Abstract

The invention relates to processing hydrocarbon raw material, in particular petroleum products, fuel and a gas medium. The inventive device can be used in various production processes for a hydrocarbon raw-material processing for increasing a yield quality and quantity, for example of light petroleum products, and for preparing said hydrocarbon raw-material for burning in various energy plants for increasing operating technical-and-economic indexes of boilers, machines, mechanisms and other arrangements which use jet, jet turbo and other types on internal combustion engines. Said device is suitable for resource-saving technologies and can be used for increasing the reliability and cost effectiveness of electric power plants and for environment protection. The method for operating the hydrocarbon raw material processing device consists in supplying the raw material to a processing chamber through an input sleeve (5), in passing said raw material along electrodes (1, 2) in such a way that it is exposed to the action of low-power currents and, subsequently, in supplying the thus processed raw material directly to a unit (for example, a combustion chamber or a burner). Since the processed raw material contacts the metal wall of a fuel line when flowing therethrough and, thereby, loses a part of the energy, the processing chamber should be located as close as possible to a burning site.

Description

 A device for the processing of hydrocarbons.

The utility model relates to the field of hydrocarbon processing, in particular, petroleum products, fuel, gas environment. The proposed device can be used in various technological processes both in the processing of hydrocarbon raw materials in order to improve the quality and quantity of output, for example, light petroleum products, and in preparing it for burning in various power units in order to increase the technical and economic performance of boilers, machines, mechanisms and other units using jet, turboprop and other types of internal combustion engines.

It is used in resource-saving technologies. Designed to increase the reliability and efficiency of power plants, ensuring environmental cleanliness.

A device for processing fuel is known, comprising a rod designed to connect to one of the terminals of the power source, a housing mounted coaxially outside the rod to form a fuel processing chamber in the gap between the rod and the housing, an electrode designed to connect to another of the terminals of the power source ( one).

In this device, the housing is made of metal and performs the function of said electrode. On the outer surface of the rod, a spiral groove is made to ensure turbulization of the fuel flow, which allows to reduce the longitudinal dimensions of the device.

A limitation of the device is the insufficiently high quality of fuel processing, which is due to the low quality factor of the contour formed by a spiral groove. This circumstance leads to a decrease in the magnitude of the electromagnetic field acting on the fuel that flows through the processing chamber. Also

one

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the overall dimensions of the device are increasing, despite the turbulence of the fuel.

The closest in technical essence is a device for processing fuel, containing a rod made electrically conductive and designed to connect to one of the terminals of the power source, a housing mounted coaxially outside relative to the rod with the formation of a fuel processing chamber in the gap between the rod and the housing, a winding spirally located around the rod, an electrode designed to be connected to another of the terminals of the power supply (2).

In this device, the housing is dielectric. The rod is made hollow with holes at its end and is closed by a dielectric plug. Fuel is supplied directly to the core cavity through the inlet fitting. The winding is made on the outer surface of the rod from an insulated wire and is connected directly to the said electrode. This technical solution allows you to slightly increase the quality factor of the circuit, which improves the quality of fuel processing compared to the previous design. However, the limitation of this device is a sufficiently high hydroresistance to the flowing fuel, insufficiently high quality factor of the circuit formed by the winding and the rod, since the electrode is connected directly to the winding wire, which leads to a reduced magnitude of the electromagnetic field affecting the flowing fuel, the complexity of the design and its large transverse dimensions .

The task of creating a useful model: the preparation of hydrocarbon raw materials for combustion or supply to power plants in order to increase the economic and environmental effect.

The technical result consists in improving the quality of processing of hydrocarbon raw materials, in particular, fuel.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) For this, a device is proposed for processing hydrocarbon raw materials by electric current, including a housing, a chamber, an electronic power supply and an electrode, characterized in that it is made with two open ends, with each open end having a connection section through a butt element to the fuel pipe of the unit, the camera is made circular cross-section, has at least two electrodes made in the form of half-segments mounted in a chamber, the area of free space between the electrodes is equal to or more than the cross section top ivoprovoda unit.

The device is characterized in that the time that the current affects the feed is determined by the time it takes to travel along the electrode inside the chamber.

The device is characterized in that the magnitude of the current exposure to raw materials is not more than 1.5 mA.

The device is characterized in that the camera body is made of insulating material.

The device is illustrated by drawings, in which the image. Fig.

- A longitudinal section of the camera. Figure 2 - Section A-A of figure l. The numbers indicate: 1 - upper electrode, 2 - lower electrode, 3 - camera body, 4

- outlet pipe, 5 - inlet pipe.

The device consists of a housing, a chamber 3, an upper electrode 1, a lower electrode 2, an input pipe 5, an output pipe 4; in addition, the device contains an electronic power supply (EB). The housing of the chamber 3 is made of insulating material.

The device is installed in the section of the fuel line of the unit (not shown), as close as possible to the combustion device (for example, a boiler burner, an internal combustion engine nozzle, etc.). Fastened by butt elements, for example, flanges (not shown), providing the required reliability of the connection. The electrodes 1 and 2 are made of metal.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Thus, the device is made with open ends, which are connected through the nozzles 4, 5 to the fuel line of the unit.

A device for processing hydrocarbon raw materials as follows. The raw material enters through the inlet pipe 5 into the processing chamber. Passing along electrodes 1 and 2, the raw material is exposed to low power currents. Further, the processed raw material goes directly to the unit (for example, a combustion chamber or a furnace). Since the processed raw material, flowing through the fuel line, comes into contact with its metal wall and gives off part of the energy received, the processing chamber must be installed as close as possible to the place of combustion.

Electrodes 1 and 2 are supplied with an electrical signal of low power, but sufficient to affect the vibration of the raw material molecules, their intermolecular bonds. In addition, as a result of this action, the water molecules (H2O) that are present in the fuel are split into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H) atoms. Further, this enriched mixture of raw materials with free atoms enters the combustion plants. Thus, a greater number of molecules in the volume of raw materials are involved in the combustion process. This fact leads to the fact that the temperature of combustion increases.

As a result of an increase in the combustion temperature, the amount of soot, smoke and carbon monoxide formation is reduced, that is, the environmental performance of the unit as a whole is improved. In turn, this improvement in environmental indicators indicates a saving in raw materials.

As a result, less fuel is required to complete a specific job.

The device is compact and non-metallic. Information sources:
