Title:
PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR BURNING A LIQUID OR GASEOUS FUEL IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1987/007679
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Process and system for burning a liquid or gaseous fuel in the presence of air or another oxidizing agent, involving the use of water in the combustion chamber (12) of an internal combustion engine, in particular a reciprocating or rotary piston engine. To reduce the consumption of fuel and emission of pollutants, and to improve efficiency when using low-octane fuels, in particular regular grade petrol, or acetylene as the fuel, water is directly fed, in a quantity dependent on operation, into the combustion chamber (12) during one or several selected phases, especially throughout the entire operation, in such a way that a continuing "primary combustion" of fuel/air takes place just under the critical "Knocking" temperature (Tc), which at each point of combustion initiates a "secondary combustion" of the admixed water. The "secondary combustion" effects an entirely smooth continuing combustion inside the combustion chamber (12).
