FIG.

The gas generating portion 21 for generating brown gas by electrolyzing water includes mainly an electrolytic cell tank 22, an upper lid 27 and an electrolytic bath 34.

The electrolytic cell tank 22 has an internal space in which water is stored, and an electrolytic bath 34 is installed in the internal space. The bottom surface of the electrolytic cell tank 22 is provided with a drain port a 23 for draining residual water and a circulating water inflow port 26 through which the circulated water cooled through the heat exchanger 19 flows. A circulation water discharge port 25 for discharging water heated by electrolysis to the side of the heat exchanger 19 and a temperature sensor connection socket 24 to which the temperature sensor a 28 is connected are provided on the side surface of the electrolytic tank 22 .

An upper lid 27 covering the upper part of the electrolytic cell tank 22 is provided with a water injection part 31 for injecting water into the electrolytic cell tank 22 and a pressure sensor connection socket 27a to which the pressure sensor 33 is connected, A water level sensor a (29) for measuring the water level of the water filled in the electrolytic tank 22 and a relief valve 30 for discharging gas at the time of generating a gas pressure equal to or higher than a certain level are provided.

The electrolytic cell 34 is for electrolyzing water by using a power source supplied to the electrode plate 36. The electrolytic cell 34 has an electrode rod 38 connected to the electrode plate 36, Is fixed by a nut (39). Therefore, the electrolytic bath 34 is floated at a predetermined height on the bottom surface of the inside of the electrolytic cell tank 22. The electrolytic bath 34 will be described later with reference to Figs. 7 to 10 again.

On the other hand, the water injection unit 31 is formed with an out port a 32 through which the brown gas generated in the electrolytic bath 34 is discharged. The gas discharged through the out port a 32 flows through the gas pipe 44 Liquid separator 50 as shown in FIG.

The gas-liquid separator (50) includes a main tank (51) and an auxiliary tank (57).

The bottom of the main tank 51 is provided with an inlet port 52 connected to the outflow port a 32 of the electrolytic tank 22 through a gas piping 44, A water level control port 53 for controlling the water level is provided, and a drain port b 54 for discharging water is provided at a lower side surface.

The interior of the main tank 51 is filled with water. Accordingly, when the brown gas is introduced through the inlet port 52, the water is cooled while passing through the water in the main tank 51. At this time, the Brown gas generated as the water is electrolyzed contains moisture, and a part of water is mixed with water as it passes through the water in the main tank 51. However, even if water in the main tank 51 is passed through, some moisture remains in the brown gas. To this end, auxiliary tank 57 is additionally provided.

The main tank 51 and the auxiliary tank 57 are connected to each other by an upper connection pipe 55 through which the gas moves and a lower connection pipe 56 through which the water level is adjusted.

Therefore, the gas passing through the water of the main tank 51 is introduced into the auxiliary tank 57 through the upper connection pipe 55, and the remaining water is condensed and removed through the auxiliary tank 57 having a narrow and long path. do. As a result, fine condensation occurs in the auxiliary tank 57, and water flows down. Since the main tank 51 and the auxiliary tank 57 are connected to each other through the lower connection pipe 56, the water levels of the two side tanks are the same.

A water level sensor b (58) is provided in the auxiliary tank (57). Accordingly, when the water level reaches a predetermined level through the water level sensor b (58), water can be discharged to the water level control port (53) of the main tank (51). Of course, the discharge of water proceeds when the entire machine stops working.

And an out port b 59 for discharging the brown gas from which moisture is removed is provided in the upper portion of the auxiliary tank 57. The brown gas discharged to the out port b 59 is discharged to the gas outlet port 12 through the flow meter 9 and supplied to the engine side through the mixing adapter 83 connected to the gas outlet port 12.

On the other hand, a residual gas discharge port 60 is provided in the upper part of the auxiliary tank 57. Therefore, the residual gas left in the gas-liquid separator 50 not used in the engine washing process can be discharged through the residual gas discharge port 60 by the operation of the residual gas discharge valve 63.

And the gas-liquid separator 50 is fixed in the main body 2 through the support bracket 64.

Meanwhile, the gas-liquid separator 50 not only functions to remove moisture contained in the brown gas, but also functions to block heat through the water filled in the gas-liquid separator 50 when backfire occurs from the engine side. The gas electrolyzed in the electrolytic cell 34 contains potassium hydroxide (KOH) and other impurities. When the gas flows into the gas-liquid separator 50 from the electrolytic cell tank 22, impurities such as potassium hydroxide Liquid separator 50, and only the pure gas can be raised and discharged.

The steam generating section 70 is for generating high temperature steam and includes a water tank 71, a filter 73, a pump 74 and a heater 75.

Water required for steam generation is stored in the water reservoir (71), and the water level of the water reservoir (71) is monitored via the water level sensor (c) (72). The water stored in the water reservoir 71 is discharged through the pump 74 and purified through the filter 73 and then heated by the heater 75 so that the high temperature steam is generated and the high temperature steam is supplied through the steam pipe 77 And is discharged to the steam outlet port 11 provided in the main body 2 and supplied to the engine side together with the brown gas through the mixing adapter 83. [ The heater 75 is provided with a temperature sensor c (76) to monitor the temperature of the heater (75).

Each of the constitutions of the cleaning material generating unit 1 described above will be described in more detail below through the operation of the entire equipment. Before the description of FIG. 7 through FIG. 10, Let's look first at the structure.

7 is a perspective view for explaining the electrolyzer of the gas generating section, Fig. 8 is a view showing the end plate removed from the electrolyzer shown in Fig. 7, and Fig. 9 is a view showing one end plate and one electrode plate in the electrolyzer shown in Fig. And FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the electrolyzer shown in FIG. 7 as viewed from below.

The electrolytic bath 34 has a structure in which a plurality of electrode plates 36 are laminated while maintaining a predetermined gap by the gasket 37. Electrodes 38 are connected to the electrode plates 36 at both ends, The electrode plate 36, the gasket 37 and the end plate 35 are integrally pressed and fixed by tightening the SUS bolts in the end plate 35. [ The upper portion of the electrode rod 38 passes through the upper lid 27 covering the upper portion of the electrolytic cell tank 22 and is fixed with a fixing nut 39. Therefore, the electrolytic bath 34 is floated at a predetermined height on the bottom surface of the inside of the electrolytic cell tank 22.

When the positive pole and the negative pole are connected to the upper part of the electrode rod 38 exposed to the outside of the electrolytic cell 34, brown gas is generated as the water charged in the electrolytic cell tank 22 is electrolyzed. The electrolytic bath 34 employed in the present invention is not electrolytic in a state in which water is stored in the electrolytic bath 34 but has a structure in which water or gas can move naturally below and above the electrode plate 36 Have.

9, the pair of gaskets 37 for maintaining the gap between the electrode plates 36 are arranged symmetrically to the left and right sides of one electrode plate 36, On the inside of the gasket 37, a groove 37a is formed so as to be long in the up and down direction. The length of the groove 37a formed inside the gasket 37 is longer than the height of the electrode plate 36. [ The length of the groove 37a formed in the gasket 37 is longer than the height of the end plate 35. [

Therefore, when the electrolytic bath 34 is immersed in the water stored in the electrolytic cell tank 22, the lower opening portion 42 formed below the end plate 35, that is, the groove (not shown) inside the gasket 37 Water can penetrate into the spaces between the electrode plates 37a and 37a and the gaskets 37 so that the penetrated water can flow into the spaces between the electrode plates 36. As a result, .

