DEVICE FOR FACILITATING STARING OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F02N17/04 

FIELD: engine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device comprise burner with the source of ignition of fuel, gas duct, device for supplying air to the gas duct, fuel pump connected from one side to the fuel tank of the engine and from the other side with the burner, thermoelectric generator with hot and cold junctions connected with the battery via a voltage converter, heat exchanger for cold junction connected with the cooling system of the engine, and pump for supplying coolant to the heat exchanger. The hot junction is mounted in the gas duct downstream of the burner. The device additionally has control electronic unit, heater mounted in the fuel tank, gauges for measuring temperature of oil and coolant connected with the inputs of the electronic control unit, and electromagnet valves with actuators mounted at the inlet of the pump for supplying coolant and at the outlet of the heat exchanger for cold junction. The heater, actuators of the fuel pump, pump for coolant, device for supplying air, and electromagnet valves are connected with the voltage converter of the thermoelectric generator. The first, second and third outputs of the electronic control unit are connected with the actuators of the fuel pump, pump for coolant, and device for supplying air, respectively, for permitting control of their discharge. The fourth and fifth outputs of the electronic control unit are connected with the actuators of the electromagnet valves for permitting control of the flow rate of coolant. The outlet of the air duct underlies the engine crankcase.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and reliability of starting.
