Abstract

681,811. Vaporizers. WILLIAMS, K. April 28. 1949 [May 17, 1948], No. 11365/49. Class (iii). In a method of producing fuel for an internalcombustion engine having a carburetter 10 and a heat-exchanger 3 comprising admixing water in a firely divided state, with the working substance to be induced in the engine between the carburetter and heat-exchanger and raising the temperature of the water and working substances gradually over a range from the existing atmospheric tempeature to approximately 170‹ to 180‹ F. whereby the water in the mixture is vaporised at tempeatures below its boiling point, at least part of the heat required for the vaporization of the water is supplied by the latent heat of condensation of water vapour in the exhaust gases; the water may be introduced in sufficient quantity to substantially saturate the mixture at the upper limit of temperature. The fuel-air mixture from the carburetter 10 has water added to it from another carburetter 7 and an atomizing jet 5, the water being cut off at starting until normal operating temperature is reached. The air-fuel-water mixture tnen traverses a reverse flow heat-exchanger 3 before entering the inlet manifold 19. The heat exchanger 3 which comprises a number of curved, fine-bore tubes 14 is connected to the exhaust, and the condensate either escapes with exhaust gases or is passed from a water trap in the exhaust outlet 17 to an economizer, not shown. The engine water jacket and radiator may be materially reduced in size or dispensed with. In a modification the water is atomized and injected directly into the fuel-air mixture in the heat-exchanger by a nozzle supplied from an engine driven pump whilst in compression-ignition engines, air only is passed over the water atomizing means. The heat-exchanger, cylinders, cylinder heads and inlet and exhaust manifolds are lagged. The Provisional Specification describes also a heat exchanger with one through conduit instead of a number of fine-bore tubes; the exhaust pipe passes through the conduit, and the spaces between and within the conduit and pipe are filled with such material as copper wool. The condensate from the exhaust may be removed to the container from which the water nozzles are fed.
