Definitions
- the invention relates to an insert for the carburetor of internal combustion engines, such as, in particular, internal combustion engines as used in motor vehicles, but are also used, for example, for stationary generator systems.
- the object of the invention is to make use of a finding according to which the efficiency of internal combustion engines can be increased if the mixture of fuel and air which is produced in the carburetor and which is supplied to the individual combustion chambers (cylinders) of the engine via the carburetor mixture branch is exposed to an electrical potential running perpendicular to the direction of flow.
- an insert for the carburetor of internal combustion engines in particular for motor vehicles, which is characterized according to the invention in that the insert is arranged in the direction of flow of the fuel / air mixture and is electrically conductive, in each case Electrodes which are kept electrically insulated from one another have t to which a high electrical voltage potential is applied and thereby expose the fuel-air mixture to an electrical field which is essentially perpendicular to the direction of its flow.
- the electrodes can be an air condenser with two electrode sheets made of metal, such as aluminum, which are spirally wound at a distance from one another, or, according to another embodiment, can be formed by coaxial, electrically conductive tube pieces with diameters decreasing (or increasing) in uniform steps.
- the electrodes can also be an air condenser with flat plates arranged next to one another at equal intervals.
- a particularly simple construction is obtained when a further embodiment, isolated according to the electrodes of the L uftkondensators of two electrically mutually held, electrically conductive webs or sheet metal strips are supported.
- the webs can in particular represent metal rods, but they can also be formed from a rod (or also a plurality of rods) made of insulating material, the potential supply for the individual plates being formed by two separate metal supports.
- the insert has the shape of a carburetor sealing ring, one web being electrically connected to a contact strip or metallization arranged on an end face of the ring, while the other web is connected to an electrical connection cable led out of the ring end face.
- a second cable can also be used be provided what z. B. is favorable with respect to ground potential symmetrical voltage supply to the electrodes.
- the electrical voltage potential can either be a high DC voltage, but in particular a high AC voltage of several 1000 volts, e.g. B. 3000 ... 6000 volts.
- Such an alternating voltage can by means of a z. B. the motor vehicle alternator directly controlled transformer.
- a DC voltage generator device can be provided which, for. B. raises the battery voltage from 12 volts to a voltage between 3500 ... 7000 volts.
- the amount of the (direct or alternating) voltage supplied by the voltage generator is dependent on the carburetor vacuum, on the engine speed or similar parameters according to predetermined characteristics changes such that z.
- the field strength generated by the fuel-air mixture flowing through the capacitor plates is a function of the speed of the fuel-air mixture flowing through the plates, such control by modern semiconductor and microprocessor technology can be accomplished in a very simple manner .
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the insert 10 according to the invention, consisting of an "air condenser" 12, which here consists of concentric stages decreasing diameter having aluminum pipe pieces 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, which are held by a web 26 such that successive pipe pieces, for. B. 14 and 16, are insulated from each other, while a pipe section (z. B. 14) can be electrically connected to the respective next but one pipe section (z. B. 18), as shown schematically in Fig. 2 at reference number 28 .
- the web 26 there consists of a rod 30 made of insulating material (which is sufficiently heat-resistant), on which, in conventional technology, there are two metallic supports 32 and 34, each of which is electrically connected to corresponding capacitor tube sections.
- the metal support 32 is connected to the condenser pipe sections 14, 18 and 22, while the support 34 is connected to the pipe sections 24, 20 and 16.
- the insert also includes a sleeve or packing 36 made of preferably heat-resistant plastic.
- the sleeve 36 consists of two mating sections 38, 40, between which the one or more webs 26 are held, which on the one hand carry the capacitor plates 14 ... 24 and on the other hand the necessary electrical ones Form connections between these plates and between the plate groups and corresponding capacitor connection electrodes, as can also be seen in FIG. 2.
- the connected to the plates 16, 20, 24 in connection with the metal support 34 is connected to a contact strip or a metallization 42 which, after installation of the insert, for. B.
- the capacitor plates 22, 18, 14 with the metal support 32 and these in turn with the metal core 44 are one through a cable jacket 46 insulated cable 48, which cable 48 is connected to a source (60, 62) for a suitable high electrical direct or alternating voltage, see FIGS. 7 and 8.
- This source can, for. B. be a suitable DC voltage generator 60, the output voltage of which could be adjustable, and which could receive its energy from the vehicle battery 64 or, if a battery is not present, from the DC generator 66.
- the output voltage of such a DC voltage generator could e.g. B.
- a high-voltage transformer 62 could be provided in accordance with FIG. 7, which could be controlled by a low alternating voltage, as it is e.g. B. arises in an alternator 68.
- plastic sleeve 40, 42 with a rubber pad 50 or 52 on its end faces or support surfaces, or a corresponding other sealing sleeve made of a suitable material with the two plastic parts 38, 40 to combine in a sandwich.
- Fig. 1, Fig. 3 or Fig. 5 can be installed between the carburetor and the engine intake manifold, the previously existing sealing sleeve being replaced at this point by the insert according to the invention.
- the outer shape of the insert and the hole pattern are naturally adapted to the shape of the cuff previously installed.
- the "fuel electrification facility” exists e.g. B. from the capacitor plates 14 to 24, (Fig. 1), 114 to 124 (Fig. 3) or 214, 216 (Fig. 5), will produce a series of adjacent constant electric fields that lead to the direction of flow of the fuel-air -Mix the mixture (58) vertically.
- the outer shape of the air condenser 12 formed by the plates 14 to 24 can in turn be adapted to the shape of the cavity through which the fuel-air mixture flows.
- the (or the) connecting wires 48 and 49 can each be provided with a suitable fuse device 70, consisting of a conventional fuse with a corresponding load capacity and possibly an electronic switch. Such a fuse protects the system and also possibly prevents flashovers that lead to an undesired; early ignition of the air-fuel mixture in the intake manifold.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 which correspond to FIGS. 1 and 2, an arrangement of flat, mutually parallel capacitor plates is provided instead of the cylindrical capacitor plates, some of which are provided with reference numerals 114 ... 124.
- the plates 114, 118, 122 are for example held by a rod 132 and supplied with electrical voltage supplied via the cable 48 in a manner similar to the previously described embodiment, e.g. B.
- the rod 132 can either be made entirely of metal or, see Fig. 4, be constructed from a plastic carrier with a metal support 132, while the plates 116, 120, 124 are held by a second rod 134 and in a manner not shown here are in electrical connection with the contact strip 42 and from there are brought to ground potential, for example.
- the structure is quite analogous to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the size of the individual plates 114 ... 124 and further plates not provided with reference numbers is selected such that the flow space of the connected pipe section is again essentially filled.
- the connection will be made in such a way that the plates protrude into the connecting pipe section of the branch leading to the individual cylinders, while the carburetor comes to rest on the opposite side. If the carburetor is above the branch in the usual way, the inserts recognizable in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5 are thus mounted with the capacitor plates facing downward.
- the two spiral electrodes are each supported by a sheet-metal strips 232, 233, which are embedded in I solier- material 40 connect to the respective connecting cable 48 and 49, respectively.
- the device - with adaptation of the outer shape - is suitable for any type of carburetor engine, with different types of hydrocarbons being examined as fuel, the advantages according to the invention always being found, albeit to different degrees, in particular also Diesel oil, petrol and fuels containing methanol and hydrogen were checked. The same applies to liquid propane gas and similar fuels.
- the effect of the principle according to the invention results when the described device z. B. arranges with a conventional engine and adjusts the associated carburetor - with initially switched off potential - to its correct value. If the voltage is now applied and the fuel-air mixture is exposed to the electrical potential fields, the result is a reduction in consumption of up to 25%, an increase in engine output of up to 7% and a reduction in unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas to almost no longer measurable values , while the harmful components and the CO content are greatly reduced, the harmful components being reduced by up to 50 % . i
