DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
Dispositivo para mejorar el rendimiento de un motor de combustión interna por inyección.Device to improve the performance of an internal combustion engine by injection.
Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention
La presente invención, como su propio titulo indica, se refiere a un dispositivo que, acoplado a la entrada de aire del colector de admisión de un motor de combustión interna por inyección electrónica o no, permite mejorar su rendimiento y reducir el consumo, a base de aumentar la concentración de oxigeno que forma parte del aire que entra en el motor.The present invention, as its own title indicates, refers to a device that, coupled to the air inlet of the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine by electronic injection or not, allows to improve its performance and reduce consumption, based to increase the concentration of oxygen that is part of the air that enters the engine.
Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention
Como es bien sabido, una molécula de ozono está compuesta por tres átomos de oxigeno, en vez de los dos que componen una molécula normal, por esta causa el ozono tiene aún más alto poder oxidante que el oxigeno y por tanto en su presencia se consigue una excelente combustión .As is well known, an ozone molecule is composed of three oxygen atoms, instead of the two that make up a normal molecule, for this reason ozone has even higher oxidant power than oxygen and therefore in its presence it is achieved Excellent combustion
El ozono se ha empleado para el tratamiento de aguas y del aire, como desodorizante y desinfectante, ya que por su alto poder oxidante elimina bacterias y otros microorganismos. También se ha empleado en medicina por sus propiedades anti-inflamatorias y antisépticas.Ozone has been used for the treatment of water and air, as a deodorizer and disinfectant, since its high oxidizing power eliminates bacteria and other microorganisms. It has also been used in medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.
En la industria del automóvil y con esta finalidad de mejorar o aumentar el rendimiento del motor se tiene conocimiento del documento ES-207594 de SABETAY, en el se describe un método para preparar una mezcla de combustible y aire enriquecido con ozono en el colector de admisión, donde éste es, inmediatamente, catalizado a oxigeno por efecto de la temperatura generado por el calentador y por el catalizador ubicados inmediatamente después del ionizador. Esta catálisis generada hace que el ozono se convierta en 02 por efecto de la temperatura, por lo que realmente la mezcla que se genera es más bien 02 + aire + combustible. Efectivamente, el ozono, por efecto de la temperatura y a partir de 60° C se cataliza y se convierte en oxigeno biatómico (02); teniendo en cuenta que en la patente en cuestión se indica que el calentador alcanza una temperatura de unos 80° C y el catalizador unos 180° C, únicamente podrian llegar pequeñas cantidades de Ozono a los cilindros cuando el motor se encuentre a altas revoluciones, ya que en este momento el aire pasaria con gran velocidad por el colector de admisión.In the automotive industry and with this purpose of improving or increasing the performance of the engine, we have knowledge of SABETAY document ES-207594, which describes a method to prepare a mixture of fuel and ozone-enriched air in the intake manifold , where this is, immediately, catalyzed to oxygen by effect of the temperature generated by the heater and by the catalyst located immediately after the ionizer. This generated catalysis causes ozone to become 02 due to the effect of temperature, So really the mixture that is generated is rather 02 + air + fuel. Indeed, ozone, due to the effect of temperature and from 60 ° C, is catalyzed and converted into biatomic oxygen (02); taking into account that the patent in question indicates that the heater reaches a temperature of about 80 ° C and the catalyst about 180 ° C, only small amounts of ozone could reach the cylinders when the engine is at high revolutions, since that at this time the air would pass with great speed through the intake manifold.
Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention
El dispositivo de la invención consigue mejorar el rendimiento del motor a base de incrementar la cantidad de oxigeno presente en el aire que entra a través del colector de admisión en el motor, particularmente en un motor de inyección electrónica. Asi pues, este dispositivo se instala entre el filtro de aire y el colector de admisión del motor del vehículo y actúa, como se ha indicado, aumentando el tanto por ciento de oxigeno existente en el aire que entra en el motor.The device of the invention manages to improve the performance of the engine by increasing the amount of oxygen present in the air that enters through the intake manifold in the engine, particularly in an electronic injection engine. Thus, this device is installed between the air filter and the intake manifold of the vehicle's engine and acts, as indicated, increasing the percentage of oxygen in the air entering the engine.
Este dispositivo está formado por tres elementos: a) Un reactor generador de ozono, que tiene por misión ionizar el aire propiciando la formación de moléculas de ozono. b) Un mezclador estático, que se sitúa a continuación de dicho reactor generador de ozono, que tiene por misión homogenizar la mezcla de aire y ozono producido por dicho reactor. c) Una unidad de control electrónico, que controla el funcionamiento del reactor generador de ozono, que recibe diversos parámetros de sensores que primordialmente miden la temperatura del motor, en base a la cual se determina el funcionamiento del reactor generador de ozono. A partir de unos 700C el ozono se reconvierte en oxígeno, por esta causa se inhibe el funcionamiento del generador hasta que el motor alcanza esta temperatura, con el objetivo de evitar explosiones esporádicas del motor durante el arranque o en cuando su régimen de funcionamiento es en frío, reservándose este aporte de rendimiento para cuando ya ha alcanzado un régimen de funcionamiento estable.This device consists of three elements: a) An ozone generator reactor, whose mission is to ionize the air, promoting the formation of ozone molecules. b) A static mixer, which is located after said ozone generator reactor, whose mission is to homogenize the mixture of air and ozone produced by said reactor. c) An electronic control unit, which controls the operation of the ozone generator reactor, which receives various sensor parameters that primarily measure the engine temperature, based on which the operation of the ozone generator reactor is determined. From about 70 0 C Ozone is converted into oxygen, for this reason the generator's operation is inhibited until the engine reaches this temperature, in order to avoid sporadic explosions of the engine during starting or when its operating regime is cold, reserving this contribution of performance for when it has already reached a stable operating regime.
Este dispositivo se puede montar en serie con el conducto de admisión de aire, es decir interpuesto entre el filtro de aire y el colector de admisión del motor. En este caso el reactor generador de ozono se sitúa a continuación del filtro de aire, situado a la entrada de aire de cualquier motor y a continuación de éste, el mezclador estático en el que, por efecto de la temperatura existente en esta zona anexa al motor, se cataliza nuevamente el ozono y se convierten en moléculas de oxígeno, aumentando el nivel de oxígeno existente en el aire que entra en el motor.This device can be mounted in series with the air intake duct, that is interposed between the air filter and the intake manifold of the engine. In this case, the ozone generator reactor is located next to the air filter, located at the air inlet of any engine and following it, the static mixer in which, due to the temperature in this area attached to the engine , ozone is catalyzed again and converted into oxygen molecules, increasing the level of oxygen in the air entering the engine.
En esta solución, la unidad de control electrónica recibe también un parámetro referido al tanto por ciento de oxígeno existente por volumen en el aire que entra en el motor, a fin de forzar o disminuir la producción de ozono por el reactor generador, cifra que es facilitada por una sensor situado en la zona del mezclador estático; y de un caudalímetro que mide el volumen de aire que entra a través del filtro de aire, un cuenta-revoluciones del motor y/o la señal generada por el pedal del acelerador. Todos estos parámetros permiten mantener una estabilidad en la generación de ozono y por tanto el nivel de oxígeno que entra en el motor, en cualquier régimen de funcionamiento del mismo.In this solution, the electronic control unit also receives a parameter referred to the percentage of oxygen existing by volume in the air entering the engine, in order to force or decrease the production of ozone by the generator reactor, a figure that is provided by a sensor located in the static mixer zone; and of a flowmeter that measures the volume of air entering through the air filter, an engine revolution counter and / or the signal generated by the accelerator pedal. All these parameters allow to maintain a stability in the generation of ozone and therefore the level of oxygen that enters the engine, in any operating regime of the same.
