SMOKE OPACITY AND FUMES TEMEPERATURE TESTING

Charts presenting aggregate external profiles of the infrared radiation absorption factor “k” show that in the area of low engine speeds (1200 to 1500 rpm), the difference in smoke opacity (after 120 hours of engine operation with MULTIMAG activators installed) ranges from 0.99 to 1.47 1/m, as compared to values measured before the installation of activators. At engine speed of 1800 rpm and above, smoke opacity stabilizes at a certain level, irrespectively of its absolute value. It is only influenced by the engine operation stabilization time and the properties of fuel subjected to magnetic treatment.

The charts show a favourable shape of curves corresponding to the engine with magnetizers installed. Diesel fuel used contains additional oxygen bonds which contribute to better combustion and low smoke opacity.

The maximum reduction of smoke opacity amounts to as much as 56.82%.

Such a large and environmentally beneficial reduction of smoke opacity in Diesel engines required many additional follow-up tests, because motor industry specialists know well that a reduction of merely 10% resulting from improving the engine’s design is considered a major achievement.

CONCLUSIONS

1) Magnetic activation of fuel and air in Diesel engines by means of MULTIMAG magnetizers contributes to reduced fuel consumption, greater power and torque and massive smoke opacity reduction exceeding 50% of values recorded without magnetizers.

2) The efficiency of magnetizers depends on their magnetic parameters, type of magnets, design, number of magnetic elements and position on the engine’s fuel lines and air ducts.

3) Magnetizers with very powerful magnets lose their effect after 120 to 160 hours of service time. Frequently they even cause poorer fuel combustion, power and torque drop and greater smoke opacity.

4) It is necessary to magnetize both fuel and air. Only combined activation of hydrocarbons in fuel and oxygen in air fed to the engine chamber ensures a lasting improvement of the engine’s performance. The effect depends heavily on adequate correlation of magnetic parameters of fuel and air activators. All tests involving the use of fuel magnetizers alone showed improvements well below measurement errors.

5) Out of all magnetizers tested at the Szczecin University of Technology over the last 5 years, the best and most durable effects were observed for MULTIMAG magnetizers.
