摘要:
An onboard, in-line fuel cooling system for a motor vehicle includes a chiller adapted to be powered by an onboard direct-current electric power source such as, for example, a motor vehicle power system or an auxiliary battery, and a fuel conduit adapted to form at least a portion of a fuel supply line between an onboard fuel tank and an onboard engine of the motor vehicle. The fuel conduit is in thermal communication with the chiller to cool fuel passing through the fuel conduit from the onboard fuel tank to the onboard engine. Thus, the engine is provided with fuel at a temperature lower than the temperature of the fuel in the fuel tank. The chiller can be a vapor-compression refrigeration system, a thermo-electric cooler, or any other suitable type of chiller powered by the onboard direct-current electric power source.
