DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of automobiles. In particular, the present disclosure pertains to a discharge emission control device, system and method for increasing combustion efficiency with improved atomization in internal combustion (IC) engines while simultaneously reducing pollution.

BACKGROUND
[0002] An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine. The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, rotor or a nozzle. This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical energy. Internal combustion engines are those having an intake stroke, a compression stroke, a power stroke, and an exhaust stroke, either as separate strokes (four-stroke) or combined (two-stroke) events) may be divided into two general types: spark-ignited and compression-ignited (e.g., diesel).
[0003] The overall efficiency of an internal combustion engine depends, among other things, on the amount of fuel that can be burned in a cycle. In the recent years, a large number of systems have been proposed for improving the combustion efficiency. One approach has been to increase the oxygen concentration in the air/fuel mixture, but there are major disadvantages to this technique; the increased oxygen concentration increases the peak temperature in the combustion chamber, and thereby increases the emissions of unwanted nitrogen oxides. Another proposed approach has been to decrease peak temperature and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by adding water, usually water vapour, to the combustion chamber. This approach also has disadvantages; in particular, it can result in less complete combustion and thus increase the emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
[0004] Also, in recent years, environmental considerations have had an increasing effect. For example, the air/fuel mixture fed into the engine is typically adjusted to prevent complete combustion so that the catalytic convertor will be able to reduce emitted nitrogen oxides to a level that satisfies air emission standards. However, since such an adjustment prevents complete combustion, it results in increased emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
[0005] A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device that converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine to less toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (an oxidation and a reduction reaction). Although catalytic converters are most commonly applied to exhaust systems in automobiles, they are also used on electrical generators, forklifts, mining equipment, trucks, buses, locomotives and motorcycles. They are also used on some wood stoves to control emissions. This is usually in response to government regulation, either through direct environmental regulation or through health and safety regulations. A catalytic converter has to be changed every 100000/120000 km in order to be efficient. It is important to recycle this part of the car.
[0006] Catalytic converters are used with internal combustion engines fuelled by petrol (gasoline) or diesel-including lean-burn engines as well as kerosene heaters and stoves. In 1995, Alpina introduced an electrically heated catalyst. Called "E-KAT," it was used in Alpina's B12 5, 7 E-KAT based on the BMW 750i. Heating coils inside the catalytic converter assemblies are electrified just after the engine is started, bringing the catalyst up to operating temperature very quickly to qualify the vehicle for low emission vehicle (LEV) designation. BMW later introduced the same heated catalyst, developed jointly by Emitec, Alpina and BMW, in its 750i in 1999. Catalytic converters normally require temperature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit (426 C) to efficiently convert harmful exhaust gases into inert ones, such as carbon dioxide and water vapour. So, first catalytic converters were placed close to the engine to ensure fast heating. However, such placing caused several problems, such as vapour lock. As an alternative, catalytic converters were moved to a third of the way back from the engine, and were then placed underneath the vehicle.
[0007] However, most of the existing catalytic converters available today in the market utilize post-combustion catalytic converter technology. Post-combustion catalytic converters are located near the engine’s discharge manifold (in the exhaust line) to reduce emissions after combustion in the engines. The converter heats up quickly, due to its exposure to the very hot discharge gases, enabling it to reduce undesirable emissions during the engine warm-up period.
[0008] Apart from the above recited technical issues/problems available in the existing catalytic converters, some of the additional issues noted/observed are as provided below:
i. The engine uses more energy for the existing catalytic converters for burning the elements thereby causing decreased horsepower of the engine.
ii. The existing catalytic converters slow down the circulation process of the emissions leading to a higher consumption of fuel thereby reducing the fuel mileage.
iii. Due to the requirement of the existing catalytic converters from the additional need to burn more may cause engine overheating.
iv. The existing catalytic converters causes long work of the engine idling (engine idling i.e., running a vehicle's engine when the vehicle is not in motion).
v. The existing catalytic converters are inefficient due to deviation from the optimum ratio of air-fuel mixture.
[0009] Thus, it may be appreciated in view of the above and other existing issues of the existing catalytic converters that there still remains a need for a mechanism that enables both an increase in the amount (e.g., percentage) of the fuel burned per cycle, and a simultaneous minimization of the amounts of hydrocarbon pollutants, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide emitted and the like pollutants emitted for increasing combustion efficiency with improved atomization in internal combustion (IC) engines.

