Field of the invention
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water/diesel fuel emulsions and particularly
to an installation and a process for preparing a water/diesel fuel emulsion.
Prior art
[0002] An emulsion is a stable dispersion of a fluid in form of extremely small droplets
or bubbles (dispersed phase) in another immiscible fluid (dispersing phase or carrier).
[0003] Its stability depends on the density of the two phases, on temperature, on the presence
of surfactants (emulsifying agents), and on the presence of electrolytes. Emulsions
belong to a wider class of two-phase systems called colloids.
[0004] A colloid is a substance in a finely dispersed state, intermediate between that of
a homogeneous solution and that of a heterogeneous dispersion. This "micro-heterogeneous"
state thus consists of two phases: a substance with microscopic dimensions (diameter
of 10
-9 m to 1 µm) dispersed in a continuous phase being in a physical state which determines
the macroscopic physical properties of the whole system.
[0005] Water/diesel fuel emulsions are fuels usable in Diesel cycle internal combustion
engines and in heating burners and have the purpose of reducing the presence of harmful
pollutants in exhaust gases and/or in stacks.
[0006] From the chemical point of view, water/diesel fuel emulsions are dispersions of extremely
small water micro-drops in the diesel fuel, stabilized by addition of specific surfactant
substances capable of stabilizing an emulsion (Pickering stabilizer).
[0007] Water/diesel fuel emulsions represent a modern technology for feeding diesel engines,
either installed on-board of vehicles or in fixed installations.
[0008] They are suitable for direct use in engines in place of traditional diesel fuel,
may be formulated with diesel fuels having very low Sulphur content and are compatible
with modern devices for emission reduction.
[0009] However, the emulsions available on the market up to now do not exhibit high stability,
high performance in terms of regularity, increased energy efficiency and improved
specific consumption.

Detailed description of embodiments of the invention
[0035] Referring to figures 1-2, an installation for preparing a water/diesel fuel emulsion,
according to the present invention, is identified by reference numeral 100.
[0036] The installation 100, in the embodiment shown in figures 1 and 2, has at least one
water feeding unit 1, at least one activator feeding unit 2, at least one diesel fuel
feeding unit 3, at least one pre-mixing tank 4 and at least one mixing device 5 downstream
of said pre-mixing tank 4.
[0037] Preferably, in the embodiment shown in figures 1 and 2, two mixing devices 5, in
parallel with each other, are present downstream of the pre-mixing tank 4. The water
feeding unit 1, the activator feeding unit 2 and the diesel fuel feeding unit 3 are
arranged downstream of the pre-mixing tank 4 and in fluid communication with the same.
[0038] The water feeding unit 1 comprises a first water tank 51, preferably made of stainless
steel, a water preheating unit, suitable for heating water in the tank 51 to a temperature
between 4°C and 40°C, preferably between 5°C and 35°C, at least one volumetric load
pump provided with at least one by-pass valve and a liter counter device, preferably
of the digital type for ensuring high measurement accuracy and repeatability.
[0039] The valves and pumps of the water feeding unit 1 are controlled by a control unit

of the proper operation thereof.
[0040] The diesel fuel feeding unit 3 comprises at least one delivery pump for delivering
diesel fuel to the pre-mixing tank 4, at least one filter suitable for eliminating
possible impurities which might enter into the pre-mixing tank 4 and pressure control
valves.
[0041] Preferably, the delivery pump for delivering diesel fuel to the pre-mixing tank 4

flow rate of 500 liters/min, a head of 25 meters, 1450 rpm, coupling by means of spider
and elastic joint, provided with an explosion-proof electric motor.
[0042] In the outlet duct of the diesel fuel feeding unit 3 a gauge for controlling temperature
may be present.
[0043] The diesel fuel feeding unit 3 further comprises at least one diesel fuel tank, not
shown in the figure, from which the diesel fuel to be sent to the pre-mixing tank
4 is drawn.
[0044] Also the unit 3 for feeding diesel fuel to the pre-mixing tank 4 is controlled by
the control unit 30.
[0045] The activator feeding unit 2 comprises at least one delivery pump for delivering
an activator to the pre-mixing tank 4, at least one activator tank 52, preferably
made of stainless steel, and an activator preheating device.
[0046] In the outlet duct of the activator feeding unit 2 to the pre-mixing tank a ball
valve may be present, preferably made of stainless steel, with wafer actuation and
driven by an electric actuator controlled by the control unit.
