Abstract
The device for reducing the fuel consumption of a heat engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, includes a substantially tubular induction member mounted around a pipe which carries the fuel, in order to create an electromagnetic field therein from an AC current received from an electric power source. The induction member includes a sleeve arranged to hold a winding of wire connected to an electric power source. The sleeve is housed in a tubular shell ensuring that the device complies with electromagnetic compatibility standards.
Claims8
A device for reducing fuel consumption of a heat engine, comprising:
- an induction member having a tubular shape so as to be mountable around a pipe with circulating fuel therein;
- and
- an electricity source being connected to said induction member so as to provide alternating current to said induction member for an electromagnetic field within said induction member,
- wherein said induction member comprises:
- a sleeve;
- at least one wire coil being around said sleeve;
- a connector attached to said at least one wire coil and connected to said electricity source, said at least one wire coil being connected to said electricity source through said connector;
- and
- a tubular shell, said sleeve being housed in said tubular shell,
- wherein said sleeve comprises:
- a first sleeve half-shell having a first sleeve semi-cylindrical central portion, a first sleeve end collar, and a first sleeve opposite end collar, said first sleeve semi-cylindrical central portion being between said first sleeve end collar and said first sleeve opposite end collar;
- and
- a second sleeve half-shell having a second sleeve semi-cylindrical central portion, a second sleeve end collar, and a second sleeve opposite end collar, said second sleeve semi-cylindrical central portion being between said second sleeve end collar and said second sleeve opposite end collar, said first sleeve half-shell being removably attached to said second sleeve half-shell so as to define a first half-shell closed position with at least one first half-shell longitudinal slit and a first half shell opened position with said first sleeve half-shell separated from said second sleeve half-shell, and
- wherein said tubular shell comprises:
- a first tubular half-shell having a first shell longitudinal edge with a first tubular half-shell central zone, and a first shell hinged edge;
- and
- a second tubular half-shell having a second shell longitudinal edge with a second tubular half-shell central zone, and a second shell hinged edge, said first tubular half-shell being hingedly attached to said second tubular half-shell so as to define a first tubular half-shell closed position with a first tubular half-shell longitudinal slit and a first tubular half-shell opened position with said first sleeve half-shell separated from said second sleeve half-shell, said first tubular half-shell central zone being aligned with said second tubular half-shell central zone in the first tubular half-shell closed position.
