Hydro-diesel engine system having separate agitation mixing and chemical mixing of hydrogen gas into liquid diesel fuel
A hydro-diesel engine system, including: (a) a hydrogen gas supply and a liquid diesel fuel supply; (b) a bubbilizer configured to agitatedly mix some of the hydrogen gas into diesel fuel to form a mixture of small bubbles of hydrogen gas in the liquid diesel fuel which is then sent into a hydro-diesel engine; together with (c) a system for chemically mixing some of the hydrogen gas with the diesel fuel prior to the diesel fuel entering the bubbilizer.
FUEL TREATMENT SYSTEM FOR RETAIL FUELING STATIONS AND RELATED METHODS
A retail fueling station includes: (a) a fuel supply line extending between a fuel storage tank and a fuel dispensing system; (b) a treatment fluid supply line coupled to a treatment fluid storage tank; and (c) a treatment fluid injection system including: (i) a mixing conduit mounted to the fuel supply line and through which untreated fuel flows when conducted through the fuel supply line from the fuel storage tank toward the fuel dispensing system; (ii) one or more pressure reducers in the mixing conduit for providing a reduced pressure region immediately downstream of each pressure reducer; and (iii) one or more injection ports in the mixing conduit for injection of treatment fluid received from the treatment fluid supply line into corresponding reduced pressure regions for mixture with the untreated fuel flowing through the mixing conduit to produce treated fuel.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MIXING HYDROGEN WITH NATURAL GAS
Systems and methods for injecting hydrogen into a natural gas pipeline to lower the carbon intensity of the resulting fuel blend while achieving the required energy output thereof for the end user. In one embodiment a blend ratio for the blended fuel comprising hydrogen and natural gas is determined based at least in part on a minimum energy output for fuel combusted at an end-use location connected to the natural gas pipeline so that the blended fuel (i) has a lower carbon intensity than a natural gas stream flowing in the natural gas pipeline, and (ii) provides at least the minimum energy output when combusted at the end-use location. Further, one or more embodiments include adjusting a control valve of a hydrogen injection assembly connected to the natural gas pipeline upstream of the end-use location based at least in part on the blend ratio to thereby mix hydrogen into the natural gas pipeline and produce the blended fuel.
AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM INCLUDING MIXER WITH EXHAUST SAMPLING FLANGE
An aftertreatment system includes an introduction conduit and a mixer disposed within the introduction conduit. The introduction conduit is centered on a mixer body center axis. The mixer includes a mixer body, an exhaust sampling flange, an outlet flange, and an outlet tube. The exhaust sampling flange is coupled to the mixer body at a location adjacent to a second end of the mixer body. The exhaust sampling flange includes exhaust sampling flange apertures arranged in an array that extends circumferentially around the mixer body center axis. The outlet flange is coupled to the second end downstream of the exhaust sampling flange. The outlet flange includes an outlet flange aperture. The outlet tube is coupled to the outlet flange. The outlet tube is in fluid communication with at least one of the exhaust sampling flange apertures. The outlet tube extends over a portion of the outlet flange aperture.
LIQUID DISPERSING DEVICE AND LIQUID DISPERSING APPARATUS USING SAME
A liquid dispersion device of the present invention includes at least one liquid flow member attachable to a rotary shaft. The liquid flow member includes at least one tubular suction portion extending along the rotary shaft and including a suction port at a lower end thereof, and at least one ejection portion extending in a direction inclined with respect to the suction portion and having one end that is in communication with an upper end of the suction portion and the other end that includes an ejection port. An angle .sub.2 between a horizontal direction and an axial direction of the ejection portion at an opening surface of the ejection port is 90.sub.220 with respect to the horizontal direction.
Acoustic mixers
A processing vessel (1) provided with a material inlet (2, 3, 4, 5) and a processed material outlet (25) wherein the material flows continuously through the vessel which is split into a series of zones (6, 7, 8) through which the material passes wherein the zones are shielded from each other by controlling the rate at which the material flows and an increasing level of vacuum is applied inconsecutive zones and the system is provided with acoustic energy which imparts energy to the process material by virtue of the contact between the zone dividers and the process material and processing material in such a vessel.
ANNULAR DISCHARGE VENTURI BOOSTER ASSEMBLY
An annular discharge venturi booster assembly includes a tube, a pair of supports, and a venturi booster insert. The pair of supports are attached to and extend in opposite directions from the tube and each includes an arm and a flange insertable into a slot in venturi of a carburetor. The tube includes an annular fuel channel and one arm includes a fuel line connecting the annular fuel channel to a fuel supply. A lower portion of the tube projects beyond a bottom surface of the flanges. The venturi booster insert is inserted into the tube and suspended in a venturi of a carburetor and includes an air intake portion, a fuel feed portion that includes a plurality of orifices in communication with the annular fuel channel, and an outlet portion. The fuel feed portion includes an interior surface having a continuous curvature up to a sharp perimeter edge.