When the water penetrating between the electrode plates 36 is electrolyzed to generate brown gas, the generated gas rises and the upper open portion 41 formed above the end plate 35, that is, the inside of the gasket 37 The gas is discharged into the space between the groove 37a and the gasket 37 and can be moved along the water injecting section 31 and discharged to the out port a 32. [

That is, in the conventional electrolytic cell structure, electrolysis is performed in a state where water is stored in the electrolytic bath so that impurities are accumulated inside the electrolytic bath. In the electrolytic bath 34 used in the present invention, water is stored in the electrolytic bath 34 The electrolytic bath 34 has a structure in which water and gas can freely flow into and out of the electrolytic bath 34 so that impurities are not accumulated in the electrolytic bath 34 and are discharged.

Although it is possible to accumulate impurities in the electrolytic cell tank 22, it is possible to remove the water periodically remained through the drain port a 23, and the structure inside the electrolytic cell tank 22 is not complicated as compared with the electrolytic cell 34 Therefore, it is easy to wash.

On the other hand, on the upper side of the electrode plate 36, there is provided a support block 40 for maintaining a gap between the both end plates 35. That is, when the support block 40 is sandwiched between the end plates 35 and the bolts and nuts are passed through the holes of both the end plates 35 and the support block 40, And the interval between the electrode plates 36 can be kept constant. Here, the gasket 37 is cut at the portion overlapping with the support block 40, so that the space occupied by the support block 40 can be secured.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view for explaining a vehicle RPM control apparatus in the engine performance restoration system shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of a brake pedal press plate and an accelerator pedal depression in the vehicle RPM control apparatus shown in FIG. 11 And Fig. 13 is a view for explaining an example in which the vehicle RPM regulating apparatus shown in Fig. 11 is installed in a vehicle driver's seat.

The vehicle RPM control device 100 is a device that allows the vehicle RPM to be conveniently controlled when the vehicle engine is being cleaned. The vehicle RPM control apparatus 100 includes a brake fixing shaft 101, a brake pedal press plate 102, a seat fixing plate 103, an accelerator pedal depressor 104, and a wire 116.

The brake fixing shaft 101 has an elongated bar shape, a brake pedal pressing plate 102 is provided at the front end (lower side in Fig. 11), and a seat fixing plate 103 is provided at the rear. The seat fixing plate 103 is provided for tightly fixing the brake fixing shaft 101 to the seat 128.

The accelerator pedal depressor 104 is configured such that the user operates the accelerator pedal 127 by pressing the RPM regulator 10 provided in the main body 2 of the cleaning material generator 1 to press the accelerator pedal 127 of the vehicle. The accelerator pedal depressor 104 includes a bracket fixing part 105, a depth adjusting part 106, a width adjusting part 109, a width adjusting shaft 112, a supporting panel 113, an accelerator pedal presser plate 114, And a wire connecting portion 115.

The fixed shaft bracket 110 of the depth adjusting means 106 and the width adjusting shaft bracket 110 of the width adjusting means 109 are respectively fixed to the bracket fixing portions 105 bent at right angles.

The fixed shaft bracket 110 is separated in both sides with respect to the longitudinal direction of the brake fixing shaft 101, and the brake fixing shaft 101 penetrates through the separated gap. The fixing shaft bracket 110 can be moved along the longitudinal direction of the brake fixing shaft 101 by loosening the depth adjusting bolt 108 for tightening both ends of the fixing shaft bracket 110, Can be adjusted.

The width adjusting shaft bracket 110 is separated in the longitudinal direction of the brake fixing shaft 101, and the width adjusting shaft 112 penetrates through the separated gap. A support panel 113 and an accelerator pedal presser plate 114 are installed on one side of the width adjusting shaft 112 and the opposite side passes through the width adjusting shaft bracket 110. Therefore, if the width adjusting bolt 111 for tightening the width adjusting shaft bracket 110 is loosened, the entire width adjusting shaft 112, the supporting panel 113 and the accelerator pedal pressing plate 114 can be moved to the left and right, 102 and the accelerator pedal presser plate 114 can be adjusted.

