DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a treatment for improvement in utilizing of liquid fuel and more particularly to a method for increasing combustibility of gasoline.
BACKGROUND ART
A patent application Ser. No. Sho 52-38075, Pub. No. Sho 53-123403 entitled "Method for improvement in liquid fuel", has been filed in Japan by the present inventor in which proposed a method for increasing the combustibility of gasoline by several percents is proposed, the method comprising keeping gasoline for several days under a magnetic field of a predetermined intensity. However, it is a problem that the proposed method requires too much time to be practicable.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The invention as claimed is intended to solve the above problem and provide a method capable of instantly improving the combustibility of gasoline.
Assuming that oxygen in air, because it is highly paramagnetic, gradually dissolves into gasoline disposed under a magnetic field to improve its combustibility, the inventor has derived a method including a step of directly injecting oxygen gas into gasoline under a magnetic field to obtain the same effect as in the previous one, and repeated the test of direct injection of oxygen gas into gasoline, resulting in reaching the present invention.
The method of the invention comprises the step of directly injecting oxygen-containing gas into liquid fuel under a magnetic field to instantly improve its combustibility. Gasoline rests or flows inside a receptacle surrounded by permanent magnets of at least 700 gauss, preferably more than 2000 gauss magnetic flux density and is treated in a manner that oxygen gas of less than 1 volume-ratio to the gasoline at atmospheric pressure is injected from an oxygen source in a high-pressure cylinder into the gasoline in the receptacle. When both the treated and untreated gasolines are supplied to an engine to run it under a similar condition, the treated one has an improved combustibility to activate the engine at least 3% to 4% longer than the untreated one. The magnet can be disposed inside the receptacle to produce a magnetic field. The combustibility was not improved when the oxygen gas was injected into gasoline without the magnetic field. The gasoline, once treated for injection of oxygen gas under the magnetic field, sustains its improved combustibility for a long time, irrespective of being preserved with or without magnets after the treatment.
In comparison with the previous method requiring much time for treatment of gasoline, the inventive method is capable of instantly improving the combustibility of gasoline and has such advantages that gasoline is unnecessary to be preserved for treatment and that gasoline flowing in a pipe-line can easily be treated.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
