Abstract
What is proposed is an emulsifying system for an internal combustion engine, wherein the emulsifying system comprises an emulsifying device for producing a water-fuel emulsion and an injector for injecting the water-fuel emulsion in a combustion chamber, the emulsifying device being arranged within the injector. Also proposed is an emulsifying method for preparing a water-fuel emulsion for an internal combustion engine, wherein fuel is pressurized in a fuel pressure accumulator and water is pressurized in a water pressure accumulator and fed separately to an injector for injecting the fuel and water into an associated combustion chamber, and/or fuel and water are emulsified by means of an emulsifying device that is integrated into an injector.
Claims23
An emulsifying system configured for an internal combustion engine,
- wherein the emulsifying system comprises an emulsifying device configured to produce a water-fuel emulsion, and an injector or injection nozzle configured to inject the water-fuel emulsion into a combustion chamber,
- wherein the emulsifying device is integrated into the injector or injection nozzle, and
- wherein the injector or injection nozzle comprises a nozzle needle and the emulsifying system comprises at least one emulsifying channel extending helically about the longitudinal axis of the nozzle needle.
An injection system configured for an internal combustion engine,
- wherein the injection system includes a plurality of emulsifying systems configured to produce a water-fuel emulsion, a fuel pressure accumulator, and a water pressure accumulator,
- wherein the fuel pressure accumulator and water pressure accumulator are fluidly connected to all emulsifying systems,
- wherein each emulsifying system comprises an emulsifying device configured to produce a water-fuel emulsion, and an injector or injection nozzle configured to inject the water-fuel emulsion into an associated combustion chamber, with the emulsifying device being integrated into the injector or injection nozzle, and
- wherein each injector or injection nozzle comprises a nozzle needle and each emulsifying system comprises at least one emulsifying channel extending, helically about the longitudinal axis of the nozzle needle.
An emulsifying method for producing a water-fuel emulsion for an internal combustion engine,
- the method comprising:
- emulsifying fuel and water by an emulsifying device that is integrated into an injector or injection nozzle, the injector or injection nozzle being designed to inject the water-fuel emulsion into an associated combustion chamber, wherein a swirl is generated in at least one of the flow of the water and the fuel by means of at least one helical emulsifying channel around a nozzle needle of the injector or injection nozzle.
