Definitions
- the present invention relates to an internal combustion engine and a vehicle provided with such an internal combustion engine, with means for cleaning exhaust gasses.
- an internal combustion engine which has an engine part for providing a movement, said engine part having an outlet for discharging exhaust gasses from said engine part; and an exhaust gas system including an exhaust gas conduit having an inlet which is connected with said outlet of said internal combustion engine so as to receive discharged exhaust gasses from said internal combustion engine and an outlet which is open, and an additional internal combustion chamber which is directly connected with said outlet of said internal combustion engine and receives exhaust gasses from said internal combustion engine and also receives an air-oxygen mixture from outside without fuel for combustion of the exhaust gasses and introduces the air-oxygen mixture without fuel into said exhaust system so as to provide combustion of the exhaust gasses.
- a vehicle which has a vehicle part to be movable on a road; and an internal combustion engine mounted on said vehicle for driving said vehicle for movement on the road, said internal combustion engine including an engine part for providing a movement, said engine part having an outlet for discharging exhaust gasses from said engine part, and an exhaust gas system including an exhaust gas conduit having an inlet which is connected with said outlet of said internal combustion engine so as to receive discharged exhaust gasses from said internal combustion engine and an outlet which is open, and an additional internal combustion chamber which is directly connected with said outlet of said internal combustion engine and receives exhaust gasses from said internal combustion engine and also receives an air-oxygen mixture from outside without fuel for combustion of the exhaust gasses and introduces the air-oxygen mixture without fuel into said exhaust system so as to provide combustion of the exhaust gasses.
- the internal combustion engine and the vehicle When the internal combustion engine and the vehicle is designed in accordance with the present invention, it substantially increases cleaning of exhaust gasses, so that the exhaust gasses emitted into atmosphere have minimal or substantially no impurities at all.
- Figure 1 is a view schematically showing a vehicle with an internal combustion engine in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a view substantially corresponding to the view of Figure 1 but showing another embodiment of the present invention.
- a vehicle for example an automobile, has a front part identified with reference numeral 1 and rear part identified with reference numeral 2.
- An internal combustion engine 3 drives the vehicle, for example it operates rear wheels of the vehicle.
- the internal combustion engine 3 is provided with a filter 4.
- the interior of a filter housing is covered with tiles of ceramics with a layer of titanium oxide.
- the exhaust system includes two pipe trains including pipes 14, 15, 25 and pipes 16, 17, 24 correspondingly.
- the pipe trains have outlets which are open into atmosphere.
- a chamber 9 is provided for additional burning of exhaust products from the internal combustion engine, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, gas, etc., which has not been completely burned in the cylinders of the internal combustion engine. It has an inlet communicating with an outlet of the engine part or the cylinders and an outlet connected with the pipe trains.
- a vessel for a mixture of oxygen and air is identified with reference numeral 6. It has a pipe 7 for supplying the air oxygen mixture into the engine part or in other words into the cylinders of the internal combustion engine, in direction of the arrow 5, and a pipe 8 for supplying the oxygen-air mixture into the additional chamber 9.
- a preferable ratio of the mixture is 98% of oxygen and 12% of air.
- the oxygen-air mixture is introduced into the chamber 9 in direction of the arrow 8, in particular into a flame 9 which exits the engine part, in its very center.
- a plurality of additional vessels are provided in the exhaust system, including vessels 10 and 11 in one pipe train and vessels 12 and 13 in another pipe train.
- the inner walls of the vessels 10-13 are covered with ceramic tiles with a layer of titanium oxide.
- Arrows 20, 21 , 22, and 23 illustrate directions of movement of exhaust gasses after they have been purified in the inventive exhaust system, then emitted into atmosphere.
- the exhaust flame from the engine part or in other words from the cylinders of the internal combustion engine is mixed at the point 18 with the mixture of oxygen and air in order to continue the combustion which started in the cylinders of the internal combustion engine, in the chamber 9 to provide a complete combustion of the fuel until it is harmless for the environment. It is not necessary to introduce an additional fuel, such as gasoline, etc., into a chamber 9 and it is also not necessary to have an additional igniting element in the chamber 9.
- the layer of the titanium oxide in the subsequent vessels is an additional purifying structure for the exhaust gasses, which additionally purifies the exhaust gasses from impurities.
- the second embodiment of the present invention which is shown in Figure 2 substantially corresponds to the embodiment of Figure 1.
- the internal combustion engine is provided with a turbo injection member or pump 26.
- the oxygen-air mixture is introduced into the additional chamber 9 from the oxygen-air container 6, directly into a flame which emerges from the engine part or from the cylinders of the internal combustion engine.
- the turbo pump 26 introduces the oxygen-air mixture through a pipe 28 also into the chamber 9. This additionally guarantees a complete combustion of the exhaust gasses and its purifications from impurities.
