Device for treating / decomposing fuels

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for treating / decomposing fuels, which comprises a housing having an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The fuel enters the device through the inlet opening and exits the device through the outlet opening. The housing encloses a housing interior in which internal structures are arranged that deflect and swirl the fuel flow several times. Furthermore, a magnetic field, preferably originating from a permanent magnet, acts on the interior of the housing. The multiple deflections and swirls of the fuel flow favourably increases the duration of the effect of the magnetic field on the fuel. As a result, the effect resulting from the diamagnetisation of the fuel is improved.

Description

[0001]Device for processing / decomposing fuels Description The invention relates to a device for processing / decomposing fuels. Various devices for processing fuels are known. For example, document DE 202010011818 Ui discloses a vortex chamber system for improving the quality of liquid and / or gaseous hydrocarbons. It is also known that magnets are arranged on fuel lines, which cause diamagnetization and thus alignment of the hydrocarbon molecules in the fuel. The object of the present invention is to process liquid and gaseous fuels in such a way that the carbon chains of the hydrocarbons are shortened, and accordingly the fuels react better with oxygen and are thus more ignitable and burn more efficiently. The object of the invention is achieved with the features of the independent claim.The device according to the invention for processing / decomposing fuels comprises a housing with an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The fuel enters the device through the inlet opening and exits the device again through the outlet opening. The housing encloses an interior space in which internal structures are arranged that repeatedly deflect and swirl the fuel flow. Furthermore, a magnetic field, preferably emanating from a permanent magnet, acts on the interior space. The multiple deflections and swirls of the fuel flow increase the duration of the magnetic field's action on the fuel. As a result, the effect resulting from the diamagnetization of the fuel is improved. The internal structures have edges that cause turbulence due to the deflection.This turbulence causes the carbon chains of the fuel to split and thus shorten, allowing the fuel to react better and with more oxygen. Since the oxygen molecules are paramagnetic, they also experience a strong magnetic force due to their orders of magnitude higher susceptibility, which creates additional paramagnetic radicals during the complex reaction process. Accordingly, the fuel burns more ignitiably, efficiently, and with fewer residues. Advantageous embodiments of the device according to the invention are disclosed in the subordinate claims. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the housing comprises two interconnectable housing parts, and the inlet opening and the outlet opening are arranged opposite one another in a central region of the housing. The housing is preferably rotationally symmetrical.The central area of ​​the housing is the area that extends along the longitudinal axis of the housing from the inlet opening to the outlet opening. Hau->n›rz-4r-1477r) -nni 4 PCT / DE2024 / 000099 By separating the two housing parts from each other, the internal structures can be easily inserted and, if necessary, cleaned or replaced. The internal structures preferably comprise at least one first deflection element, wherein the first deflection element is disc-shaped and arranged transversely to the flow direction of the inlet opening opposite—i.e., in the central region. The flow direction is defined by the direct connection between the inlet opening and the outlet opening.The outer edge of the first deflection element is set back from the boundary of the housing interior by the housing, so that the fuel flow from the inlet opening hits the first deflection element, is subsequently deflected radially outwards and flows in the axial direction between the outer edge of the first deflection element, which is set back from the inner boundary of the housing, and the boundary of the housing interior. Due to the deflection of the fuel flow upon impact with the disc-shaped first deflection element and during the second deflection at the edge of the outer edge of the first deflection element, the carbon chains of the fuel are split and thus shortened, so that the above-mentioned advantages occur. According to an improved embodiment of the device according to the invention, it is provided that the internal structures further consist of at least one second deflection element.The second deflection element is also disc-shaped, oriented transversely to the flow direction, and arranged at a distance from the first deflection element. In contrast to the first deflection element, however, the second deflection element extends to the boundary of the housing interior, so that the fuel flow is deflected again in a radial direction towards the central region after flowing around the first deflection element. At least one passage opening is provided in the central region of the second deflection element, so that the fuel flow is deflected again and flows through the passage opening of the second deflection element. The combination of several first and second deflection elements results in advantageous multiple deflection of the fuel flow, so that the carbon chains of the respective fuel are split and shortened accordingly.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a plurality of first deflection elements and second deflection elements are arranged in series, alternating one after the other, with a first deflection element being arranged after the inlet opening and before the outlet opening. This provides a sensible arrangement of the deflection elements. According to an advantageous development of the invention, at least one guide element, preferably to, is arranged on the first deflection element and / or on the second deflection element, with the guide elements extending obliquely outwards from a central region opposite the inlet opening. The guide elements give the fuel flow an impulse and accordingly deflect it from the radial direction in the circumferential direction of the deflection elements, so that a spiral flow is formed. This results in an advantageous additional change of direction and thus deflection of the fuel flow.