A wire 116 is connected to the rear end of the accelerator pedal presser plate 114 through a wire connection part 115. The accelerator pedal presser plate 114 is rotatably connected to the accelerator pedal presser plate 114, It is connected.

The wire 116 is also protected by a wire protective sheath 117, which is freely movable longitudinally within the wire protective sheath 117. One side of the wire protecting cover 117 is fixed to the support panel 113 and the other side is fixed to a case provided on the side of the main body 2 of the cleaning material generating portion 1. [ The wire 116 located inside the wire protection cover 117 is connected to the rear of the accelerator pedal retaining plate 114 and the other is connected to the RPM control unit 10 installed on the main body 2.

13 shows an example in which the vehicle RPM control device 100 is installed in the vehicle driver's seat. That is, when the seat pedal plate 103 is brought into close contact with the seat 128 in a state where the brake pedal 126 is pressed by the brake pedal press plate 102, the whole of the vehicle RPM regulating apparatus 100 is fixed. At this time, the distance between the brake pedal 126 and the seat 128 may be different for each vehicle type. In this case, by moving the seat 128 forward until the front of the seat 128 is brought into close contact with the seat fixing plate 103, The adjustment device 100 can be fixed.

Of course, if the seat fixing plate 103 is designed to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the brake fixing shaft 101 and can be fixed through a separate tightening portion (not shown), the seat fixing plate 103, So as to be brought into close contact with the front side of the seat 128.

After the brake pedal 126 is pressed and fixed through the brake pedal press plate 102, the accelerator pedal press plate 114 is brought into close contact with the accelerator pedal 127. [ At this time, the depth between the brake pedal 126 and the accelerator pedal 127 may be different for each vehicle type, and the width may be different.

To this end, the depth of the entire accelerator pedal depressor 104 can be adjusted by loosening the depth adjustment bolt 108 and releasing the fixing shaft bracket 110. When the depth adjusting bolt 108 is tightened again at an appropriate position, The depth of the pressure plate 114 can be adjusted.

Also, the position of the accelerator pedal presser plate 114 can be adjusted to the left and right by loosening the width adjusting bolt 111 to relax the width adjusting shaft bracket 110. If the width adjusting bolt 111 is tightened again at a proper position, The entire width adjusting shaft 112, the supporting panel 113 and the accelerator pedal pressing plate 114 can be fixed in a state in which the pressing plate 114 is aligned with the width of the accelerator pedal 127. [

Therefore, when the RPM regulating unit 10 provided in the main body 2 of the cleaning material generating unit 1 is rotated, the wire 116 is wound on the RPM regulating unit 10 to pull the wire 116, When the wire 116 connected through the wire connection part 115 is pulled from the rear of the accelerator pedal 114, the rear of the accelerator pedal presser plate 114 is lifted and the front side is lowered. That is, if the wire 116 is pulled in a state in which the accelerator pedal push plate 114 is in contact with the accelerator pedal 127, the front of the accelerator pedal 127 can push the accelerator pedal push plate 114 to raise the vehicle RPM It is. On the contrary, when the RPM regulating portion 10 is turned in the opposite direction, the tension of the wire 116 is released. When the force of the wire 116 pulling the rear portion of the accelerator pedal depressing plate 114 becomes weak, The front side is pushed out by the restoring force of the accelerator pedal 127. That is, the vehicle RPM is lowered.

14 and 15 are views showing a state in which the gas exclusive adapter 81 and the steam exclusive adapter 81 connected to the gas outlet port 12 or the steam outlet port 11 provided in the main body 2 of the cleaning material generating section 1 82). The description of the gas exclusive adapter 81 and the steam exclusive adapter 82 will be repeated after the description of the mixing adapter 83.

Hereinafter, a process of removing accumulated carbon in a vehicle engine using the engine performance restoration system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, the vehicle RPM control device 100 is installed in the driver's seat of the vehicle to be repaired. The installation process of the vehicle RPM control device 100 has been described in detail with reference to FIG.

