Title:
DEVICE FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF COMBUSTION AIR FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1995/010702
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A device for improving the quality of combustion air for an internal combustion engine has a casing (1) formed into a box shape and of magnetic material. The casing (1) has an inlet port (5) at one end in a longitudinal direction and an outlet port (6) at the other end thereof with an air passageway (8) formed inside the casing for establishing a communication between the inlet port (5) and the outlet port (6), and is secured such that the outlet port (6) is connected to a suction line for combustion air for either an internal combustion engine or combustion equipment at a point along the length of the suction line. Permanent magnets (13) are secured inside the case in such a manner as to hold the air passageway (8) therebetween with the same polarities of the permanent magnets confronting each other, and shaft members (11) made of a magnetic material are erected in the air passageway. Furthermore, there are loosely fitted over each shaft member (11) a first cylindrical member (16) and a second cylindrical member (15) which are formed from metallic materials having different ionization tendencies and spaced from each other with a slight interval, these cylindrical members being caused to freely move by air flows passing through the air passageway. When an internal combustion engine is at idling, air is forced into the air passage from the inlet port (5) via a fan motor (30). An electromagnetic field is formed in the air passageway, and metallic ions from the cylindrical members are mixed into the air. In addition, oxygen in combustion air is changed into nascent oxygen by discharging.