[0047] The activator preheating device may be of many kinds, generally known to a person
skilled in the art and thus hereinafter not further described in detail. The activator
preheating device allows the activator in the tank 52 to be heated to a temperature
between 15°C and 40°C, preferably between 20°C and 35°C.
[0048] As previously mentioned, the water feeding unit 1, the activator feeding unit 2 and
the diesel feeding unit fuel 3 are arranged downstream of the pre-mixing tank 4 and
in fluid communication with the same.
[0049] The pre-mixing tank 4, also preferably made of steel, has at least one delivery valve
for delivering the pre-mixed mixture of water, activator and diesel fuel to the mixing
device 5, and at least one nebulizing device 7, better shown in figures 6a, 6b.
[0050] Preferably, three delivery valves for delivering the pre-mixed mixture of water,
activator and diesel fuel to the mixing device 5 are present. These valves are arranged
in the lower part of the pre-mixing tank 4, preferably are of the ball type, are made
of stainless steel, have a wafer actuation, and comprise actuators controlled by the
control unit 30.
[0051] In the embodiment shown in figures 6a, 6b, the nebulizing device 7 comprises a central
body 13, at least one rotor 17 arranged inside the central body, a feeding duct 14
for feeding water to the central body 13 and four elements 15 which project radially
from the central body 13.
[0052] The nebulizing device 7 is arranged in the upper part of the pre-mixing tank 4 and
allows feeding the mixture of diesel fuel and additive contained in the pre-mixing
device 4 substantially uniformly and in form of a micro-rain.
[0053] To this end, the radially projecting elements 15 are configured as four angularly
staggered ducts departing from the central body 13.
[0054] The radially projecting elements 15 comprise a plurality of nebulizing nozzles, arranged
spaced apart from one another and extending from the free end of said radially projecting
elements 15.
[0055] In the embodiment shown in figures 1 and 2, a manifold 29 is present downstream of
the pre-mixing tank 4.
[0056] Two mixing devices 5 in parallel with each other and in fluid communication with
the pre-mixing tank 4 are present downstream of the manifold 29.
[0057] The manifold 29 acts as a decoupling chamber and allows avoiding that one of the
two mixing devices 5 takes fluid away from the other during intake.
[0058] Each mixing device 5 is configured as a tubular duct 9 extending along an extension
direction X-X, as better shown in figures 3 and 4.
[0059] The tubular duct 9 comprises at least one inlet, at least one outlet and at least
one first helical channel 10 arranged inside the tubular duct 9 for generating a turbulent
flow of the mixture of water, activator and diesel fuel inside said tubular element
9, along a helical path.
[0060] In detail, in the embodiment shown in figures 4 and 5 two helical channels, i.e.
a first 10 and a second 11 helical channel, are present, arranged in series to each
another and suitably separated by a first baffle 31 provided with holes.
[0061] The first 10 and the second 11 helical channels are formed in the inner walls of
the tubular duct 9.
[0062] Given a length L of the tubular duct, the first helical channel 10 extends in the
extension direction X-X by a dimension I
1 ≥ 0,05 L. Preferably, I
1 ≤ 0,75 L, even more preferably 0,1 ≤ I
1 ≤ 0,5.
[0063] The first 10 and the second 11 helical channels have opposite winding directions.
In other words, in the embodiment shown in figure 3, the first helical channel 10
has a right-handed winding direction, whereas the second helical channel has a left-handed
winding direction.
[0064] The second helical-channel 11, like the first one, extends in the extension direction
X-X by a dimension I2 ≥ 0,05 L. Preferably, I2 ≤ 0,75 L, even more preferably 0,1
≤ I2 ≤ 0,5.
[0065] Preferably, the first channel 10 and the second channel 11 have a cross section for
the passage of fluid s ≥ 7 mm, even more preferably s ≥ 9 mm. Advantageously, the
first channel 10 and the second channel 11 have a cross section for the passage of
fluid s ≤ 15 mm, preferably s ≤ 12 mm.
[0066] The first helical channel 10 has a distance d1 between two consecutive turns, measured
between two corresponding points of the two consecutive turns in a direction parallel
to the extension direction X-X, which is substantially constant. Preferably, d1 ≤
0,01L, in any case d1 ≥ 0,03L.
[0067] Similarly, the second helical channel has a distance d2 between two consecutive turns,
measured between two corresponding points of the two consecutive turns in a direction
parallel to the extension direction X-X, which is substantially constant.