16 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the combustion chamber 121 of the vehicle. There are a carburetor 133 system and a fuel injection system largely in such a manner that the fuel supplied from the fuel tank 132 side in the vehicle is mixed with the air passing through the air cleaner filter 131. 16 shows the carburetor 133 system.

17, the connection between the air cleaner filter 131 and the carburetor 133 is removed and the steam outlet port 11 and the gas The mixing adapter 83 connected to the out port 12 is installed in the carburetor 133. [ In addition, the DPF temperature sensor 90 is installed in the exhaust catalyst, that is, the DPF 125 (Diesel Particulate Filter). The DPF 125 is a device that removes contaminants such as particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas by converting it into carbon dioxide and water vapor through a filter coated with a catalyst. The reason why the DPF temperature sensor 90 is provided in the DPF 125 will be described later.

The engine cleaning operation is performed while the vehicle engine is running. Therefore, turn on the vehicle and adjust the vehicle RPM. The vehicle does not move because the transmission remains in the neutral state even when the vehicle is turned on and the brake pedal press plate 102 of the vehicle RPM regulator 100 always presses the brake pedal 126. [

When the wire 116 is pulled by rotating the RPM adjusting unit 10, the RPM is increased by pressing the accelerator pedal 127 in front of the accelerator pedal pushing plate 114. When the vehicle RPM is set at an appropriate level (for example, about 1500), the main power switch 4 of the cleaning material generating section 1 is turned on to start the operation of the equipment.

When the main power source of the cleaning substance generator 1 is turned on, the self-diagnosis can be performed first. That is, the control unit 15 is connected to the gas generating unit 21, the gas-liquid separator 50 and the steam generating unit 70 through the water level sensor a 29, the water level sensor b 58 and the water level sensor c 72 It is determined whether the amount of water is appropriate, and the information about the excess or deficiency is displayed through the display (3) or a separate warning section so that the action can be taken.

Upon confirming that the equipment is in a normal state via the display 3, the user sets the washing mode. For example, it is possible to set a washing mode using both steam and gas through the display 3 in the form of a touch screen. Thereafter, the amount of gas and steam generated is appropriately adjusted through the gas amount adjusting unit 6 and the steam amount adjusting unit 8 in accordance with the amount of displacement of the vehicle, so that the gas and steam are generated in the gas generating unit 21 and the steam generating unit 70, do.

First, the steam generator 70 will be described. The water stored in the water tank 71 is drained by the operation of the pump 74, filtered through the filter 73, and then flows into the heater 75 to be heated. Occurs. The generated steam is sent to the mixing adapter 83 connected to the steam outlet port 11 through the steam pipe 77. The control unit 15 monitors the water level of the water stored in the water tank 71 of the steam generator 70 and the temperature of the heater 75 in real time through the water level sensor c 72 and the temperature sensor c 76, And guides the status through the display (3). Also, the operation of the steam generator 70 may be turned on and off separately from the gas generator 21 through the steam power switch 7.

In accordance with the setting of the washing mode, the gas generating section 21 generates brown gas by electrolyzing water. That is, when power is applied to the electrode rod 38 of the electrolytic bath 34, water permeating through the electrode plates 36 inside the electrolytic bath 34 is electrolyzed to generate brown gas, (32).

When the electrolysis is continued, the temperature of the water stored in the electrolytic tank 22 is increased, and the water level is also reduced. The controller 15 monitors the water level of the electrolytic tank 22 in real time through the water level sensor a 29 and monitors the temperature of the water through the temperature sensor a 28 connected to the temperature sensor connection socket 24.

If the water level of the electrolytic tank 22 is lower than the reference level, the operation can be automatically stopped after warning through the display 3, or the user can press the emergency stop switch 5 to stop the operation.

