Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a fuel combustion saving apparatus in which the amount of fuel to be consumed can be reduced and adverse effect of exhaust gas to the global environment can be reduced.

[0003] 2. Related Art

[0004] Prior to accomplishment of the present invention, the present inventor had invented an exhaust gas purification apparatus which was subsequently granted a Letters of Patent under Japanese Patent No. 3366249. This exhaust gas purification apparatus is designed to achieve purification of exhaust gas by discharging a high temperature exhaust gas into a low air pressure through a nozzle so that the temperature will be instantaneously lowered to generate a liquefying phenomenon in accordance with the theory of physics relating to change in air pressure and boiling point. The present invention has been accomplished on a basis of this theory. In case combustion is made in a low pressure under the same conditions, the temperature is naturally increased. The present inventor has applied this theory to the apparatus of the present invention at the time of combustion of fuel.

[0005] That is, if attempt is made to reduce pressure in a fuel combustion equipment of an internal combustion engine, the combustion temperature is raised. Thus, the amount of fuel to be combustioned is reduced as naturally calculated. Moreover, the amount of exhaust gas is also reduced. Fuel saving is important also from the viewpoint of saving of the natural resources.

[0006] The present invention has been accomplished in view of the above situation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] It is, therefore, a general object of the present invention to provide a fuel combustion saving apparatus which is capable of reducing the adverse effect of exhaust gas to the global environment and also capable of saving the fuel resources.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a fuel combustion saving apparatus capable of raising a combustion temperature by providing means for reducing air pressure in a combustion equipment of an internal combustion engine.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0009] FIG. 1 is a front view of an oil combustion part (simple sectional view of a combustion apparatus through a low pressure control).

[0010] FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a fuel combustion saving apparatus according to the present invention (oil combustion apparatus through a low pressure control [one subjected to experiment]).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

[0011] In FIG. 1, when air pressure in a combustion chamber (boiler) 1 is reduced during operation, the temperature is raised but when air pressure is increased, the temperature is lowered. This theory will be readily understood. When the air pressure is increased, the temperature is lowered. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a power generating steam; 3, a water tank; 4, a water filling port; 5, a barometer; 6, an air pressure lowering air discharge port; and 7, an oil filling port meter, respectively. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 8 denotes a cooling air inlet port; 9, a burner kerosene port; 10, a combustion air port; 11, an air discharge port; and 12, a gas discharge port, respectively. In order to remove soot contained in the exhaust gas generated as a result of fuel combustion in the boiler 1 of FIG. 1, the exhaust gas is temporarily allowed to pass through a water tank and then brought into a discharge tube which is of the same type as the discharge tube 1 of FIG. 1 in an exhaust gas purification apparatus of Japanese patent No. 3366249.

[0012] It requires a high degree of technique to reduce the air pressure in the combustion chamber 1 during operation and result of the experiment indicates that this theory is rather difficult to understand. So we are herewith providing one actual example obtained as a natural phenomenon. The TV often broadcasts a scene of the bottom area of the deep sea. Since this area is most likely very close to magma, the sea water bubbling up seems to be very hot. However, the sea water is actually not very hot. The reason is as follows. The pressure of the sea water in the very deep area is 1 air pressure on a basis of 1 m. Therefore, the air pressure at the bottom area of the deep sea is very large. Since the temperature is very low according to the afore-mentioned physical phenomenon, sea animals such as clubs, lobsters, and prawns can live happily there. From this fact, it can be understood that if the air pressure in the combustion chamber is reduced, the temperature is raised, but if the air pressure is increased, the temperature is lowered.

[0013] Combustion efficiency is enhanced by reducing the air pressure in a fuel combustion part of an internal engine beforehand. That is, if the combustion temperature is increased higher than the temperature for generating a normal pressure, the amount of fuel to be combustioned is, as a matter of course, reduced because there is no change in temperature required. On the other hand, since the amount of fuel to be combustioned is reduced, the amount of exhaust gas generated as a result of fuel combustion is reduced. Thus, exhaust gas can be purified extensively and natural resources can be saved.

[0014] Although the present invention has heretobefore been described in the form of one preferred embodiment, the invention is, by no means, limited to the embodiment. Instead, many changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
