DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an emulsion fuel, and more particularly to a water-in-oil emulsion fuel that is stable and has good combustion support when fueled.

Conventional technology Conventionally, when water is mixed in fuel oil, the amount of heat necessary to heat and evaporate the water is taken away during combustion, resulting in a loss of calories. It was thought that the best method was to remove as much water as possible.

However, the reason why water mixed in fuel oil is disliked is due to the unevenness of the fuel due to the separation of oil and water.
This is due to various problems such as misfires, rusting and corrosion, and failures can occur if water is uniformly dissolved and dispersed with oil.On the contrary, it improves the combustion characteristics of the fuel. recently,
It is known that when water or an aqueous solution is mixed with fuel oil for a fuel burner, such as kerosene, similar performance can be achieved with a smaller amount of fuel than before. In general, emulsion fuel is a water-in-oil emulsion in which water is dispersed as minute droplets in fuel oil, and usually requires the presence of a stabilizer to stabilize the emulsion, but it can be obtained by conventional methods. In emulsion fuel, as the water content increases, the water particle size in the emulsion increases and the system becomes unstable, so it is necessary to stabilize the system by increasing the amount of surfactant as a stabilizer. Conventionally used surfactants have the disadvantage that increasing the amount added increases the viscosity of the emulsion, and emulsion fuels using conventional methods also have economical problems because a considerable amount of emulsifier is added for emulsification. There is.

As seen in such proposals, although water itself does not have a calorific value, it has the effect of increasing the calorific value of the fuel by indirectly causing complete combustion of the fuel. However, if the fuel oil and water were not completely emulsified, complete combustion could not be achieved, resulting in poor combustion efficiency.

The problem that the invention aims to solve The fuel has shifted from coal to oil, and oil has come to occupy an important position as an energy source. In order to use fuel effectively, it is necessary to use a combustion method that is adapted to the combustion characteristics of each fuel, but even when looking at petroleum-based fuel as a liquid fuel, it is consumed in large quantities, so the first thing to do is to It has to be economical. In this respect, petroleum is generally regarded as a hydrocarbon-based liquid fuel, and its effective use is desired, since it generally generates a large amount of heat when burned, provides high temperatures, and has other handling, toxicity, and other considerations.

This is quite large, and from an industrial standpoint, fuel costs have an impact on the cost of products, so improvements are desired. In this way, even from the point of view of fuel economy, the current method is not satisfactory.

In order to obtain an emulsion fuel that is desirable as a fuel oil, it is necessary to form a stable water-in-oil emulsion with sufficient emulsification and dispersion, and to have good combustion support when used as a fuel. However, in the past, it has not been possible to easily obtain emulsion fuel that fully satisfies these conditions, resulting in insufficient fuel oil savings and fuel efficiency.

The fuel oil targeted in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is widely used mainly for agricultural and industrial purposes. In the present invention, the amount of water or aqueous solution mixed with these fuel oils is suitably 45% by volume or less based on the fuel oil. Furthermore, the additive used in the present invention is composed of a higher alcohol-based anionic surfactant such as alkylbenzenesulfonic acid and alkylbenzenesulfamic acid, and neutral salts such as sodium dorosyl sulfate and potassium dorosyl sulfate. For emulsification and dispersion by mixing with fuel oil, it is appropriate to use it in a range of 2 to 5% by volume, and the amount added varies depending on the lipophilicity or hydrophilicity of the fuel oil. Further, in order to improve the combustion efficiency of the emulsion fuel, it is appropriate to perform high pressure treatment at 10 to 15 kg/cd in order to increase the mutual affinity of oil and water in the emulsification and dispersion step. Furthermore, in the process of forced circulation under high pressure to form an emulsion, a known spray mechanism with an appropriate number of nozzles is installed to contain as many bubbles (air) as possible and make them fine.
Combustion support during combustion of the emulsion fuel can be improved.
