Definitions
- the invention described herein relates to in-line fuel catalyst systems.
- the invention is directed to an apparatus for continuous in-line addition of tin to fuel, although the scope of the invention is not necessarily limited thereto.
- Tin based fuel additives were introduced in the 1960s and, with the advent of unleaded fuel in the 1980s, promoted as a means of allowing engines designed for leaded fuel to run on unleaded fuel. However, unlike lead additives, tin additives are relatively insoluble in fuel.
- an apparatus for the continuous addition of tin to fuel comprising: a non-magnetic cylinder, said cylinder having end pieces suitable for attachment into a fuel line; a lateral ring magnet inside each end of said cylinder, wherein the poles of said magnets are opposed and each said magnet is housed within a magnetic material which protects the periphery and bore of said magnet; at least one external magnetic member positioned between said magnets; a lateral member inwardly adjacent to each said magnet, said member having a plurality of openings for passage of fuel; and a plurality of tin-containing disks between said lateral members, adjacent tin-containing disks having therebetween an abrasion plate comprising a serrated disk with abrasive surfaces.
- a method of improving the performance of an internal combustion engine comprising installing in a fuel supply line of said engine an apparatus according to the first embodiment.
- a preferred material is a non-magnetic stainless steel.
- any non-magnetic material can be used although the cylinder is typically metal.
- these can be any connector suitable for including the apparatus into a fuel line.
- Such connectors include compression fittings, flared fittings or barbed fittings over which a flexible hose can slide.
- the ring magnets of the apparatus are typically rare earth magnets.
- a preferred magnet is a neodymium magnet.
- the housing for each ring magnet typically comprises a pair of flanged tubular sections, the flange of each one of the pair abutting a face of the magnet with the tubular section extending into the bore of the magnet.
- the external magnetic member can be any suitable material but is typically a strip of steel surrounding the cylinder.
- the magnetic member is advantageously a steel mounting clip.
- two spaced-apart magnetic members are provided, positioned inwardly of the ring magnets.
- the two magnetic members can be spaced-apart by an elongate member which can also serve as a mounting member.
- the lateral member of the apparatus is preferably cup-shaped, with the concave surfaces facing the ends of said cylinder.
- the plurality of openings in the member typically positioned at the periphery thereof, aids distribution of fuel about the tin-alloy disks.
- the serrated disks of the abrasion plates are typically manufactured from metal with the abrasive surfaces comprising a multitude of teeth or ridges machined into the surfaces of a disk.
- the surfaces of the disk can be coated with an abrasive material such as diamond dust or carborundum.
- the disks are sized to ensure a clearance fit with the cylinder. The disk can thus rotate and move axially along the cylinder as the tin-alloy disks abrade and the abrasion plates are drawn inwardly under the influence of the magnets.
- Each abrasion plate advantageously has at least one hole therethrough. Typically there are 6 or 8 holes through the abrasion disk but there can be as many as 30 or more.
- the cylinder has an internal diameter which is 15 to 20% greater than the diameter of the tin-alloy disks. This allows fuel to flow between the edges of the disks and the inside- surface of the cylinder.
- the length of the cylinder is determined by the number of tin-alloy disks to be included in the apparatus, with allowance for other components.
- Apparatus comprising 2 tin-alloy disks is adequate for small engines such as lawnmower engines and the like.
- Apparatus used in conjunction with motor vehicle engines can have from 2 to 12 tin-alloy disks, depending on the capacity of the engine.
- Industrial engines typically utilise an apparatus in the fuel-line which comprises up to 30 tin-alloy disks.
- the tin-alloy disks can be made from any suitable alloy.
- a preferred alloy consists of 10-12% antimony, 10-12% lead and the balance tin.
- the apparatus of the invention is not flow-specific, and can be installed in either direction.
- the apparatus functions in the method of the invention in the following manner:
- Fuel passes through the ring magnet, and the end plate ensures that the fuel is then dispersed evenly into the cylinder. As the fuel passes through the section of the cylinder containing the tin-alloy disks, tin is liberated into the fuel, resulting in fuel with improved combustion properties.
- Tin is liberated from the tin-alloy disks by virtue of the action of the abrasion plates on the adjacent tin-alloy disks.
- This abrasion is effected by vibration of the engine in which the apparatus of the invention is installed, the vibration causing the disks to rotate.
- the action is also effected by turbulent flow of fuel through the serrations at the periphery of each abrasion plate which again assists disk rotation.
- both ring magnets it is not necessary for both ring magnets to move as the tin-alloy disks abrade. In some circumstances, it is convenient to install the apparatus at an angle: about 5° for example. In such a circumstance, the lowermost ring magnet tends to remain in the some position while the uppermost ring magnet can move downwardly through being attracted to the external magnetic member, still ensuring that the tin-alloy disks remain closely packed against the abrasion plates.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an apparatus according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of an apparatus according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a schematic view of an abrasion plate included in the device depicted in
- Figure 4 is a schematic view of the ring magnet 4.
- Figure 5 is an exploded side view of a ring magnet with its housing.
- apparatus 1 comprising cylinder 2, connectors 3 and 4, and magnetic clips 5 and 6 about cylinder 2.
- Magnetic clips 5 and 6 are spaced apart by elongate member 6a which also serves as a mounting bar.
- the apparatus is connected into a fuel line by way of the tubular extensions of connectors 3 and 4. Fuel in the fuel line enters the apparatus from either end of the cylinder 2, and exits from the opposite end.
- the arrows indicate the direction of attraction of the ring magnets (not shown) for each other and for clips 5 and 6, and the direction of movement of the ring magnets with time.
- FIG. 2 a cross-sectional view of the apparatus comprising this drawing shows end plugs 7 and 8, housed ring magnets 9 and 10, end plates 11 and 12, a plurality of tin-alloy disks, one of which is item 13, and a plurality of abrasion plates, one of which is item 14, packed in the internal space of cylinder 2.
- the housing for each ring magnet 9 and 10 comprises a pair of flanged tubes, 15 and 16, and 17 and 18, respectively. These will be described in greater detail below.
- the fuel in a fuel line enters the apparatus through the end plug 8, and passes through the middle of the ring magnet 10.
- End plate 12 distributes the fuel evenly to the periphery of the cylinder 2.
- the fuel flows over and around tin-alloy disks 13 and abrasion plate 14 to collect at the second end plate 11.
- the tin-rich fuel then exits through the second ring magnet 9 and end plug 7.
- Plate 19 has a serrated periphery 20 and six holes through the central portion of the disk comprising the plate, one of which holes is item 21.
- Figure 4 is an end view of one of the ring magnets of the apparatus. Bore 22 of ring magnet (item 9 or 10 of Figure 2) can be seen in the figure.
- Magnet 9 has on one face a flanged tubular member 23 and on the other face an identical member 24. Members 23 and 24 are opposed so that in situ the tubular portions 25 and 26 are located in the bore 22 of ring magnet 9.
