Description

燃料改質装置fuel reformer
　本発明は、燃料を鉱物に接触させて鉱物の作用で燃料を改質するための燃料改質装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a fuel reforming device for bringing fuel into contact with minerals and reforming the fuel by the action of the minerals.
　従来より、燃料の燃費を向上させるなどを目的として燃料を改質するための燃料改質装置が利用されている。 Conventionally, fuel reformers have been used to reform fuel for the purpose of improving the fuel efficiency of the fuel.
　この燃料改質装置では、容器の内部に鉱物を充填し、容器の両端中央部に燃料流入口と燃料流出口とを設けた構成の物が知られている（たとえば、特許文献１参照。）。 This fuel reformer is known to have a structure in which a container is filled with minerals and a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet are provided at the center of both ends of the container (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .
　そして、従来の燃料改質装置では、燃料流入口から容器の内部に燃料を流入させ、容器の内部で燃料を鉱物に接触させ、その後、燃料流出口から燃料を流出させるようにしている。 In a conventional fuel reformer, fuel flows into a container from a fuel inlet, contacts minerals inside the container, and then flows out from a fuel outlet.
特開２０１０－２５５４６３号公報Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-255463
　ところが、上記従来の燃料改質装置では、容器の内部に鉱物を充填するとともに、容器の両端中央部に燃料流入口と燃料流出口とを設けていたために、燃料が容器の内部の鉱物と接触しながら流動する際に、鉱物の中央部分に燃料が偏って流れていた。 However, in the above-mentioned conventional fuel reformer, the inside of the container is filled with minerals, and a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet are provided at the center of both ends of the container, so that the fuel comes into contact with the minerals inside the container. However, when the mineral flowed, the fuel flowed unevenly to the center of the mineral.
　そのため、上記従来の燃料改質装置では、燃料と鉱物との接触時間が短くなり、鉱物の作用による燃料の改質が良好に行われておらず、しかも、燃料の流動抵抗が増大しており、燃料をエンジン等に向けて円滑に流動させることができていなかった。 Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional fuel reformer, the contact time between the fuel and the mineral is shortened, and the fuel is not reformed properly due to the action of the mineral, and furthermore, the flow resistance of the fuel is increased. , the fuel could not flow smoothly toward the engine, etc.
　そこで、請求項１に係る本発明では、燃料を鉱物に接触させて鉱物の作用で燃料を改質するための燃料改質装置において、燃料が通過する容器の内部に、燃料が下方から上方へ向けて流れる処理室を形成するとともに、処理室の内部に、鉱物をビーズ状に形成した鉱物ビーズを装填することにした。 Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, in a fuel reformer for bringing fuel into contact with minerals and reforming the fuel by the action of the minerals, the fuel is placed inside a container through which the fuel passes from below to above. In addition to forming a processing chamber that flows towards the target, we also decided to load mineral beads formed into bead-shaped minerals into the processing chamber.
　また、請求項２に係る本発明では、前記請求項１に係る本発明において、前記処理室を開閉可能に形成して、内部の鉱物ビーズを交換可能とすることにした。 Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 2, in the present invention according to claim 1, the processing chamber is formed to be openable and closable, so that the mineral beads inside can be replaced.
　また、請求項３に係る本発明では、前記請求項２に係る本発明において、前記処理室に鉱物ビーズを装填したカートリッジを交換可能に収容することにした。 Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 3, in the present invention according to claim 2, a cartridge loaded with mineral beads is replaceably housed in the processing chamber.
　また、請求項４に係る本発明では、前記請求項１～請求項３のいずれかに係る本発明において、前記処理室の内部に下方から上方へ向けて燃料が流れる流路を形成するための流路形成体を鉱物ビーズとともに収容することにした。 Further, in the present invention according to claim 4, in the present invention according to any one of claims 1 to 3, a flow path for forming a flow path through which fuel flows from below to above in the processing chamber is provided. It was decided to house the channel former together with the mineral beads.
　また、請求項５に係る本発明では、前記請求項１又は請求項２に係る本発明において、前記処理室の下部に多孔体を介してドレン室を形成するとともに、ドレン室の下部にドレン抜き開口を形成し、処理室の下流端部に上部に貫通孔を有する仕切体を介して脱気室を形成するとともに、脱気室の上部に脱気開口を形成することにした。 Further, in the present invention according to claim 5, in the present invention according to claim 1 or claim 2, a drain chamber is formed in the lower part of the processing chamber through a porous body, and a drain is drained in the lower part of the drain chamber. It was decided to form a deaeration chamber at the downstream end of the processing chamber via a partition having a through hole at the upper part, and to form a deaeration opening in the upper part of the deaeration chamber.
　そして、本発明では、以下に記載する効果を奏する。 The present invention has the following effects.
　すなわち、本発明では、燃料を鉱物に接触させて鉱物の作用で燃料を改質するための燃料改質装置において、燃料が通過する容器の内部に、燃料が下方から上方へ向けて流れる処理室を形成するとともに、処理室の内部に、鉱物をビーズ状に形成した鉱物ビーズを装填することにしているために、燃料と鉱物との接触時間が長くなり、鉱物の作用による燃料の改質が良好に行われ、しかも、燃料の流動抵抗が低くなり、燃料をエンジン等に向けて円滑に流動させることができる。 That is, in the present invention, in a fuel reformer for bringing fuel into contact with minerals and reforming the fuel by the action of the minerals, a processing chamber in which the fuel flows from below to above is provided inside a container through which the fuel passes. At the same time, since mineral beads formed in the form of minerals are loaded inside the processing chamber, the contact time between the fuel and the minerals becomes longer, and the reformation of the fuel by the action of the minerals becomes more difficult. This is carried out well, and the flow resistance of the fuel is reduced, allowing the fuel to flow smoothly toward the engine and the like.
　特に、前記処理室を開閉可能に形成して、内部の鉱物ビーズを交換可能とすることにした場合には、必要に応じて鉱物ビーズを容易に交換することができる。 In particular, if the processing chamber is formed to be openable and closable so that the mineral beads inside can be replaced, the mineral beads can be easily replaced as necessary.
　また、前記処理室に鉱物ビーズを装填したカートリッジを交換可能に収容することにした場合には、カートリッジごと鉱物ビーズを容易に交換することができる。 Furthermore, if a cartridge loaded with mineral beads is replaceably housed in the processing chamber, the mineral beads can be easily replaced together with the cartridge.
　また、前記処理室の内部に下方から上方へ向けて燃料が流れる流路を形成するための流路形成体を鉱物ビーズとともに収容することにした場合には、鉱物ビーズを装填した処理室の内部で燃料を流路形成体に沿って円滑に流すことができる。 In addition, in the case where a flow path forming body for forming a flow path through which fuel flows from below to above is housed inside the processing chamber together with mineral beads, the inside of the processing chamber loaded with mineral beads may be used. This allows fuel to flow smoothly along the flow path forming body.
　また、前記処理室の下部に多孔体を介してドレン室を形成するとともに、ドレン室の下部にドレン抜き開口を形成し、処理室の下流端部に上部に貫通孔を有する仕切体を介して脱気室を形成するとともに、脱気室の上部に脱気開口を形成することにした場合には、燃料に含まれる水分や空気を除去することができる。 In addition, a drain chamber is formed in the lower part of the processing chamber via a porous body, a drain opening is formed in the lower part of the drain chamber, and a drain opening is formed in the lower part of the drain chamber, and a drain opening is formed in the downstream end of the processing chamber via a partition body having a through hole in the upper part. When a degassing chamber is formed and a degassing opening is formed in the upper part of the degassing chamber, moisture and air contained in the fuel can be removed.

The cartridge 35 is supported from below by an annular support frame 36 horizontally attached to the inner lower part of the container body 25 (above the fuel inlet 23).
　これにより、容器22は、内部に、容器本体25の内側下方と底板27の上側とカートリッジ35の下方とで区画された貯留室37と、容器本体25の内側のカートリッジ35を収容した処理室38と、容器本体25の内側上方とカートリッジ35の上方と上板26とで区画された脱気室39とが形成されている。 As a result, the container 22 has a storage chamber 37 divided by the lower inside of the container main body 25, the upper side of the bottom plate 27, and the lower part of the cartridge 35, and a processing chamber 38 that accommodates the cartridge 35 inside the container main body 25.

Note that in the flow path forming body 50, the flow path can be rotated together with the wing body 52 by rotating the shaft body 51, and the position of the flow path can be adjusted.
　このカートリッジ35の内部には、第１実施例と同様の鉱物ビーズ34が充填されている。 The inside of this cartridge 35 is filled with mineral beads 34 similar to those in the first embodiment.
　燃料改質装置21は、以上に説明したように構成しており、燃料を燃料流入口23から貯留室37を介して処理室38の内部に流入させると、燃料が処理室38に収容されたカートリッジ35の下枠42及び多孔板49を通過し、カートリッジ35（処理室38）の内部で燃料が鉱物ビーズ34と接触しながら流路形成体50によって螺旋状に形成された流路に沿って下方から上方へ向けて流動し、燃料がカートリッジ35の上枠41及び多孔板48を通過して脱気室39へと流入し、脱気室39の燃料流出口24から流出する。 The fuel reformer 21 is configured as described above, and when fuel flows into the processing chamber 38 from the fuel inlet 23 via the storage chamber 37, the fuel is accommodated in the processing chamber 38. The fuel passes through the lower frame 42 and the perforated plate 49 of the cartridge 35 and comes into contact with the mineral beads 34 inside the cartridge 35 (processing chamber 38) along the flow path formed in a spiral shape by the flow path forming body 50. The fuel flows from the bottom to the top, passes through the upper frame 41 and the perforated plate 48 of the cartridge 35, flows into the degassing chamber 39, and flows out from the fuel outlet 24 of the degassing chamber 39.
　その際に、燃料が処理室38の内部で鉱物ビーズ34と接触することによって、鉱物の作用で燃料の改質を行うことができる。なお、燃料に含まれていた水分や塵などは、比重の作用で処理室38から貯留室37へと移動し、燃料に含まれていた空気などは、比重の作用で処理室38から脱気室39へと移動し、脱気開口33から外部へ排出させることができる。 At that time, when the fuel comes into contact with the mineral beads 34 inside the processing chamber 38, the fuel can be reformed by the action of the minerals. Note that moisture, dust, etc. contained in the fuel move from the processing chamber 38 to the storage chamber 37 due to the effect of specific gravity, and air, etc. contained in the fuel is degassed from the processing chamber 38 due to the effect of specific gravity. It can be moved to the chamber 39 and discharged to the outside through the degassing opening 33.
　このように、燃料改質装置21は、燃料の改質とともに、燃料に含まれる水分や塵や空気などの不純物を除去することができる。 In this way, the fuel reformer 21 can reform the fuel and remove impurities such as moisture, dust, and air contained in the fuel.
　なお、鉱物ビーズ16,34は、燃料と接触することで燃料を改質させることができる鉱物を所定直径以上の一定の直径を有するビーズ状（球状）に形成したものであればよく、たとえば、二酸化ケイ素（SiO2）、マグネシウム（Mg）、酸化アルミニウム（Al2O3）、三酸化硫黄（S03）、塩素（cl）、カルシウム（Ca）、酸化クリプトン（KrO）、ストロンチウム（Sr）、ランタン（La）、ナトリウム（Na）、ネオジム（Nd）、リチウム（Li）、トリウム（Th）、クリプトン（Kr）、マンガン（Mn）、プラセオジム（Pr）などを含むリン酸塩鉱物の粉末を蛙目石粉をつなぎとして使用した粘土状物を所定直径以上のビーズ状（球状）に焼成したものを利用することができる。 Note that the mineral beads 16 and 34 may be formed by forming a mineral that can reform the fuel by contacting the fuel into a bead shape (spherical shape) having a constant diameter greater than or equal to a predetermined diameter; for example, Silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), magnesium (Mg), aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), sulfur trioxide (S0 3 ), chlorine (cl), calcium (Ca), krypton oxide (KrO), strontium (Sr), Frog phosphate mineral powder containing lanthanum (La), sodium (Na), neodymium (Nd), lithium (Li), thorium (Th), krypton (Kr), manganese (Mn), praseodymium (Pr), etc. A clay-like material using eye stone powder as a binder can be fired into beads (spherical shapes) with a predetermined diameter or more.
　そして、上記燃料改質装置1,21を船舶に取付けてＡ重油を改質させたところ、鉱物によるマイナスイオン等の燃料を活性化させる作用によって、燃料の主成分である水素分子や炭素分子の強い結合が緩んで燃料の燃焼効率が高まり、排気ガスの色が黒煙から白煙に近づき、エンジン出力が上昇し、消費燃料の低減化が観測された。 When the fuel reformers 1 and 21 were installed on a ship to reform A heavy oil, the effect of activating the fuel, such as negative ions from minerals, caused the hydrogen molecules and carbon molecules that are the main components of the fuel to be reduced. Strong bonds were loosened, fuel combustion efficiency increased, the color of the exhaust gas changed from black smoke to white smoke, engine output increased, and fuel consumption was reduced.

The reforming of the fuel is performed satisfactorily, and since the fuel flows through the gaps between the mineral beads 16 and 34, the flow resistance of the fuel is lowered, and the fuel can flow smoothly toward the engine and the like.
　また、上記燃料改質装置1,21は、処理室13,38を開閉可能に形成して、内部の鉱物ビーズ16,34を交換可能に構成している。 Furthermore, the fuel reforming devices 1, 21 are configured such that the processing chambers 13, 38 can be opened and closed, and the mineral beads 16, 34 inside can be replaced.
　そのため、上記燃料改質装置1,21では、燃料の種類や鉱物ビーズ16,34の劣化などの必要に応じて鉱物ビーズ16,34を容易に交換することができる。 Therefore, in the fuel reformer 1, 21, the mineral beads 16, 34 can be easily replaced depending on the type of fuel, deterioration of the mineral beads 16, 34, etc.
　また、上記燃料改質装置21は、処理室38に鉱物ビーズ34を装填したカートリッジ35を交換可能に収容した構成となっている。 Furthermore, the fuel reformer 21 has a structure in which a cartridge 35 loaded with mineral beads 34 is exchangeably housed in a processing chamber 38.
