Background
Currently, the combustion exhaust gas discharged from various vehicles and various industries has undoubtedly proved to be a main and important cause of air pollution. Through detailed investigation and research analysis, the exhaust gas generated by various vehicles and industries mainly comes from the combustion exhaust gas (55%) discharged from the exhaust pipe of various internal combustion engines, the oil gas (25%) leaked from the crank cases of various internal combustion engines and the oil gas (20%) leaked from the oil tank, and the combustion exhaust gas and the leaked oil gas contain pollutants harmful to human bodies, such as: sulfur dioxide (SO)2) Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbons (HC), Nitrogen Oxides (NO)x) Etc.; among them, since petroleum fuels (gasoline, diesel oil, kerosene, etc.) and coal, which are generally used, contain a small amount of sulfur (0.5% to 5%), when these fuels are burned, sulfur (S) therein is mixed with oxygen (O) in the air2) A chemical reaction takes place, and sulfur dioxide (SO) is produced2). Taking coal with 5% sulfur as an example, a one thousand megawatt thermal power plant will produce up to six hundred tons of sulfur dioxide per day. Other pollution sources of sulfur dioxide include metal refineries, sulfuric acid plants, petroleum refineries, etc. of sulfur ores, SO that sulfur dioxide is very commonly and abundantly present in various vehicles burning fossil fuels or coals or various industrial waste gases, and is finally discharged directly into the air, whereby sulfur dioxide (SO) is generated2) Is called "" primary contaminant ""; in addition, there is another air pollutant, which is generated by the chemical reaction of the primary pollutant in the air, and is called "secondary pollutant", wherein sulfur trioxide (SO)3) A typical example of "secondary pollutants" in industrial air pollution, which is sulfur dioxide (SO)2) Under the irradiation of sunlight, with oxygen O in the air2The following chemical reactions were carried out:
2SO2+O2→2SO3
in fact, sulfur trioxide (SO)3) The life cycle in the air is quite short, and the water molecules in the air are very easy to react chemically to generate sulfuric acid molecules; on the other hand, sulfuric acid also reacts chemically with ammonia in the air to produce ammonium sulfate (NH)4)2SO4And thus sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate are also secondary pollutants of industrial pollution.
Urban light smoke is particularly severe on warm, dry and sunny days because its primary pollutants are primarily Nitric Oxide (NO), which is the nitrogen and oxygen in the air, produced by the following chemical reactions at the high temperatures of various urban vehicle engines (i.e., the aforementioned internal combustion engines):
N2+O2+ Hot → 2NO
In fact, this nitric oxide generation process is the same as the nitric oxide process that occurs in lightning. Other primary pollutants of "light smoke" include Hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) produced by gasoline evaporation. According to research, a general internal combustion engine often generates about 230 g of carbon monoxide pollutants per 1 l of gasoline burned due to poor combustion efficiency of fuel, and in addition, although nitrogen monoxide (NO) is a colorless gas, it slowly chemically reacts with oxygen in the air to generate yellowish brown nitrogen dioxide (NO) when it is discharged into the air along with vehicle exhaust gas2) (ii) a Then, under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays in sunlight, nitrogen dioxide (NO)2) It is also cleaved to yield Nitric Oxide (NO) and atomic oxygen O by the following photochemical reaction:
NO2+ UV → NO + O
At this time, the chemical reaction capability phase due to atomic oxygen OWhen strong, it is very easy to react with oxygen molecule O in air2The following chemical action takes place to generate ozone (O)3):
O*+O2+M→O3+M*;
Wherein, M can be nitrogen molecule, oxygen molecule or solid particle, which is used to absorb the heat released in the process of generating ozone molecule; ozone (O)3) Is a very pungent molecule whose presence can be easily identified by our nose if there is one ozone molecule per hundred million gas molecules in the air. The formation of "light smoke" also causes different pollutants to be hidden in "light smoke", wherein, referring to fig. 1, the periods of highest concentration occurring in each working day are different from each other, and the concentration of nitric oxide in the air will reach the maximum value in the working period of seven am; subsequently, the nitric oxide will decrease due to the gradual interaction with oxygen, and instead the concentration of nitrogen dioxide will gradually increase until around nine am, the maximum concentration will be reached; on a sunny day, ultraviolet rays in sunlight can continuously catalyze the cracking reaction of nitrogen dioxide, so that the concentration of ozone in the air reaches the maximum value in the noon.
On the other hand, if the nitrogen dioxide does not undergo the photochemical reaction, the following chemical reaction with water molecules in the air occurs to produce nitric acid (HNO)3) And nitrous acid (HNO)2):
2NO2+H2O→HNO3+HNO2
The chemical reaction also helps the condensation of moisture in the air. However, because nitric acid and nitrous acid are extremely acidic, inhalation of air containing such liquid droplets can cause considerable harm to the human body. Furthermore, Hydrocarbon (HC) emitted from gasoline volatilization or combustion will also be mixed with ozone (O)3) Or oxygen (O) in atomic form, to produce aldehyde compounds (RCHO) or ketone compounds (RCOR):
HC+O*→HCO
HC+O3→HCO3
HCO+O2→HCO3
HCO3+ HC → RCHO or RCOR;
wherein HC is a hydrocarbon, R represents an alkyl group, RCHO is an aldehyde compound, and RCOR is a ketone compound. In addition, in Nitrogen Oxide (NO) and ozone (O)3) In the presence of a Hydrocarbon (HCO)3) The following chemical reactions also occur to produce peroxyacyl nitrates (peroxicy nitrates PANs) and other products:
HCO3+NO→HCO2+NO2
HCO3+O2→O3+HCO2
HCO3+NO2→RCO3NO2(i.e., PANs) + other products
These nitrogen dioxide (NO)2) Ozone (O)3) Nitric acid (HNO)3) Nitrous acid (HNO)2) Aldehydes (RCHO), ketones (RCOR), peroxyacyl nitrates (PANs) and various other organic compounds that are formed therewith are secondary pollutants of the "haze".
When the exhaust gas and the oil-gas leakage are inhaled into the body, not only can the light people hurt the organs and nerves of the people, but also the serious people may cause poisoning and death, so in order to avoid the harm of the exhaust gas and the oil-gas leakage to the human body, the relevant companies and the governing organs of all countries in the world are not involved in the research, how to perform the corresponding oxidation and reduction treatment on the exhaust gas and the oil-gas leakage to change the exhaust gas and the oil-gas leakage into the nontoxic gas, and then the nontoxic gas is safely exhausted into the atmosphere. Particularly, in recent thirty years, under the strong pressure of increasing consciousness of environmental protection, energy saving and carbon reduction, all countries in the world do not aim at various air pollution causes derived from various internal combustion engines (no matter the internal combustion engines burning liquid or gaseous fuel) to make extensive research and analysis, and the following important causes of air pollution are summarized according to the research and analysis results:
1. fuel (whether liquid or gaseous fuel) air-to-air ratio:generally, when the fuel-air mixture ratio used in each internal combustion engine is lean as compared with the theoretical fuel-air mixture ratio, the CO and HC discharged therefrom are reduced, but NO is discharged therefromxWill increase, when more diluted, NOxAlso decrease, but easily extinguish to increase HC; conversely, when the fuel-air mixture ratio used in each of the internal combustion engines is rich in the theoretical fuel-air mixture ratio, NO is generatedxWill decrease, but CO, HC will increase;
2. ignition period: when the ignition timing is retarded, the temperature of each combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is lowered to make NOxThe obvious reduction, the slow burning result also can make the exhaust system maintain the high temperature state, promote the oxidation, thus make HC reduce.
3. Atmospheric conditions: the increase in atmospheric humidity and decrease in oxygen concentration lower the combustion temperature and reduce NOxOccurs. Atmospheric pressure affects intake pressure, engine horsepower, but does not directly affect combustion temperature, but only indirectly affects fuel-air mixture ratio.
4. Load and revolution: when the load increases, the intake pressure rises, with the result that the combustion temperature rises, and NO is caused to flowxThe concentration is increased. At the same load, the discharge amount increases as the rotation speed increases.
5. Fuel quality: the composition of the fuel has little influence on CO, the hydrogen-carbon ratio of the common fuel is small, and the combustion temperature is high for olefinic and aromatic fuels NOxThe emissions are high and the emission of HC is also affected by the fuel quality.
6. The main design of each of these internal combustion engines: such as: the stroke volume, stroke/internal diameter ratio, surface area/volume ratio, combustion chamber shape, spark plug position, compression ratio, intake ports, intake valve configuration, valve timing, etc. have a significant impact on the composition of the exhaust pollutants.
Based on the important reasons for air pollution caused by the various internal combustion engines, the relevant industries in all countries around the world take different countermeasures for reducing the emission of the polluted gas according to the design of various internal combustion engines; some of them are used to reduce CO and HC, and some are used to reduce NOxAnd some can be reduced at the same timeCO, HC and NOxThe content of (a). Now, in order to make sure that the various air pollution reducing devices and designs which are widely applied to various internal combustion engines at present are briefly described as follows:
1. an automatic temperature-regulating air filter is additionally arranged: because the change of the temperature in the combustion chamber of each internal combustion engine changes the atomization state of the fuel, the operation performance of each internal combustion engine is poor, and the concentration of harmful substances such as CO, HC and the like in the discharged exhaust gas is increased; therefore, the temperature of the sucked air can be always maintained at a proper temperature (such as 40 ℃) by additionally arranging the automatic temperature-adjusting air filter on each internal-combustion engine, the running performance during warm-up (warm up) can be effectively improved, the atomization state of the fuel can be changed along with the change of the temperature in the combustion chamber of each internal-combustion engine, and the fuel atomization can be promoted, so that the stable fuel-air mixing ratio is maintained, each internal-combustion engine can be always operated at the optimal state, and harmful substances such as CO, HC and the like in the exhaust gas can be greatly reduced;
2. improvement of intake manifold and intake port configuration: the design improvement is carried out aiming at the inner diameters and the internal shapes of the steam inlet manifold and the air inlet of each internal combustion engine, so that the steam inlet manifold and the air inlet after the design improvement can ensure that the fuel mixture is uniformly distributed to each combustion chamber (namely, a cylinder), thereby fully combusting the fuel to generate the optimal combustion efficiency and effectively reducing the contents of CO and HC in the waste gas;
3. the improvement of the carburetor configuration: the carburetor structure of each internal combustion engine is improved, so that the precision of the improved carburetor and each oil nozzle in the carburetor is increased, the efficiency of a choke valve control system, an idle speed compensation device, an idle speed fuel cut-off device and the like can be effectively improved, fuel mixed gas can be uniformly distributed to each combustion chamber, fuel can be fully combusted, the optimal combustion efficiency is generated, and the content of CO and HC in waste gas is effectively reduced;
4. improvement of carburetor control device during deceleration: the design improvement is carried out on the devices (such as a throttle valve opener, a buffer and the like) which discharge the waste gas during the deceleration in the carburetor of each internal combustion engine, so that the carburetor after the design improvement can be effective during the decelerationThe emission quantity of the exhaust gas is reduced, thereby greatly reducing CO, HC and NO in the exhaust gasxAnd (4) content.
5. Improvement of combustion chamber configuration: the design improvement is carried out aiming at the configuration of each combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, so that the designed and improved combustion chamber can fully combust fuel to generate the optimal combustion efficiency, thereby greatly reducing CO, HC and NO in the exhaust gasxContent (c);
6. using a lean fuel mixture: although the most fundamental way to reduce CO and HC is to use a relatively lean fuel/air mixture, if the fuel/air mixture is too lean, the fuel/air mixture is likely to be difficult to combust, and the speed after combustion tends to be slow; in view of the above, the industry has developed and designed a new invention technology named CVCC (compound wind controlled combustion), in which CVCC ignites with a richer fuel mixture and then combusts with a leaner fuel mixture;
7. addition of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR): according to the research, the reduction of the maximum combustion temperature in the combustion chamber can reduce NOxTherefore, the maximum combustion temperature can be lowered by taking out a part of the exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold and returning it to the intake manifold, thereby greatly reducing NOxGeneration of (1);
8. various devices capable of increasing the combustion speed are additionally arranged: such as: the auxiliary inlet valve, the projecting wall in the combustion chamber and two spark plugs are added to increase the combustion speed, so that the fuel can be fully combusted to generate the best combustion efficiency, thereby greatly reducing CO, HC and NO in the waste gasxContent (c);
9. the secondary air supply device is added: the secondary air supply device makes CO and HC discharged from the combustion chamber obtain sufficient oxygen in the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter, so as to perform oxidation reaction, so that CO and HC can be completely oxidized into CO2And H2O, thereby greatly reducing CO, HC and NOxA discharge amount;
10. improvement of ignition device: in order to ensure that the ignition system has more reliable ignition performance, the industry also makes many improvements on the ignition device so as to lead the spark plug to emit stronger spark by improving high voltage; among them, the most improvement is made to increase the energy of the ignition coil, others are: the improved designs such as changing the shape of the spark plug, increasing the electrode gap, improving the wiring connection and high voltage wires are not exhaustive; recently, the most widely used users are electronic ignition devices, microcomputer ignition devices and direct ignition devices;
11. improvement and addition of oxidation catalyst converter: the oxidation catalyst can oxidize CO and HC in the exhaust gas into harmless CO2And steam H2O, and the catalyst only promotes the oxidation and has no change per se;
12. improvement and addition of the three-way catalyst converter: the three-way catalytic converter can oxidize the toxic components CO and HC in the exhaust gas into CO when the exhaust gas discharged by each internal combustion engine passes through the three-way catalytic converter2And H2O, and NOxReduction to N2. Three-way catalyst for CO, HC and NO in narrow region near theoretical fuel-air mixture ratioxThe three pollution components have high purification effect, thereby greatly reducing CO, HC and NOxThe discharge amount of (4);
13. adding a fuel injection device: various internal combustion engines using fuel injection supply devices can strictly and accurately control the injection quantity, the injection time and the fuel-air mixing ratio of fuel, so that the generation of CO, HC and NOx can be effectively reduced at the same time;
14. a reduction device for leaked oil gas is additionally arranged; the leaked and volatilized oil gas can be recovered from the crank case and the oil tank by additionally arranging the reduction device, and the recovered oil gas is reversely thrown into the air inlet system to be completely combusted, so that the leaked and volatilized oil gas cannot be discharged to the outside of various internal combustion engines.
In fact, in spite of the above-mentioned improvement design of the internal combustion engines in the industry, until now, the harmful pollutants discharged from the internal combustion engines still continuously poisons the vulnerable ecological environment, so that the ecological environment gradually deteriorates to the extent that it is difficult to recover to normal, and the extreme climate has also seriously affected the normal life of human beings with the occurrence of hole-breaking and greenhouse effect in the ozone layer. In order to solve the problem of air pollution caused by various internal combustion engines, the most fundamental method is to reduce the use of various internal combustion engines, and to effectively improve the energy efficiency of the fuel, so that the fuel can not only be optimally combusted during the combustion process to generate the maximum power, but also harmful pollutants can be eliminated during the optimal combustion process without remaining in the discharged exhaust gas. Therefore, the usage amount of petrochemical fuel can be reduced effectively, the aim of low-pollution or zero-pollution exhaust emission can be effectively achieved, and only then, a clean and comfortable sustainable living space can be provided for the subsequent generation.
Therefore, how to utilize a novel device which has a simple structure and is easy to be implemented on various internal combustion engines (no matter liquid or gaseous fuel) used in the market at present, so that the novel device can perform the conversion of improving the energy efficiency on the fuel for a long time before the fuel is supplied to each combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, so as to effectively improve the combustion efficiency of the fuel, thereby the fuel can be fully combusted after being input into each combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, not only can generate the maximum power, but also can burn up the harmful pollutants contained in the fuel, and cannot remain in the exhaust gas discharged by the fuel, thereby ensuring that the new and old vehicles or the new and old industries can rapidly and effectively reduce the usage amount of petrochemical fuel and the pollution problem caused by the fossil fuel with the improvement cost which is easy to bear, particularly realizing the optimal effects of energy saving, carbon reduction and air pollution prevention, and the like, the present invention is an important issue to be solved in the countries and related industries in the world, and is also an important issue to be discussed in detail later.
Detailed Description
In order that the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the following specific embodiments.
The far infrared ray raw materials generally used today can be broadly classified into two kinds, one is natural ore having far infrared ray radiation energy, such as: at present, the industry mainly grinds the far infrared raw materials into powder, mixes the powder into polymer fiber raw materials, and produces far infrared heat-storage and heat-preservation fiber products through the processes of spinning, weaving and the like; among them, the most remarkable is the far infrared products which can generate the most beneficial 4 μm to 14 μm wavelength (i.e. the breeding light) to the human body, especially, for the old living in cold climate, because the exercise amount is less and the physical strength is weaker, and many pathological changes are easy to generate, the heat preservation effect of the old can be effectively improved by using the far infrared heat-storage heat-preservation fiber product, absorbing the solar energy and the heat energy released by the human body, and then converting to emit the far infrared with the 4 μm to 14 μm wavelength, thereby achieving the functions and effects of promoting the blood circulation, activating the cells and promoting the health.
Generally speaking, water molecules in blood usually exist by mixing single water molecules and large water molecular groups, and when far infrared rays or electromagnetic waves with the wavelength of 4-14 μm) irradiate the large water molecular groups, the large water molecular groups are induced to vibrate and disperse, so that the large water molecular groups are cracked and refined into single water molecules; after the supply of far infrared ray energy is terminated, the refined single water molecules are gradually agglomerated and are recovered to form large water molecular groups, so that if the far infrared ray is continuously generated on the surface of a human body, the far infrared ray can continuously generate resonance action with water molecules, the large water molecular groups in water are continuously decomposed and refined, and the water molecules in the human body are further activated, thus effectively achieving the functions and effects of activating tissue cells in the human body, promoting blood circulation and improving metabolism.
There are many materials with far infrared radiation characteristics, and the materials (hereinafter referred to as "far infrared materials") capable of generating far infrared radiation substances are classified into the following five types according to their chemical structures:
(1) oxide: such as: alumina (Al)2O3) Zirconium oxide (ZrO)2) Magnesium oxide (MgO), titanium oxide (TiO)2) Silicon oxide (SiO)2) Etc.;
(2) carbide: such as: zirconium carbide (ZrC), silicon carbide (SiC), boron carbide (B)4C) Tantalum carbide (TaC);
(3) boride:such as: titanium boride (TiB)2) Zirconium boride (ZrB)2) Chromium boride (CrB)2) Etc.;
(4) silicide: such as: titanium silicide (TiSi)2) Molybdenum silicide (MoSi)2) Tungsten silicide (WSi)2) Etc.; and
(5) nitride: such as: silicon nitride (Si)3N4), titanium nitride (TiN), and the like.
Among these far infrared ray materials, oxides and carbides are most commonly used in the industry, and therefore, although the following examples of the present invention are described by taking only the oxide-based far infrared ray material particles as examples, the present invention is not limited thereto, and carbide-based or other far infrared ray material particles may be substituted for the oxide-based far infrared ray material particles in other examples of the present invention according to actual needs, and thus, it is clarified that the far infrared ray particles mentioned in the following description and claims of the present invention refer to any one of the above-mentioned far infrared ray material particles or a mixture of the above-mentioned far infrared ray material particles.
Generally, Gasoline (the aforementioned fossil fuel) is a fraction of crude oil distillation products, and is a hydrocarbon compound mainly composed of five to ten carbons and having a boiling point of about fifteen to two hundred degrees celsius. Typically, the crude oil produced at an oil field contains only ten to forty percent (on average about twenty-seven percent) of gasoline. The structure of the hydrocarbon constituting gasoline includes paraffin hydrocarbons (i.e., chain hydrocarbons (parafins)), cyclic hydrocarbons (naphethenes), aromatic hydrocarbons (Aromatics), and the like; wherein paraffin hydrocarbon is used as the main component of the gasoline. Since the last century, the number of automobiles in all countries of the world is increased sharply, and the gasoline demand is increased day by day, and in order to increase the gasoline ratio of crude oil, the industry especially utilizes high temperature to crack the high molecular hydrocarbon into gasoline with smaller molecular weight; conversely, gasoline with larger molecules can be polymerized from gasoline with smaller molecules. Thus, the gasoline content of the crude oil can be adjusted to seventy percent in addition to gasoline originally existing in the crude oil and formed by cracking or polymerization. Then, in order to improve the quality of gasoline, the gasoline can have better combustion effect when being combusted in an engine. There have also been many oil refining processes developed in the industry, such as cyclizing long chain hydrocarbons to form cyclic hydrocarbons, and dehydrogenating (dehydrogenating) the cyclic hydrocarbons to aromatic hydrocarbons by three reactions:
cracking;
second, Polymerization (Polymerization); and
and thirdly, Dehydrogenation.
Because the gasoline formed by changing the molecular structure of hydrocarbon has higher Octane value (Octane Rating), the gasoline does not need to be added with tetraethane Lead (Pb (C)2H5)4) To increase its octane number. Generally, when gasoline is ignited in a cylinder of an automobile engine (i.e., the internal combustion engine), firstly, the gasoline is detonated in each cylinder, and then, secondary explosion which damages the engine is caused, the secondary explosion can cause vibration of the engine, in order to reduce the impact shock of the engine, chemists try to add different chemical agents in a laboratory to observe the effect of the gasoline on the shock resistance, and the experimental result shows that tetraethane lead has a remarkable shock resistance effect, and only one to three cc of tetra-ethane lead is added into one gallon of gasoline, so that the impact shock of the engine can be reduced to a degree of almost completely disappearing; meanwhile, chemists have also observed the effect of different gasoline compositions on engine shock, and found that the minimum shock of gasoline consisting of pure isooctane is defined as the octane number of isooctane being one hundred, and n-heptane, which is enough to cause considerable shock, being zero, and the octane number is used as an index of octane number, and the shock caused by the combustion of all hydrocarbons or fuels is compared with the index determined by isooctane and n-heptane.
In 1951, Livingston found that all hydrocarbons containing Structural Group (Structural Group) have the property of inhibiting gasoline oxidation and reducing shock. Thus, hydrocarbons having a ring bond, such as: aromatic hydrocarbons and cyclic hydrocarbons are required to be burnt at a relatively high temperature to be oxidized because they contain branched isoalkanes; as for the paraffin hydrocarbons in the form of long chainIt will oxidize at low temperatures and cause subsequent combustion to produce a knock that damages the engine. Accordingly, increasing the number of branches of the chain hydrocarbon increases the oxidation temperature and octane number, such as C8H18The oxidation temperature and octane number of the hydrocarbon compound (2) are increased due to the increase of the number of the branches; as for the cyclic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons, both have generally higher octane numbers than paraffins, because the cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons have a cyclic structure and are denser in structure; on the other hand, if a long chain paraffin hydrocarbon is added to a cyclic hydrocarbon, the octane number is lowered.
Symmetric molecules in the cyclic hydrocarbon having a higher octane number than asymmetric molecules; therefore, in order to increase the octane number without adding additional additives to gasoline, the best method developed in the industry is to convert paraffins and cyclic hydrocarbons into aromatic hydrocarbons, which is also an important technology in the refining process. Further, the most useful hydrocarbon constituting gasoline is benzene, which is a main raw material for petrochemistry; many petroleum by-products are refined from benzene; the benzene itself can also be prepared from methylcyclopentane (methylcyclopentane), Cyclohexane (Cyclohexane), hexane, etc. under the catalysis of platinum as catalyst.
Platinum (Platinum) is a chemically very stable inert noble metal, which is silver in normal form, but if it is made into nano-scale particles, its color will be changed from silver to black, so it is called "Platinum black", at this time, due to size effect and large proportion of surface area effect, Platinum will be changed from inert substance to catalyst with excellent activity, which can generate approximate atomic property and has electric potential, and can reach antioxidation effect by means of transmitting electric potential to active oxygen, besides, because the reflectivity of nano Platinum particles to light energy and heat energy is very low, usually less than 1%, i.e. about several microns diameter can be completely extinguished, and becomes a high-efficiency energy conversion material.
Based on the above characteristics of nano platinum particles, far infrared particles and gasoline, the inventors thought and utilized the characteristics of nano platinum particles and far infrared particles to develop a nano noble metal far infrared energy conversion device capable of improving the fuel energy efficiency for a long time and a manufacturing method thereof, so that nano platinum particles can be firmly attached to far infrared particles to form a nano composite film, the nano composite film can efficiently absorb the heat energy or light energy emitted from the surroundings through nano platinum particles in the light or dark environment to excite the far infrared particles to generate far infrared rays for a long time, the nano composite film can be sintered and coated on the surface and holes of an energy conversion material or device made of porous material, when the energy conversion material or device is installed on the fuel supply pipeline of an internal combustion engine, the far infrared rays generated by the excitation are introduced into the fuel to be supplied to the combustion chambers of the respective internal combustion engines to perform the energy-increasing conversion process on the fuel, thereby effectively exciting the optimum energy efficiency of the fuel, enabling the fuel to be completely combusted in the combustion chambers of the respective internal combustion engines to generate the maximum power, and enabling the pollutants contained in the fuel to be completely eliminated by the high-efficiency combustion without remaining in the exhaust gas discharged from the respective internal combustion engines.
In addition, since other noble metals (such as palladium (Pd) and nickel (Ni)) become black (such as palladium black or nickel black) after being nanocrystallized, and have very low reflectivity to light energy and heat energy, the present invention is not limited to the nano platinum particles in the following embodiments of the present invention, and other nano noble metal particles can be used according to actual requirements in other embodiments of the present invention. Accordingly, the nano noble metal particles mentioned in the following description and claims of the present invention are not limited to nano platinum particles, but generally refer to all nano noble metal particles that become black after being nano-sized, or a mixture of the nano noble metal particles, and it is well known that the nano noble metal particles are mixed.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the energy conversion device 1 of the present invention can be composed of a plurality of energy conversion materials 10, or the energy conversion device 2 can be composed of only a single energy conversion material, that is, the energy conversion device 1 of the present invention can be composed of a plurality of energy conversion materials 10, and the energy conversion device 2 itself can be equivalent to an energy conversion material, as will be shown in advance. The energy conversion material is in a granular form (as shown in fig. 2) or a columnar form (as shown in fig. 3), and can be made of a porous material (such as a ceramic material or other porous material with far infrared radiation characteristic), such that a plurality of holes 101, 201 are uniformly distributed on the surface and inside the material, and at least one fuel channel 102, 202 is formed in the energy conversion device 1, 2 along the axial direction, so as to refer to fig. 2 and 3, when the energy conversion device 1, 2 is respectively installed on a fuel supply pipeline 3 of an internal combustion engine, the fuel 4 (no matter liquid or gaseous fuel) conveyed in the fuel supply pipeline 3 can smoothly pass through each fuel channel 102, 202, and after the energy conversion device 1, 2 applies conversion processing for improving energy efficiency to the fuel, the fuel is sequentially put into a combustion chamber (i.e., cylinder), combustion is performed.
Now referring to the manufacturing method of the present invention, referring to fig. 2 and 3 again, in the first embodiment, a worker can first add the nano platinum particles, the far infrared particles and the medium particles (such as the reducing agent, the water-soluble acryl powder and the water-based adhesive) into an aqueous solution, so as to utilize the penetration effect generated by the temperature difference, so that the nano platinum particles, the far infrared particles and the medium particles can penetrate into the surface and the holes 101 of the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) along with the aqueous solution; then, the medium particles infiltrated into the surface of the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) and the holes 101 (or the holes 201) are melted at a high temperature, and combined with the nano platinum particles and the far infrared particles, and uniformly sintered and coated on the surface of the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) and the holes 101 (or the holes 201) to form a layer of nano platinum particles and far infrared particle film. In particular, the present invention can perform the above-mentioned manufacturing method for each energy conversion material 10 one by one, or can combine a plurality of energy conversion materials 10 into the energy conversion device 1 and then perform the above-mentioned manufacturing method, which will be described in the foregoing.
In the first embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 4, the manufacturing method includes the following steps:
(401) uniformly mixing components such as water-soluble platinum salt, far infrared particles and medium particles into water according to a predetermined weight percentage to form a first mixed solution, wherein platinum ions are dissociated in the first mixed solution due to the fact that the water-soluble platinum salt can be completely dissolved in the first mixed solution, and each platinum ion is easily bonded with each far infrared particle so as to be uniformly and stably attached to the surface of each far infrared particle in the preparation process of the first mixed solution; the reducing agent can provide electrons in the first mixed solution, so that the platinum ions can be respectively reduced into nano platinum particles by acquiring the electrons and are gradually and stably attached to the surfaces of the far infrared particles; after the components are uniformly mixed in the first mixed solution, keeping the first mixed solution at a first temperature (such as room temperature 25-30 ℃);
(402) placing each energy conversion material 10 into an oven, baking to a second temperature (such as 75-95 ℃), keeping the second temperature for 1-2 hours, and then placing each energy conversion material 10 into the first mixed solution, so that the first mixed solution can uniformly permeate the surfaces and the holes 101 of the energy conversion materials 10 along with the nano platinum particles, the far infrared particles and the medium particles by utilizing the permeation effect generated by the temperature difference;
(403) putting each energy conversion material 10 into an oven again, baking to the second temperature (such as 75-95 ℃), and keeping the second temperature for 1-2 hours, so that after the moisture contained in each energy conversion material 10 is completely volatilized, the materials are allowed to stand to room temperature; and
(404) finally, each energy conversion material 10 is placed into a high-temperature sintering furnace, and each energy conversion material 10 is heated to a third temperature (for example, 175-200 ℃) within two hours; then, heating each energy conversion material 10 to a fourth temperature (e.g., 500-600 ℃) within six hours; at this time, since the material properties of the dielectric particles are similar to those of the energy conversion materials 10, the dielectric particles can be melted by the high temperature applied by the high temperature sintering furnace, and sintered together with the nano platinum particles and the far infrared particles and coated on the surface and the holes 101 of the energy conversion materials 10, thereby forming a composite film containing the nano platinum particles and the far infrared particles.
Referring to fig. 4, in the first embodiment, the first mixed solution is formed by uniformly mixing water, far infrared particles of oxides, water-soluble platinum salt, reducing agent, water-soluble acrylic powder, and water-based adhesive according to the following weight percentages:
(1) water: the weight percentage is 35 percent to 97 percent;

Since the nano platinum particles in the first mixed solution can be uniformly and stably attached to the surface of each far infrared particle during the preparation process of the first mixed solution, when the far infrared particles are sintered and coated on the surface of the energy conversion material 10 and the holes 101 to manufacture the energy conversion device 1, as shown in fig. 5, the far infrared particles 51 in the nano composite film can be uniformly distributed on the surface of each energy conversion material 10 and the holes 101 through the medium particles 50, and at this time, the nano platinum particles 52 are also uniformly and stably attached to the surface of the far infrared particles 51, and the nano platinum particles 52 have an extremely low reflectivity (less than 1%) to the light energy 60 and the heat energy 61. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, when the energy conversion devices 1 and 2 are installed in the fuel supply pipeline 3 of an internal combustion engine, the fuel 4 conveyed in the fuel supply pipeline 3 can smoothly pass through the energy conversion devices 1 and 2, and after the energy conversion devices 1 and 2 apply the conversion treatment for improving the energy efficiency to the fuel 4, the fuel is sequentially input into the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engines for combustion.

Experimental tests prove that the energy conversion devices 1 and 2 manufactured according to the invention can actually greatly reduce the oil consumption rate of each internal combustion engine by 8%.
Although gold (Au) is a very stable material, it can be used as a catalyst because of its strong adsorption of oxygen due to its unique potential characteristics, and also as a catalyst for oxidizing carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide according to the findings of japanese scientists, it is commonly used to manufacture masks, gas masks, water heaters, etc. to effectively prevent and treat carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, compared with the platinum catalyst commonly used in industry, the gold catalyst needs to react at high temperature and cannot have water vapor; on the contrary, the nano gold catalyst can react at room temperature and is not influenced by water vapor; the following description is briefly made with respect to the aforementioned platinum nanoparticles and the photocatalyst effect of the gold nanoparticles:
generally, after platinum and gold are nanocrystallized, since the grain size of platinum and gold becomes equal to or smaller than that of light wave, this size effect will result in the increase of the interval between conduction band and valence band, so that the light absorption capability thereof is significantly enhanced, so that when a photon with certain energy or a photon with energy exceeding the band gap energy of the semiconductor is incident on the semiconductor electronic structure of platinum nanoparticle or gold nanoparticle under the irradiation of light, an electron is excited from valence band to conduction band, and a hole is left, the hole of valence band will rob the hydroxyl electron in the surrounding environment, so that the hydroxyl becomes a radical, and thus can be used as a strong oxidant.
Based on the photocatalyst and strong oxidation characteristics of the nano platinum particles and the nano gold particles, the inventors also think that the characteristics are utilized to effectively improve the energy conversion efficiency of the far infrared particles, and enable the energy conversion devices 1 and 2 of the invention to have better catalyst or catalysis, so that the oxygen content of the fuel 4 flowing through the energy conversion devices 1 and 2 can be effectively increased due to the better catalyst or catalysis, and the energy conversion devices 1 and 2 can provide the best conversion effect for improving the energy efficiency for the fuel 4 more quickly and stably; accordingly, referring to fig. 2 and 3, in a second embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises mixing the components such as the nano gold particles and the dielectric particles (such as the water-soluble acrylic powder and the water-based adhesive) into an aqueous solution according to a predetermined weight percentage to form a second mixed solution required by the present invention; then, by using the permeation effect generated by the temperature difference, the nano gold particles and the medium particles can permeate into the surface of the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) and the holes 101 (or the holes 201) along with the second aqueous solution; finally, melting the medium particles infiltrated into the surface of the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) and the holes 101 (or the holes 201) at a high temperature, so that the nano gold particles can be combined with the nano platinum particles and the far infrared particles thereon, and then sintering and coating the mixture on the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) together to form a composite film containing the nano gold particles, the nano platinum particles and the far infrared particles, as shown in fig. 6, the manufacturing method of the second embodiment comprises the following steps:

(603) then, putting the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) into an oven again, baking to the second temperature (such as 75-95 ℃), and keeping the second temperature for 1-2 hours, so that the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) is allowed to stand to room temperature after the moisture contained in the material is completely volatilized; and
(604) finally, the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) is placed into a high-temperature sintering furnace, and the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) is heated to the third temperature (for example, 175-200 ℃) within two hours; then, the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) is heated to the fourth temperature (e.g. 500-700 ℃) within six hours, at this time, because the material characteristics of the medium particles are similar to the material characteristics of the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2), the medium particles can be melted by the high temperature applied by the high temperature sintering furnace, and the nano gold particles can be sintered together with the nano platinum particles and the far infrared particles and coated on the surface of the energy conversion material 10 (or the energy conversion device 2) and the holes 101 (or the holes 201), so as to form a layer of composite film containing the nano gold particles, the nano platinum particles and the far infrared particles.
