ABSTRACT:
This invention is an arrangement of mechanical components that humidify the intake air (specifically, the air that mixes with fuel for combustion) of an internal combustion engine, to increase combustion efficiency and reduce poison gas emissions. The components of this invention consist of a heat collector, air pump, humidifier and ducting tubes that connect the components forming a pressurized circuit of heated, humid air. Part of the embodiment of this invention is in the designed capacities of the components related to the engine to be served. Reasons and guidelines for this are given in the Summary of the Invention. A pressurized circuit to feed the combustion mixture of an engine is the crux of this system's function. It is the means to increase the mixture's density, in all the ranges of power demand by at least the volume of humidity that is introduced into the air stream. Let it be known that principles described herein apply to all internal combustion engines that use fuels of the hydrocarbon groups, such as gasoline, diesel or fuel oil but not to contain any form of alcohol such as gasohol. The research to date has been carried out on gasoline engines and the specific references usually indicate gasoline appliance, but it is not the intention to establish that limitation.
