Abstract:
A fuel vaporizer including fuel injectors is described herein. The vaporizer includes a housing having a plurality of baffles defining a plurality of chambers, with each of the plurality of baffles defining an aperture between adjacent chamber, and the apertures define a flow path from the air inlet, through the plurality of chambers, and to the vapor outlet. A conduit extends through the baffles and chambers, and the conduit is adapted to accept a flow exhaust gas and transfer thermal energy from the exhaust gas to an airflow along the flow path A fuel injector is positioned in the housing to inject fuel into the flow path in the first chamber, the thermal energy from the conduit vaporizing the fuel injected into the airflow and producing the flow of vaporized fuel. The fuel vaporizer may include a heat exchanger preheating the airflow and electric heating elements supplementing the conduit heating.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for improving the transient response of a spark-ignited fuel-injected internal combustion engine is disclosed. This is accomplished by employing one or more novel capillary fuel injectors (700). These devices are port fuel injectors (700) modified by inserting one or more relatively small diameter heated tubular capillaries (712) between the fuel line and a conventional injector. Sufficient heating can be produced so that flash vaporization occurs as the fuel exits the injector. The heaters are turned on using control algorithms that can be based on exhaust gas oxygen concentration, load on the engine, and accelerator pedal position.
Abstract:
The innovation / invention relates to mechanics (in automotive technology) in the form of a fuel system for a Spark Ignition Internal Combustion engine. As far as the SIIC ( Spark Ignition Internal Combustion ) engine is concerned, the fuels (alternative fuels ) of higher ignition point ( mainly), higher specific heat, higher specific gravity, lesser volatility than petrol can not be used or can not be used at a better rate of combustion even though the compression ratio is increased. In case of the alternative fuel is used, it should be in the form of an atomised vapour having " temperature increase" in between it's ignition point and self ignition point so that the in-charge behaves as a good thermodynamic medium for both compression and power strokes & the in-charge is combustible at a batter rate. Such type of fuel vapour will be a better one to drive a Spark Ignition Internal Combustion engine. (The produced innovation/invention has been done to a 4-Stroke Spark Ignition Internal Combustion engine.) The atomised vapor is obtained by a fuel vaporizer (the most innovative/inventive part) which has taken the place of main fuel outlet (nozzle) of a conventional carburetor, in the innovated/invented carburetion system. The fuel from the float chamber comes to the vaporizer through a fuel controlling valve and a solenoid valve, where the fuel is heated up beyond its boiling point and below the self ignition point. As soon as the heated fuel comes out of the vaporizer, it will become a fine atomized vapor (in the air available at the main venturi) having the quality of better combustion.
