Title: Improvements in or relating to Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BROWETT THOMAS
Filed: 1906-11-26
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 26,869. Browett, T. Nov. 26. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-A part of the air supply is ozonized, before or after admixture .with the combustible, in order to ensure complete combustion, more especially as light loads when a large excess of air is mixed with the fuel. The proportion of the air ozonized may be controlled by hand or by the governor. Ozonizing-apparatus of the type described in Specification No. 3905, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Acids, alkalies, &c.) may be used ; a nest of electrodes may be arranged in the air-intake chamber or tube or in an air-silencing chamber. In one form of ozonizer, Fig. 1, alternate positive and negative electrodes 3, 4, mounted in glass vacuum tubes 7 on vulcanite or other insulating-plates 5, 6, are arranged in two concentric rings. The electrodes are connected to metallic caps 8 which have stems screwed into the metallic plates 10 connected to the source of electricity. Air enters through slots 2 in the casing 1, and leaves through the central opening 13. The course of the air may be reversed ; or air may pass inwardly through a lower, and outwardly through an upper casing. The casing 1 may be surrounded by a jacket to which mixture is supplied. In the arrangement shown in plan in Fig. 4, the caps 8 or their stems engage with radial slots 14 in a fixed insulating-disk, and with inclined or spiral slots 15 in another disk mounted on the former and adjustable through the angle x to vary the distance between the electrodes. A similar pair of slotted disks is provided at the other end of the casing, the two movable disks being suitably connected. Electrodes of plate form may be arranged so that the air follows a zigzag path. To regulate the proportion of the air supply that is ozonized, valves 17, 18 for ozonized and ordinary air respectively, coupled so that one opens while the other closes, are controlled by hand or by the engine governor. The throttle 20 controls-the total air supply. For engines of the Diesel type the compressed air used for injecting the fuel may be ozonized in the apparatus shown in Fig. 7. The strong metal chamber 21 and the exit pipe are enamelled or coated inside to prevent corrosion, and the electrodes are mounted on a frame 23 which can be withdrawn through the end of the chamber. A reducing-valve 27 is provided to cause the compressed air to expand somewhat in entering the ozonizer.

Title: Improvements in Process of Ozonising Oxygen or Mixtures of Gases Containing Oxygen.
Inventor: FISCHER FRANZ
Filed: 1907-02-14
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 3692. Fischer, F. Feb. 16, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Ozone is formed if oxygen, or a mixture of gases containing oxygen, and a red-hot non-metallic body are moved against each other with a velocity exceeding one metre per second ; at lower speeds no ozone is formed. In the latter case, however, ozone is stated to be formed if the gases are very suddenly cooled, as with liquid air. The process proper may be carried out by blowing air, under sufficient pressure, through a slit upon a red-hot non-metallic pencil, for example, a Nernst pencil, or by moving the pencil at a sufficient speed in the air. Pencils may be carried by arms upon the axle of an electromotor, no ozone being formed until the pencils attain a sufficient speed. A metallic body may be used, if surrounded by a red-hot non-metallic cover.