When the temperature of the water filled in the electrolytic cell tank 22 becomes higher than the reference level, the cooling pump 20 is operated so that the water in the electrolytic cell tank 22 is discharged through the circulating water discharge port 25, So that the water is cooled by the operation of the first fan 16 and the second fan 17 and then flows into the electrolytic cell tank 22 through the circulating water inflow port 26 again.

The control unit 15 checks the pressure inside the electrolytic cell tank 22 through the pressure sensor 33 connected to the pressure sensor connection socket 27a in real time. Emergency discharge to maintain a certain level of internal pressure.

On the other hand, when cleaning or repair of the inside of the electrolytic cell tank 22 is required in a state where the operation of the washing machine is stopped after the washing operation, the drain valve a 43 is opened and the water inside the electrolytic cell tank 22 .

The brown gas is discharged through the outflow port 52 of the gas-liquid separator 50 when the brown gas is discharged through the out port a 32 of the gas generating unit 21.

The brown gas flows into the main tank 51 through the inlet port 52 provided below the main tank 51 of the gas-liquid separator 50 and flows upward while passing through the water filled in the main tank 51. Brown gas generated by electrolysis of water in the gas generating unit 21 contains moisture, and a part of water is mixed into the water filled in the main tank 51. However, even if water in the main tank 51 is passed through, some moisture remains in the brown gas.

Brown gas rising in the main tank 51 is introduced into the auxiliary tank 57 through the upper connection pipe 55 and remaining moisture is condensed and removed through the auxiliary tank 57 having a narrow and long path. As a result, fine condensation is generated in the auxiliary tank 57, and the water flows downward and becomes downward.

At this time, the main tank 51 and the auxiliary tank 57 communicate with each other through the lower connection pipe 56 below the upper connection pipe 55. Therefore, the water condensed in the auxiliary tank 57 is eventually combined with the water filled in the main tank 51, and the water levels of the two tanks 51 and 57 are the same.

Brown gas whose moisture has been removed from the auxiliary tank 57 is discharged to the gas out port 12 through the outflow port 59 via the flow meter 9 and is supplied to the mixing adapter 83).

The gas outlet port 12 is provided with a check valve 12a (see FIG. 1). That is, when a washing operation is performed after connecting the mixing adapter 83 to the engine side of the vehicle, when a vacuum phenomenon (strong low pressure) occurs in the combustion chamber 121 or a strong suction force occurs for unknown reasons, So that the water in the electrolytic cell tank 22 or the gas-liquid separator 50 is prevented from being drawn out.

On the other hand, the auxiliary tank 57 is provided with a water level sensor b 58 so that the controller 15 can grasp the water level of the auxiliary tank 57. If it is confirmed that the water level of the auxiliary tank 57 has risen to a certain level or more, the control unit 15 warns through the display 3 and opens the water level control valve 61, Water can be discharged to lower the level of the auxiliary tank 57 and the main tank 51.

When the water filled in the gas-liquid separator 50 is changed, or when cleaning or repair is required, the residual gas discharge valve 63 is opened so that the residual gas filled in the gas-liquid separator 50 flows through the residual gas discharge port 60 And drain valve b (62) can be opened to discharge water through drain port b (54). Of course, water level control, residual gas or water discharge occurs when the equipment stops operating.

Meanwhile, the gas-liquid separator 50 not only functions to remove moisture contained in the Brown gas, but also functions to block heat or shut off the flow of gas through the water filled in the gas-liquid separator 50 when back- You can defend it first. Of course, on the gas piping 44 connected to the out port b 59, there is additionally provided a separate backflow prevention device and a backflow prevention device 65 so that backflow of gas or backfire from the engine side can be blocked.

