example 1

[0053]Descriptions are made of examples and a comparative example of embodiments of the present invention.

[0054]First, 8 L of a water (tap water) was heated to 70° C., and an oxidation-reduction potential thereof was reduced to −114 my using a bath water reduction apparatus manufactured by Kangen Co., Ltd.

[0055]To 1.96 L of the reduced water, 5.88 L of an A heavy oil and 160 cc of an emulsifier were added, and after a primary agitation by a manual agitation, the resultant mixture was caused to pass through Nanomizer™ apparatus with a pressure 3 MP to be finely-divided and mixed, whereby an emulsion fuel of the present invention was produced.

[0056]The obtained emulsion fuel is a W / O type emulsion, and average diameter of the water in the emulsion was 300 to 500 nm.

[0057]The thus obtained emulsion fuel of the present invention was set to be Sample 2. The mixture liquid produced in the same way as in Sample 2 was caused to pass through Nanomizer™ apparatus with 8 MP to obtain an emulsi...

example 2

[0070]In this example, a diesel generator of 13ES-type manufactured by Denyo Co., Ltd. was used to successively measure the concentrations of nitrogen oxides and oxygen within an exhaust gas together with a power generation amount per unit heavy oil, whereby the power generation efficiency of the emulsion fuel of the present invention was measured.

[0071]As the emulsion fuel of the present invention, an emulsion fuel having a composition including 75 wt % of a Special A heavy oil, 24.7 wt % of a water, and 0.3 wt % of an emulsifier was produced and used.

[0072]To 8.33 L of the A heavy oil, 2.50 L of the water and 0.04 L of the emulsifier 0.04 L (100 parts by volume of the heavy oil: 29.7 parts by volume of the water: 0.5 parts by volume of the emulsifier) were added, and after a primary agitation by a manual agitation, the resultant mixture was caused to pass through Nanomizer™ apparatus with a pressure 3 MP to be finely-divided and mixed, thus the emulsion fuel of the present inventi...

Abstract

Disclosed is an emulsion-type water-mixed fuel which is free from separating between an oil and a water, thereby being excellent in stability, has a high combustion efficiency, and an extremely high energy-saving effect. An emulsion fuel, in which an average diameter of the water or the combustible oil is 1,000 nm or less (more preferably, average diameter is 200 to 700 nm), is formed by finely-dividing and mixing the water and the combustible oil by a finely-dividing and mixing means, while adding 10.0 to 150.0 parts by volume of the water with respect to 100 parts by volume of the combustible oil (more preferably, 25.0 to 120.0 parts by volume of the water with respect to 100 parts by volume of the combustible oil). Further, the water to be used preferably has a reduction potential of −100 my or lower, more preferably −300 my or lower.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to a water-oil emulsion fuel, and more particularly, to an emulsion fuel capable of contributing to energy saving and pollution control, and used as a fuel for various power engines or combustion furnaces.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]The reduction of an amount of oil usage due to a rise of a crude oil and in conformity with enforcement of Kyoto Protocol is a big issue all over the world. Under the circumstances, research on an emulsion-type water-mixed fuel have been made in Japan, and many patent applications relating to compositions and manufacturing methods have been filed. Some of those applications have been made into a practical use.[0005](Patent Document) JP 2006-329438[0006](Patent Document) JP 2006-188616[0007](Patent Document) JP 2005-344088[0008](Patent Document) JP 2004-123947[0009](Patent Document) JP 2003-113385[0010]As described above, various emulsion-type water-mixed fuels have been proposed.
