Liquid hydrocarbon fuels and fuel compositions based on them tend to lose structural homogeneity during storage, leading to the formation of sediment and agglomerates that accumulate in storage tanks. This problem becomes particularly significant for synthetic fuels produced through the recycling of plastic waste and used automobile tires, as such fuels may contain atypical contaminants, including compounds such as formaldehyde. Ensuring homogeneous fuel composition is therefore essential for efficient and stable combustion processes.
This paper presents an innovative technology for the dynamic homogenization of liquid fuels and fuel mixtures using a specialized device integrated directly into the fuel pipeline. The proposed system consists of an accelerating hydrodynamic section, a vortex-generation module, and a turbulence amplification unit connected to the inlet of the high-pressure pump of an internal combustion engine.
The technology implements a sequential dynamic homogenization process in which controlled turbulence and vortex flow formation significantly reduce the particle size within the fuel mixture to below one micron. As a result, the fuel acquires properties comparable to a nanoscale homogenized emulsion, which improves fuel stability and combustion efficiency.
The proposed principle can be applied not only to internal combustion engines but also to fuel supply systems in boilers, burners, turbines, and other thermodynamic equipment, where maintaining fuel homogeneity contributes to improved operational performance and energy efficiency.
