Nox reduction system utilizing pulsed hydrocarbon injection

Patent Brusasco, Raymond M [Livermore, CA]; Penetrante, Bernardino M [San Ramon, CA]; Vogtlin, George E [Fremont, CA]; ...

Hydrocarbon co-reductants, such as diesel fuel, are added by pulsed injection to internal combustion engine exhaust to reduce exhaust NO.sub.x to N.sub.2 in the presence of a catalyst. Exhaust NO.sub.x reduction of at least 50% in the emissions is achieved with the addition of less than 5% fuel as a source of the hydrocarbon co-reductants. By means of pulsing the hydrocarbon flow, the amount of pulsed hydrocarbon vapor (itself a pollutant) can be minimized relative to the amount of NO.sub.x species removed.

Additive-mixing fuel-injection system for internal combustion engines

Patent Dec, John E.; Renzi, Ronald F.

A system and method for fast control of the timing of combustion in an internal combustion engine, comprising actuating a fast-acting fuel-additive supply valve to meter a variable amount of fuel additive into a fuel stream, thereby forming an additive-enhanced fuel with an additive concentration that can be dynamically adjusted as fast as each engine cycle; injecting the additive-enhanced fuel directly or indirectly into a combustion chamber or into an intake port; and combusting the additive-enhanced fuel.

Mixed Mode Fuel Injector And Injection System

Patent Stewart, Chris Lee [Normal, IL]; Tian, Ye [Bloomington, IL]; Wang, Lifeng [Normal, IL]; ...

A fuel injector includes a homogenous charge nozzle outlet set and a conventional nozzle outlet set that are controlled respectively by first and second three way needle control valves. Each fuel injector includes first and second concentric needle valve members. One of the needle valve members moves to an open position for a homogenous charge injection event, while the other needle valve member moves to an open position for a conventional injection event. The fuel injector has the ability to operate in a homogenous charge mode with a homogenous charge spray pattern, a conventional mode with a conventional spray patternmore » or a mixed mode. « less

Dry low NOx combustion system with pre-mixed direct-injection secondary fuel nozzle

Patent Zuo, Baifang; Johnson, Thomas; Ziminsky, Willy; ...

A combustion system includes a first combustion chamber and a second combustion chamber. The second combustion chamber is positioned downstream of the first combustion chamber. The combustion system also includes a pre-mixed, direct-injection secondary fuel nozzle. The pre-mixed, direct-injection secondary fuel nozzle extends through the first combustion chamber into the second combustion chamber.

Fuel injection and mixing systems having piezoelectric elements and methods of using the same

Patent Mao, Chien-Pei [Clive, IA]; Short, John [Norwalk, IA]; Klemm, Jim [Des Moines, IA]; ...

A fuel injection and mixing system is provided that is suitable for use with various types of fuel reformers. Preferably, the system includes a piezoelectric injector for delivering atomized fuel, a gas swirler, such as a steam swirler and/or an air swirler, a mixing chamber and a flow mixing device. The system utilizes ultrasonic vibrations to achieve fuel atomization. The fuel injection and mixing system can be used with a variety of fuel reformers and fuel cells, such as SOFC fuel cells.
