Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2017041833A1] The present invention is directed to a method of enhanced combustion of hydrocarbon fuel by oxygen in an internal combustion engine wherein: - both oxidiser and a hydrocarbon fuel are introduced into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine; - optical energy is provided in the combustion chamber to the oxidiser- fuel mixture and/or reaction products of oxidiser/fuel mixing, using irradiation at one or more wavelengths greater than 200 nm and less than 310 nm and/or at wavelengths of at least 345 nm and at most 365 nm. Combustion apparatus that can be used in such a method of enhanced combustion is also described.
