Engine dehydrator

Abstract

A device to reduce corrosion which occurs in an internal combustion engine during long periods of non-use. Inactivity allows atmospheric moisture to collect on internal engine surfaces producing rust, and in the engine oil producing slug. This invention provides a means of reducing the presence of this moisture by pressurizing the internal engine areas with low humidity air.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A device which introduces low humidity air into the inner areas of an internal combustion engine, said device comprising: a source of pressurized air, a means of reducing the humidity of the air, and a means of introducing this air into the inner areas of the engine.  
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the source of pressurized air is an electrically powered pump.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the means of reducing the humidity of the air is by a chemical drying agent.  
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the means of reducing the humidity of the air is by the use of a mechanical or electrical refrigerant device.  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the means of introducing the air into the inner areas of the engine is by 1 or more tubes that are places into the engine crank case breather, and/or the engine exhaust port, and/or the engine intake port.
