DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device for treating fuel.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Hitherto, as shown in FIG. 7, a fuel treating device (1) wherein a pair of perforated plates (5, 6) are arranged in a container (2) having a fuel entrance (3) at one end and a fuel exit (4) at the other end and granular fuel treating materials (7) such as active carbon, zeolite, ceramics and the like charged between said pair of perforated plates (5, 6) has been provided to use for said fuel treatment. In said traditional fuel treating device (1), it is necessary to raise the charge density of said granular fuel treating materials (7) to increase the contacting effect between the fuel and said granular fuel treating materials (7) and in a case where the charge density of said granular fuel treating materials (7) is raised as above described, the pressure loss in said fuel treating device (1) may become so large that a high pressure is necessary to put the fuel into said fuel treating device (1).
Further, the effect of said traditional fuel treating materials such as active carbon, zeolite, ceramics and the like to treat the fuel may not be enough.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
As a means to solve the above described problems of said traditional fuel treating device, the present invention provides a fuel treating device (11, 21, 31) consisting of a fuel treating container (12, 22, 32) having a fuel entrance (14, 24, 34) and a fuel exit (15, 25, 35) and fuel treating material(s) (16, 26, 36) arranged movably by fuel flow in said fuel treating container (12, 22, 32).
The fuel in the present invention is such as light oil, gasoline, kerosene and the like, and as the arrangement of said fuel treating materials (16, 26, 36) in said fuel treating container (12, 22, 32), it is preferable that said fuel treating material (16) is molded into grain shape and a plural number of the resulting grain-shaped fuel treating materials (16) are separately arranged in said fuel treating container (12), or a plural number of perforated small containers (27) in which said grain-shaped fuel treating materials (26) are movably packed by said fuel flow are arranged in said fuel treating container (22), or said fuel treating material (36) is molded into propeller shape and one or more of the resulting propeller-shaped fuel treating material(s) (36) is(are) arranged in a fuel treating container (32) toward the upper stream of the fuel flow.
As said fuel treating material (16, 26, 36), ceramic block is a preferable material, prepared by dipping a ceramics in an aqueous solution of crystal produced by dissolving ferric chloride in a large amount of aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, neutralizing said an aqueous solution by aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, and concentrating said neutralized an aqueous solution, or dissolving ferrous sulfate in a large amount of an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid and concentrating said solution, or contacting a ceramics with the air passed through said aqueous solution of said crystal.
In said fuel treating device (11, 21, 31), a fuel is put into said fuel treating container (12, 22, 32) through said fuel entrance (14, 24, 34). Said fuel is treated by contacting said fuel treating material (16, 26, 36). Said fuel treating material (16, 26, 36) may be moved by flow pressure of said fuel in said fuel treating container (12, 22, 32) when said fuel contacts said fuel treating material (16, 26, 36) and said fuel may be agitated by said movement of said fuel treating material (16, 26, 36) and as a result, the contacting efficiency between said fuel treating material (16, 26, 36) and said fuel may be much improved.
In this case, when a plural number of said grain-shaped fuel treating materials (16) are separately arranged in said fuel treating container (12), said grain-shaped fuel treating materials (16) may roll and move in said fuel treating container (12) by the flow pressure of said fuel and said fuel may be agitated by said rolling or moving of said grain-shaped fuel treatin
