VERFAHREN ZUM ADDITIVIEREN VON BRENN- ODER KRAFTSTOFFEN MIT FERROCEN

摘要

In this process for the addition of ferrocene to fuels or to petrols, improved metering of the ferrocene additive into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine or combustion installation is to be made possible. For this purpose, the sublimation properties of ferrocene are exploited by transferring the latter by means of sublimation into a stream of the combustion gas or a part stream thereof and feeding it together with the fuel or petrol present in fine distribution as solid or liquid particles or in the vaporised form to the chemical conversion by combustion. A preferred application is the charging of the combustion chamber of a diesel engine fitted with a diesel particle filter by means of a carrier gas stream enriched with ferrocene vapour in a sublimator.
