摘要:
A flexible barium titanate ceramic PTC heater for use in, for example, an intake pipe of an internal combustion engine to heat the air-fuel gas mixture is formed as a thin disc-shaped ceramic sheet constituted by a plurality of individual coplanar ceramic segments having interior edges positioned in spaced side-by-side relationship. The juxtaposed edges of the ceramic segments are united to each other by a flexible, heat-resistant, electrically non-conductive rubber band disposed in the space between the segments and bonded thereto by an electrically non-conductive adhesive to form the segments into a thin disc-shaped sheet which can be flexed without causing flexing of any of the individual segments. The ceramic heater is positioned in a metallic casing with one planar face thereof bonded to the inner surface of the casing by an electrically conductive adhesive. A stainless steel wool cushioning member engages the other planar face of the ceramic heater to support the heater in the metallic casing.

A fuel evaporator for an internal combustion engine is comprised of a metallic casing which is composed of a heating plate portion and a supporting portion projecting from the outer periphery of the heating plate portion downward, a heating element fixed to the heating plate portion within the casing, an insulating and adiabatic covering member which covers the supporting portion and an electrically connecting means which connects the heating element and a battery.The supporting portion of the casing is inserted in a hole formed in an intake pipe so that the heating plate portion is exposed therewithin.Since the supporting portion of the casing is covered with the insulating and adiabatic covering member, very little of the heat of the heating element is dissipated from the supporting portion into the intake pipe.By forming the supporting portion into a plurality of strip shaped legs, the heat escaping therefrom can be further reduced.

An intake manifold for a multicylinder internal combustion engine having fuel supplying means such as a fuel injection device or a carburetor includes a branch intake conduits each communicating with one of the cylinders of the engine, an extension tube connected to a primary suction conduit of the carburetor, and an incoming fuel charge heating device mounted on the bottom of the intake manifold. The extension tube has a curved portion in its wall directed toward a part of the surface of the bottom of the intake manifold at which the axial center lines of the branch intake conduits gather together and cut to form an open end of the extension tube. The incoming fuel charge heating device has a heating surface disposed near the open end of the extension tube, which is smoothly curved toward the bottom of the intake manifold. The open end of the extension tube is disposed on a plane forming an acute angle with the wall of the tube at the outermost edge of the open end and contiguous at the innermost edge thereof with a straight portion of the wall of the tube, as viewed in cross section. The incoming fuel charge heating device may include positive-temperature-coefficient thermistors.

A suction heating device for an internal combustion engine including a first metal member having a planar portion and a cylindrical portion extending from the flat portion for defining a passage for a fuel-air mixture, and a second metal member having a planar portion and a cylindrical portion extending from the planar portion and arranged outside the cylindrical portion of the first metal member with a predetermined spacing. The two cylindrical portions are joined to each other at the end to provide a casing for mounting therein a ceramic heater of positive temperature coefficient characteristic having a specific Curie point.

A fuel evaporator comprises a metal member composed of a pipe portion and a flange portion, a heating element made of PTC ceramic, which is closely adhered to the metal member and an electric connector for electrically connecting the heating element and an electric power source. The metal member is supported by an insulating member which is interposed between an air-fuel passage and an intake manifold. The fuel film flow flowing downwards along the wall of the air-fuel passage is received by the flange portion of the metal member and is heated by the heat transmitted from the heating element. Consequently, unvaporized fuel is effectively evaporated.

A fuel heating apparatus for an internal combustion engine has a tubular extension member extending downwardly from the bottom end of an intake pipe into a mixture distribution chamber defined in an intake manifold beneath the inlet opening thereof connected to the intake pipe. An annular electric heater element is disposed in the mixture distribution chamber in vertical alignment with the tubular extension member so that the part of fuel which flows in liquid phase on the inner peripheral surfaces of the intake pipe and the tubular extension member falls therefrom onto the annular electric heater and heated and vaporized thereby and can be easily mixed with air from the intake pipe.

A fuel evaporator for an internal combustion engine comprises a casing composed of a heating plate member, a supporting member projecting from the outer periphery of the heating plate member underwards and a heat resistant and electric insulating covering member which covers the supporting member, a heating element can be fixed to the heating plate member within the casing and an electrically connecting means which connects the heating element and an electric power source. The fuel evaporator further comprises an elastic cushion member which is disposed in the under surface of the heating element and a spring means which supports and presses the heating element against the heating plate member of the casing through the cushion member. Due to the elasticity of the cushion member, the heating element is uniformly pressed by the spring means without being broken.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine fuel injection system includes a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the fuel or cooling water in the engine. When the detected temperature is higher than a given value, e.g., 50.degree. C., a pressure regulator for controlling the pressure of fuel supplied to a fuel injection valve is controlled so as to increase the fuel pressure irrespective of the intake pipe negative pressure and thereby increase the quantity of fuel supplied to the engine. In the case of an electronically controlled fuel injection control system, a predetermined correction quantity corresponding to the detected temperature from the temperature sensor is added to the basic fuel injection quantity calculated in accordance with given operating parameters of the engine, thereby increasing the quantity of fuel supplied to the engine.
