Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fuel additive and methods of providing such a fuel additive.
  • the fuel additive of the present invention can be used with various fuels for internal combustion engines.
  • the present invention provides a fuel additive.
  • the fuel additive comprises a mixture of about 0.05 to about 20 percent by weight of a liquid having an aqueous character and about 80 to about 99.95 percent by weight of ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, wherein the mixture had been heated to about 100° to about 200°F, or higher, to remove any ethanol or isopropyl alcohol not intimately bound with the liquid having an aqueous character.
  • the present invention further provides a method of providing a fuel additive.
  • the method comprises mixing about 0.05 to about 20 percent by weight of a liquid having an aqueous character with about 80 to about 99.95 percent by weight of ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and heating the mixture to about 100° to about 200 0 F, or higher, to remove any ethanol or isopropyl alcohol not intimately bound with the liquid having an aqueous character.
  • the present invention provides a fuel additive that can be added to various fuels to increase fuel efficiency and decrease emissions such as particulate matter, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide by up to about 100 percent.
  • the fuel additive comprises a mixture of about 5 to about 20 percent by weight of a liquid having an aqueous character and about 80 to about 95 percent by weight of ethanol or isopropyl alcohol or both.
  • the mixture is formed by mixing the components together and applying heat to about 100°F to about 200°F or higher to remove any ethanol or isopropyl alcohol not intimately bound with the liquid having an aqueous character.
  • the fuel additive may also include oxygen, i.e., it may be oxygenated.
  • the liquid having an aqueous character consists primarily of water, normally greater than about 90 percent water by weight, and can be essentially pure water in certain circumstances.
  • a liquid having an aqueous character can be distilled water, tap water, or the like.
  • a liquid having an aqueous character can include water having substances such as pH buffers, pH adjusters, organic and inorganic salts, sugars, amino acids or surfactants incorporated therein.
  • the fuel additive may be added to a wide variety of fuels used in internal combustion engines. Suitable fuels include but are not limited to: gasoline, diesel #1, #2, and #4, bunker fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, JP8, fuel oil, heating oil, liquid coal, propane, liquefied natural gas, and the like. When the fuel additive is used with any of the above listed fuels, the amount of liquid having an aqueous character can be varied to obtain different compression ratios. When used in diesel engines, in this embodiment, ethanol is not used alone but is blended with the isopropyl alcohol.
  • the fuel additive is provided by mixing the liquid having an aqueous character with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. Heat is then applied to remove any ethanol or isopropyl alcohol not intimately bound or entrained with the liquid having an aqueous character. Typically, the heat is applied for 1 to 100 minutes. In one embodiment, oxygen can be percolated through the mixture for 1 to 60 minutes to increase combustibility. [0015] When the fuel additive is used with a fuel, the burn rate of the fuel is slowed, the fuel to air ratio is "leaned", the fuel has more energy per unit of fuel, the combustion chamber and the exhaust system are cleaned, and steam is expelled through the exhaust system.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un additif pour carburant qui comprend un mélange d'environ 0,05 à environ 20 % en poids d'un liquide à caractère aqueux, et d'environ 80 à environ 99,95 % en poids d'éthanol ou d'alcool isopropylique. Ledit mélange est chauffé entre environ 100° et environ 200°F ou plus, pour supprimer tout éthanol ou alcool isopropylique qui n'est pas intimement lié au liquide à caractère aqueux. En outre, l'invention propose un procédé permettant de fournir un additif pour carburant. Ledit procédé comprend le mélange d'environ 0,05 à environ 20 % en poids d'un liquide à caractère aqueux avec environ 80 à environ 99,95 % en poids d'éthanol ou d'alcool isopropylique ; le chauffage du mélange à une chaleur allant d'environ 100° à environ 200°F ou plus, pour supprimer tout éthanol ou alcool isopropylique qui n'est pas intimement lié au liquide à caractère aqueux.
