Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for treating a combustion reactant, such as fuel, for providing an efficient combustion of the reactant. The process includes applying an electrically polarizable material to a surface of a part of a fuel system for a combustion engine. Further, the process includes electrically polarizing the material applied on the surface for causing the material to become an electrically polarized electret. The process further includes contacting at least one reactant with the electrically polarized electret material prior to combustion of the reactant.
Claims35
A process for treating combustion reactants for providing an efficient combustion of the reactants, said process comprising the steps of:
- applying an electrically polarizable material to a surface of part of a fuel system for an internal combustion engine wherein said surface is one of an inner surface of an air filter housing, a surface of a valve a surface of a fuel injection jet, and combinations thereof;
- electrically polarizing the electrically polarizable material causing the electrically polarizable material to become an electrically polarized electret material;
- and
- contacting at least one of said reactants with said electrically polarized electret material prior to combustion of the reactants.
A process for treating a combustion reactant for improved combustion efficiency comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a part having a material surface contactable by said reactant prior to combustion of the reactant wherein said reactant is a fuel, an oxygen containing gas, or both;
- (b) electrically polarizing or charging the material of said material surface resulting in an electrically polarized or charged material surface wherein said material surface is a coating;
- and
- (c) contacting said reactant with said part.
An apparatus for improving the combustion of reactants including a fuel reactant and a gas reactant containing oxygen, said apparatus comprising:
- a combustion apparatus part for contacting one of said reactants prior to combustion of the reactants;
- and
- said part comprising a material in an electrically polarized or charged condition wherein said material is a coating applied to said part.
A process for the treatment of reactants wherein one of said reactants is a fuel and a second of said reactants is a gas containing oxygen, comprising the steps of:
- (a) applying a first material to a first surface wherein there is more than one surface;
- (b) electrically polarizing said first material on said first surface resulting in an electrically polarized first surface and hardening the first material;
- (c) contacting a first reactant with said hardened first surface, said first surface imparting to said first reactant a charge of one sign;
- (d) applying a second material to a second surface;
- (e) electrically polarizing said second material on said second surface resulting in an electrically polarized surface and hardening the second material, the second material having a polarity opposite that of the first material on said first surface;
- and
- (f) contacting a second reactant with said second surface, said second surface imparting to said second reactant a charge of opposite sign to said first reactant.
