Description

[0001] FUEL SAVING AND CLEANING SYSTEM IN VEHICLES

[0002] Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to a system of fuel saving and cleaning operating by vapor method for cleaning the parts such as injectors, piston bearings, valve heads, catalysts, turbochargers, engines in motor vehicles in order to extend the service life of the engine and the said parts.

[0004] Background of the Invention

[0005] In the state of the art, there is no direct structure that, when included in the system, performs cleaning with the vapor method, thereby saving fuel and extending the service life. Instead, in cases of wear and tear of the engine mechanical parts due to time and usage, processes such as part replacement, honing and maintenance are applied. However, the said maintenance and repair processes cause financial losses and long maintenance and renewal periods. In this sense, there is a need for new applications or structures that provide fuel savings and extend the service life without requiring maintenance and repair processes.

[0006] In the patent and literature search conducted regarding the state of the art, the patent application titled "Method for Improving Fuel Efficiency of Vehicle and Exclusive Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Device Thereof filed before the US Patent Office with the number US9500123 B2 was identified. The said application discloses a method for improving the fuel efficiency of a vehicle, saving fuel and reducing emissions. In the said method, the process steps of collecting the oil in the engine and cleaning the oil vapor before returning to the engine are mentioned. However, the said application does not include the process step of obtaining the oil vapor and incorporating it in the process for continuous cleaning of the mechanical parts.

[0007] As a result, due to the above-mentioned disadvantages and the inadequacy of the existing solutions, it has become necessary to make a development in the related technical field.

[0008] Summary of the Invention

[0009] The present invention relates to a system of fuel saving and cleaning by the vapor method which meets the above-mentioned requirements, eliminates all disadvantages, and introduces several additional advantages. The invention is inspired by the current state of the art and aims to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages.

[0010] The main objective of the invention is to develop a system that enables cleaning of the parts of the vehicles, particularly the engines, injectors, piston bearings, turbochargers, catalysts, etc., and accordingly increases the service life of the said parts by approximately 50%. Thanks to the present invention, vehicle maintenance costs are reduced, and a significant economic advantage is achieved by saving fuel in vehicles with the evaporation system.

[0011] By means of the present invention, it is possible to achieve fuel savings ranging from 20% to 50% depending on the vehicle’s model, year, mileage, engine design and similar other variables.

[0012] In the present invention, since the vehicle will be continuously protected, the service life of the mechanical parts requiring maintenance due to conditions such as wear and tear is extended.

[0013] The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will be more clearly understood by the accompanying figures and the detailed description below written by referring to these figures, and therefore the invention should be evaluated taking into consideration the said figures and the detailed description.

[0028] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0029] In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the invention are described only for the purpose of facilitating a better understanding of the subject matter.

[0030] The present invention relates to a system operating by the vapor method for cleaning the parts such as injectors, piston bearings, valve heads, catalysts, turbochargers, engines in vehicles in order to extend the service life of the engine and the said parts. Figure 1 shows the general view of the invention. In the present invention, continuous cleaning of the mechanical parts in the vehicle is possible with the oil vapor included in the system. This way, it is ensured that the particle filters of the mechanical parts and the catalysts are continuously kept clean. This contributes to maintaining the emission values, and fuel saving is achieved by keeping the injectors and fuel components clean.

[0031] The system of the present invention is suitable for the engines (1) of vehicles such as automobiles, buses and minibuses. The said engines (1) can be gasoline or diesel engines. In the invention, at least one oil filter (2) is used in order to keep the fluid going to the system clean. The oil filter (2) filters the air-oil mixture fluid coming from the crankcase ventilation outlet. The system comprises at least one diaphragm pump (3) to enable the fluid therein to flow faster. By this means, it is possible to enable the fluid within the system to be drawn and to flow faster. Otherwise, the fluid will not be able to complete the cycle.

[0032] The system of the present invention comprises at least one oil expansion tank (4). The oil in the oil expansion tank (4) and the fluid included in the system are combined and the temperature thereof is increased to obtain oil vapor. The temperature is preferably increased to 150°C. The oil expansion tank (4) is controlled by the electronic control unit (11) (ECU). The pressure obtained in the system is also absorbed by means of the oil expansion tank (4). At least one speed adjusting valve (5) is used in the system of the present invention and is configured to adjust the speed of the oil vapor proceeding to the system. In this way, the speed is kept under constant control, high speed is prevented, and safety is ensured. At least one solenoid valve (6) is controlled by the electronic control unit (11) to transmit the system vapor that will return from the system to the engine (1) at the desired temperature. When the temperature of the engine (1) becomes suitable, the said solenoid valve (6) is used to switch on the system. Otherwise, the system cannot be switched off or controlled.

[0033] Currently, at least one check valve (7) is utilized to prevent the fuel going to the engine (1) from moving in the opposite direction from the system direction. In this way, it is possible to prevent the fuel from traveling in the direction of the system in the line leading to the mixture of the system fluid and fuel. A mixing tank (9) is used to ensure heterogeneous mixing of the vapor from the system and the fuel from the tank. Temperature control is also provided in the mixing tank (9). Otherwise, the fluid and fuel cannot be mixed and thus the final temperature cannot be measured. The mixing tank (9) includes at least one pressure reducer (8) to control the pressure of the said vapor entering the system. In this way, the pressure of the fluid is reduced.

[0034] The fuel tank (10) is normally the part in which the fuel contained in the vehicles is stored. The vapor obtained by means of the present invention fulfills its function upon spraying of the existing fuel mixture into the engine. The vapor coming from the said system ensures that the injectors remain clean at all times.

[0035] In the present invention, a mixture of 0-20 oil and atmospheric oil (heat transfer oil) is used as the fluid supplied to the system. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the said components are added in equal proportions by volume (50%-50%).

[0036] According to the system view given in Figure 1, when the temperature measured at the temperature measurement input (tl) in the vehicle reaches the desired temperature, the system is activated and starts to operate with the command sent to the diaphragm pump (3) and solenoid valve (6). At the same time, the temperature measurement input 3 (t3) heaters provided in the oil expansion tank (4) are used to keep the oil at a constant temperature. The temperature measurement input 2 (t2) provided in the mixing tank (9) continuously measures the temperature for safety purposes, and when it reaches an undesired temperature, it switches off all circuit elements and waits for cooling. The engine (1) continues to operate in a standard manner.
