INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH EXHAUST GAS CLEANING, AND VEHICLE PROVIDED THERE WITH

Abstract: An internal combustion engine has an outlet for discharging exhaust gasses and an inlet for introducing a gas into the internal combustion engine, and an exhaust gas system including an exhaust gas conduit having an inlet which is connected with the outlet of the internal combustion engine so as to receive the exhaust gasses from the internal combustion engine, and an outlet which is connected with the gas inlet of the internal combustion engine so that the exhaust gasses which pass into the conduit from the outlet of the internal combustion engine into the inlet of the conduit pass through the conduit and are supplied back into the internal combustion engine without discharging into an environment. A vehicle is provided with such internal combustion engine.

Description: Description Internal Combustion Engine with Exhaust Gas Cleaning, and Vehicle Provided Therewith Technical Field The present invention relates to cleaning exhaust gasses from an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, in particular to internal combustion engines with exhaust gas cleaning systems, and to vehicles provided with such internal combustion engines. Background Art All vehicles with internal combustion engines have a discharge through which exhaust gasses are discharged into atmosphere. As a result, irreparable damage is done to humans and environment. It is advisable to reduce exhaust gas discharge as much as possible. Disclosure of the Invention Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide cleaning exhaust gasses of internal combustion engines of vehicles, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. In keeping with these objects and with others which will become apparent hereinafter, one feature of present resides, briefly stated in a vehicle for cleaning exhaust gasses which has a vehicle part to be movable on a road; an internal combustion engine mounted on said vehicle for driving said vehicle for movement on the road, said internal combustion engine having an outlet for discharging exhaust gasses and an inlet for introducing a gas into said internal combustion engine, and an exhaust gas system including an exhaust gas conduit having an inlet which is connected with said outlet of said internal combustion engine so as to receive the exhaust gasses from said internal combustion engine, and an outlet which is connected with said gas inlet of said internal combustion engine so that the exhaust gasses which pass into said conduit from said outlet of said internal combustion engine pass through said conduit and are supplied back into said internal combustion engine without discharging into an environment. The present invention also deals with an internal combustion engine which has an engine part, said engine part having an outlet for discharging exhaust gasses from said engine part and an inlet; and an exhaust gas system including an exhaust gas conduit having an inlet which is connected with said outlet of said internal combustion engine so as to receive the exhaust gasses from said internal combustion engine, and an outlet which is connected with said gas inlet of said internal combustion engine so that the exhaust gasses which pass into said conduit from said outlet of said internal combustion engine pass through said conduit and are supplied back into said internal combustion engine without discharging into an environment. The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the present invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings. Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 of the drawings is a single figure showing a vehicle provided with an internal combustion engine and a device for cleaning exhaust gasses from the internal combustion engine. Best Mode of Carrying out the Invention As shown in Figure 1 , a vehicle, for example an automobile has a front part identified with reference numeral 1 and a rear part identified with the reference numeral 2. An internal combustion engine 3 drives the vehicle, for example it operates rear wheels. The internal combustion engine is provided with an air filter 4. An interior of a filter housing is covered with tiles of ceramics and a layer of titanium oxide. A conduit which has portions 15, 14, and 5 has an inlet connected with an outlet for discharging exhaust gasses from the internal combustion engine 3. The conduit also has an outlet which is connected with an inlet of the filter 4. Reference numeral 6 identifies a vessel which contains a mixture of air and oxygen, for example with the ratio 88%: 12% of oxygen to air. A pipe 7 leads from the vessel 6 directly into the internal combustion engine, while a pipe 8 leads from the vessel 7 into the portion of the conduit, in particular into an additional chamber 9. The conduit is provided with ceramic tiles 10, 11 , 12, 13 which are covered from inside with a layer of exhaust gas absorbing material, for example titanium oxide. The directional movement of exhaust gasses is identified with reference numeral 16. The device operates in the following manner. During the operation the internal combustion engine exhaust gasses are discharged from the internal combustion engine through the discharge outlet and introduced into the conduit. The layer of titanium oxide absorbs admixtures in the exhaust gasses which are hazardous for humans and for engine as well. The titanium oxide layer can be periodically washed by a tap water, for example once in 30 days. While the washing system is not shown in the drawings, it could be of any construction. The exhaust gasses which are discharged from the internal combustion engine pass through the conduit and are again introduced into the internal combustion engine, in particular into filter 4 where they are cleaned. The cleaned gas is again introduced into the internal combustion engine, for example through a carburator. Therefore, no exhaust gasses are discharged into atmosphere whatsoever. In addition, a portion of the air-gas mixture can be introduced from the vessel 6 into the chamber 9 which is formed as an additional combustion chamber for burning the impurities which are contained in the exhaust gasses. When the inventive device for cleaning of exhaust gasses is installed in the vehicle, it is not necessary to provide a muffler and a catalyst of exhaust gasses since the inventive system performs their functions. It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the types described above. While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in internal combustion engine with exhaust gas cleaning, and vehicle provided therewith, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteπstics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention. What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.
