Vaporizer for internal combustion steam engine
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5741813
This patent describes an alcohol/water fuel vaporizing apparatus for internal combustion steam engines, the engine requiring and operating substantially on vaporized non-hydrocarbon based fuel for combustion and producing heated exhaust gases as a byproduct of such combustion. The fuel vaporizer comprises: a first exhaust gas chamber and a second fuel vapor chamber, the respective chambers sharing a common wall therebetween; the exhaust gas chamber having spaced apart exhaust gas inlet and outlet means for channeling engine exhaust gases through the first chamber whereby the passage of the exhaust gases therethrough causes heating of the common wall; vapor outlet means for the passage of vaporized fuel from the vapor chamber; fuel inlet means for admitting unvaporized fuel to the vapor chamber; means for directing the unvaporized fuel from the fuel inlet means against the heated common wall whereby contact of the fuel against the common wall causes the immediate vaporization of the fuel substantially without regard to the impurity of proofage content of the fuel.
