Patent ID: 7490593

Claim:
Magnetic conditioning device for diesel engine fuel, comprising: a housing element ( 1 ) configured to be placed along a fuel feeding line, the housing element having a fuel inlet, and a fuel outlet, a top, and a bottom; two opposed ferromagnetic material elements ( 5 , 6 ) located within the housing element, a first of the two elements ( 5 ) being at the top of the housing and a second of the two elements ( 6 ) being at the bottom of the housing; permanent magnets ( 4 ) mounted on and between the two opposed ferromagnetic material elements; and a fuel duct defined inside the housing element from the fuel inlet to the fuel outlet, the fuel duct being between the top and the bottom of the housing and between the magnets, the magnets inducing a magnetic field between the two opposed ferromagnetic material elements and within the fuel duct, and the fuel duct turbulently deviating fuel entering the fuel inlet, through the magnetic field induced by the magnets, to the fuel outlet, wherein, a first set of magnets are mounted to the first of the two elements, a second set of magnets are mounted to a second of the two elements, the first set of magnets are spaced apart from the second set of magnets and project toward the second set of magnets and into the fuel duct, and the second set of magnets are spaced apart from the first set of magnets and project toward the first set of magnets into the fuel duct.
