Device for the reduction of toxic gases from exhaust gases of a highly effective explosion-limiting character - and internal combustion engines

摘要

A device for reducing toxic gases emissions of explosion and internal combustion engines while at the same time effecting a saving in fuel consumption, is disclosed. The device includes a hollow heat collector/filter unit having a plurality of air inlet openings and adapted to be mounted on the exhaust manifold in heat exchange relation therewith, a homogenizer unit defining two chambers separated by a perforated partition, of which the first chamber is adapted to be placed in communication with the outlet of the carburetor while the second chamber is adapted to be placed in communication with the intake manifold of the engine, and ducts establishing communication between the interior of the heat collector/filter unit and the second chamber of the homogenizer unit. In operation, the vacuum created by the engine pistons, sucks ambient air into the heat collector/filter unit from which the heated air travels to the homogenizer where it is intimately mixed in the second chamber with the air/fuel mixture coming from the carburetor. The final mixture thus has a greater burning capacity which will result in more fuel being burned and less carbon monoxide produced. This abstract is not to be taken either as a complete exposition or as a limitation of the present invention, however, the full nature and extent of the invention being discernible only by reference to and from the entire disclosure.
