not burned and part of it is liberated toggether with the escaping gases and part form storage of the cylinder surface.
Compression range's in gasoline motors in the order of 1;7 against 1;12 in allchool motors. Pre-ignition in gasoline motors which reduces the compression range.
The gasoline motors work with air excess; above 10%.
The inventor of the present invention is the same of the patent application PI 8602705, in examination phase at the INPI (Brazilian Patent Office) and of International Patents, PCI/BR/00013, already granted in the U.S.* in the final phase in 6 countries of the European Common Market, which are about a process of burning al oil mixture.
Said application is about hidro-oil emusion, from its preparation until the burning of it.
As substantially described, in the descriptive report of said application for the burning process of hidro-oil emusion, the micro-explosion phenomenum of the water drops form a self pulverisation of the oil molecules shich grants the reduction and oxination reaction of the waiter.
With the experience obtained in the process of burning hidro-oil emusions and having the above problems in wind amoung other osserved problems, with the performance of the combustible explosion motors systems and in order to overcome them, the inventor has observed the possibility of using the reduction and oxination reactions as in his above inventions, adpted to internal combustion motors, as hereinbelow described.
The hidro-oil burning emusion process, here in above mentioned, and the object of another patent application of the same inventor, concists substantially in the foUowingsteps: emusionate andairate the water and the combustible oil, estabilize the obtained airated emusion, conduct theairaded emusion which is estabilized to a burning beak; to pulverize hite airaited emusion throug a burner in poor aired places and conduct the burning reactions.
As in the explosion motors, the combustible allchool, gasoline or diesel, is already injected in the combustion camera as a gas, there is no need to provide emusioning conditions of water with these substances.
In view of this, in the process, object of the present, invention, is expected, substantially, the injection of steam in the admission camera where the combustible and theoric air mixture is formed - comburent mixture. s Therefore, the burning process of hidrogaseous comburent mixture in explosion motors, object of the present patent, is formed by the following sters: l)-Obtantion of gaseous phase-air + combustible through the usual means of the
explosion motors.
2)- Ibtantion of steam phase of water, to the presure of 1 bar and 120-o C (about 0 10%) through the heat generator, using as heating fluid the escaping gases of the motors with a temperature beaween 400 o C and 800 o C as the type of the motors and combustible used and water to be used in the process.
The alimentation water of the generator will be preheared at a temperature of 90 o C (about 10%), through a circulating pump and the heat exchanger which uses the 5 combustion escaping gases and after the passage through the heat generator.
3) Obtaintion of the hidrogaseous carburant mixture (air + combustible + water steam) comprising the gaseous air phase introduction + combustible in the admission collector of the explosion motor through usual means of the motor and the introduction of the steam phase synchronizes in relation to the gaseous air phase + combustible, through 0 suitable means and the accelerator of the explosion motor, to a dischsrge range selected to keep the conditions of calculated optimization in relation of the features of the motor; and
4) Through the usual means and steps of the explosion motor (in case of cicle oto motors working with gasoline or alchool of 4 phases: admission, compression, explosion, exaltation),step of the hidrogaseous comburent alimentation mixture (air + combustible + 5 w*πi(>r steam) obtained in the combustion cameras of the explosion motors where are conducted the burning reactions of the combustible under high pression and in a
atmosphere composed by the accumulated air in step (1) of obtaintion of the phase gaseous mixture air + combustible and by the water steam in step (2) of obtaintion of the steam phase. For injection motors, directly or turbines, the steam is directly mixed with the combustion air dully reduced, to keep the stoichimentric necessary conditions.
The hidrogaseous comburent mixture obtained by the obtaling process above, at the moment it is fed to the combustion cameras, is comprosed by: air + combustible + water steam, this with the pressure of 1 bar (about 10%) and to the temperature of 120 ° C (about 10%) in proportions as the features and solicitations of the motors.
For a better analyses of the process of burning the comburent mixture, composed by the steam + air + combustible, this last one, comprising gasoline, present further a thermical balance of the mixture of a gasoline molecule { C« H } and with water steam together with the air. The following points are conclusive:
The combustion of a gasoline molecule {Cg Hlg } with 10% air excess liberates 1320, 15 kcal/mol, using a mixture with 35% in the form of water steam there is a liberation of 1386,85 kcal/mol. Therefore represented by na increase of 35% of liberated energy.
The flame temperature calculated in these 2 conditions is:
Pure gasoline with 10% air excess = 2049 °C
Mixed gasoline with 35% steam - 2230 °C there was na increase of the emission
of water steam to the flame temperature indicated of 37,8% {relation 12f41 Hfø O}
9 As the explosive pressure of a combustion volume to a certain pressure, increases with the flame temperature, based on the thermodynamic formula: PV = RT, it is conclusive that the obtaintion of a higher explosive power due to the following facts: a) Increase of temperature; and b) Increase of explosive mixture mass (CO2 + H2O) Therefore, the burning process of the carburant mixture composed by steam + air
+ gasoline, for which the privillege of invention is required, concists essentially on;
1) In the introduction of water steam mixed with na air mass in order to obtain the mentioned benefits and
2) Production of water steam, using the energy of the escaping gases at a high temperature through heat exchangers, as described.

Analysing Paragraph 6-a, we heve:
7,5 CO2 x 44 = 330 gr
0,5 CO x 28 = 14 gr --- 4% 344 gr
Measuring effected ol the motors provided with catalyst filters indicate an emission of the order2500 PPM equivalent to 2,5 gr/Uters of gases, in the escaping to be exit to the
temperature of 80 °C.
The density of the gases of the escaping tube is calculated in 1000 gr/Uters in the function of the avarege temperature.
The total volume of liberated gases (see paragraph 6-a) is 2020 gr by gasoline molecule there fore We have: measured value = 2,5 de CO/lOOOgr de gases
= 5 g by gasoline molecule As the emission of CO by gasoUne molecule with 10% air excess is 14% we conclude that:
emission by molecule witholt filter = 14 gr emission by molecule with filter = 5 gr reduction of 14 - 5 x 100 = 64% 14
