Definitions

  • an apparatus for producing power from a source of liquid fuel comprising (i) at least one capillary flow passage, said at least one capillary flow passage having an inlet end and an outlet end, said inlet end in fluid communication with the source of liquid fuel; (ii) a heat source arranged along said at least one capillary flow passage, said heat source operable to heat the liquid fuel in said at least one capillary flow passage to a level sufficient to change at least a portion thereof from a liquid state to a vapor state and deliver a stream of substantially vaporized fuel from said outlet end of said at least one capillary flow passage; (iii) a combustion chamber in communication with said outlet end of said at least one capillary flow passage; and (iv) a conversion device operable to convert heat released by combustion in said combustion chamber into electrical power; and
  • FIG. 2 shows a multi-capillary arrangement that can be used to implement the device and system of FIG. 4;
  • Cleaning of capillary flow passage 82A can be accomplished by shutting off the supply of fuel to capillary tube 82A, supplying air to capillary flow passage 82A with sufficient heating to oxidize deposits in the capillary flow passage.
  • the one or more capillary flow passages being cleaned are preferably heated during the cleaning process by an electrical resistance heater or thermal feedback from the application.
  • the time period between cleanings for any given capillary flow passage may either be fixed based upon known clogging characteristics, determined experimentally, or a sensing and control system may be employed to detect deposit buildup and initiate the cleaning process as required.
  • a useful operating voltage is at least 12 volts, with higher voltages providing enhanced utility from the standpoint of minimizing transmission losses and semiconductor losses, particularly when the sunlight is weak and the actual voltage drops.
  • a step-up converter may be provided as is known in the art, to maintain a constant output voltage though at varying currents.
  • an array used in combination with this invention may produce in the range of 51 to 204 kg-m/sec (500 watts to 2 kilowatts) or more of electricity.