In particular, the present disclosure pertains to a discharge emission control device, system and method for increasing combustion efficiency with improved atomization in internal combustion (IC) engines while simultaneously reducing pollution.
[0018] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a complete combustion technology emission control device (also interchangeably referred to as “Power O2” or “power O2”) that generates oxygen enriched air (OEA) from atmospheric air. When atmospheric air is trapped inside the hot cavity of metal adopter (Power O2), the heated air reacts with the metallic alloy and converts into an enriched mixture of oxygen. The OEA generated inside the adopter is injected through a metal braided hose into the air intake pipe of cars/ Bus/ Trucks through air cleaner by a nozzle. The positioning of nozzle set in such a way that the OEA is positioned at a ventury point to make a trajectory for suction of maximum oxygen enriched air and is directed towards the nearest to the air intake manifold (air suction hole) of the engine .This oxygen enriched air helps in the complete combustion.
[0019] An aspect of the disclosure relates to an apparatus/device/system (also interchangeably referred to as “emission control device”) having a metallic body that includes an inter-metallic compound bed on inner surface, a gripping mechanism that binds/attaches/grips the apparatus/device/system with/on discharge manifold/pipe of an automobile, an input port for receiving hot air/gases along with metallic air filter, and an output port that emits oxygen enriched air mixture to supply the oxygen enriched air mixture to the air filter of the vehicle.

[0022] In an aspect, the specific diameter and/or variations of length of various sizes associated with the nozzle injector can be dependent on a distance at the suction port of engine/ engine intake from the point where oxygen enriched air mixture intake takes place from the input port elbow (where the nozzle injector is connected on air tight threaded inner thread matching outer thread of nozzle injectors) attached with flexible pipe which is used to establish a trajectory for induction of more volume of oxygen enriched air mixture to engine and/or carburetor/ throttle body for atomization of maximum volume of fuel for much better combustion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the disclosure depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are in such details as to clearly communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
[0043] The embodiments explained herein relate to a portable or plug-and-play apparatus/device/system (interchangeably referred to as “emission control device”) having a metallic body as an annular case with a central opening into which an discharge pipe is inserted/enclosed, and a tightening member movable between a tightening location where the tightening member tightens on an outer circumferential surface of the discharge pipe and a disengagement location where the tightening member does not impose pressure on the outer circumferential surface of the discharge pipe, the tightening member being an annular member and being disposed in the inner region of the circumferential surface of the case and reasonably combined to the annular case.
[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the portable apparatus/device/system is connected at the top or at any side of the air filter assembly/system. The metallic air filter acts as a barrier between the intake system and the ambient air required for fuel combustion. It may be appreciated that, the emission control device can be connected/fixed at the top or side as per requirements. The emission control device is positioned in such a way that the nozzle injector from where the oxygen enriched air is being sucked, is faced towards the suction port /center straightaway for optimum /better suction.
[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the portable apparatus/device/system can receive air (air suction) when the vehicle in stationery (idle condition)/motion/moving. When the engine starts, the air is sucked, the air gets heated due to heated discharge pipe in proximity on which the device is clamped. Due to the hot air suction and passage of the hot air from the portable apparatus/device/system, an inter-metallic compound bed on inner surface gets heated and emits an oxygen enriched air mixture which can be passed to the engine for optimum combustion. Simultaneously the device is also gets heated through conduction and convection, which thereby helps in the activation of the inter-metallic compound of the device.
[0046] In an embodiment, a pre-determined optimum gap between the inter-metallic compound bed on inner surface of the portable apparatus/device/system and the discharge pipe is maintained such that air passes through the pre-determined optimum gap and sufficiently heats the inter-metallic compound bed so as to provide oxygen enriched air mixture which can be passed to the engine for optimum combustion.
[0047] Referring now to FIG. 1, wherein an exemplary schematic arrangement of a proposed emission control device 102 is disclosed. As shown, the proposed portable or plug-and-play apparatus/device/system 102 (interchangeably referred to as “emission control device 102”) can be gripped on the discharge manifold/pipe 104 of any automobile 100 having an IC engine. The proposed portable or plug-and-play apparatus/device/system 102 is an external attachment having no direct connection with engine, engine parts or components, and without alteration to the design of the engines.
[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, although the proposed portable or plug-and-play apparatus/device/system 102 is applied on the exhaust/discharge manifold/systems in automobiles 100 as shown in FIG. 1, they can also used on electrical generators, forklifts, mining equipment, trucks, buses, locomotives and motorcycles.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, the proposed portable or plug-and-play apparatus/device/system 102 (hereinafter referred to as “device 102”) can be connected to a suction air filter 108 using a flexible pipe 106. In an embodiment, the device 102 comprises two sides i.e., outer side 114-A and inner side 114-B (as shown in FIGs. 2A, 5, & 6). In an exemplary embodiment, the device 102 operates as an emission control device and acts as a barrier between the intake system and the ambient air required for fuel combustion. In an exemplary embodiment, the air filter 108 can be a device composed of metallic compound which removes solid particulates such as dust and mould from the air. Such filtered air is received by the proposed portable or plug-and-play apparatus/device/system 102.
[0050] FIGs. 2A-B illustrates various components of the proposed emission control device 102. In an embodiment, the proposed emission control device 102 is gripped on to exhaust/discharge manifold of a vehicle and comprises a catalytic converter/inter-metallic bed that increases/enhances atomization/oxidation of air/gases resulting in “oxygen enriched air”/ “oxygen enriched air mixture” which is supplied to suction port of the engine, in order to reduce engine emission and increase fuel efficiency of the vehicle.
[0051] As shown, the proposed emission control device 102 can include an output port 110, connected to the air filter/ suction port 108 using the flexible pipe 106, to receive oxygen enriched air mixture, a first semi-cylindrical part 112-A connected to said output port 110, a second semi-cylindrical part 112-B operatively connected with said first semi-cylindrical part 112-A such that the first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and the second semi-cylindrical part 112-B forms a opening for enclosing the exhaust manifold/pipe 104, and an inter-metallic compound bed 114-B is at an inner surface of the first semi-cylindrical part 112-A.
[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and the second semi-cylindrical part 112-B forms an annular case with a central opening into which an discharge pipe is inserted/enclosed, and a tightening member 120 (shown in FIG. 4) movable between a tightening location where the tightening member tightens an outer circumferential surface of the exhaust pipe and a disengagement location where the tightening member does not impose pressure on the outer circumferential surface of the exhaust manifold/pipe 104, the tightening member being an annular member and being disposed in the inner region of the circumferential surface of the case and reasonably combined to the annular case. In an example, said first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and said second semi-cylindrical part 112-B has a tightening member 120 connected to its body.
[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, said first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and said second semi-cylindrical part 112-B can be a metallic clamp with two nuts, spring washers and bolts enabling the fitting of the proposed emission control device 102 by gripping on the exhaust manifold/pipe 104.
[0054] FIG. 2A illustrates an exemplary perspective view of the proposed emission control device when vehicle is stationary and engine is off, and FIG. 2B illustrates an exemplary perspective view of the proposed emission control device when vehicle is stationery/moving/mobile and engine is on. It may be appreciated that, the emission control device, i.e., power O2 pre-combustion technology, works in all types of I.C engines including vehicles even when the engine is on idle condition and vehicles are stationary.
[0055] In an embodiment, when the vehicle is stationary and engine is off the proposed emission control device 102 is non operative (as shown in FIG. 2A), whereas when the vehicle is moving/ stationery (as shown in FIG. 2B), the engine is operational and accordingly the air filter/ suction port 108 connected to said first semi-cylindrical part 112-A receives air, filters the received air and passes the filtered air to the engine. Simultaneous with the filtered air, the proposed emission control device 102 also receives an air 116 from atmosphere (also interchangeably referred to as “natural air 116”), against the direction of the vehicle, which gets heated due to heating of the exhaust manifold/pipe 104, resulting in “oxygen enriched air”/ “oxygen enriched air mixture, which also goes to the engine.
[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, when the heated air 116 passes through the proposed emission control device 102 and comes in contact with the inter-metallic compound bed 114-B coupled at the inner surface of the first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and accordingly gets hot due to heated air 116. Once the inter-metallic compound bed 114-B which is at the inner surface of the first semi-cylindrical part 112-A gets heated it results in oxygen (O2) 118 (also interchangeably referred to as “oxygen enriched air 118”) and the oxygen enriched air mixture 118 created/generated is passed/supplied to engine (not shown) for combustion. FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary view of passage of oxygen enriched air mixture 118 supplies to the engine, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0057] It may be appreciated that, oxygen enriched air mixture 118 is available or generated only when natural hot air 116 is passed through the hot inter-metallic compound bed 114-B.
[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, the inter-metallic compound bed 114-B can include a combination of copper and zinc along with some traces of other metals such as but not limited to tin, manganese, Lead, molybdenum, palladium, nickel, in some percentage. In another exemplary embodiment, the inter-metallic compound bed 114-B can be composed of different types of non-ferrous metal atoms, which exist as homogeneous, composite substances and differ discontinuously in structure from that of the consistent metals.
[0059] In an embodiment, the inter-metallic compound bed 114-B on inner surface of the portable apparatus/device/system 102 and the discharge pipe 104 are separated by a pre-determined optimum gap “D”, such that air passes through the pre-determined optimum gap and sufficiently heats the inter-metallic compound bed so as to provide oxygen enriched air mixture which can be passed to the engine for combustion.
[0060] In an embodiment, the inter-metallic compound bed can be present in a slot provided on an inner surface of the portable apparatus/device/system. In an exemplary embodiment, the slot on the inner surface acts as a trapping means which enables to trap the air as it passes through the pre-determined optimum gap so as to sufficiently heat the inter-metallic compound bed so as to provide the oxygen enriched air mixture which can be passed to the engine for combustion.
[0061] FIGs. 4-6 illustrate different views of the proposed emission control device, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0062] As shown in FIG. 4, in an exemplary embodiment, the first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and the second semi-cylindrical part 112-B forms an annular case with a central opening into which an discharge pipe is inserted/enclosed, and a tightening member 120 (shown in FIG. 4) movable between a tightening location where the tightening member tightens an outer circumferential surface of the exhaust pipe and a disengagement location where the tightening member does not impose pressure on the outer circumferential surface of the exhaust manifold/pipe 104, the tightening member being an annular member and being disposed in the inner region of the circumferential surface of the case and reasonably combined to the annular case. In an example, said first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and said second semi-cylindrical part 112-B has a tightening member 120 connected to its body.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, said first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and said second semi-cylindrical part 112-B can be a metallic clamp with two nuts, spring washers and bolts enabling the fitting of the proposed emission control device 102 by gripping on the exhaust manifold/pipe 104.
[0064] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in an exemplary embodiment, the proposed emission control device 102 can include an outlet protrusion 110, connected to the air filter/ suction port 108 using the flexible pipe 106, to receive filtered air through 114-B(metallic filter), a first semi-cylindrical part 112-A connected to said outlet protrusion 110, a second semi-cylindrical part 112-B operatively connected with said first semi-cylindrical part 112-A such that the first semi-cylindrical part 112-A and the second semi-cylindrical part 112-B forms a opening for enclosing the exhaust manifold/pipe 104, and an inter-metallic compound bed 114-B which is at an inner surface of the first semi-cylindrical part 112-A.
[0065] FIG. 7A illustrates a nozzle injector 122 to supply enriched oxygen mixture for complete combustion. FIG. 7B illustrates the proposed emission control device with the fitment of nozzle injector 122 from side of air cleaner fitted near suction port of engine. As illustrated in FIG. 7B a nozzle injector of 4 and 1/2 inches (length may vary) in length is provided below the cover (not visible) from side of air cleaner fitted near suction port of engine. FIG. 7C illustrates an internal view of the FIG. 7B.
[0066] In an embodiment, the emission control device includes a nozzle injector coupled to the suction port. In an aspect, the nozzle injector can be adapted to supply enriched oxygen mixture for complete combustion. In another aspect, the nozzle injector supplies an required volume of air at particular pressure and temperature to engine/carburetor/ throttle body at fractions of seconds.
[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the nozzle injector 122 can be made of hollow aluminum pipe with specific diameter of 3/8th inch and above with variations of length of various sizes ranging from 4.5" to 13". The variations of length can be determined depending on the distance at the hole opening of the air cleaner from intake port where enriched oxygen air intake will take place from the elbow, where the nozzle injector 122 is connected on air tight inner thread matching outer thread of nozzle injectors and is attached with flexible pipe, which is used to establish a trajectory for induction of more volume of oxygen enriched air to engine or carburettor or throttle body, for atomization of maximum volume of fuel for optimum combustion. This can be done without disturbing the normal suction to engine with air intake at engine /or carburettor or throttle body. It may be appreciated that, nozzle injector 122 plays a vital role for supply of oxygen enriched air for optimum combustion. The nozzle injector 122 can supply required volume of air at particular pressure and temp to engine/carburetor/ throttle body at fractions of seconds.
[0068] Referring now to FIG. 7C, the proposed emission control device without a top cover is shown. As can be seen in FIG. 7C, the positioning of nozzle injector 122 is 7-8 cm away from the suction port of air cleaner. It may be appreciated that, the positioning of the injector 122 is very important as the oxygen enriched air makes a trajectory to suck maximum air from nozzle injector positioned perpendicular to the center point of hole, while air cleaner is sucking air inside.

S.NO TOPICs/ PARAMETERS POWER O2 (Present Invention) CATALYTIC CONVERTORS (Prior-Art)
1 Definition Power O2 is a metallic adopter is gripped over exhaust manifold which is connected with metal braided hose pipe which is fitted into the air filter with the help of nozzle. It takes air from the atmosphere which reacts with this alloy and then the enrichment of oxygen air takes place inside the cavity of power o2 which is supplied to engine. A catalytic converter is a large metal box, bolted to the underside of your vehicle that has pipes coming out of it. In which the converter's "input" is connected to the engine and brings in hot, polluted fumes from the engine's cylinders (where the fuel burns and produces power). Whereas the converter's "output" is connected to the tailpipe (exhaust). As the gases from the engine fumes blow over the catalyst, chemical reactions take place on its surface, breaking apart the pollutant gases and converting them into other gases that are safe enough to blow harmlessly out into the air.
2 About/ introduction It is an external attachment which works before the process of combustion for complete combustion. It is a part of the exhaust that reduces tail pipe emissions, through a chemical reaction.
3 Working The Power O2 is to provide oxygen enriched air to engines with all types of fuels -Petrol/ Diesel/ CNG/ LPG / Bio Diesel, for optimum combustion thus saving Fuel, enhancing power, reducing emission, etc. will generate Oxygen enriched air (OEA) from atmospheric air. When atmospheric air is trapped inside the hot cavity of metal adopter (Power O2), the heated air reacts with the metallic alloy and converts into an enriched mixture of oxygen. The OEA generated inside the adopter is injected through a metal braided hose into the suction port of cars/ Bus/ Trucks through air cleaner by a nozzle. Typically, there are two different catalysts in a catalytic converter:
1. One of them tackles nitrogen oxide pollution using a chemical reaction called reduction (removing oxygen). This breaks up nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and oxygen gases (which are harmless, because they already exist in the air around us).
2. The other catalyst works by an opposite chemical process called oxidation (adding oxygen) and turns carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. Another oxidation reaction turns unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust into carbon dioxide and water.
4 Purpose to serve 1. Saves all types of Fuel up to 40%
2. The vehicle runs smoothly with more Power, better acceleration
3. Higher gear at lower speed i.e. smooth drive at 35 to 40 Km speed on top gear.
4. Carbon free engines - Cleans Old Carbon deposits & prohibits new carbon deposits. Less emission
5. Keeps Engine cool. 1. Catalytic converters are mainly designed to
2. reduce immediate, local air pollution
3. changes carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide
4. changes oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to safer molecules
5. uses up any leftover hydrocarbons.(HC).
5 Initial working temperature 120 Deg C 300 Deg C
6 Time required to start functioning 4-7 min 10-15 min
7 Disadvantages Will not work on back compressed engine 1. Catalytic converters do not work with leaded gasoline.
2. Very expensive because are made of Earth's most precious metal, platinum, palladium, rhodium, cerium, iron, manganese, Xeon, nickel, and copper
8 Maintenance The air filter in the adopter is to be periodically cleaned by flushing water jet from nozzle. You should never attempt to bump start or tow the car. This causes unburned fuel to be injected into the catalytic converter, which can make the monolith overheat.
