Description

SYSTEM FOR EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT USE OF FOSSIL FUEL IN AN INTERNAL

COMBUSTION ENGINE

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in an internal combustion engine, which renders combustion reactions efficient in a number of areas such as airplane engine and metallurgical industry, essentially internal combustion engines using fossil fuels, and enabling the reduction of carbon emission values after the combustion as well as the diminishment of carbon particle accumulation period.

STATE OF THE ART

The internal combustion engines create combustion by external ignition or by self-ignition, depending on the engine type, through spraying a mixture of fuel and air under high pressure and temperature in the combustion chamber.

The internal combustion engines are present in places where combustion reactions occur, in places where electric energy is produced by incinerating garbage in metal melting pots in the metallurgical industry and such similar places. In these places, generally, oxygen in the air taken from the outside environment is used. Oxygen is present in the air in a ratio of 21%. However, the level of oxygen diminishes under physical conditions such as altitude changes and air pollution, and the desired efficiency of combustion reactions cannot be achieved. A combustion reaction is a rapid reaction in chemistry, hence it has been accepted that the reaction will proceed easily in one direction.

The fuel efficiency in internal combustion engines is not at very high levels yet. For example, the efficiency of diesel engines is 50%, and the efficiency of steam engines is about 16%. In addition to the low efficiency acquired from the combustion chamber, the gases released outside seriously threaten nature. The demand for the removal of diesel consuming vehicles in Europe necessitates a tendency towards energy sources other than oil. Said invention has arisen in order to enable oil use, increase energy efficiency, and reduce the damage to the environment by the combustion reaction. The system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in the internal combustion engine of the invention has the feature of being an environmentalist invention by feeding, in a sense, the use of oil. A number of technology types have been developed on the utilization of the energy of carbonaceous fuel burned and released. Increasing carbonaceous fuel use day by day increases the fuel prices and starts to pose environmental threats in large cities. In particular, the use of vehicles has become widespread, increasing to levels where almost one vehicle is used for a few people. Thousands of systems have been developed for motor vehicles. In the prior art, the whole point is merely to handle the status of carbonaceous compounds in the form of plasma, i.e., the combustion process.

When used the same amount of fuel compared to the traditional system, it becomes possible to create more torque with the "intercarbon" system. With this system, the ratio of the amount of burned gas to the amount of unburned gas is increased and emission values are reduced. While getting these good results, deformations in the combustion chamber of the engine should be avoided.

In a number of places with a high price of fuel such as Turkey, some trucks or bus firms are seeking to acquire material gain by using waste oils. Although this application reduces the engine life, it makes the user profit. The same applies to LPG as well. Even the intercool and turbo systems reduce the life of the engine produced in the traditional sense.

Vehicle manufacturing companies do not prefer and avoid applying LPG and similar applications. For example, LPG conversion instead of gasoline in engines is an uprising to the current structure of use. LPG use is getting more and more widespread day by day. LPG and similar methods do not comply with the engine operating parameters in the vehicle. Therefore, this invention is a system that will benefit engine manufacturer companies and gasoline fuel traders.

In the state of the art, whether it is a turbo or an intercool system, there is widespread use of these systems, even if the engine is damaged by "knocking" physical damage by increasing oxygen in the fuel chamber.

Carbo-derived fuels are used in engines. Shortly, the combustion reaction takes place in the engine and the energy released therefrom is used. Unburned gases are released into the atmosphere and damage the environment. Therefore, the emission value should be kept low.

When gas emission values are high, vehicle taxes increase as well. The active substance in the burning event is oxygen. As the altitude gets higher and the air pollution in the city increases, the efficiency acquired from the vehicle engines decreases, the emission value increases, and the environment is destroyed more. Environmentalists are concerned about the damage caused by millions of vehicles to the world.

In the Intercool and Turbo systems used in the state of the art, it is aimed to accumulate more air in the combustion chamber by cooling and rapid air circulation, thereby acquiring high efficiency and high pressure. In the system of the invention, it is also aimed to have high combustion reaction efficiency and low carbon emission levels.

