摘要 |
The present invention relates to a system and method for improving the combustion of diesel fuels within the combustion chamber of the engine. The invention is capable of reducing particulate matter emissions, nitrogen oxide emissions, and hydrocarbon emissions via electronically controlled injection of liquid solutions/emulsions containing water and a booster fuel into the intake air of a diesel engine. The booster fuel contained in the liquid solution/emulsion allows control of fuel ignition and enhances combustion causing a smooth thorough burning of the compressed mixture. Cooled air entering the combustion chamber allows the air exiting the combustion chamber to have an increased heat capacity. Increased heat capacity reduces flame temperatures within the cylinder. The combination results in a longer burn with a lower temperature and lower peak pressure in the combustion chamber. As a result PM, HC and NOx emissions are improved for a specified diesel engine power level.
