Description
MAGNETIC DEVICE FOR TREATING LIQUID FUEL
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a magnetic device for treating liquid fuel. BACKGROUND ART
The problems associated with pollutant emissions derived from combustion exhaust fumes, such as those derived from combustion in internal combustion engines of cars or boilers, have been keenly felt for some time. These problems have been dealt with by either altering the actual nature of the fuels used or by installing devices that reduce the pollutant content downstream of the combustion chamber. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The purpose of the present invention is to produce a device for treating liquid fuel that is capable of substantially reducing the pollutants derived from combustion. The present invention relates to a device for treating liquid fuel, characterized in that it comprises at least a pair of permanent magnets having a same polarity and defining between them a liquid fuel treatment area arranged upstream of a combustion chamber.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In order to better understand the present invention, a non- limiting preferred embodiment thereof will now be described by way of example with the help of the figures in the accompanying drawing, in which: figure 1 is a longitudinal cross-section of the device according to a preferred embodiment; and figure 2 is a cross-section of the device in figure 1. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In figures 1 and 2 number 1 indicates the device as a whole according to the present invention.
The device 1 comprises a duct 2 made of aluminium and having a substantially cylindrical outer surface 3 and an axial through aperture 4 that is rectangular in shape. The outer surface 3 comprises two mating end portions 5, on each of which is housed a respective O- ring 6. The end portions 6 are suitable to mate with additional components of the liquid fuel supply line. The device 1 comprises two magnets 7 having the same SOUTH polarity and housed inside the aperture 4. In particular, the two magnets 7 are 8 cm long, are arranged at a distance of 5 mm from one another and lean against two respective opposite walls 4a. In this way an
8 cm-long treatment area T is defined between the two magnets 7 such as to alter the molecular structure of the liquid fuel passing through it as described below.
The magnets 7 are held in place without the use of any anchoring operations, as it is the actual repulsive force between them that forces the two magnets 7 against the walls 4a.
The two magnets 7 are made of neodymium, they have been induced by a magnetic flux of 18000 gauss and have a heat resistance of 15O0C.
With the above characteristics, the fuel molecules are exposed to a magnetic field such as to alter the structure of said molecules .
In order for the alterations to the molecular structure to produce the desired advantages, the treatment area T must be arranged at a maximum distance of 80 cm from the relative combustion chamber, which is of a known type and is not illustrated here for the sake of simplicity. EXAMPLES
Three examples of application of the device according to the invention are included below to illustrate the advantages thereof.
The data shown in the examples were obtained using
a Tecnotest 488 exhaust gas analyzer, type approval No.
OMO004IESTO01c, and a Corghi smoke meter, mod. op600,
type approval No. OMO0076b. Engine rpm were monitored
visually on a speedometer by an authorized technician.
Example 1
The device according to the present invention was
fitted to a TATA boiler using natural gas as fuel. The
exhaust gas emissions were analyzed before installing
the device, at the time of installing the device, and 30
minutes and one day after installing the device. In
particular, Table I shows the parameters for exhaust gas
temperature, percentage of CO2, percentage of O2 and the
presence of hydrocarbons (HC) expressed in ppm.
TABLE I
Gas T CO2 (%) HC (ppm) O2 (%)
Without device 129.2 4.8 43 12.3
Just installed 127.3 4.8 41 12.4
After 30 minutes 103.3 2.1 50 17.1
After one day 109.6 2.0 38 17.4
As shown in Table I, the use of the device
according to the present invention led to a 58.3%
reduction in CO2 emissions and an 11.26% reduction in
hydrocarbon emissions while the fall in temperature and
increase in O2 emissions are proof of improved combustion of the natural gas .
Example 2
The device according to the present invention was
fitted to a Fiat Bravo GT 1.8 car manufactured in 1996
that had done 110,000 km.
The exhaust gas emissions were analyzed at 1000
engine rpm before installing the device, at the time of
installing the device, and after travelling 20 km with
the device installed. In particular, Table II shows the
parameters for the Lambda value, percentage of CO2,
percentage of O2 and the presence of hydrocarbons (HC)
expressed in ppm. TABLE II λ CO2 (%) HC (ppm) O2 (%)
Without device 1014 15. 6 79 0. '41
Just installed 1015 15. 4 77 0. 42
After 20 km 1016 15. 4 50 0. 41
As shown in Table II, the use of the device
according to the present invention led to a 36.70%
reduction in the level of hydrocarbon pollutants.
Example 3
The device according to the present invention was
fitted to a Fiat Scudo 1.9 diesel van manufactured in 1997.
The exhaust gas emissions were analyzed at engine
rpm of between 1000 and 2000 before installing the
device and after travelling 20 km with the device
installed. In particular, Table III shows the parameter
for average smoke opacity expressed in m-1.
TABLE III
As shown in Table III, the use of the device according to the present invention led to an 81.16% reduction in the pollutant content. From the above examples it is apparent that with the device according to the present invention the quality of the exhaust gas derived from combustion can be significantly improved. Moreover, the device is simple and cheap to produce and does not require the use of complex technology, which would undermine its cost- effectiveness . In that respect, it is important to note that no anchoring devices are used to hold the magnets 7 in place.
