Method and apparatus for introduction of a fluid medium into working space of an internal combustion engine
First Claim
1. A method for introduction of the fluid medium into a working combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine operated with gaseous fuels including a power gas rather than liquid fuel, comprising the steps of admixing the fluid medium to the gaseous fuel alone before combustion procedure at least intermittently whereby feeding of air supply occurs separately in the combustion chamber, then thereafter blowing-in a power-gas/fluid medium mixture combined therewith specifically during inner mixture formation in the working combustion chamber, said flowing-in occurring under the pressure of the power gas for reduction of NOx -emission;
- andproviding bound OH-groups in the fluid medium being admixed to the gaseous fuel, the fluid medium being selected from a group including water, alcohol and also employing alcohol/water mixtures as the fluid medium.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for introduction of a fluid or liquid medium into working or operating chamber of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. For the purpose and object of reduction of nitric oxide emission as well as for an improvement of the efficiency there is proposed with a method and apparatus for introduction of the fluid or liquid medium into the working or operating chamber of an internal combustion engine operated with gaseous fuels to admix the fluid continuously or intermittently as to the gaseous fuel and subsequently to blow-in the fuel or power gas/fluid or liquid mixture into the working or operating chamber of the internal combustion engine under the pressure of the fuel or power gas. Hereby there can be utilized or employed advantageously besides the water also alcohol and alcohol/water mixtures, which means media with bound OH-groups.

11. An apparatus to introduce fluid medium into a working combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine operated with gaseous fuel including a power gas rather than liquid fuel subject to admixing of fluid medium to the gaseous fuel alone before combustion procedure at least intermittently whereby feeding of air supply occurs separately in the combustion chamber and then thereafter the power gas/fluid medium mixture combined is blown therewith specifically during inner mixture formation in the working combustion chamber under the pressure of the power gas for reduction of NOx -emission via an arrangement comprising an inlet valve including a cylindrical configuration in a seat region of said inlet valve as well as a gas supply pipe having a flow direction therein, and a dosing tube arranged for feeding and supplying of the fluid medium into the gas supply tube in flow direction shortly before said inlet valve.
