The present-day conventional energy
is a consequence of burning of fossil fuels. During the process
apparently, the fossil fuels do not burn completely. These
incompletely burned fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Furthermore, the energy thus produced will not be completely
consumed. The present study elucidates an enhanced energy system
with assurance of complete burnt of fossil fuels along with complete
consumption of energy produced by any source. The versatile behavior
of thermal energy storage applications of zeolites had led a pathway
to Zeoengines. When compared to water, it can hold nearly 30 times
more heat, thus it is the best and efficient way to store complete
consumption of heat energy. Natural zeolites such as natrolite,
analcime, apophyllite, chabazite, heulandite, and mesolite have a
unique property of releasing heat by absorption of water and
liberate water vapor on heating. The exhaust of the engine is passed
through the specially prepared mixed bed phases resulting for
trapping of unburned fluid and fluidized gasses. This trapped fuel
is enhanced and enriched by wave blasting and reinjected into the
engine by non-return valve system which is automated with
integration of supervisory control and data acquisition. This system
results an additional high energy, nearly 10–20% higher mileage
along with low GHGs. By adopting this system in gas-based or
diesel-based power plants, plant load factor can be increased. An
integrated closed cycle of adsorption and liberation of heat manages
industrial cooling and heating system, thus saves energy by complete
consumption of heat produced by any energy system. The system is a
proved long lasting, eco-friendly, and cost-effective system.
