The present invention proposes a device for pre-treating air for reducing the fuel consumption of an engine or of a boiler by optimizing characteristics of its oxidant, that is to say of the ambient air and its moisture content. In particular, the invention proposes an air pre-treatment device for an engine, comprising an air treatment chamber (5) comprising a duct (55) incorporating treatment members (51, 52, 53, 56) embedded in a network of magnetic or ferromagnetic fibres, the members comprising: - a longitudinal central shaft (51) made of magnetic or ferromagnetic material that is provided with magnetic elements (53), characterized in that: - the magnetic elements (53) are arranged along the central shaft (51) in field opposition and alternating with ceramic elements (56).

Apparatus with active prefilter for fluid oxidant for any type of combustion and device using an oxidant
An air pre-treatment device to reduce the consumption of fuel of an engine or of a boiler by optimizing the characteristics of the oxidant thereof, i.e., of the ambient air and the moisture level thereof. The formatting chamber is defined by a pipe including homogenization members embedded in a lattice of magnetic or ferromagnetic fibers. The homogenization members include a central longitudinal axis made from magnetic or ferromagnetic material, and provided with the magnetic elements. The magnetic elements are disposed along the central longitudinal axis in field opposition and in alternation with ceramic elements. Thus, it is possible to optimize the oxidant of an engine, i.e., the ambient air passing through the formatting chamber with a frequency and coercive field induced by the magnetic elements, as well as concentrating the molecules of water at the ceramic elements.

DEVICE FOR TREATING AN EXHAUST-GAS/WATER MIXTURE PRIOR TO THE INJECTION THEREOF INTO A HEAT ENGINE, AND VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH SUCH A DEVICE
The invention relates to a device (1) for treating a mixture including water and a portion of the exhaust gases from the combustion in an internal combustion engine prior to the mixture being injected into the intake system of the engine, wherein said device includes a member (2) for collecting a portion of the exhaust gases and a water tank (10). Said device also includes at least one chamber (16) for mixing a portion of the exhaust gases and water, said chamber being connected (18) to at least one oxidizer-intake device (20) of the engine, said chamber (16) being S-shaped and provided with a member for rendering the mixture uniform.
