Abstract

The present invention includes an apparatus for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine and includes a dryer canister having a dryer material, an input valve adapted to input fluid from an air cleaner, to input fluid from the catalytic converter and to input fluid from the ambient atmosphere. The dryer canister receives the air cleaner fluid in a first phase, receives the exhaust fluid in a second phase and receives the ambient fluid in a third phase and a processor to control the dryer canister and the first valve. The dryer canister includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and an output valve to control the output of the dryer canister. The output valve can direct the output of the dryer canister to the exhaust muffler, the output valve can direct the output of the dryer canister to the ambient and the output valve can direct the output of the dryer canister to the air intake manifold.

Claims

1. ) An apparatus for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to a vehicle internal combustion engine, comprising:

a dryer canister having a dryer material;

an input valve adapted to input fluid from an air cleaner, to input fluid from a exhaust catalytic converter or to input fluid from the ambient atmosphere;

the dryer canister receives the air cleaner fluid in a first phase, receives the exhaust fluid in a second phase and receives the ambient fluid in a third phase;

a processor to control the dryer canister and the first valve.

2. ) An apparatus for supplying a drive fluid and ozone to an vehicle internal combustion engine as in claim 1, wherein the dryer canister includes a temperature sensor.

3. ) An apparatus for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to a vehicle internal combustion engine as in claim 1, wherein the dryer canister includes a humidity sensor.

4. ) An apparatus for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine as in claim 1, wherein the dryer canister includes an output valve to control the output of the dryer canister.

5. ) An apparatus for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine as in claim 4, wherein the output valve can direct the output of the dryer canister to the exhaust muffler.

6. ) An apparatus for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an a engine as in claim 4, wherein the output valve can direct the output of moist air of the dryer canister to the ambient atmosphere.

7. ) An apparatus for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine as in claim 4, wherein the output valve can direct the output of the dry canister to the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine.

8. ) A method for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine, comprising the steps of:

forming the dry fluid in a dryer canister having a dryer material;

inputting fluid to an input valve from an air cleaner, inputting fluid from a catalytic converter of the engine and inputting fluid from the ambient atmosphere;

the dryer canister receives the air cleaner fluid in a first phase, receives the exhaust fluid in a second phase and receives the ambient fluid in a third phase;

controlling the dryer canister and the first valve with a processor.

9. ) A method for supplying a drive fluid and ozone to an engine as in claim 8, wherein a method includes the step of using a temperature sensor to control the system.

10. ) A method for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine as in claim 8, wherein the method includes the step using a controlling a humidity sensor in the dryer canister to control the timing of the three phases of operation

11. ) A method for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine as in claim 8, wherein the method includes the step of controlling an output valve to control the output of the dryer canister.

12. ) A method for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an internal combustion engine in a vehicle as in claim 11, wherein the method includes the step of directing the output of the dryer canister from the heating from the catalytic converter to the exhaust muffler.

13. ) A method for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine as in claim 11 wherein the method directs the output of the dryer canister to the ambient.

14. ) A method for supplying a dry fluid and ozone to an engine as in claim 11, wherein the method directs the output of the dryer canister to the air intake manifold.