Referring again to FIG. 17 for explaining the process of cleaning the intake portion and the combustion chamber of the vehicle engine using the engine performance restoration system shown in FIG. 1, the connection portion between the air cleaner filter 131 and the carburetor 133 is loosened When the cleaning material generating section 1 is operated in a state in which the vehicle engine is driven after connecting the mixing adapter 83 to the carburetor 133, the mixed material of the brown gas and the steam flowing through the mixing adapter 83 flows into the carburetor The exhaust gas is introduced into the engine combustion chamber 121 through the exhaust manifold 133 and the intake unit 122 (intake manifold), and then discharged through the exhaust unit 123. At this time, a hole is formed around the mixing adapter 83, so that when the brown gas and steam are introduced into the intake part 122, the outside air is also introduced through the hole of the mixing adapter 83.

Brown gas is a substance that reduces the material to its original properties when it is burned. That is, the incomplete combustion of 85% in the engine combustion is guided to the complete combustion of 96% to 99%, thereby completely burning the carbon and the impurities attached to the respective parts and the inner wall of the combustion chamber 121 through the high combustion temperature . Therefore, the engine performance can be restored by removing carbon and impurities in the engine room, and the output of the engine and the fuel efficiency can be increased.

Of course, if complete combustion continues in the engine compartment, the temperature of the exhaust gas rises. Although the exhaust catalyst, that is, the DPF 125 can be cleaned together with the exhaust gas at a high temperature, if the temperature of the exhaust gas is excessively high, The metal catalyst of the second catalyst layer 125 may be burned. Accordingly, the control unit 15 checks the temperature of the DPF 125 in real time through the DPF temperature sensor 90 installed in the DPF 125, and reduces the amount of gas generated when the temperature reaches the allowable temperature. That is, the amount of current supplied to the electrolytic bath 34 is reduced to reduce the amount of brown gas produced, thereby lowering the combustion temperature in the combustion chamber 121.

On the other hand, the cleaning material generating section 1 may control gas and steam generation as measured through the DPF temperature sensor 90 as well as the startup sensor 95. That is, when the vehicle or the engine room is provided with the start detection sensor connection portion 15b and the start detection sensor 95 connected to the vehicle or the engine room by wired or wireless connection, the control portion 15 may control the engine or the engine room according to the vibration or RPM information measured by the start detection sensor 95 And controls the gas generator 21 or the steam generator 70 to generate gas and steam only when the vehicle engine is started.

Here, the start detection sensor 95 may use a gyro sensor, for example. That is, if vibration occurs according to the engine start, it can be detected through the gyro sensor. At this time, the control unit 15 processes the vibration pattern of the vehicle engine sensed by the start-up detecting sensor 95 so that the vibration pattern is outputted through the display 3 as an analog graph.

If carbon is accumulated in the engine, very rough vibration occurs when starting. That is, the vibration pattern measured by the start-up detecting sensor 95 has a large width in three axial directions. On the other hand, when the engine is cleaned by steam and gas, accumulated carbon is removed and the vibration of the engine becomes smooth. That is, the vibration pattern measured by the start-up sensor 95 has a small width in the three-axis direction and smoothly continues.

Therefore, if the vibration pattern of the vehicle engine sensed by the start-up detecting sensor 95 is outputted as an analog graph through the display 3, the engine state before and after the carbon removal can be visually confirmed through the vibration pattern.

Reference numeral 124 denotes an exhaust gas recirculation device (EGR 124, Exhaust Gas Recirculation) that recirculates a part of the exhaust gas to lower the combustion temperature of the combustion chamber 121 to reduce nitrogen oxides. And the combustion temperature is increased, the carbon and impurities accumulated in the EGR 124 are also removed.

In the foregoing, the process of removing carbon by mixing and supplying brown gas and steam to the engine side using the mixing adapter 83 has been described. However, it is also possible to perform the cleaning operation using brown gas alone or steam alone.

17, when the mixing adapter 83 is installed in the carburetor 133 and the cleaning operation is performed, the carburetor 133, the throttle valve 134, and the intake unit 122 are cleaned by steam , The combustion chamber 121, the exhaust part 123, the EGR 124, and the DFP 125 are cleaned by the complete combustion in the combustion chamber 121 by Brownian gas. Of course, even if the mixing adapter 83 is used, initially only the steam is supplied to clean the throttle valve 134 and the intake part 122, and then only the gas or the gas and steam are supplied together to clean the components after the combustion chamber 121 can do. At this time, when the steam and the gas are simultaneously injected and cleaned, a control process such as setting the engine RPM to a somewhat higher level may be involved. Of course, the engine RPM control is performed by turning the RPM control unit 10 so that the vehicle RPM control unit 100 presses or releases the accelerator pedal 127.

On the other hand, only the steam is injected by using the steam-dedicated adapter 82 (see FIG. 15) connected to the steam-out port 11 so that the cleaning can be performed only on the carburetor 133, the throttle valve 134 and the intake part 122 .

On the other hand, in order to connect the mixing adapter 83, the connecting portion of the air cleaner filter 131 and the carburetor 133 must be disassembled, which may be troublesome. If it is not necessary to perform a steam cleaning operation on the carburetor 133, the throttle valve 134 and the intake portion 122, only the accessories after the combustion chamber 121 are cleaned through the gas exclusive adapter 81 or the EGR connection hose 84 It is possible.

18, a portion connected to the intake portion 122 side of the EGR 124 can be easily disassembled, and a gas exclusive adapter 81 connected to the gas out port 12 and a gas- Brown gas is introduced into the combustion chamber 121 to be cleaned through complete combustion and cleaning of the exhaust part 123, the EGR 124 and the DPF 125 is performed . The exhaust gas discharged to the exhaust part 123 and recovered in the EGR 124 is directly discharged to the air because the connection between the EGR valve 124 and the intake part 122 is released. In the combustion chamber 121, Since the mixed fuel is completely burned, harmful substances are not generated in the exhaust gas, so that the environment is not affected.

16 to 18 illustrate the application of the carburetor 133 in a method of mixing fuel and air. However, even in the fuel injection mode, the mixing adapter 83 is connected to the air cleaner filter 131 and the intake unit Intake manifold), it is possible to perform the cleaning of the throttle valve and the intake unit using steam, and it is possible to sufficiently clean the combustion chamber by the gas.

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the brown gas and steam are supplied to the intake portion 122 of the vehicle engine, and the throttle valve 134, the intake portion 122, the combustion chamber 121 and the exhaust catalyst, and can improve the engine efficiency.

That is, although the initial purchase cost of the system is relatively high, since water is used as a raw material without using chemicals, once the carbon removal system according to the present invention is constructed, there is an advantage that the maintenance cost is very low.

In addition, since the engine disassembly and reassembling operation is not necessary, the working time can be greatly shortened and the running cost can be reduced.

In particular, when the diesel engine is operated to remove carbon, the temperature of the exhaust gas can be rapidly increased due to the complete combustion of the fuel. Since the amount of brown gas generated can be automatically controlled by measuring the temperature of the DPF 125, have.

If the electrolytic bath 34 is immersed in the water in the electrolytic bath 22 instead of electrolysis in the state where water is stored in the electrolytic bath 34, Since the water can permeate and the gas generated after the electrolysis of the water between the electrode plates 36 can escape through the upper opening 41, impurities such as water can be introduced into the electrolytic bath 34 It can be discharged without accumulating, so that washing is easy and the life of the electrolytic bath 34 can be extended.

Also, the brown gas can be cooled through the gas-liquid separator 50, and at the same time, moisture can be completely removed and supplied, and the carbon removal efficiency can be increased through the supply of the dry gas.

In addition, the vehicle RPM control device 100 is installed in the driver's seat so that the brake pedal 126 can be maintained in the depressed state during the cleaning operation, and the accelerator pedal (not shown) 127) can be adjusted so that a single mechanic can conveniently perform RPM control and cleaning without the need for a separate helper.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, And additions should be considered as falling within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
