Description

수소 생성 및 공급에 의한 연비 증가 및 배기가스 저감 장치 및 이를 포함하는 자동차Device for increasing fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust gases by generating and supplying hydrogen and automobiles including the same
본 발명은 수소 생성 및 공급에 의한 연비 증가 및 배기가스 저감 장치에 관한 것이다. 내연기관 자동차 등 배기가스가 발생하는 다양한 장치에 설치되어 배기가스를 줄일 수 있다. The present invention relates to a device for increasing fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust gases by generating and supplying hydrogen. It can be installed in various devices that generate exhaust gas, such as internal combustion engine vehicles, to reduce exhaust gas.
일반적으로 차량의 엔진 등의 내연기관은 연료와 공기를 혼합 연소시키면서 동력을 발생시킨다. 이 때, 연료탱크에 저장된 연료가 각종 연료 공급부를 통과하게 되고, 외부에서 유입된 공기와 혼합된 후 엔진의 연소실로 분사되며, 엔진의 흡입, 압축, 폭발, 배기 행정을 통해 동력을 발생시킨다.In general, internal combustion engines such as vehicle engines generate power by burning a mixture of fuel and air. At this time, the fuel stored in the fuel tank passes through various fuel supply parts, mixes with air introduced from the outside, and is then injected into the combustion chamber of the engine, generating power through the intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust strokes of the engine.
또한, 엔진(내연기관)의 연소 과정에서는 일정량의 공기를 필요로 하고, 연소에 필요한 공기는 외기로부터 차내로 흡입되어 엔진의 흡기 계통으로 공급되며, 흡기 계통은 통상 공기의 유동경로를 형성하는 덕트, 소음 저감을 위한 레조네이터, 흡기된 공기를 여과시키는 공기 정화기 등으로 구성될 수 있다.In addition, the combustion process of an engine (internal combustion engine) requires a certain amount of air, and the air required for combustion is sucked into the car from outside air and supplied to the engine's intake system, and the intake system is usually a duct that forms the air flow path. , a resonator for noise reduction, and an air purifier to filter the intake air.
이중, 공기 정화기는 내부에 수용공간이 형성된 본체와, 본체의 일측에 형성되어 공기를 흡입하는 흡기구와, 본체의 일측에 형성되어 엔진의 연소실과 유기적으로 연결되는 배출구와, 본체의 수용공간에 구비되어 공기를 여과하기 위한 엘리먼트와, 엘리먼트의 일측에 배치되는 흡착필터 등으로 구성되며, 엘리먼트와 흡착필터를 통과한 공기는 이물질 등이 제거된 상태로 엔진의 연소실로 공급된다.Among them, the air purifier is equipped with a main body with a receiving space formed inside, an intake port formed on one side of the main body to suck air, an outlet formed on one side of the main body and organically connected to the combustion chamber of the engine, and an receiving space in the main body. It consists of an element for filtering air and an adsorption filter disposed on one side of the element. The air that passes through the element and the adsorption filter is supplied to the combustion chamber of the engine with foreign substances removed.
그런데, 종래의 공기 정화기는 외기로부터 유입되는 공기를 필터링하기 위한 기능은 있으나, 엔진의 연소 효율을 향상시키기 위한 기능이 없고, 연료가 연소실의 내부에서 연소될 때 발생하는 배기가스를 저감시킬 수 있는 기능이 없었다. 따라서 엔진이 연료를 연소시킬 때 발생하는 배기가스를 저감시키고, 연료를 연소시키는 과정에서 효율을 상승시키기 위한 기술이 요구된다.However, conventional air purifiers have a function to filter air flowing in from the outside, but do not have a function to improve the combustion efficiency of the engine, and cannot reduce the exhaust gas generated when fuel is burned inside the combustion chamber. There was no function. Therefore, technology is required to reduce exhaust gases generated when an engine burns fuel and increase efficiency in the fuel combustion process.
