Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to the field of injection systems in general and to the field of providing a nitrous oxide/fuel mixture to a combustion cylinder, in particular.
- 2. Related Art
- In internal combustion engines, a mixture of air and fuel is burned in a combustion chamber (cylinder), with the force generated by the combustion being utilized to provide mechanical energy. The mechanical energy may be used to turn a drive shaft, for example. Typically, the air and the fuel are mixed in a device such as a carburetor prior to their introduction into the cylinder. In order to increase the efficiency of the combustion process, it is often desired to “inject” the fuel into the combustion chamber. In an injection system, the fuel and the air are separately introduced to the combustion chamber. There, mixing occurs and, ideally, the fuel is vaporized. Such vaporization maximizes the surface area of fuel exposed to oxygen at a given time. This increases the speed and efficiency of combustion.
- For high performance it is sometimes desired to introduce nitrous oxide into the combustion chamber along with the fuel. The nitrous oxide operates as a source of oxygen for the oxidation (i.e., combustion) of the fuel. The nitrous oxide/fuel mixture is more combustible than air and fuel alone, leading to greater energy in the burn and consequently increased mechanical energy. In order to maximize the efficiency of the nitrous oxide/fuel mixture combination, it is desired to inject the mixture in an atomized form to form an aerosol comprising a multitude of small fuel droplets. In addition, it is desired to utilize the nitrous oxide as a means of atomizing the air/fuel mixture.
- In a device described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,798,190 and 4,827,888, assigned to the assignee of the present invention, a nozzle is provided that mixes and atomizes fuel with nitrous oxide. The nozzle comprises a Y-shaped housing having a pair of inlet ports and a single outlet port. One inlet port introduces fuel to the nozzle through a fuel line that extends the length of the nozzle, terminating at the outlet port. The second inlet port is used to introduce nitrous oxide into a hollow sleeve of the nozzle surrounding the fuel channel and ultimately exiting at the outlet port. The nitrous oxide is introduced at a higher pressure than the fuel, such that as the nitrous oxide exits past the end of the fuel line at the outlet port, it creates a vacuum which aids in drawing the fuel from the line. Because the fuel and the nitrous oxide are permitted to impinge upon each other within the confines of the nozzle, the mixing creates a high impact pressure near the nozzle exit. This in turn leads to chaotic turbulence in which the mixing is not even and the atomization non-optimal.
- Accordingly, it is desired to provide a nozzle configuration that leads to a finer atomization of the fuel droplets and a more even mixing of the nitrous oxide and the fuel.
- An injection nozzle utilizing nitrous oxide to form an aerosol with fuel in a combustion chamber is disclosed. The nozzle has a body defining a fuel channel and a nitrous oxide tube that does not communicate with the fuel channel within the body of the nozzle. The fuel channel terminates in a plurality of radially spaced fuel outlet ports surrounding an outlet port of the NO2 tube. Fuel is introduced in the fuel channel at a pressure of approximately 3-12 p.s.i. Nitrous oxide is introduced in the nitrous oxide tube at a high pressure of approximately 500-1000 p.s.i. The nitrous oxide tube terminates flush with an outlet end of the body of the nozzle and centrally dispose relative to the plurality of annularly spaced fuel outlet ports. As a result, the NO2 forms a jet that shears each of the fuel streams, thereby forming an aerosol with the fuel within a large volume of the combustion chamber and thus causing it to burn more efficiently. The central location of the NO2 jet relative to the plurality of fuel ports increase the efficiency of the shearing and subsequent aerosol formation over prior art nozzles.
- These and other features as well as advantage, of the different embodiments of the invention will be apparent by referring to the drawings, detailed description and claims below, where:

FIG. 1 is a partial cut away plan view of an injection nozzle of one embodiment of the invention. