Brief Description of the Drawings
Figure 1 illustrates the invention with install monopole compression sets; Figure 2 illustrates a fuel-line monopole compression component set attached on a fuel line exterior surface; Figure 3 illustrates an oil monopole compression component attached on an oil filter; Figure 4 illustrates a water-line monopole compression component set; Figure 5 illustrates monopole compression component housing a magnet; and Figures 6-7 illustrate other details of the invention. Description of the Preferred Embodiments
With reference to Figure 1, there is illustrated an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a monopole compression fluid conditioning system 1. Fuel line 10 is provided with an interior fuel passage for providing fuel to an engine 15. The fuel line 10 has an internal diameter, an exterior surface, and an external diameter. Although not limiting, the fuel line may be any of a diesel line, a gasoline line, and a gasohol line, and the fuel may be any of diesel, gasoline, and gasohol.
There is provided plural fuel-line monopole compression component sets 2O1 The term plural is used to mean two or more. With reference to Figure 2, each fuel-line monopole compression component set 20 is comprised of magnets within a housings 25 symmetrically attached on the fuel line exterior surface. All the fuel-line magnets inside housings are attached to the fuel line exterior surface have a South magnetic polarity adjacent the fuel line exterior surface and a North magnetic polarity remote from the fuel line exterior surface. Each fuel-line monopole compression component is equidistant each adjacent fuel- line monopole compression component as measured along the exterior surface of the fuel line. This arrangement subjects the fuel molecules traveling past the fuel-line monopole compression component set 20 to magnetic conditioning in that the molecules are subjected to a monopole South polarity magnetic field. The monopole South polarity magnetic field reverses the fuel molecules' polarity from a (-) negative polarity to a positive (+) polarity.
As illustrated by Figure 1 , plural fuel-line monopole compression component sets 20 are place close to the engine 15. Plural sets improve the monopole compression effect on the fuel being transported within the fuel line to the engine. The proximity of the treatment to the final combustion point improves the overall magnetic conditioning as the monopole compression affects remains in force at the time of combustion. Plural of the fuel-line monopole compression components sets 20 may be attached adjacent the engine at a portion of the fuel line adjacent a fuel intake manifold 23.
With reference to Figure 2, the magnets within housing 25 are secured to the fuel line 10 and each other by straps. Heat-resistant high tensile strength plastic straps are advantageous for long-term fastening. The magnets 25 are 100 Gauss and up. Preferably, the magnets 25 are 4100 Gauss with a strength adequate to reverse the fuel molecules' polarity from a (-) negative polarity to a positive (+) polarity.
Fuel-filter monopole compression component set(s) 30 may be secured to a fuel filter 35. Ideally, the fuel filter 35 should be located near the engine 15. The fuel-filter monopole compression component set 30 comprises plural fuel-filter magnets 33 symmetrically attached on the fuel filter exterior surface. All the fuel-filter magnets 33 are attached to the fuel filter exterior surface and have a South magnetic polarity adjacent the fuel filter exterior surface and a North magnetic polarity remote from the fuel filter exterior surface, each fuel- filter monopole compression component being equidistant each adjacent fuel-filter monopole compression component as measured along the fuel filter exterior surface. As with the fuel- line monopole compression components sets, plural fuel-filter monopole compression component sets 30 may be placed on the fuel filter to enhance the monopole compression effect on the fuel being filtered through the fuel filter. Straps similar to those used with the fuel-line monopole compression component sets are provided for the fuel-filter monopole compression component sets.
Air-line monopole compression component sets 40 are attached on an air intake line. The air line has an interior air passage, an internal diameter, an exterior surface, and an external diameter. Each air-line monopole compression component set 40 comprises plural air-line magnets within housings 45 symmetrically attached on the air line exterior surface. All air-line monopole compression components are attached to the air line exterior surface and have a North magnetic polarity adjacent the air line exterior surface and a South magnetic polarity remote from the air line exterior surface. Each air-line monopole compression component is equidistant each adjacent air-line monopole compression component as measured along the air-line exterior surface.
The air-line monopole compression component sets 40 subject the air molecules traveling pass the air-line monopole compression component sets to a high North polarity monopole magnetic field. This North polarity monopole magnetic field reinforces the air molecules' negative (-) polarity. Plural air-line monopole compression component sets 40 enhance the monopole compression effect on the air being sent to the engine. When fuel molecules, having been enhanced to have a positive polarity and the air molecules, having been enhanced as to the natural negative polarity, are injected into the combustion chamber of the engine, both sets of molecules are highly attracted to each other. This high mutual attraction increasing combustion efficiency and reduces emissions.
Figure 3 illustrates an oil monopole compression component 50 attached on an oil filter 53. The oil monopole compression component set 50 comprises plural oil-filter magnets 55 symmetrically attached on the oil filter exterior surface. All the oil-filter magnets 55 are attached to the oil filter exterior surface and have a South magnetic polarity adjacent the oil filter exterior surface and a North magnetic polarity remote from the oil filter exterior surface. Each oil-filter magnet 55 is equidistant each adjacent oil-filter magnet as measured along the oil filter exterior surface.
An oil filter will capture metallic and impurity particles down to about 25 microns. However, particles less than 25 microns are not captured and affect engine performance. The oil monopole compression component sets 50 capture all metal particles, allowing the engine's oil to continue to flow free of metallic impurities for a longer period of time. This provides several benefits including lower engine maintenance expenses due to friction, micro-pitting, corrosion and wear.
Based on engine size, more monopole compression component sets improve the overall system monopole compression effect, e.g., larger engines would benefit from a greater number of fuel-line, fuel-filter, oil, and air-line monopole compression component sets. Three to five fuel-line monopole compression component sets and three to five air-line monopole compression component sets provide enhanced results due to the monopole time exposure effect. The first set of each should be places as close as possible to the engine.
Each of the monopole compression component sets shall have at least two components corresponding to two magnets, but benefit from having more magnets, e.g., three magnets. See Figure 4 which illustrates air-line monopole compression components 45 with three magnets/components per set. The fuel-line monopole compression component sets, the oil monopole compression component sets, and fuel-filter monopole compression component sets similarly benefit from three and more magnets per set, and would be arranged as illustrated. When there are three magnets (25, 33, 45, and 55) per set, the magnets are displaced 120 degrees from each other. When there are four magnets per set, the magnets are displaced 90 degrees from each other. All the magnets of the different magnet sets may be of the same type or may vary as to individual details, e.g., size, strength, and housing.
As illustrated by the drawing figures, including Figure 5, each magnet has i) a longest length(L) running along a length of the fluid line or fluid flow direction, ii) a width (W) running parallel the line diameter (D) (Figure 4) and the longest length (L), and iii) a height (H) perpendicular to the width (W). For a preferred embodiment, in the fuel-line monopole compression component sets, the external diameter of the fuel line is greater than the width of each fuel line magnet 25.
Figure 4 shows three magnets/components 45 symmetrically attached on an air intake's 43 exterior surface. A first of the three magnets/components is, as measured along the exterior surface, equidistant (at a distance'd') from a second and a third of the three magnets/components.
Reference is made to Figures 6-7 illustrating some monopole compression component housing embodiment details. A monopole compression component housing 70 encapsulates each magnet. The housing may be either a metal extrusion or a non-metal extrusion.
A monopole compression component housings include first and second generally vertical sides 72, each vertical side connected to each of a lip 71 and extending away, for fuel line monopole compression component sets, from the fluid line exterior surface and on one side of the encapsulated magnet. Further, there is a generally horizontal cover 73 spanning between each of the first and second vertical sides 72. A heat-resistant adhesive 81, intermediate magnet and cover 73 may adhere the magnet to the housing 72. The adhesive is not required in embodiments where the magnet is held by the housing itself.
In some embodiments, e.g., Figure 6, there are still further two air passages 74. Each air passage 74 is located intermediate one of the vertical sides and the encapsulated magnet running from a first end 75 of the encapsulated magnet to a second end 76 of the encapsulated magnet. In some embodiments, the housing includes a strap slot 77 adjacent an interface between each lip 71 and the connected vertical side 72. Alternatively, a strap slot 78 may be provided elsewhere on the housing, e.g., on the horizontal cover 73.
The monopole compression component sets each further comprise a strap 79 routed through each strap slot and securing all the magnets to the corresponding exterior surface. See Figures 2, 3, and 5. Further, heat resistant adhesive 82 may be provided between the magnet and the corresponding exterior surface, e.g., a fuel line. When adhesive secures the magnet to the exterior surface, the strap is a secondary fastener. See Figure 5.
See Figure 3. The embodiment illustrated shows the magnet with a first generally horizontal surface adjacent a fluid line exterior surface, a second generally horizontal surface remote from the exterior surface, and vertical connecting surfaces connecting edges of the first horizontal surface to edges of the second horizontal surface. A monopole compression component housing 70 encapsulates the magnet. The housing comprises i) a pair of lips 71 attached to the corresponding exterior surface, ii) first and second generally vertical sides 72, each vertical side connected to each of the lips 71 and extending away from the exterior surface and on one side of the encapsulated magnet, iii) a generally horizontal cover 73 spanning between each of the first and second vertical sides 72, and iv) a strap slot 77. Finally, a strap 79 (as called a strapping) is routed through each strap slot 77 to secure the monopole compression component to the exterior surface. As noted, the strap slot 78 may be elsewhere, but will route a strap 79.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, using the housing of Figure 7, the lips 71 of a first monopole compression component housing overlap the lips 71 of a second monopole compression component housing, when installed on a fuel line as per Figures 1 -2. See that there are two straps in Figure 2, each strap securing one end of the monopole compression components to the fuel line through slots 78.
Figure 1 also illustrates a water-line monopole compression component set 80 with magnets 85 on water line 83. The water-line magnets are set with the South magnetic polarity adjacent the water line. The configuration of the water-line monopole compression component sets are the same as with the other monopole compression component sets. The water-line monopole compression component sets 80 each comprises plural water-filter magnets 85 symmetrically attached on the water line's 83 exterior surface. All the water-line monopole compression components are attached to the exterior surface to have a South magnetic polarity adjacent the line exterior surface and a North magnetic polarity remote from the exterior surface. As with the other sets, each water-line monopole compression component is equidistant each adjacent water-line monopole compression component as measured along the water line exterior surface.
The water-line monopole compression components help prevent build-up of mineral deposits (scaling) in the radiator, water pump, heat exchanger, and in the hoses as the monopole compression components keep minerals in suspension and thus suppress scaling. Avoiding scaling, e.g., in a radiator, can prevent the scale from robbing the engine of horse power. Scaling reduces the thermal efficiency of the radiator which in turn increases the engine's temperature and lowers combustion efficiency. Thus, avoiding scale promotes combustion efficiency.
The invention improves fuel economy, reduces engine wear, and reduces emissions. Test show fuel increases in the 15% to 25% range. The system further increases engine power and torque by eliminating carbon and varnish deposits in the fuel system.
Performance testing was performed on a diesel engine retrofitted with the present invention. The test was performed by Clean Air Engineering of Palatine, IL and was designated at CleanAir Project NO. 9650. That test and the results are incorporated in the entirety by reference. Clean Air Engineering measured vehicle emissions and fuel economy on two diesel vehicles before and after the installation of the present invention. The vehicles were a Peterbilt with a Caterpillar 3126-E, 7.2L-210 HP at 2400RPM and a Ford F-350 Pickup with an International Harvester Power Stroke 6.0L-325 HP at 3300 RPM.
Measured vehicle emissions include NO, NO2, O2, THC, and Opacity. Each vehicle was driven on an urban road course consisting of both highway and non-highway mileage.
In these tests, the following parts of the invention's monopole compression system were installed:
5 pairs of fuel monopole compression components (10 total monopole compression components), on the fuel's supply line. 2 sets of air monopole compression components (each set comprising 3 monopole compression components), on the air intake tubing.
1 pair of monopole compression components (2 total monopole compression components), on the upper periphery of the oil filter.
1 pair of water monopole compression components (2 total monopole compression components), on the upper coolant hose
Scope of the Test
Each test vehicle was outfitted with state-of-the-art on-board emissions testing instrumentation and driven on an urban road course consisting of both highway and non- highway mileage. The course was completed three (3) separate times both before and after device installation. The average of the three (3) runs was used in determining overall emissions and fuel economy!
Schedule of Activities
The schedule of activities for the test program is shown in table 1 :
Table ! : Testing Schedule
Figure imgf000009_0001
Baseline Testing
The vehicles were inspected to ensure that they were operating as they normally do; nothing special was done to prepare them for these tests. The baseline testing of both vehicles was performed prior to the installation of the invention's Monopole Compression System and prior to any fuel and oil additives to be provided.
The oil and fuel additives are not part of the invention and was used only during the test as a fuel system cleanser accelerator, used only once at the initial point of testing. Such additives are useful if the engine has 50,000 miles of use. The improvements shown in the testing were not due to the additives.
Table 2-1 provides the baseline (pre-retrofit) cumulative fuel economy and emissions results for the IH Power Stroke in terms of concentration. Data gathered from the testing of the Power Stroke - 6.0L contains emissions numbers solely as a concentration. This is a light-duty diesel and does not have the vehicle interface to connect to the SEMTECH-D. Results are separated into highway-specific average, and off highway average and a cumulative overall average. The results for CO are shown in both a percent and a ppm basis.

The test program used many procedures outlined in the EPA Proposed Manufacturer- Run, In-Use Not-To-Exceed (NTE) Testing Program for On-Highway, Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles and Engines. Although this proposed program is being considered for other purposes, it incorporates some of the best On-Board Sampling and In-Use Testing procedures available.
Gaseous Emissions
CleanAir Engine Services utilizes the SEMTECH-D, manufactured by Sensors, Inc. for in-use vehicle testing on heavy duty diesel powered vehicles. The SEMTECH-D is a five-in-one gas analyzer that measures total hydrocarbons (THC), carbon monoxides (CO), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxides of nitrogen (NO & NO2).
A heated flame ionization detector (FID) is used for the THC detection; A non- dispersive infrared-NDIR detector is used for both CO and CO2 measurements; and a non- dispersive ultraviolet-NDUV detector is used for NO and NO2 measurements. In addition to the gas analyzers, the SEMTECH-D has a vehicle interface cable, which allows it to download data from the electronic control module-ECM of the vehicle. The unit also has a probe that records ambient conditions such as relative humidity and temperature, and a GPS unit for vehicle speed, latitude, longitude and altitude. The SEMTECH-D logs all this data second-by-second throughout the test runs, and then uses internal calculations to output fuel specific emissions and other information like fuel economy. SEMTECH-D uses laboratory grade instrumentation and is condensed into a small package ideally suited to perform on-road in-use testing.
SEMTECH-D Analyzer Resolutions
Scale Resolution
Total Hydrocarbons 0-10,000 ppm 1.0 ppm
Carbon Monoxide 0-2,000 ppm 1.0 ppm
Carbon Dioxide 0-20% 0.01%
Nitric Oxide- (NO) 0-5000 ppm 1.0 ppm
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) 0-500 ppm 1.0 ppm
Opacity Measurements
The wager Model 7500 Smoke Meter was used to measure opacity. This unit was in compliance with SAE-J 1667 and was programmed to perform other types of opacity testing. Used with the Wager Partial Flow Sensor Head, it provides fast, accurate readings even in adverse weather conditions.
Other testing was performed on an 8 cylinder all wheel drive SUV test vehicle. In this test, the following parts of the invention's monopole compression system were installed:
3 pairs of fuel monopole compression components (6 total monopole compression components), on the fuel's supply line.
2 sets of air monopole compression components (each set comprising 3 monopole compression components), on the air intake tubing.
1 pair of monopole compression components (2 total monopole compression components), on the upper periphery of the oil filter.
1 pair of water monopole compression components (2 total monopole compression components), on the upper coolant hose In city driving, prior to being retrofitted with the present invention's monopole compression system, the SUV test vehicle was driven 1,837.53 and consumed 154.14 gallons for a fuel economy of 11.92 MPG. After retrofitting with the invention, the test vehicle was driven another 1,869.9 miles and consumed 144.93 gallons for a fuel economy of 15.24 MPG. In highway driving with cruise control, prior to being retrofitted with the invention, driving the test vehicle 2,511.98 miles consumed 157.25 gallons for a fuel economy of 15.97 MPG. After being retrofitted with the invention, driving the test vehicle 2,634.55 consumed 136.66 gallons for a fuel economy of 19.28 MPG.
