Abstract

A method and device for dissociating water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen gases (hydrofuel)to be used as fuel and fuel enhancer to save fuel for boilers. The method utilizes the waste heat form a boiler to pre-heat pressurized water in controlled flow through a stainless economizer tubing that is coiled around the inner wall of the chimney. The forward end of said coil is connected in fluid communication with a straight stainless super heater tubing that passes concentrically through the larger outer fire tube, make a U-turn toward the inner fire tube of said boiler, exit at the forward open end of said fire tube, connect in fluid communication with the coiled expansion tubing in the combustion chamber where the superheated steam expands and dissociates into hydrogen and oxygen gases (hydrofuel) between 710°F and 2500°F. The dissociated gases are released at the outlet port of said expansion piping that branches into smaller pipes with nozzles that are directed around the base of the burning fossil fuel in order to burn, torch and enhance complete combustion, save on fossil fuel and eliminate carbon emission.

Description

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISSOCIATING WATER FOR BOILERS

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a fuel saving method and device and more particularly to a method and device for dissociating water between 710°F and 2500°F into its constituent hydrogen gases (hydrofuel) to be used as supplemental fuel and fuel enhancer for boilers. Hydrofuel burns 7-times faster than fossil fuel and release high amount of heat upon combustion. It therefore torches and causes complete combustion, save fuel, near zero carbon emission to prevent global warming, save on maintenance and down-time losses, cleanse the combustion and exhaust system of carbon and soot and release oxygen to the environment.

The method consists of passing pressurized water in controlled flow through a coiled stainless economizer tubing around the inner wall of the chimney of said boiler in order to recover waste heat to preheat the water. The forward end of the coil is connected in fluid communication with the straight stainless super heater tubing that passes concentrically through the larger outer fire tube of the boiler, makes a U-turn and inters the larger straight inner fire tube of the boiler to super heat and exit at the open end of said fire tube and connects in fluid communication with a larger coiled stainless dissociation pipe in the combustion chamber of the boiler to discharge the super heated steam in order to dissociate into hydrogen and oxygen gases (hydrofuel) between 710°F and 2500°F therein. The dissociated hydrogen and oxygen gases are released at the outlet port of the coiled dissociation tube and directed around the base of the burning fuel in the combustion chamber of said boiler in order to burn, torch and enhance combustion of the fossil fuel.

Since hydrogen burns 7-times faster than fossil and fuel and release high amount of heat energy upon combustion, it therefore causes the fuel to burn completely, that results in saving fuel, near zero carbon emission to prevent global warming, cleanse the combustion chamber and exhaust system to save on maintenance expenses, down-time losses and release oxygen to the environment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In general, most fuel-saving devices are designed only for a particular kind of fuel, and some anti-pollution devices are suited only for a particular kind of fuel. Accordingly, it is to the provision of a method and device for dissociating water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen gases between 710°F and 2500°F to be used as supplemental fuel and fuel enhancer for boilers using any kind of fuel in order to burn, torch and cause complete combustion of the fossil fuel that results in saving fuel, near zero carbon emission to prevent global warming, cleanse the combustion and exhaust system to save on maintenance expenses, down-time losses and release oxygen to make the environment have healthy air.

OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of this invention is to save fuel by utilizing dissociated hydrogen and oxygen gases (hydrofuel) from water as supplemental fuel and as fuel enhancer for any type of boiler, using any kind of fuel.

Another objective of this invention is to use dissociated hydrogen and oxygen gases from water between 710°F and 2500°F as fuel enhancer for boilers in order to cause complete combustion of the fuel to prevent carbon emission, the main cause of global warming.

Still another objective is to save on maintenance expenses and down-time losses resulting from a clean combustion and exhaust systems due to complete fuel combustion.

Yet, another objective is to release oxygen from the chimney to make the environment healthy, prevent respiratory diseases and save on medical and hospitalization expenses.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 is the right side cut-away view of the method and device for dissociating water into its constituents hydrogen and oxygen gases between 710°F and 2500°F for use as fuel supplemental and fuel enhancer for boiler is shown to include a high pressure water reservoir tank 1, drain plug 2, water supply pipe chamber of said boiler in order to dissociate into oxygen and hydrogen gases (hydrofuel), between 710°F and 2500°F. The dissociated hydrogen and oxygen gases are then released at the outlet port of said coiled pipe that branches into at least a pair of smaller pipes that are tapered and provided with heat resistant nozzle outlets, one directed to the left and the other to the right of the base of the burning fuel 23a that is released from the fuel burner 23 in the combustion chamber 22 of the said boiler in order to torch the fossil fuel. Since hydrogen and oxygen gases (hydrofuel) burns 7-times faster that fossil fuels and release high amount of heat energy upon combustion, it therefore causes the fuel to burn almost completely that results in saving fuel, near zero carbon emission to prevent global warming, cleanses the inner linings of the combustion chamber, the inner linings of the fire tubes and the exhaust system that result in saving on maintenance expenses and down-time losses. Oxygen is released from the chimney, in order to provide the environment with clan and healthy air.

It should be understood that the just described embodiment merely illustrated the principle of the invention in one particular form. Many modifications, additions, deletions, may of course be made hereto without departure from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
