Abstract
A device is provided for injecting an emulsion of water and fuel into an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The device includes a water tank (100) for storing water, a fuel tank (101) for storing fuel, first and second fluid lines (103), an emulsion mixer having a mixing chamber (102), first and second inlets (104), and an outlet (105). The water tank (100) is connected to the first inlet (104) via the first fluid line (103). The fuel tank (101) is connected to the second inlet (104) via the second fluid line (103). The emulsion mixer is configured to output an emulsion that comprises the fuel and the water via the outlet (105). A settable mixer is in the mixing chamber (102) and is configured to set a mixture ratio between the water and the fuel in the emulsion.
