Abstract
This invention relates to an internal combustion engine combusting hydrocarbon fuel having a lithium conditioned combustion chamber for reduced carbon oxide engine emissions. The condition chamber is formed by combusting therein a hydrocarbon fuel containing a lithium salt.
Claims9
In an internal combustion engine combusting hydrocarbon fuel, the improvement comprising:
- a lithium conditioned chamber for producing reduced carbon oxide engine emissions.
A method of combusting a hydrocarbon fuel, said method comprising:
- combusting a hydrocarbon fuel containing a lithium salt in a hydrocarbon powered engine to produce a lithium conditioned chamber in the engine;
- and
- combusting a lithium free hydrocarbon fuel in the conditioned chamber in order to produce a low concentration effluent gas, said low concentration effluent gas having a lower concentration of carbon oxides than an effluent gas from an engine without a conditioned chamber combusting the same lithium free hydrocarbon fuel.
A method of conditioning the internal combustion surface of an engine of a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle by combusting a hydrocarbon fuel, including lithium nitrate, to obtain an engine capable of providing an emission gas having a lower concentration of carbon oxides than obtained by combusting a hydrocarbon fuel under similar conditions in an engine not having a lithium conditioned surface.