In the invention with the application number "TR2019/11944" and title "Ionization of air with plasma method in internal combustion engines", an ionizing generator is mounted on the front of the air suction pipe of the engine. As a result of the operation of the engine, it automatically absorbs air and creates a fuel-air mixture. With the passing of the air sucked by the engine through the ionizing generator, the oxygen is ionized and included in the combustion chamber of the engine. The invention mentions consequences such as the reduction of the emission value and the increase of engine efficiency. Therefore, the outcomes desired by using said method in the system of the invention of the application could not be reached, and a separate plasma technology has been used.

In the invention titled "Fuel Saving System" with THE application number "TR2019/12775", the internal combustion engines comprise a fuel-saving device, a control card, and a mosfet transistor enabling fuel-saving by spraying hydrogen onto the combustion chamber of the engine in the vehicles. This is enabled by means of the control card, the software therein, and the mosfet transistor. Therefore, in the system of the invention that is the subject of the application, by using equipment with different functions, fuel-saving has been achieved and a different method has been followed.

In the invention with the application number "TR2016/06130" and title "Fuel Saving System", hydrogen and oxygen atoms advancing in a separated condition within the gas outlet line are connected to the gas line in the water tank and moved to the air filter. Wet return is also used to prevent the vehicles from burning the hydrogen gas in the whole installation in case the flame coming out of the carburetor returns. The air filter sends the hydrogen and oxygen inside the vehicle from the vehicle suction manifold to the combustion chambers. The engine, which absorbs hydrogen and oxygen along with air from the combustion chambers, introduces a richer mixture. Thusly, it enables the saving of fuel consumption by increasing the combustion quality. Therefore, in the system of the invention that is the subject of the application, said method has not been used, but a method related to the transmission of hydrogen and oxygen molecules separately from each other has been used.

In the invention titled "Internal Combustion Engine for Saving Fuel and Reducing Exhaust Gas Emissions" with the application number KR20190047588 (A), it is aimed to generate active oxygen radicals, including oxygen atoms, through plasma discharge and supply them to the internal combustion engines of automobiles. Therefore, said method has not been used in the system of the invention that is the subject of the application, and instead plasma technology, a separate technology, has been used.

The system of the invention that is the subject of the application was an element of internal combustion engines that has been missing so far. At high altitudes, in environments with air pollution and as the life of the engine decreases, the vehicle cannot present required efficiency due to the inadequate use of oxygen and thusly more fuel is consumed and more environmental pollution occurs. The system of the invention that is the subject of the application, adds power to the vehicle by providing a clean working environment to the vehicle that prevents these and similar adverse conditions. By producing engines that are compatible with the system of the invention that is the subject of the application, high-level efficiency can be acquired, and it can present an economical and environmentally friendly solution by applying the same to the existing systems.

The essence of scientific studies is to enhance the engine efficiency and to reduce the emission values by increasing the combustion reaction; however, it differentiates from the function and the operation principle of the components of the system of the invention that is the subject of the application Moreover, as the expected results cannot be reached in said invention stated in the state of the art, the system of the invention that is the subject of the application has emerged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, preferred alternatives of the system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in the internal combustion engine of the invention are explained for a better understanding of the invention and without any restrictive qualities.

The system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in the internal combustion engine of the invention relates to the increase of the efficiency acquired from the engine with the addition of oxygen into the internal combustion engines, use of less fuel per unit distance, reduction of the carbon emission values after combustion, and diminishment of the carbon particle accumulation period. It aims to create a system to use more of the oxygen in the outside environment and to achieve the highest efficiency with an effective combustion reaction.

Technical remarks and explanations here are on internal combustion engines. Since there are many engine types and kinds, it is not possible to handle factors such as dimensioning and quantity in the technical drawing.

The system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in an internal combustion engine of the invention comprises an air filter (1) decontaminating the atmospheric air from pollutants such as dust and soil and cleaning the same; a compressor (2) sucking and pushing the air cleaned in said air filter (1); at least one air tank (3) trapping and storing the air coming from said compressor (2) before entering into the system; at least one three-way valve (4) enabling the passing of the air through said air tank (3); at least one molecular sieve (5) trapping the air coming from said air tank (3) as the nitrogen molecule (6) and oxygen molecule (8) and separating high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) thanks to the zeolite (7) therein; a nitrogen discharge outlet pipe (9) being present on one arm of said three-way valve and enabling the discharge of the nitrogen molecule (6) accumulated inside said molecular sieve (5); a manifold (13) creating an air mixture by combining air and high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) therein and feeding the air mixture into the combustion chamber; and unit connection channels (12) directly feeding the high-ratio oxygen (10) to the combustion chamber at the time of suction, preferably along with the air mixture coming from the manifold..

