AIR CLEANER FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: engine engineering. SUBSTANCE: air cleaner has cylindrical case 1 with inlet radial branch pipe and outlet axial branch pipe 4, ring filtering member 7, and apparatus for electrical treating of air received in member 7 space and made of net-shaped plates 9 alternately connected to source 15 of high voltage and a frame and spaced with dielectric plates 10. Plates 9,10 is concentrically secured to perforated cylinder 11 coupled with branch pipe 4. Under the action of AC field corona discharge occurs in space between plates 9 contributing to conversion of oxygen molecules to ozone. Air enriched by ozone is fed through branch pipe 4 for ozonization of fuel mixture. EFFECT: enhanced quality of cleaning. 2 dwg
