[0001] The invention relates to an internal-combustion engine, more particularly, to a magnetization
fuel-economizing device for an automobile fuel engine.
[0002] In order to reduce the fuel consumption to improve combustion, there existed a method
for fuel magnetization. This method causes the fuel to flow through a magnetization
device for fuel so as to improve the dispersed property and atomization level of the
fuel which will bring about the fuel to combust sufficiently, thus to realize the
aim of fuel saving.
[0003] The Chinese utility model application filed under n° CN-A-2120189U discloses a magnetization
fuel economizer shown as Fig. 1, for an internal combustion engine, said economizer
comprising a housing (1) having a longitudinal through cavity, a tube connector (6,
7) possessing a flared flow passage and being hermetically disposed in each of the
two ends of said through cavity whereby each tube connector is adapted to communicate
with a fuel supply pipe, a magnetization cavity disposed perpendicular to the through
cavity with two permanent magnets (2, 3) disposed in it with the magnetic poles of
said magnets opposed each other whereby the greater dimension of said flared flow
passage is directed towards the center of said longitudinal through cavity and whereby
the interval between the two permanent magnets forms a fuel passing gap having a width,
said width being measured in a direction perpendicular to the axis of said longitudinal
through cavity and perpendicular to said opposed magnetic poles, and, in addition,
a magnetic filter cavity arranged to communicate with said longitudinal through cavity
and disposed parallel to the magnetization cavity with a permanent magnet (4) in the
magnetic filter cavity. The advantage of this utility model is that the permanent
magnets have a higher magnetic energy product and a higher inherent coercitive force,
which will cause fuel to combust sufficiently and to increase the output power of
the engine through forming a stronger magnetization effect without having to superimpose
a static electrical field. Meanwhile, the contents of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons
reduce, and the iron magnetic materials in the fuel will be less accumulated in the
magnetic filter cavity by means of the adsorption of the magnet in this cavity.
[0004] However, in this utility model, the arrangement of these permanent magnets cannot
form a closed magnetic circuit, which will influence the intensity of magnetic field.
Therefore, there exists still a need to further increase the intensity of magnetic
field so as to improve the magnetization for the fuel.
[0005] An object of the invention is to provide a new structure of the magnetization fuel-economizer
to improve the above mentioned structure, which can form a closed magnetic circuit
in the fuel-economizer, thus to increase the magnetic field intensity and to further
improve the magnetization effect of the fuel with the results that a high combustion
efficency of the fuel can be obtained ; hence the output power of the engine may be
enhanced to realize a fuel saving and a exhaust gas clean up. Meanwhile, the magnetic
field intensity of the magnetic filter cavity can be increased enough such that the
iron magnetic materials suspended in the fuel can be totally adsorbed on this cavity
and do not jam up the cavity again.
[0006] The present invention provides in combination that said fuel gap has a width of 0,5-2,0
mm, and that the other ends of said opposed magnetic poles of said two permanent magnets
in said magnetization cavity are provided respectively with magnetic circuit sheets
to form a closed magnetic circuit, and that the one end of said permanent magnet in
said magnetic filter cavity is provided with a magnetic circuit sheet and the other
end of said permanent magnet is opposed to a magnet circuit sheet disposed on the
wall surface of said magnetic filter cavity, said wall surface being in use the bottom
surface of said magnetic filter cavity, thus to form a fixed fuel passing gap between
said permanent magnet and said magnetic circuit sheet, and to form a closed magnetic
circuit.
[0007] In comparison with the prior art, since the application of the fuel-economizer of
the structure having magnetic circuit sheets according to the invention, it is possible
to form a closed magnetic circuit in the fuel-economizer, also to enhance the instrumental
magnetic field intensity and the magnetization efficiency of fuel, thus to realize
the aim of fuel saving and exhaust gas clean up.

embodiment of the invention.
[0008] The invention will be described in the following through its embodiments with reference
to the accompagning drawings, in which the same part is denoted by the same reference
numeral.
[0009] As shown in fig. 2, housing is denoted by the reference numeral 1, which is made
of aluminum alloy. The housing 1 has a longitudinal and circular through cavity, and
the inner walls of the two ends of the cavity are formed with inner threads. The housing
1 has formed on it a magnetic filter cavity and a magnetization cavity, and the two
cavities are all perpendicular to and communicated with the longitudinal cavity. The
two ends of the through cavity are joined hermetically with tube connectors 13 and
14 respectively. The tube connectors are made of aluminum alloy or brass. The inner
flow passage of the tube connectors is shaped as one end to be a flare expanded outwardly
and to connect with the fuel-economizer, and the other portion of the tube connector
formed as a straight tube communicates with a fuel supply pipe, a carburetor or a
fuel injection pump.
[0010] The magnetization cavity is a circular hole perpendicular to the through cavity,
with two permanent magnets 3 and 4 disposed in it with their magnetic poles opposed
each other. A fuel passing gap with a width of 0.5
~ 2.0 mm (measured in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the longitudinal through
cavity and perpendicular to the opposed magnetic poles) is formed between permanent
magnets 3 and 4, which may oppose each other with the N pole to N pole, or S pole
to S pole, or N pole to S pole, and have the magnetic circuit sheets 7 and 8 disposed
on the other ends of the opposed magnetic poles of the magnets 3 and 4 respectively,
so that a closed magnetic circuit is formed.
[0011] The magnetic filter cavity is a stepped hole communicating with the longitudinal
through cavity of the housing 1 and the surface of the housing 1. A permanent magnet
2 is mounted in the magnetic filter cavity with one end of the magnet provided with
a magnetic circuit sheet 6 and the other end of the magnet opposed to a magnetic circuit
sheet 5 disposed on the undersurface of the magnetic filter cavity, thus to form a
closed magnetic circuit. A fixed fuel passing gap is formed between the permanent
magnet 2 and the magnetic circuit sheet 5. In this embodiment, the gap is of a width
(measured in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the longitudinal through cavity)
of about 1
~ 5 mm, and preferably, 2
~ 3 mm. The magnetic circuit sheet 5 is mounted in a recess of the housing on the wall
surface of the magnetic filter cavity which may be realized though a shrink fit and
a compression bonding of an industrial gelatin. The wall surface is in use the bottom
surface of the magnetic filter cavity.
[0012] Since the magnetic circuit sheets of the aforesaid type are applied in the magnetization
cavity and the magnetic filter cavity, closed circuits of high intensity magnetic
field are formed, which will enhance greatly the magnetization effect of the fuel
in the fuel circuit and achieve a notable effect of fuel saving and exhaust gas clean-up.
[0013] In this embodiment, the permanent magnets 2, 3 and 4 are made as cylindrical bodies
from a material of NF30 with diameters and heights all in the range from 6 mm to 80
mm. The inherent coercive force of each permanent magnet is in the range of 18 000
000
~ 20 000 000 ampere per meter (18 000-20 000 oersteds). After magnetizing by means
of a conventional art, the magnetic field intensity of the N-pole face is in the range
from 0,40 to 0,52 tesla (4 000 to 5 200 gausses).
[0014] In this embodiment, magnetic circuit sheets 5, 6, 7 and 8 are in shapes of circular
disks or cylinders with diameters from 6 to 80 mm and thicknesses or heights from
0.3 to 10 mm, and all can be made from magnet conductance material such as iron DT4
of the industrial purity level or silicon steel sheet.
[0015] During the operation of a fuel engine, the fuel passes through the fuel supply pipe
into the double cavity magnetization fuel-economizer. When the fuel flows through
the fuel passing gap formed between the permanent magnet 2 and the magnetic circuit
sheet 5 on the bottom of the magnetic filter cavity, the area passed by the fuel flow
changes abruptly, and the flow rate of fuel changes suddenly from slowness to fastness,
thus the fuel flow form substially turbulences. The molecular group structures of
the fuel under the turbulent state are in collision and friction with each other and
turn, from a relative stable state to a metastable state under the influence of molecular
Brownian movement. Under the action of premagnetization of the closed magnetic circuit
formed by the permanent magnet 2 in the magnet filter cavity with magnetic circuit
sheets 5 and 6, the molecular groups under metastable state are broken up partially,
the fuel particules tend to be finer and dispersed, and the iron magnet particules
suspended in the fuel are adsorbed totally on the permanent magnet 2, which purify
the fuel. The fuel flowed out from the above mentioned fuel passing gap moves through
the longitudinal through cavity of the housing into the fuel passing gap formed between
the permanent magnet 3 and 4 the magnet poles of which are opposed to each other.
Now, the area passed by fuel flow in this gap changes from small to big, and again
suddenly becomes very small, and the fuel which has been in a high speed turbulent
state is again influenced intensively by a high density magnetic force line in the
closed magnetic circuit formed by permanent magnets 3 and 4 as well as magnetic circuit
sheet 7 and 8. Thus the molecular groups of metastable state are further broken up
massively, the viscosity and density of the fuel are reduced, the fuel particules
become smaller and easier to be dispersed, the level of fuel atomization is enhanced
and the condition for fuel to combine with oxygen has been improved remarkably, so
that the fuel can be combusted more sufficiently ; therefore the output power of engine
can be increased and the exhaust gas is cleaned up.
[0016] During assembly, the magnetic circuit sheets 7 and 8 are first attached respectively
on the other ends of the opposed poles of permanent magnets 3 and 4, then the permanent
magnets 3 and 4 are disposed in the magnetization cavity, a round block 10 is fixed
on the magnetization cavity and sealed through on adhesive to prevent from leakage.
The fuel passing gap between permanent magnets 3 and 4 should have a width in the
range of 5
~ 2.0 mm. Once the tube connectors 13 and 14 mounted, then the magnetic circuit sheet
5 is compression bonded through a shrink fit in the recess on the bottom of the magnetic
filter cavity.
[0017] Then, the permanent magnet is inserted into the magnetic filter cavity, so that a
pole opposes to the magnetic circuit sheet 5, and a step restricts the magnet 2 in
a certain position such that the fuel passing gap between magnetic circuit sheet 5
and the magnetic pole is of a width preferably in the range of 2
~ 3 mm. Finally a cavity cover 9 is screwed down to seal and to bond the cover.
[0018] When the magnetization fuel-economizer according to the invention is mounted on an
engine, the connection position is somewhat different due to the kind of engines.
When it is mounted on a gasoline engine, the fuel inlet is connected with a fuel supply
pipe of gasoline pump, and the fuel outlet is connected with a carburetor and is preferably
mounted directly on the carburetor. When it is mounted on a diesel engine, the fuel
inlet is connected with the fuel outlet tube of the filter, and the fuel outlet is
connected with the fuel injection pump and is preferably mounted directly on the fuel
inlet of the fuel injection pump.
[0019] Fig 4 and 5 show respectively the second and third embodiments according to the invention.
They are multi-fuel circuit fuel-economizer respectively, and are suitable for large
internal engines of large tonnages automobiles, tractors, locomotives and ships.
[0020] Fig. 4 shows a multi-cavity magnetization fuel-economizer, which has in its longitudinal
through cavity disposed three or more magnetization cavities arranged vertically,
an parallelly to each other, in these cavities there are many pairs of permanent magnets
with magnetic circuit sheets. The arrangements of permanent magnets and magnetic circuit
sheets are the same as in embodiment 1. Disposing many pairs of permanent magnets
is used for repeatedly magnetizing the fuel to increase the magnetization effect.
[0021] Fig. 5 shows a multi-fuel circuit magnetization fuel-economizer. There are arranged
a plurality of parallel through cavities along the longitudinal direction in the housing
of the economizer. Each end of the through cavities is connected with a common inlet
and outlet tube connector of the fuel tube and each through cavity has many pairs
of permanent magnet with magnetic circuit sheets arranged as in the embodiment 2.
This kind of fuel-economizer is especial for the magnetization of fuel in large internal
combustion engine.
[0022] By comparison with the prior art, the fuel-economizer according to the invention
has the following advantages.
1. A closed magnetic circuit has been formed in this fuel-economizer by the application
of industrial purity iron or silicon steel sheet, which greatly enhances instrumental
magnetic field intensity with the magnetic field intensity in the magnetic filter
cavity being increased by 50 % and that in the magnetization cavity being increased
by over 10 % so as to greatly improve the magnetization effect for the fuel.
2. The application of two or more intensified stages magnetization process has a superposition
effect, which may sufficiently develop the magnetization effect of high magnetic energy
product and high magnetic field intensity of permanent magnets to the fuel so as to
render a further fuel saving and a reduction of the emission of harmful substances.
The experiments and practices show that by the invention, a fuel saving rate of 10
% ~ 25 % may be realized ; CO and HC reduces respectively 20 % ~ 80 % with CO reducting by 35 % in average and by 80 % at a maximum, HC reducing by
30 % in average and by 80% at maximum ; and the smoke density reduces by over 20 %.
3. The magnetic filter cavity has an instrumental magnetic field intensity up to 0,6
tesla (6 000 gausses) which can be used not only to magnetize the fuel for the first
stage but also to adsorb iron magnetic particules in the fuel effectively so as to
protect effectively the permanent magnet in the magnetic filter cavity from accumulated
iron magnetic substances.