The operation principle of the system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in an internal combustion engine of the invention is such that: the atmospheric air decontaminated (filtered) from the pollutants such as dust and soil thanks to the air filter (1) is sucked and pumped by means of compressor (2), atmospheric air filtered within the air tank (3) is stored, the stored atmospheric air is transferred to the molecular sieve (5) through a three-way valve (4), nitrogen molecule (6) and oxygen molecule (8) are present in the molecular sieve (5) with zeolite (7) therein, nitrogen molecules (6) are accumulated on one side within the molecular sieve (5) with pressure, the accumulated nitrogen molecule (6) cannot pass through the zeolite (7) contained in the molecular sieve (5) due to being a large molecule, only oxygen molecule (8) can pass through the zeolite (7)- containing molecular sieve (5), the accumulated nitrogen molecule (6) is discarded from the nitrogen discharge outlet pipe (9) of the three-way valve (4), the high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) coming from within the molecular sieve (5) is passed to the manifold (13), the air coming from the standard air inlet (11), the other inlet of the manifold (13), is passed to the manifold (13), thusly air and oxygen mixture (8) is accumulated within the manifold (13), the air mixture accumulated within the manifold (13) is transferred to the combustion chamber or preferably, along with the air mixture coming from the manifold, the high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) coming from the molecular sieve (5) is directly transferred to the combustion chamber at the time of suction by means of the unit connection channels (12).

The air mixture enriched with the high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) coming from the manifold (13) and the unit connection channels (12), and the fuel coming from the fuel inlet (14) (air mixture + fuel) are sprayed onto the combustion chamber and the downward movement of the piston (16) is enabled. This is defined as the suction time. The air mixture enriched with a high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) and the fuel are compressed within the uprising piston (16). This is defined as the compression time. The spark plug (15) enabling the ignition provides the explosion by sending electrical energy, and the piston (16) moves downward. This is defined as labor time. With the upward movement of the piston (16) after the explosion, useless gases are sent to the exhaust (18). This is defined as the exhaust time. Finally, useless gases are discarded from the exhaust (18). It comprises an oxygen sensor (17) enabling the determination of whether the air-fuel mixture ratio taken into the engine is a rich mixture or a poor mixture.

In the system for effective and efficient use of the fossil fuel in an internal combustion engine of the invention, the tubes enabling the air push from the compressor (2) to the air tank (3) may be of desired numbers appropriate depending on need, design and engine type. It is necessary to distinguish said system from the vehicle-air support units formed based on the water filtering system or the air filter system installed in the industrial chimneys. A traditional water filter generally consists of three units that contain separation systems such as activated carbon, carbon filter, and zeolite. These systems can move with water and the zeolite diameter is large. However, it is necessary to use small- diameter zeolite to filter the oxygen in the air. In order to pass the air through the small- diameter zeolite (7) granules, the air should be sent from the compressor (2) pressurized. Therefore, in said invention, both the small-diameter zeolite (7) has been used and the compressor (2) has been used to deliver the air pressurized. The nitrogen molecule (6), which is approximately 71% in the air sent from the air tank (3), cannot pass through the zeolite (7) as it is a large molecule. Therefore, the nitrogen molecule (6) is discarded from the nitrogen discharge outlet pipe (9) by means of the three-way valve (4).

The air taken into the vehicle is passed through a structure called molecular sieve (5) and containing zeolite (7), and an instant high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) is output. By providing high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) obtained and the air mixture to the manifold (13) or by directly providing the high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) to the combustion chamber at the time of suction by means of the unit connection channels (12), along with the air mixture coming from the manifold (13), the ratio of oxygen is increased and thusly the combustion efficiency is enhanced. The intensity of the high airflow is acquired with mechanical force.

This invention relates to the increase in oxygen. By increasing the oxygen level and reducing the fuel amount, physical problems such as damage to the pistons in the engine are prevented.

Moreover, this invention achieves the same thrust with less fuel as it has high combustion efficiency and dynamic forces generate more torque with fast airflow. Using less fuel means saving in terms of money, i.e., it is economical.

A suitable engine can be produced according to the system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in an internal combustion engine of the invention, and also it can be used with an existing system with an additional system. It is possible to allow the use of the desired dose of oxygen with special software.

With the system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in an internal combustion engine of the invention, the intensity of the combustion reaction enhances, and the torque increases by increasing the speed of the turbulent airflow. To reduce this instant increase in the engine, by reducing the amount of fuel entering the engine, the power in normal engine operation is achieved. This indicates the industrial applicability of said invention.

There are a number of methods for producing oxygen. These are usually expensive. Oxygen production is carried out and applied in many fields. Although the present invention producing and using or storing and using the additional oxygen supplement is based on air filtration from the molecular sieve, it can also be carried out with a derivation of this system or other systems.

The atomic arrangement of the zeolite is perfect for separating oxygen from the air. In that, while nitrogen gas with larger molecules cannot pass through the zeolite, oxygen molecules in the 6A group can.

In the system for effective and efficient use of fossil fuel in an internal combustion engine of the invention the high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) that can be acquired by passing through the molecular sieve (5) is directly provided to the manifold (13), or together with the high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) and air mixture coming from the manifold (13), also preferably the high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) from a different channel, and the oxygen ratio in the combustion chamber of the engine is increased; thus, the fuel efficiency is increased and mechanical forces are formed. In addition, the reduction of emission values makes the system of the invention environmentally friendly.

The system of the invention is a system that enriches the air normally taken from outside to the internal combustion engines with oxygen, thereby creating effective combustion, increasing the combustion reaction efficiency, and applying an environmental approach by reducing emission values.

In the system of the invention, oxygen is acquired with the zeolite (7) within the molecular sieve (5) and oxygen is provided to the engine room together with the gas taken from outside. The goal here is to eliminate the possibility of insufficient oxygen in the external environment. It is aimed with the oxygen addition here to create a mixture with a high ratio of oxygen compared to the air taken from outside. In other words, the system of the invention is an arrangement that enables the air taken into the vehicle to be enriched with oxygen. Air is enriched with oxygen and provided to the engine.

The system of the invention uses in combustion reactions by enhancing oxygen with air mixture compared to normal air. In other words, it increases the operating efficiency of the engine by enriching the air mixture with oxygen, that is, by increasing the oxygen concentration.

Zeolite crystals are used in the system of the invention. Zeolite is acquired in pure form in nature or artificially in a laboratory environment. Zeolite is used to obtain oxygen in the system of the invention. Oxygen-enriched air can be supplied to the environments by taking advantage of the nitrogen-selective adsorption properties of zeolites. The oxygen obtained here can be given directly or by storage. The high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) obtained can be provided from the manifold (13) to the fuel chamber or directly into the fuel chamber through a separate channel preferably together with the air mixture in the manifold (13). As a result, it can be ensured that a high proportion of oxygen molecule (10) is provided to each fuel chamber through a separate channel or a single channel.

Nitrogen molecules (6) and oxygen molecules (8) are separated from each other thanks to the zeolite (7) contained in the molecular sieve (5). The separated oxygen molecule (8) provides the output of the high-ratio oxygen molecule (10). Therefore, high-ratio oxygen molecule and air (10) pass through the manifold (13) and reach the combustion chamber as an air mixture, or preferably together with the air mixture coming from the manifold, high-ratio oxygen molecule (10) directly reach the combustion chamber at the time of suction through the unit connection channels (12).

In the combustion chamber, oxygen-enriched air combined with the fuel provides ignition by the explosion. In this way, it aims to create an environmentally friendly system that reduces fossil fuel use, reduces emission value, and increases fuel efficiency.

The system of the invention can be designed as a completely independent working unit and can be applied to existing engines as well as serve as a unit of the engine with a special engine design.
