摘要

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for recovering water from the exhaust gases of a vehicle diesel engine by capillary condensation with subsequent reuse of the water to produce a fuel-diesel / water emulsion by multi-stage high pressure homogenization for diesel diesel engine. The exhaust gases are thereby diverted into a condensation section, in which the pressure is increased and the temperature is lowered in an air / gas cooler. In the condenser, which is equipped with a register of porous tubes, part of the water vapor contained in the gas is separated from the gas by capillary condensation. In the further course of the process, the recovered, pure, salt-free condensate is mixed with diesel oil and processed in a two-stage high-pressure homogenizer to a fine fuel diesel / water emulsion and forwarded to the high pressure pump of the diesel engine for feeding the common rail system. The advantageous technology of this invention makes it possible to operate diesel engine-powered vehicles with fuel-saving and pollutant-reducing diesel oil / water emulsions independent of an external supply of emulsions or water
