24 results about "Glowplug" patented technology

A glowplug (alternatively spelled as glow plug or glow-plug) is a heating device used to aid starting diesel engines. In cold weather, high speed diesel engines can be difficult to start because the mass of the cylinder block and cylinder head absorb the heat of compression, preventing ignition (which relies on that heat). Pre-chambered engines use small electric heaters (glowplugs) inside the pre-chambers. Direct-injected engines have these glowplugs in the combustion chamber. The glowplug is a pencil-shaped piece of metal with a heating element at the tip. This heating element, when electrified, heats due to its electrical resistance and begins to emit light in the visible spectrum, hence the term glowplug. The visual effect is similar to the heating element in a toaster. The fuel injector spray pattern then impinges directly upon the hot tip of the glow plug during the injection of fuel at top dead center. This ignites the fuel even when the engine is insufficiently hot for normal operation, which reduces the cranking time to start the engine.

In-engine hydrogen generation and associated internal combustion engine

By using water as fuel, the disadvantages of using hydrogen or gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons in known combustion engines are avoided. In the invention, the conversion of water into hydrogen and oxygen takes place solely within the combustion chamber of the combustion engine. As shown in Fig. 1, the water is conveyed from the tank (1) to the high-pressure pump (2) and pumped through an electrically insulated line (3) to an injection nozzle (4). The combustion chamber (10) consists of a cylinder (5) and, at its front, a cylinder head (6) with valves (7), an injection nozzle (4), and a glow plug / heating coil (9), as well as an opposing movable piston (8). The electrically insulated injection nozzle (4) located at the top is positively charged and charges the flowing water with a positive voltage. A high negative voltage is applied to the rest of the combustion chamber. In the combustion chamber, the upward movement of the piston creates gas compression with high temperature and high pressure.Into this atmosphere, the injection nozzle, controlled at very high pressure, injects positively charged water, which then evaporates. As soon as this vapor comes into contact with the rest of the combustion chamber, a current begins to flow, splitting the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The glow plug / heating coil (9) then ignites the oxygen / hydrogen mixture, causing it to explode, which pushes the piston downwards (expansion cycle), thus enabling mechanical work to be performed.