Este dispositivo también se puede montar en paralelo al conducto de admisión de aire. En este caso sólo es necesario un sensor de temperatura, que cuando el motor alcance los 70° C - 75° C ponga en funcionamiento el sistema de ionización, siempre que la llave de contacto del vehículo esté en posición de arrancado. El reactor-generador de ozono no va integrado en el conducto de admisión, si no que va montado en una caja estanca en el compartimento del motor ó en otro espacio del vehículo destinado a ello. La toma de aire se efectúa por un tubo insertado a continuación del filtro de aire y el aire enriquecido con ozono se difunde en el propio colector de admisión donde se cataliza por efecto de la temperatura existente el mismo.This device can also be mounted in parallel to the air intake duct. In this case only a temperature sensor is necessary, which when the engine reach 70 ° C - 75 ° C start the ionization system, provided that the vehicle's ignition key is in the starting position. The ozone reactor-generator is not integrated in the intake duct, but is mounted in a sealed box in the engine compartment or in another space of the vehicle intended for it. The air intake is carried out by a tube inserted next to the air filter and the ozone-enriched air is diffused in the intake manifold itself where it is catalyzed by the existing temperature.
En este tipo de instalación en paralelo el ozono es introducido en el colector de admisión con la ayuda de un pequeño compresor insonorizado . Para generar ozono se parte del aire filtrado del motor, desde donde se conduce, mediante un pequeño tubo, gracias a la aspiración generada por dicho compresor. Este compresor impulsa el aire hasta el reactor de ozono, conectando la salida de éste, mediante un pequeño tubo, nuevamente al colector de admisión del motor, por delante del punto de aspiración. En el interior del colector de admisión del motor, una vez introducido el tubo de impulsión de ozono, en el extremo de este tubo se colocará un tapón, y en donde se realizan varios taladros de pequeño diámetro en el trozo de tubo que hay dentro del colector de admisión, con el objeto de que éste actué como un difusor del ozono dentro de dicho colector, haciendo que la mezcla aire ozono sea homogénea, evitando otro elemento que inicialmente integramos el mezclador estático.In this type of parallel installation, ozone is introduced into the intake manifold with the help of a small soundproof compressor. To generate ozone, the filtered air of the engine is started, from where it is driven, by means of a small tube, thanks to the suction generated by said compressor. This compressor drives the air to the ozone reactor, connecting its outlet, through a small tube, back to the intake manifold of the engine, ahead of the suction point. Inside the engine intake manifold, once the ozone drive tube is inserted, a plug will be placed at the end of this tube, and where several small diameter holes are made in the piece of tube inside the tube intake manifold, in order that it acts as an ozone diffuser within said collector, making the ozone air mixture homogeneous, avoiding another element that initially integrated the static mixer.
Como ventajas de esta alternativa es que la modificación sobre un colector de admisión de cualquier vehículo solo se limita a efectuar dos taladros en el mismo, uno para la aspiración de aire filtrado hacia el reactor de ozono, y otro para la impulsión de ozono desde el reactor. El ozono es generado en el compartimento del motor, o en otro espacio destinado a ello, en una caja estanca, con la ventaja que ello supone, sobre todo de cara a tareas de revisión y mantenimiento del sistema de ionización; otra gran ventaja es que se simplifica, en gran medida, la gestión del sistema electrónico de control / potencia que conecta el reactor de ozono, minimizando costes de producción sobre el sistema, con las ventajas comerciales que ello supone.As advantages of this alternative is that the modification on an intake manifold of any vehicle is only limited to making two holes in it, one for the aspiration of filtered air into the ozone reactor, and another for the ozone drive from the reactor. Ozone is generated in the compartment of the engine, or in another space destined for it, in a watertight box, with the advantage that this supposes, especially in view of tasks of revision and maintenance of the ionization system; Another great advantage is that the management of the electronic control / power system that connects the ozone reactor is greatly simplified, minimizing production costs on the system, with the commercial advantages that this entails.
En esta alternativa el vehículo ioniza el aire filtrado y se autoregula en el sentido de que a mayor revoluciones del motor, mayor cantidad de aire aspirado, por lo que no se producen "tirones" en la marcha del vehículo .In this alternative, the vehicle ionizes the filtered air and regulates itself in the sense that the higher the engine revolutions, the greater the amount of air drawn, so that there are no "jerks" in the vehicle's running.
El empleo de una mezcla de aire rico en oxigeno en la combustión de hidrocarburos, permite reducir sensiblemente el consumo de combustible y por tanto aumentar el rendimiento del motor. Al existir una combustión idónea no se generan residuos o subproductos, que además de ser contaminantes afectan negativamente al funcionamiento del motor por lo que estará sujeto a un menor mantenimiento. No existe un aporte de ozono al motor, si no de oxigeno extra, motivo por el cual este elemento no contribuye a deteriorar las piezas del motor, únicamente mejora su rendimiento. Este sistema de enriquecimiento del aire con ozono es aplicable no solo a motores de combustión interna, si no también a quemadores industriales, de gas natural, butano, propano, gas-oil, parafinas, queroseno, etc.The use of a mixture of oxygen-rich air in the combustion of hydrocarbons makes it possible to significantly reduce fuel consumption and therefore increase engine performance. When there is a suitable combustion, no waste or by-products are generated, which in addition to being pollutants adversely affect the operation of the engine so it will be subject to less maintenance. There is no contribution of ozone to the engine, if not extra oxygen, which is why this element does not contribute to deteriorating the engine parts, it only improves its performance. This ozone air enrichment system is applicable not only to internal combustion engines, but also to industrial burners, natural gas, butane, propane, gas-oil, paraffins, kerosene, etc.

Para complementar la descripción que se está realizando y con objeto de facilitar la comprensión de las características de la invención, se acompaña a la presente memoria descriptiva un juego de dibujos en los que, con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo, se ha representado lo siguiente: La figura 1 una vista esquemática del dispositivo de la invención montado en serie interpuesto en el conducto de entrada de aire en el motor, entre el filtro y el colector de admisión. La figura 2 muestra una vista esquemática del dispositivo en un montaje en paralelo al conducto de entrada de aire al motor.To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented: 1 shows a schematic view of the device of the invention mounted in series interposed in the air inlet duct in the engine, between the filter and the intake manifold. Figure 2 shows a schematic view of the device in a parallel assembly to the air inlet duct to the engine.
Realización preferente de la invención Haciendo referencia en primer lugar a la figura 1 se observa el dispositivo de la invención instalado en serie entre el filtro de aire del motor (2) y el colector del motor (1), comprendiendo dos elementos interpuestos en este conducto: un reactor (3) generador de ozono, que está comandado por una unidad de control electrónico (7), y un mezclador estático (4) .PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Referring first to FIG. 1, the device of the invention is installed in series between the engine air filter (2) and the engine manifold (1), comprising two elements interposed in this duct : an ozone generator reactor (3), which is commanded by an electronic control unit (7), and a static mixer (4).
El reactor (3) , cuando está activado, produce ozono en una cavidad dotada de un revestimiento especial (8) que impida la oxidación del conducto por el alto poder oxidante de este gas. El ozono, mezclado con el aire es conducido por la propia aspiración del motor (1) hacia el colector de admisión. La unidad de control recibe señal de un sensor (6) que mide la temperatura del motor (1), que inhibe el funcionamiento de dicho reactor (3) mientras el motor no alcance los 70° C. para evitar este aporte de oxigeno extra mientras el motor no alcance esta temperatura .The reactor (3), when activated, produces ozone in a cavity equipped with a special coating (8) that prevents oxidation of the duct due to the high oxidizing power of this gas. The ozone, mixed with the air is driven by the motor's own aspiration (1) towards the intake manifold. The control unit receives a signal from a sensor (6) that measures the temperature of the engine (1), which inhibits the operation of said reactor (3) while the engine does not reach 70 ° C. to avoid this extra oxygen supply while The engine does not reach this temperature.
