The ceramic particle fluidized bed is a cylindrical vessel in which many minute particles made from ceramics with a cavity in it, and is used for the improvement of water quality etc. The flow of the water passing upwards from a lower part makes the ceramic particles collide mutually. The difference of temperature between a surface and center side by surface partial frictional heat produces an electric charge on the surface of a minute part and electrolyzes the water. The purpose of this study is that it applies this principle to the reforming of the fuel oil and clarifies the possibility of fuel consumption improvement of the diesel engine. In addition, we also examine effect of decreasing of exhaust gas emissions which come out of the engine.
