Abstract

PURPOSE:To make heat-ray reform applicable to treatment of air for combustion as an immediately effective and instantaneous highly efficient method by irradiating air for combustion with far infrared rays of wavelengths in the range of 8mum to 10mum. CONSTITUTION:A strip of heat insulator 1 is provided with a reflector 2 and an irradiator 3 on the inner side and with adhesion devices, which are attachable and detachable, on the outer side and the inner side of the heat insulator 1; such a strip is provided to the inner wall of a feed passage for air for combustion, such as a rubber duct hose, which has a high absorptivity for heat rays and is positioned at the intake of an air cleaner or between the air cleaner and the intake manifold for an internal-combustion engine. Far infrared rays of wavelengths in the range of 8mum to 20mum, emitted from the irradiator 3, cause molecules constituting the air fed to a combustion chamber to vibrate and the oxygen molecules to expand under frictional heat evolving from the molecular motion and consequently blend with fuel at an accelerated rate. As a result, the equipment can easily clear the emission standards against NOX.CO2, and the like.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for hot ray treatment of intake air for improving combustion in various boilers, combustion furnaces, or internal combustion engines, and more specifically, to By applying far infrared rays with a wavelength of 87111 to 101 to the intake air necessary for this purpose, the reformation of the intake air can be carried out quickly and efficiently without requiring much time, and at the same time, the amount of fuel used can be significantly reduced.
Reduction and soot CO■. The purpose is to reduce NOx.

[Conventional technology]

As a means of improving combustion in various engines such as various boilers or combustion furnaces, gasoline engines for automobiles, diesel engines used in trucks and ships, and generators, tower-mounted turbochargers and There is also a method attached to the supercharger, an increase in the number of valves in the intake system, and a special method of treating the fuel and combustion air supplied to the combustion site with a magnetic field, which has been awarded the first patent in Japan.
A magnetic field treatment device for fuel and combustion air of this type, already known from No. 172559, comprises a pair of permanent magnets and
Non-ball, low-force magnets were attached to the fuel and combustion air supply passages to improve combustion by applying magnetism to the intake air. However, the theoretical elucidation of the effect that the magnetic field has on the fuel and air at this time has not yet been made.
Since the device name Blue 2 lined pion tape 88 magnetizes the metal of the internal combustion engine body after installation, the effect affects the metal even after removal, and the soot and smoke Co2. End users (equipment handling agencies) say that NOX emissions are increasing rather than being reduced.
It has received a lot of praise from. However, at present,
It appears that various experiments have been undertaken to reduce the magnetic force.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by applying far infrared rays with a wavelength of 8)ss to 10% to the intake air, it is immediately effective and highly efficient. However, since it is also visible light, its radiation speed is the same as the speed of light.

Also, since it is not a magnetic wire, it will not magnetize the main metals of the engine and cause any harmful effects (significant savings in fuel, soot, and CO).

．． It is an object of the present invention to provide an intake air heat ray treatment method and apparatus for reducing NOx.

[Means for solving the problems] Is the present invention intended to solve these series of problems? A reflector is placed inside the heat insulating material from above the combustion air supply passage that has a high heat ray absorption rate, such as the air cleaner inlet of the combustion engine or the rubber duct hose installed between the air cleaner and the intake manhold. ■ and irradiation book [3
], and has removable adhesive ■ (Magic tape) on the outside and inside of the insulation material [1], and is a device that can be simply wrapped around it, and is a type of heat ray emitted from the irradiator ■. Far infrared rays with a wavelength of 8P to 10l1 vibrate the air constituent molecules (oxygen molecules) that enter the combustion chamber, and the frictional heat generated by the molecular movement expands the oxygen molecules, promoting their fusion with the fuel. This has led to the replenishment of oxygen deficiency, which can be said to be fatal to internal combustion engines (reciprocal engines), and NOx. It will be possible to reduce environmental standards such as Co■ and contribute to the prevention of air pollution on a global and national scale.

These are the results up to 4).

This invention is illustrated in the drawings below. This will be explained in detail using examples.

FIG. 1 shows the principle of the intake air heat ray treatment device according to the invention.
This shows a configuration diagram. In the same figure, there is a reflector ■ and an irradiator [3] inside the insulation material ■ that prevents the outside temperature, and removable adhesive material ■ (Velcro tape) is provided on the outside and inside of the insulation material [1]. The irradiator ■ is the amount of air used (displacement volume) of the internal combustion engine, etc., and the type of fuel (gasoline, diesel, etc.).
(LPG, etc.) This is related to each fuel and the air compression ratio of the engine. Also, the capacity is selected depending on the area of the irradiator, depending on the presence or absence of a supercharger.

In addition, in the case of large diesel engines (ships, generators), the amount of intake air and the outer diameter of the intake air supply passage are different, so it is necessary to change the original shape of the device itself, and it is necessary to install it inside the engine. The design is also currently being tested.

has been confirmed. Table (2) shows the fuel efficiency of a 10 ton vehicle at different operating speeds in a 3km section when empty and loaded using driving fuel efficiency test data (this results in a test result of 43.62% for the total energy saving rate). , and a reduction in black smoke was also confirmed. Table G) shows the running fuel efficiency data for vehicles using the device and vehicles that did not use the device for one month at the Ominato office of JR Bus Tohoku Corporation. This shows the comparison with distance routes. In addition, the device is installed on diesel vehicles used at high speeds.
During. This is an example of a vehicle that has a large impact on monthly fuel consumption compared to a vehicle that is used at low speeds. This is due to the fact that internal combustion engines are currently running in an oxygen-deficient state due to high rotation speeds, which can be said to be fatal, as mentioned above, and the device of the present invention is also connected to assisting the oxygen-deficient state. be. Although both tests were conducted on a 5,000km equivalent, this is an indication of the evaluation that contributed to a large amount of fuel savings. Table (4) shows the 10-mode test data for normal cars and cars equipped with the device, and the exhaust gas was tested using the same test equipment conventionally used by each car manufacturer, and the test results are compared. As stated in NOx. co2. Of course, it is important to prevent HC and exhaust gases. It will also greatly contribute to measures to reduce NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions, which the Environment Agency is currently asking automakers to cooperate with. This is the result of the exhaust gas concentration after 45 minutes of preparatory operation after installing the device, and the test result record sheet shows that the device has an excellent immediate effect. The intake air hot ray treatment method of the present invention can be applied not only to internal combustion engines as described in the above embodiments, but also to engines such as gas turbines, and has great future potential.

? As described above, according to the present invention, the hot ray reforming treatment of combustion air required by an internal combustion engine can be performed instantaneously, immediately, and with high efficiency, and at the same time, it can significantly save fuel and eliminate soot, smoke, and NOx.