A continuación del reactor (3) y entre éste y el colector de admisión del motor (1) se interpone un mezclador estático (4) en el que se homogeniza la mezcla de aire y ozono. El ozono se cataliza nuevamente en moléculas de oxigeno por efecto de la temperatura existente en esta zona anexa al motor, de forma que aumenta el nivel de oxigeno existente en el aire que entra en el motor de forma controlada. La sonda (5) situada en esta zona permite medir esta concentración y enviar la medición a la unidad de control (7) para que active o desactive el reactor (3) en su producción de ozono, de acuerdo con un programa o cálculo preestablecido . Opcionalmente se coloca también un caudalimetro anexo al filtro de entrada (2) que mide la cantidad de aire que entra en el motor. Asi mismo se colocará un cuenta-revoluciones en el motor, o se proveerá una conexión con el existente en la mayoria de los vehículos. También podria utilizarse la señal generada por el pedal del acelerador. Estos parámetros, conjuntamente con el sensor (5) que mide la concentración de oxigeno en el aire que entra en el motor, permiten medir los parámetros que permiten controlar el funcionamiento de el reactor (3) productor de ozono, a fin de mantener una estabilidad en la generación de este gas y por tanto del nivel de oxigeno que entra en el motor, en cualquier régimen de funcionamiento del motor.Following the reactor (3) and between it and the engine intake manifold (1) a static mixer (4) is interposed in which the mixture of air and ozone is homogenized. Ozone is catalyzed again in oxygen molecules as a result of the temperature existing in this area attached to the engine, so that the level of oxygen in the air entering the engine increases in a controlled manner. The probe (5) located in this area allows measuring this concentration and send the measurement to the control unit (7) to activate or deactivate the reactor (3) in its ozone production, according to a pre-established program or calculation. Optionally, a flowmeter attached to the inlet filter (2) that measures the amount of air entering the engine is also placed. Likewise, a revolution counter will be placed in the engine, or a connection will be provided with the existing one in most vehicles. The signal generated by the accelerator pedal could also be used. These parameters, together with the sensor (5) that measures the concentration of oxygen in the air entering the engine, allow to measure the parameters that allow to control the operation of the ozone-producing reactor (3), in order to maintain stability in the generation of this gas and therefore the level of oxygen that enters the engine, in any engine operating regime.
Haciendo referencia ahora a la figura 2, se observa en ella un dispositivo montado en paralelo al conducto de entrada de aire en el motor. El aire que entra en el generador de ozona (3) se toma en este caso por medio de un conducto (9) abierto a continuación del filtro de aireReferring now to Figure 2, a device mounted parallel to the air inlet duct in the engine is observed. The air entering the ozone generator (3) is taken in this case by means of a conduit (9) opened after the air filter
(2) . El aire es impulsado en el reactor (3) a través de un compresor (10), y de éste a través de un tubo (11) que está introducido en el colector de admisión del motor (1), por delante del punto de aspiración. Este tubo (11) actúa como mezclador del ozono y actúa directamente en el colector (1); para ello, dicho tubo de entrada de aire (11) presenta un tapón extremo (12) y una serie de taladros (13) practicados esta zona del tubo situada dentro del colector de admisión (1), a través de los que sale el gas con el objeto de que se produzca la difusión del ozono dentro de dicho colector, haciendo que la mezcla aire ozono sea lo más homogénea posible. En esta realización, con un montaje en paralelo, también está presente la unidad de control (7) que gobierna el encendido del generador (3) , básicamente cuando la temperatura en el colector del motor alcanza los 70° C, cuestión que detecta el sensor (6) y el motor está encendido.(2) . Air is propelled into the reactor (3) through a compressor (10), and from it through a tube (11) that is introduced into the intake manifold of the engine (1), ahead of the suction point .
