Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of liquid additives for use in fuel systems.
  • carboxylates are a particular concern with Modular Common Rail Systems (MCRS) related fuel systems and can cause premature filter plugging, injector sticking, and pump or engine failures.
  • MCRS Modular Common Rail Systems
  • the cost of repairs due to the carboxylates can be very high, and the frequency and severity of such repairs are likely to worsen as more MCRS-related fuel systems are used.
  • soap filters can be introduced on or near the engine.
  • additional filters would be needed in addition to the existing stage 1 and 2 filters.
  • adding more filters often will not be feasible or practical.
  • a soap filter could be introduced on the bulk fuel system, but there is no way to guarantee that the soap filter will actually be installed or utilized at the assembly or installation sites.
  • additives may be introduced into the fuel system to maintain the integrity of the fuel system. For example, it was found that in an example fleet of approximately 120 trucks, there were 30 injector failures over the span of a few months. When additives were introduced into the bulk tanks of the fleet, the fleet stopped having injector failures within a few months. However, once the additives were no longer introduced, the fleet had 42 injector or pump failures over a period of four to six months.
  • Additives can be manually added or dispensed by the customer, technician, fueling station personnel, or operator.
  • the system for adding additives can be complex and inaccurate, as the operator also has to manually estimate the volume of the fuel and lube, measure the additive in attempt to obtain the correct ratio between additive and fuel, and mix the additive directly into the fuel tank. It also can be difficult to manage the amount of additive required for bulk tanks for multiple engines of varying technology levels. Additionally, manually adding the additive may create an environmental concern since the operator may accidently spill additive on the ground while the operator is adding the additive into the fuel supply.
  • the operator may also accidentally add the incorrect additive to the fuel supply. This mistake may occur in particular when multiple different additives are needed. Since the ratio of additive to fuel depends on which additive is used, the engine may have an incorrect ratio of additive to fuel. For example, 1 part additive to 5000 parts fuel is needed for a diesel fuel and injector cleaner (DFIC), while 1 part additive and 1000 parts fuel is needed for other additives. Use of the incorrect additive may also cause the tank vent inlet to become plugged, which may restrict the engine fuel supply and cause the additive to become semisolid, requiring a heater or coolant lines.
  • DFIC diesel fuel and injector cleaner
  • the fuel supply could be changed to eliminate the carboxylate concerns.
  • this change is not always possible in particular regions of the world where there are limited fuel supply choices available.
  • a pump and electric motor control could be used to "dose" the fuel system over time.
  • such a system does not ensure that the correct ratio between fuel and additives.
  • an additive system that includes a holding tank containing a fluid and a dispensing tank containing an additive.
  • the holding tank and the dispensing tank are fluidly connected such that a pressure differential is created between the holding tank and the dispensing tank when the fluid is removed from the holding tank.
  • the pressure differential draws a premeasured amount of the additive from the dispensing tank into the fluid in the holding tank.
  • Other embodiments provide for a method of dosing and dispensing additive into a holding tank of an engine.
  • the method includes, during operation of the engine, removing at least a portion of the fluid from the holding tank, creating a pressure differential between the holding tank and a dispensing tank, and drawing a premeasured amount of the additive from the dispensing tank and into the holding tank.

Furthermore, the present additive system and method are reliable and simple and ensure that the correct amount of additive is added to the fluid (fuel, for example).

  • the present additive system and method may be used with haul trucks, excavators, shovels, or front loaders.

Accordingly, the additive 32 is completely emptied from dispensing tank 30 and the inner piping 48 ensures that a full dose of additive 32 has been added or provided into the fluid 52 in the holding tank 50.
  • the dispensing tank 30 may have a tank vent filter 34 and an air vent inlet 31 to allow atmospheric air 22 to enter into the dispensing tank 30 through the air vent inlet 31 as the additive 32 moves out from the dispensing tank 30 (through the additive outlet 46) and into the holding tank 50.

  • soap-removing additives 32 may be used in order to remove carboxylates.
  • the amount or dose of additive 32 that is added into the fluid 52 in the holding tank 50 depends on the ratio between the size of the holding tank 50 and the size of the dispensing tank 30. Accordingly, the size of the dispensing tank 30 is based on the size of the holding tank 50 and the desired ratio of additive 32 to fluid 52 in order to provide the correct ratio of additive 32 to fluid 52. For example only, a haul truck may require a ratio of 1 : 5000 of additive 32 to fluid 52.
  • the holding tank 50 could be 1000 gallons and the dispensing tank 30 would accordingly be 0.2 gallons in order to supply the correct ratio of additive 32 to fluid 52.

  • the dispensing tank 30 may be mounted to or on the side of the holding tank 50 such that the dispensing tank 30 is lower than the tank vent inlet 62 of the holding tank 50. This configuration may make refilling easier on a haul truck, for example.
  • the engine can be started (110), which starts to burn the fluid 52 (112) and reduces the fluid level 54 of the fluid 52 within the holding tank 50 (114).
  • the fluid level 54 within the holding tank 50 decreases (e.g., as the volume of fluid 52 decreases)
  • a pressure differential between the holding tank 50 and the dispensing tank 30 is created (116), which results in or creates a suction or vacuum at the interface (e.g., the tank vent inlet 62 of the holding tank 50) between the holding tank 50 and the dispensing tank 30 (assuming the check valve 68 of the breather vent outlet 66 is functioning properly).
  • This pressure differential (and the resulting suction or vacuum) between the holding tank 50 and the dispensing tank 30 draws on the tank vent inlet 62 and thus draws a premeasured amount of the additive 32 from the dispensing tank 30, through the inner piping 48 (if included in the dispensing tank 30), through the additive outlet 46 of the dispensing tank 30, through the first portion of the air vent inlet pipe 64, and into the holding tank 50 through the tank vent inlet 62 (118) to provide the correct ratio of fluid 52 to additive 32.
  • the dispensing tank 30 is installed on a return fluid line of the return fluid circuit of the holding tank 50 that leads fluid back into the holding tank 50.
  • the additive 32 is added to the holding tank 50 in a similar manner to the above-described embodiment, however, when the engine is restarted, the return fluid flow through the return fluid line will dose the holding tank 50 with additive 32.
  • the return fluid in the return fluid circuit introduces the additive into the holding tank by pushing the additive 32 into the holding tank 50, which doses the holding tank 50 with the prescribed amount of additive 32 to obtain the prescribed ratio of additive 32 to fluid 52.
  • the prescribed amount of additive 32 that is dosed into the holding tank 50 depends on the relative size of the holding tank 50 and the dispensing tank 30 (the respective sizes of the holding tank 50 and the dispensing tank 30 are selected depending on the desired "dose ratio" of additive 32).
  • additive 32 regardless as to whether additive 32 is used within the additive system 20, the engine will still function. Therefore, it is not required to include additive 32, and additive 32 only needs to be included with engines that require additive 32. Accordingly, additive 32 can be used and included on an as-needed basis, depending on the vehicle and only where the engine needs additive 32 (rather than the entire site via a main fuel bulk tank). For example, High Pressure Injection (HPI) Injectors may not require the use of additives 32.
  • HPI High Pressure Injection
  • the dispensing tank 30 may also be refilled at the same time, if additive 32 is desired.
