Abstract:
A thermal energy power device is disclosed. A gasification reactor is arranged on a TDC of a cylinder bulk of an internal combustion engine, wherein the gasification reactor includes gasifying plates (19) and gas holes (23). The gasifying plates are arranged with gaps on the TDC of the cylinder. The gas holes (23) are distributed evenly, in an array, or in a staggered manner on the gasifying plate (19). A cylinder head above the gasification reactor is provided with an atomizer (12). Heat absorption plates (26) are arranged inside the exhaust passage in parallel with an air flow direction. The heat absorption plates (26) absorb thermal energy of exhaust gas and transfer the thermal energy to the gasification reactor. The internal combustion engine is wrapped with an insulation layer. An added working stroke enables the temperature of the cylinder bulk to be lowered. The compression ratio is high. After being filtered by a cooler and a liquid storage tank, the discharged exhaust gas is more environmentally friendly than existing engines. After the temperature of the cylinder bulk is lowered, the discharged exhaust gas is filtered by the cooler and the liquid storage tank without noise. A working stroke is added, and the thermal energy utilization rate increases by 20%-95%. Thermal energy utilization is performed directly on the exhaust passage, and a heat dissipation water tank is not required.
Abstract:
An oxygen separation device includes a substrate and an oxygen ion transport membrane supported on the substrate. The substrate has an air inlet end and a retentate outlet end. An intake air passageway extends through the substrate from the air inlet end to the retentate outlet end. The oxygen ion transport membrane is between the substrate and the intake air passageway and is adapted to separate oxygen atoms from the air in the intake air passageway and to transport the oxygen atoms to the substrate. The oxygen separation device collects the oxygen from the substrate for supply to an internal combustion engine for use as the gas of the gas-fuel mixture.

The feed line (30) comprises: a first segment (31), connected to the injection system (10) and provided with a first valve (33), to be closed when the fuel temperature is below a maximum value, and open when the fuel temperature reaches the maximum value; and a second segment (32) derived from the first and absorbing thermal energy from the hot fluid duct (61a, 61b) or from the combustion gases and provided with a second valve (34) which remains open while the fuel temperature is lower than the maximum value, and which is closed when said temperature reaches the maximum value.
Abstract:
In an internal combustion engine (2) of a portable handheld work apparatus, the cylinder (3) is provided with cooling ribs (4, 4′). A cooling airflow is generated by the fan wheel (13) and is guided over the cooling ribs. A carburetor (9) is temperaturized as required by the heated cooling air. A control of the cooling airflow to the carburetor (9) takes place in that an opening (11), which passes the heated cooling air, is selectively closed or opened via a closure element (12). In order to obtain improved cooling of the cylinder during summer operation as well as during winter operation, the closure element (12) is provided with at least one air guide wall which extends essentially transversely to the cooling airflow and causes this cooling air to be partially backed up and deflected.
Abstract:
A fuel state control unit for use with internal combustion engines can include a primary heating chamber, a secondary heating chamber, and an expansion chamber. The primary heating chamber has a fuel conduit through which fuel is conveyed. A heater in the primary heating chamber transmits heat to the conveyed fuel in the primary heating chamber. The heater is controlled to maintain a predetermined temperature of the fuel. The heated fuel from the conduit is conveyed into a secondary heating chamber. A pressure plate separates the secondary heating chamber from the expansion chamber. The ports of the pressure plate can regulate the flow of the fuel into the expansion chamber. The heated fuel in the expansion chamber can then be conveyed to an engine so as to increase engine efficiency and reduce the amount of pollutant gases in the engine exhaust.

Abstract:
A fuel delivery system is disclosed which includes an injector (40) having an end region (43). The end region (43) is provided from heat conducting material such as metal so that the end region can be heated by exhaust gas to heat the temperature of fuel in the injector end region so that the increase in temperature and pressure within the end region causes the fuel to flash into a vapour state immediately the fuel is ejected from the injector. The exhaust gas is supplied by an exhaust gas supply line (70, 402) and can be returned by an exhaust return line (405).
