Description

The invention relates to a device for increasing the Calorific value one from oil or diesel or gasoline fuels existing liquid, the molecules with electrical dipole moments contains as well Suspended matter, in particular in the form of crystallites having.

The one with a combustion of power and others Fuels, for example in engines or Hei boilers, efficiency achieved, d. H. the ver ratio between the amount of heat released and the fuel volume depends u. a. from the surface of the injected into the combustion chamber th or introduced liquid drops of Fuel. A reduction in the middle Drop radius improves efficiency because the Burn through the direct contact of everyone to oxidize molecules to be oxidized to oxygen nigt and improved. A lower limit of the he targetable drop size is however due to the in the fuels due to their mineral origin jump contained calcium-based kri stallite and by others, in storage and getting into the fuels during transport Suspended particles. Usually wise burn  liquids such as oil, diesel and petrol fuels a certain amount of water.

Calcium and magnesium compounds of this type, which agglomerate into small crystals known as clusters, determine the degree of hardness of the water. Various methods are used to remove the crystallites from the water, i.e. to carry out softening. It occurs either by chemical processes, by adding caustic lime, caustic soda, soda, hydrochloric or sulfuric acid, trisodium phosphate and ion exchangers to remove and precipitate the hardness-causing compounds. Chemical-physical and purely physical processes such as distillation, freezing-out and electrolytic processes are also common. The method of passing and passing water through stationary magnetic fields of different polarities, which is not uncontroversial with regard to its function and scientific explanation, should also be mentioned here. Such an arrangement is from a contribution in the magazine "Space and Time", Ehlers Verlag GmbH, 8000 Munich 40, by the contribution of Dr. Klaus Kronenberg became known under the title "Advantages of magnetic water treatment". The mode of action is based on the fact that the H ₂ O complexes surrounding the lime crystallites are broken up by passing them through permanent magnetic fields, so that due to the release of the lime crystallites, the effect of a crystallization nuclei arises, which leads to the formation and coalescence of crystallites of larger size and Size gives cause (see Fig. 12a, 12b and 12c with associated explanations). In the latter case, there is no elimination of the chemical compounds which cause the temporary and / or permanent hardness, so that when viewed chemically there is no change and no influence on the degree of hardness. Nevertheless, the limestone crystallites are influenced in the sense that the deposits decrease or possibly even build up.

Proceeding from this, the invention has the sheep the task of a device with which Help increase the calorific value of oil sel and petrol fuels as well as a prevention of deposits in the fuel supply lines possible becomes.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by that the device the liquid with a hochfre quent alternating electrical field applied where at the frequency a certain frequency interval drives through.

The main idea of the invention is based on the fact known to every man that liquids consisting of oil, diesel or gasoline fuels contain a certain amount of water, the H ₂ O molecule having a pronounced electrical dipole element and suspended matter in the combustible liquid and others Crystals consisting of calcium carbonate CaCO ₃ and sometimes branching out. Here now the invention intervenes by the proposal to act on the liquid by applying alternating electrical fields, where the frequency is wobbled, ie passes through a frequency range. The alternating electrical field acts on the dipoles of the liquid and vibrates the molecule according to the frequency applied. On the other hand, there is no influence on the electrically neutral crystallites that are in suspension. The result is that - triggered by the alternating electrical field - the liquid is moved relative to the floating crystallites, that is, they "wash around" and try to set them in motion or set them in vibration. The consequence is that sooner or later the branched crystallites break up into smaller crystallites. It is of crucial importance that the crystallites have natural frequencies corresponding to their structure, shape and dimensions, which trigger resonance phenomena which lead to appropriate breakage of the crystallites. According to the differences in size and shape, the natural vibrations and the resonances occur at different frequencies, which is why the frequency of the alternating electric field is wobbled, the frequency accordingly a certain frequency range, which covers and includes the predominant natural frequencies of the different crystal, if possible. goes through. The result is and can easily be checked on the basis of microscopic examinations that the originally large crystallites undergo a decisive reduction in size. As a result, they are better kept in balance, do not tend to build up deposits and can be washed out in the normal way by passing through the usual filters and fittings. With the help of filter samples, the size reduction can be easily recognized and checked on the one hand by significantly reducing the deposits that remain and on the other hand by significantly reducing the size of the crystallites. The physical reason for the lack of the formation of deposits is to be seen in the fact that the tendency to grow on small crystallites due to the small and comparatively smooth surface is significantly less than in large widely branched and often branched crystallites. As a result, the tendency to form large deposits and also large crystallites is comparatively low. The reduction in surface tension can be explained by the formation of clusters due to the dipole character of the liquid molecules. In the case of water, a distinction is made between L water and T water, with the L water being organized in a chain-line manner and making a decisive contribution to the development of the surface tension. The T-water, however, has a comparatively low surface tension and is arranged in a tetrahedral shape. The application of the alternating electric field primarily destroys the arrangement arranged in a chain-like manner and therefore unstable in comparison to the tetrahedral shape, so that the proportion of L-water is significantly reduced. The result is a noticeable reduction in the surface tension and the resulting finer distribution of the liquid drops in the combustion chamber.

It should be made clear that the be processes with all crystallites depending on their chemical composition find and run off, so that suspended matter other rer composition in the sense described Experience crushing.

By reducing the crystallite size of the Suspended matter is also a part of combustion reduced droplet diameter of the fuel achievable, so that due to the improved Kon clocks with the surrounding oxygen a faster and more complete combustion compared to that in State of the art achieved is possible. The before part of the invention is therefore primarily in an improvement in efficiency, i.e. one increased conversion contained in the fuel chemical energy in heat. Furthermore, as to view advantageously that the invention also after easily in existing systems and Vehicles can be installed.

In a special development of the invention  The device has a frequency range of 1 to 10 kHz but preferably in the area around 2 kHz in the rear look at optimal effect due to the gained Experience as optimal.

A major problem is that the flammable Liquid often from an electrically conductive Material, usually metal is surrounded and it thus causing difficulties to the desired electrical alternating fields up to the dipoles bring to. The skin effect prevents it from hitting alternating electrical fields under training be compensated by eddy currents and at the Propagation into the interior of the pipe, d. H. to the liquid are hindered. The now by the invention proposed and ingeniously simple solution in it, a coil around the electrically conductive and the flammable liquid to be processed Material, e.g. B. pipe coaxially and with a To apply electricity in a special way. As is well known, the coil produces inside, i.e. H. there with also inside the tube, a homogeneous ma genetic field. The invention is now on use that according to Maxwell's equations Change in the magnetic field an electrical Field created. The strength of the induced electri field component depends u. a. from the temporal Change in the magnetic field, i.e. its temporal Differential. The strength of the induced elec tric field is the larger, the faster The change in the magnetic field takes place. From the is fundamental for the generation of a pronounced  electric field inside the liquid steepest possible increase in the magnetic field and consequently of the current of ent generating this outgoing meaning, the shape of a rectangle therefore ideal. Hence the coil current flowing in steps, d. H. With rectangular shape modulated, so it rises based on a certain value, e.g. B. 0, jump to a certain increased value stops, stops this value for a certain time and also jumps out again return value. The respective distances of the stu fen in the on / off state in terms of time of the same length can be selected when wobbling Frequency changed.

You can therefore, without structural changes the existing pipes and piping systems to make, by attaching a Tube encompassing coaxial coil and by corre sponding action in the interior of the pipe generate high frequency electric field that on the dipole of the liquid acts and becomes one Crushing and smashing the particulate matter leads.

In a preferred development, the use of egg ner around the liquid to be placed piezo film considered advantageous.

The piezo film is synchronous and of the same frequency the alternating electrical fields, where  by a pressure wave inside the liquid and in sync with the electric alternate that arises. The crushing of the suspended matter is sustainably supported by this measure.

Another way to use the flammable liquid to apply the alternating electrical field, consists of a probe into which the liquid Introduce leading tube and one at its top high-frequency electrical alternating voltage gen. The tube is advantageously elek trically conductive and adjusted to the earth potential.

To remove the suspended matter from the flammable Liquid is recommended to follow in the direction of flow the coil one verse with a suitable pore size arrange that filter.

Further details, features and advantages of the Er can be found in the following description Take part of the exercise in the drawing an embodiment of the invention in more detail is tert. It shows in a schematic Cross-sectional representation of a section in axial Direction through a liquid to be treated leading pipe.  

The liquid ( 1 ) is located in the interior of a pipe ( 2 ) that serves as the conduit. The liquid ( 1 ) has suspended matter ( 3 ) preferably of crystalline form and flows through the tube ( 2 ) in the axial direction. The tube ( 2 ) consists of elec trically conductive material, so that a direct and immediate exposure to electrical alternating selfelder due to a short circuit and on the surface eddy currents from dissolving skin effect is thwarted.

In order to nevertheless entwirkli Chen in the sense of the invention necessary generation of high-frequency alternating electric fields in the liquid ( 1 ), a coil ( 4 ) is arranged coaxially to the tube ( 2 ), which generates a magnetic field inside the tube. To generate a high-frequency electrical alternating field, the coil ( 4 ) is acted upon by an alternating current. According to Maxwell's equations, a changing magnetic field induces an electric field, the magnitude of the amplitude depending on the derivative of the magnetic field over time, i.e. its dif ferential over time, so that the supply of current in a rectangular shape leads to a particularly pronounced emergence of the electrical alternating field. The frequency of this field is generated and depends primarily on the frequency of the alternating current given to the coil ( 4 ). During the application, a change in the frequency of the alternating electrical field, ie a wobble, is absolutely essential, the generation of which is carried out by changing the frequency of the current flowing through the coil ( 4 ).

Inside the tube ( 2 ), the components of the magnetic field which run essentially in the axial direction and change in their direction are shown as vectors ( 5 ). This changing magnetic field generates an electric vortex field, which is represented by reference number 6 and changes in its direction according to the frequency of the magnetic alternating field. As a result, the electrical dipoles have the molecules of the liquid accelerated in changing directions. It is crucial that by changing the alternating field in the interior of the tube ( 2 ), ie where the liquid ( 1 ) to be charged is located, the alternating electric field is originally generated.

The resulting eddy currents in the interior of the liquid due to the alternating electric field cause extensive destruction of the crystalline structures down to the smallest remaining and little contact surfaces for crystal growth particles, and at the same time a reduction in the surface tension by changing and breaking up the mainly chain-shaped cluster structures. There is a prevention of the formation, often a removal of existing deposits and a reduction in the diameter of the suspended matter contained in the liquid ( 1 ), representing crystallites, so that the mist of the combustible liquid ( 1 ) generated when injected into a combustion chamber has a significantly reduced drop diameter and the efficiency of an oil heater or an internal combustion engine is greatly improved.