[0068] Preferably, d2 ≤ 0,01L, in any case d2 ≥ 0,03L.
[0069] As previously mentioned, for making the fluid flow within the duct as turbulent and
irregular as possible, between the first 10 and the second 11 helical channels a first
baffle 31 provided with holes is provided.
[0070] The first baffle 31 is arranged transversally to the extension direction X-X downstream
of the first helical channel 10 and has a plurality of holes 33 arranged with an axis
of extension substantially parallel to the axis X-X.
[0071] The first baffle 31 radially extends about axis X-X so as to form a barrier to the
passage downstream of the first helical channel 10.
[0072] The fluid coming out from the first helical channel 10 is forced to flow through
the holes 33, having axes parallel to the axis X-X.
[0073] The holes 33 of the first baffle 31 are through holes and overall have a passage
cross section s3 in the range 2 mm ≤ s3 ≤ 5 mm.
[0074] Each hole 33 of the first baffle 31 has a passage cross section s4 preferably in
the range 0,05 mm ≤ s4 ≤ 0,2 mm.
[0075] The first baffle 31 may be interchangeable with another first baffle having a different
number of holes and a different size of the holes.
[0076] To this end, the first baffle 31 is mounted on a retaining ring 59, preferably made
of steel, removable from to the tubular duct 9.
[0077] In the embodiment shown in figures 3, 4, downstream of the second helical channel
11 a second baffle 32 provided with holes is present.
[0078] The second baffle 32 is arranged transversally to the extension direction X-X and
has a plurality of holes 34, also arranged with their extension axes substantially
parallel to the axis X-X.
[0079] The second baffle 32 radially extends about axis X-X so as to form a barrier to the
passage downstream of the second helical channel 11.
[0080] The fluid coming out from the second helical channel 11 is forced to flow through
the holes 34 having axes parallel to the axis X-X, before coming out form the outlet
element 35, as better described hereinafter.
[0081] Between the second baffle 32 and the outlet element an outlet chamber is thus formed,
defined by a portion of the tubular duct 9 and, at the axially outer ends, by the
second baffle 32 and by the outlet element 35.
[0082] Referring to the embodiment shown in the figures, the outlet chamber does not have
helical channels.
[0083] The holes 34 of the second baffle 32 overall have a passage cross section s5 in the
range 2 mm ≤ s5 ≤ 5 mm.
[0084] Each hole 34 of the second baffle 32 has a passage cross section substantially in
the same range of the passage cross section s4 of the holes 33 of the first baffle.
[0085] Upstream of the first helical channel 10 an inlet element 28 is arranged comprising
a tapered portion 27 at an end thereof and a plurality of holes 26 arranged with an
axis of extension substantially parallel to the axis X-X and adapted to let the inlet
fluid into the first helical channel 10.
[0086] The tapered portion 27 is arranged at the end of the inlet element 28 closest to
the first helical channel 10.
[0087] The tapered portion 27 thus has a conical surface with a plurality of through holes
26 formed in it.
[0088] Downstream of the second baffle 32 provided with holes an outlet element 35 is arranged,
better shown in figure 5, comprising at least one first blind wall 36 arranged transversally
to the extension direction X-X; and at least one second blind wall 37 staggered relative
to the extension direction X-X with respect to the first blind wall 36.
[0089] In the embodiment shown in figure 5, the first blind wall 36 has a substantially
disk-like shape, while the second blind wall 37 has substantially the shape of a circular
crown.
[0090] The first blind wall 36 is arranged concentrically relative to the second blind wall
37.
[0091] A cylindrical lateral wall 39 connects the first blind wall 36 with the second blind
wall 37. The outlet element 35 has a plurality of outlet channels 38 arranged radially
to the extension direction X-X.
[0092] Still referring to the embodiment shown in figure 5, the outlet channels 38 are arranged
on the cylindrical lateral wall 39 in rows parallel to the extension direction X-X
and angularly staggered on the same cylindrical lateral wall 39. As it comes out from
the holes 34 of the second baffle 32, the fluid is forced to collide, in order to
dissipate kinetic energy, against the first blind wall 36 and/or the second blind
wall 37 and to exit through the outlet channels 38.
[0093] Each mixing device 5 is connected downstream with an appropriate faucet for tapping
the emulsion and with a duct 40 adapted to form a closed loop with the pre-mixing
tank 4 for circulating the fluid through the mixing devices many times, in order to
obtain a stable emulsion.
[0094] The installation 100 described above allows a stable water/diesel fuel emulsion to
be prepared.
[0095] To this end, a predetermined amount of diesel fuel Qg is drawn from said diesel fuel
feeding unit 3. This amount of diesel fuel Qg is sent to the pre-mixing tank 4. Preferably,
Qg is comprised between 70 and 95 vol% of the emulsion to be prepared.
[0096] Immediately afterwards a predetermined amount of activator Qa is drawn from said
activator feeding unit 2 and sent to the pre-mixing tank 4. Preferably, Qa is comprised
between 0,5 and 3 vol% of the emulsion to be prepared. Even more preferably, it is
comprised between 1 and 2 %, extremes included. Preferably, the predetermined amount
of activator Qa is sent to said pre-mixing tank 4 only after the feeding of the predetermined
amount of diesel fuel Qg to the same tank 4 has ended.
[0097] At this point, a predetermined amount of water Qw is drawn and sent to the pre-mixing
tank 4.
[0098] Preferably, Qw is comprised between 5 and 30 vol% of the emulsion to be prepared.
Even more preferably, it is comprised between 7 and 20 %, extremes included.
[0099] Preferably, the predetermined amount of water Qw is sent to said pre-mixing tank
4 only after the feeding of the predetermined amount of activator Qa has ended.
[0100] Preferably, the water is demineralized water.
[0101] In order to distribute the predetermined amount of water Qw inside the pre-mixing
tank 4, it is nebulized in form of a very thin rain and distributed from above as
uniformly as possible.
[0102] The pre-mixed mixture of nebulized water, diesel fuel and activator is then sent
to a mixing device 5, after having flown through collector 29.
[0103] In the mixing device 5 the pre-mixed mixture of nebulized water, diesel fuel and
activator is made to move along a spiral path for obtaining a turbulent flow.
[0104] In detail, at the inlet of the tubular duct 9 the fluid is forced by means of a tapered
portion 27 to flow through a series of holes 26 suitable for reducing the speed thereof
and for determining a kinetic energy loss; subsequently the fluid is made to move
along a first helical path, which determines a turbulent flow according a helical
path, besides increasing the speed and thus the kinetic energy of the fluid.
[0105] As it comes out from the first helical channel 10 and thus from its helical path,
the fluid is in front of the first baffle 31 provided with holes and collides against
the latter loosing kinetic energy. The fluid is thus forced to flow through the holes
33 of the first baffle 31 provided with holes. In other words, the fluid coming out
from the first helical path undergoes a kinetic energy and speed loss caused by the
interaction with the first baffle 31 and the holes 33 thereof, arranged parallel to
the axis X-X.
[0106] As it comes out from the holes 33 of the first baffle 31, the pre-mixed fluid of
nebulized water, diesel fuel and activator is made to flow through a second helical
channel 1 1 for obtaining a turbulent flow along a helical path, for increasing again
the kinetic energy and speed of the fluid itself.
[0107] As it comes out from the second helical channel 11, the fluid is in front of a second
baffle 32 provided with holes and collides against the latter loosing kinetic energy.
The fluid is forced to flow through the holes 34 of the second baffle 31.
[0108] As it comes out from the holes 34 of the second baffle 32, the fluid is in front
of two blind walls, respectively 36 and 37, arranged substantially perpendicularly
to the extension direction X-X of the tubular duct 9.
[0109] The fluid collides with the first 36 and/or the second 37 blind wall, further loosing
kinetic energy, and is forced to come out from the tubular duct 9. The fluid is forced
to come out in a radial direction with respect to the extension direction X- X. In
detail, the fluid is forced by the blind walls 36, 37 to come out through the radial
channels 38.
[0110] In flowing through the tubular duct 9, which represents the mixing device 5, the
mixture of pre-mixed water, diesel fuel and activator enters at a pressure p1 and
comes out at a pressure p2, with p1 >p2.
[0111] Preferably, p1 is comprised in the range between 2 and 20 bar, extremes included.
Preferably, p2 is the room pressure.
[0112] In order to obtain an emulsion which is stable in time, the fluid is subjected to
the mixing cycle many times. To this end, as it comes out from the tubular duct 9,
the fluid is sent again, by means of the duct 40, to the pre-mixing tank 4, from which
it will be drawn so as to flow again through one of the mixing devices 5, after having
flown again through the manifold 29.
[0113] Preferably, the fluid is made to flow through a mixing device at least a number of
times between 4 and 12, preferably between 6 and 10, for example 9 times.
