Abstract:
The invention relates to the method and device for plasmacatalytic conversion of liquid hydrocarbons, such as engine fuels, into a synthesis gas by employing a pulse-periodic pseudocorona streamer microwave discharge (or semi-continuous microwave discharge) in the presence of air, and in certain cases, water. The method for plasmacatalytic conversion of EF into synthesis gas can comprise the conversion processes steam-air-fuel and air-fuel into the synthesis gas. The device comprises the heater (14), the combustion chamber (1), the microwave plasmacatalytic reactor - resonator (3) connected in succession (fig 1) and the superhigh frequency generator (12). The reactor uses the pulse periodic pseudocorona streamer discharge of superhigh frequency, that ensures the plasmacatalytic process for conversion of engine fuels at low temperatures; most of the thermodynamic energy required is obtained by a prior heating of the reagents, with part of the heat being recuperated at the synthesis gas outlet of the reactor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a heated catalyzed fuel injector that dispenses fuel substantially exclusively during the power stroke of an internal combustion engine, wherein ignition occurs in a fast burn zone at high fuel density such that a leading surface of the fuel is completely burned within several microseconds. In operation, the fuel injector precisely meters instantly igniting fuel at a predetermined crank angle for optimal power stroke production. Specifically, the fuel is metered into the fuel injector, such that the fuel injector heats, vaporizes, compresses and mildly oxidizes the fuel, and then dispenses the fuel as a relatively low pressure gas column into a combustion chamber of the engine.
Abstract:
Intake apparatus for an engine comprising: injection means for injecting fuel into a flow stream of intake gas through the apparatus; and heating means for heating intake gas passing through the apparatus,the apparatus being operable to inject fuel into the flow stream of intake gas by means of the injection means such that when intake gas flows through the apparatus at a first flow rate injected fuel impinges on the heating means; and when intake gas flows through the apparatus at a second flow rate greater than the first a flowpath of injected fuel is deflected by intake gas such that substantially no fuel impinges on the heating means.
Abstract:
An air/fuel homogenising means for use downstream of a carburettor and upstream of the intake to an internal combustion engine more effectively to homogenise and/or otherwise assist the entrainment of the fuel in the air stream from the carburettor. The homogenising means comprises a swirl chamber into which the air/fuel mix enters (at 7) tangentially of the swirl to be created therein and from which it exits (at 9) axially of the swirl created therein. The boundary (11) or at least a portion thereof against which the swirling fuel/air mix impinges or passes is heated to a temperature above ambient temperature or at least the temperature of the fuel/air mix to assist in vapourisation. Such heating is preferably carried out with the use of a fluid jacket (6) which receives either exhaust gases or coolant from the engine.
Abstract:
A vapor fuel air mixture supply system for a combustion engine, whereby the mixture of air and fuel is elevated in temperature prior to combustion. The liquid fuel may be vaporized in a fractionation process and further heated to enhance flame speed combustion and improve efficiency. The air to fuel mixture may result in significant improvements in fuel efficiency.
