Abstract
This work presents the methodology of using wasted lubricants as a highly efficient fuel as water-fuel emulsions, which containing up to 70% water. They burning in burners under conditions of action high-frequency electrical discharges. It has been shown that the viscosity of a water-oil emulsion with a high water part (more than 50%) outweighs the viscosity of pure oil. With a low water part (10-20%), the emulsion is the most stable. With more water, the semi-delamination time decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to spray the emulsion near the site of the making.
The results of natural experiments and prospects of the proposed methodology are given. Combustion of a water-in-oil emulsion with a volume content of 50-70% water is possible in the presence of a discharge of high-frequency signals. Independent combustion of the emulsion without the support of a small diesel fuel torch is possible with sufficient heating of the combustion chamber. To implement combustion, the burner for liquid fuels was modernized by adding a pre-chamber between the burner and the nozzle or boiler.
To organize effective spraying of water-oil emulsion with a large amount of water (up to 70%), it is necessary to ensure sufficient heating of the emulsion in the pipelines. First, this reduces its viscosity, making it easier to pump the emulsion through the supply systems of the spraying device. Otherwise, it is necessary to serve under a pressure, so that the water at a high temperature (above 100 ° C) is remained liquid. When leaving the nozzle under pressure, the water “boils” (“micro-bump” drops of emulsion), which further disperses the burning liquid.
The peculiarity of this burner is the action of a high-frequency streamer in the area of spraying emulsion droplets inside the forechamber. The use of water-fuel emulsions allows to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide, reduce its fire and explosion hazard during transportation and storage. Effectiveness assessment of this complex showed that energy expenditures can reach percents of levels compared to full heat release.Thus, the possibility of using such water-oil emulsions as alternative fuels is shown.