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the guide elements are curved. The curved guide elements advantageously deflect the fuel flow at the edge of the deflection elements almost in the circumferential direction. The curved guide elements preferably have the curvature of a Fibonacci spiral. The Fibonacci spiral is important for the natural swirling of liquids and the greatest possible effect on the body and the surrounding space. The positive effect of the Fibonacci spiral principle has been implemented with the invention. If the liquid is allowed to flow through the internal structures designed as a vortex chamber, a double helix structure is created at the outlet, which ensures an optimal fundamental resonance of the molecules. This optimal fundamental resonance also contributes to a positive influence on the reaction process during combustion.According to an advantageous development of the invention, the guide elements are arranged on both sides of the first or second deflection element. Accordingly, the other deflection element can be designed cost-effectively without guide elements and thus as a simple disc. Preferably, the first deflection element is designed with guide elements arranged on both sides. According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the guide elements arranged on the first deflection element protrude beyond the outer edge of this deflection element. Preferably, they extend as far as the housing, so that the position of the first deflection elements is advantageously fixed in the housing. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a connecting element is arranged in the central region of the at least one first and the at least one second deflection element, wherein the first and second deflection elements can be plugged onto the connecting element.For this purpose, the deflection elements are provided with a corresponding through-hole. A deflection element can also be permanently connected to the connecting element. The connecting element connecting the deflection elements advantageously secures them and simplifies assembly. Haun-; - 2r12-4E-1477n1-1-=! e - 7 PCT / DE2024 / 000099 According to an advantageous development of the invention, the permanent magnet is arranged in the central region of the at least one first or second deflection element. Accordingly, the permanent magnet can be arranged in an advantageous position and, at the same time, integrated into the connecting element in a space-saving manner. It is also advantageously provided that several permanent magnets are integrated into the housing. This advantageously amplifies the magnetic field and thus increases the diamagnetic or paramagnetic effect on the fuel flowing through the internal structures. The permanent magnets are preferably designed as high-temperature magnets. Due to the high temperature resistance of the permanent magnets, the device according to the invention can be exposed to high temperatures and can thus advantageously be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the internal combustion engine.Accordingly, the effect of the magnets and the internal structures on the fuel is maintained until immediately before injection. According to an advantageous development of the invention, the drain opening is designed as a drain pipe and / or the inlet opening as an inlet pipe. Accordingly, the housing is advantageously designed with a tubular connection. On the one hand, a fuel hose can advantageously be plugged onto the pipe. If necessary, the pipe connection and the fuel hose are designed with corresponding quick-release fasteners (e.g., bayonet and screw closures). This allows the device according to the invention to also be installed in lines with higher fuel pressure (e.g., downstream of the injection pump). At the same time, this enables simple and cost-effective integration into the fuel system. Hau n›-m-,n2g-041477gni-H..9PCT / DE2024 / 000099 Accordingly, the invention covers a broad field of application, particularly for use in vehicle engines, combined heat and power plants, and boilers, at relatively low cost. Particularly advantageously, the outlet pipe is conically tapered. In particular, the conical taper is designed with a hyperbolic profile. This advantageously ensures that the velocity of the fuel flow is gradually increased, which has a positive effect on the effect of the downstream Venturi nozzle. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a Venturi nozzle is arranged in the outlet pipe. On the inner circumference of the Venturi nozzle, supply openings are provided, which enable the supply of air, water, additives, and / or another fuel, such as hydrogen. The supply opening is preferably annular.This advantageously ensures that water, hydrogen, and / or other substances that have a positive effect on fuel combustion can be added evenly and thoroughly mixed to the fuel stream. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the Venturi nozzle is provided with a galvanic coating, in particular with a copper coating, and / or is finely porous and / or is formed with a PTFE membrane. On the one hand, the copper coating increases wear resistance and thus the longevity of the Venturi nozzle. On the other hand, these materials prevent contamination by microorganisms (e.g., bacteria) and can thus prevent damage to the combustion system. Haun›- n1 -, 11:)<-4n4:77r11-1-4,.pt—r-1019 PCT / DE2024 / 000099 Due to the fine-pored design of the feed openings, the additives can be fed in a very well distributed manner in the Venturi nozzle. The invention further provides an arrangement for the processing / decomposition of fuels. According to the invention, at least one device for the processing / decomposition of fuels according to one of the preceding claims is arranged in a fuel line leading to an internal combustion engine or a boiler. The device for the processing / decomposition of fuels is preferably arranged as close as possible to the combustion chamber in order to allow the advantageous effects provided by the invention to take effect during combustion with as little reduction as possible. The invention is illustrated with reference to figures and described in more detail below.1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a device for processing / digestion of fuels. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first deflection element with guide elements and of a second deflection element as an exploded view. FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a first deflection element with guide elements according to FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a modified device for processing / digestion of fuels with a Venturi nozzle arranged in a drain pipe. The FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a device for processing / digestion of fuels. The housing 1a, 1b of the device for processing / digestion of fuels consists of two interconnected housing parts 1b. The housing parts 1b can, for example, be screwed together. In the housing parts. Haun - 1 -4(-1477ri -H , et, - nr.12n PCT / DE2024 / 000099 lb an inlet opening and an outlet opening are provided through which the fuel to be treated flows into the device as fuel flow K and flows out of the device again. The housing parts lb enclose a housing interior in which, according to the invention, the effective internal structures, which are designed here as deflection elements and as guide elements, are arranged. The disc-shaped deflection elements are plugged onto a connecting element arranged in the central region 1c of the housing lb. A permanent magnet is integrated into the connecting element.As the perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the internal structures in the figure shows, the fuel flow K entering through the inlet opening first encounters a first disc-shaped deflection element, is deflected by it in the radial direction and is then deflected further in the circumferential direction of the first disc-shaped deflection element by the arc-shaped guide elements connected to the first deflection element. The fuel flow K is then further deflected at the outer edge 5a of the first deflection element, with the fuel flow K passing between the outer edge 5a of the first deflection element and the inner boundary of the housing 1a. The fuel flow K then encounters a second disc-shaped deflection element which is arranged at a distance from the first deflection element and is shown here at a greater distance from the first deflection element due to the exploded view.In fact, the second disc-shaped deflection element rests against the guide elements connected to the first deflection element. The fuel flow K is deflected in the radial direction by the second deflection element and the arc-shaped guide element and ultimately guided to the central region 6z of the second disc-shaped deflection element, where the fuel flow. Haun›- ni - PCT / DE2024 / 000099 K passes through the passage opening 6a of the second deflection element arranged in the central region 6z in the axial direction. This is preferably followed by a first deflection element, as can be seen in Figure 1. The arrangement of the first and second deflection elements can be continued in an alternating sequence. The last deflection element is preferably a first deflection element, after which the fuel flow K flows around the outside and enters the drain opening, which is designed here as a drain pipe. The course of the fuel flow K when it hits the first deflection element is once again illustrated in the cross-sectional view in Figure 1. Finally, the fuel flow K deflected in the circumferential direction passes between the first deflection element and the housing part 1a in the axial direction to the second deflection element. As shown in Fig.As can be seen, after the fuel flow K passes between the first deflection element and the housing part 1a, a change of direction occurs which results on the one hand from the orientation of the guide elements and on the other hand from the fact that in the central region 6z of the second deflection element there are passage openings 6a for the fuel flow K between the spacer webs 6b. With the spacer webs 6b as spacers, the second deflection element is pushed onto the cylindrical connecting element and thus fixed. Here the cylindrical connecting element is firmly connected to the first deflection element. It is equally possible for all the deflection elements to be pushed onto the connecting element. A first deflection element (not shown) is preferably arranged below. As a result of the multiple deflection, the carbon chains of the fuels are separated according to the invention, thus shortened and. Haurr›-ni->n›g-4r-1477tzni-H"PCT / DE2024 / 000099 thus advantageously enable a better reaction with oxygen during combustion, for example in an internal combustion engine. After the deflection elements have flowed around or through, the fuel flow K enters the drain opening, which is designed here as a drain pipe, as shown in the figure. A hose can be pushed onto the drain pipe, which leads, for example, to an internal combustion engine (not shown). A strong permanent magnet is arranged in the connecting element, which, through a diamagnetic / paramagnetic effect, causes the hydrocarbon chains and the oxygen molecules of the fuel to align. The carbon chains of the fuel thus offer more opportunities to form bonds with oxygen, thereby increasing the ignitability and efficiency of combustion. Furthermore, permanent magnets are arranged in the housing part 1a, as shown in the figure.The figure shows, on the left, the device for processing / decomposing fuels, essentially known from Fig. 1. The outlet pipe has a modified design here. Following the active internal structures known from Fig. 1 with the disc-shaped deflection elements and curved guide elements, there is an outlet section 3a of the outlet pipe. The outlet section 3a has a hyperbolic longitudinal cross-section. The gradual cross-sectional reduction starting from the area of ​​the internal structures results in the fuel flow K being increasingly accelerated. This allows the Haun2 -- ni->n,g-4r-1477ni 9 e — PCT / DE2024 / 000099 effect of the downstream Venturi nozzle 12 can be amplified. At the same time, the fuel flow K rotates in the outlet section 3a as a result of the excitation by the guide elements. A Venturi nozzle 12 is connected to the outlet section 3a. In the Venturi nozzle 12, one or more supply openings 14 are arranged on the inner circumference, which enable the supply of air, water and / or hydrogen to the fuel flow K by means of a supply connection 13. A circumferential slot-shaped supply opening is particularly advantageous. By supplying air, water or hydrogen to the fuel flow K, it can be advantageously ensured that these additives have a positive effect on combustion, since these additives are mixed into the fuel flow in a well-distributed manner. The additives optimize combustion and thus significantly improve emissions behavior.Furthermore, the significantly improved combustion process also shows reduced wear behavior in the entire drive system.
