Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel additive which can be added to the fuels consisting of liquid hydrocarbons, such as gasoline, gas oil, diesel oil and kerosene, and which significantly reduces the amount of components of the exhaust gases which are particularly harmful to the environment.
- the invention also relates to the use of this fuel additive.
- the efficiency and emission of internal combustion engines such as gasoline engines, diesel engines and Wankel engines depend, among other things, on the design of the engine, the degree of compression and the fuel-air ratio.
- certain additives have also become known, which have been worked out primarily in order to reduce fuel consumption and to increase the efficiency.
- an additive which contains alkyl acetate, aromatic hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrogen halides. When added to the fuel, it increases the efficiency of the engine.
- a similar additive is described in GB-A 2 172 302, it contains chlorinated aromatics, dialkyl ketones and alcohol.
- US Pat. Nos. 4,289,501, 4,286,969, 4,264,335 and 4,394,134 have disclosed additives which contain halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons and are added to the fuel in order to increase the octane number and the efficiency. According to US Pat. No.
- halogenated hydrocarbons are used to reduce the lead emission from the lead content of the fuel.
- These known additives are used in an amount of 0.1% by volume or more, based on the fuel. A significant increase in efficiency can be achieved with these known additives, but it is disadvantageous that the fuel provided with additives gives rise to an exhaust gas which, compared to operation with fuel free of additives, has an increased proportion of CO, soot, NO x and HCl having. The increase in the amount of soot is particularly significant because unsaturated or aromatic compounds are generally used as halogenated hydrocarbons.
- the invention accordingly relates to a fuel additive which contains at least one saturated aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbon and at least one organic sodium compound in a ratio in which the amount of sodium is at most equivalent to the amount of chlorine and contains at least one organic solvent.
- the fuel additive particularly preferably contains 10-30% saturated aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbon (s), 5-15% organic sodium compound (s) and, in the remaining amount, the solvent.
- saturated aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons for example, partially chlorinated or perchlorinated alkanes, such as methyl chloride (chloromethane), dichloromethane, trichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, mono- or polychlorinated ethane or mixtures of the listed compounds are suitable.
- Sodium alcoholates or the sodium salts of carboxylic acids are suitable as organic sodium compounds. Examples include sodium methylate, sodium ethylate, sodium acetate, sodium benzoate and the mixtures of the compounds listed.
- the fuels themselves i.e. Gasoline, gas oil, diesel oil, kerosene, furthermore with these immiscible solvents, such as alcohols, and the mixtures of the solvents mentioned are suitable.
- the lower limit of the amount of solvent depends on the solubility of the sodium compound, the upper limit is almost arbitrary.
- the invention further relates to the use of the fuel additive according to the invention. According to the invention, so much additive is added to the fuel that the amount of saturated chlorinated hydrocarbon in the fuel is 0.001-0.02% by volume.
- the fuel additive according to the invention significantly reduces the amount of pollutants in the exhaust gas and also leads to a fuel saving of about 2-5%, based on the consumption of additive-free fuel.
- the reduction in N ⁇ x emissions is 8-18%, that of CO emissions 25-30%, that of C n H m emissions, and that of soot emissions 20-30%.
- a fuel additive of the following composition was made:
- the measurements were carried out on a 12PA4-185VG PIELSTIECK motor whose rotational speed was 1400 min -1. 31 ml of the fuel additive were added to the gas oil used as fuel, which corresponds to a dichloromethane content in the fuel of 0.01% by volume. In relation to the operation of the engine without additives, the fuel consumption was 3.7% lower, the NO x content of the exhaust gas decreased by 15%, the CnH ⁇ content by 27.5%, the soot content by 24.7%, and the HCl content was 0.0 ppm.
- a fuel additive of the following composition was produced:
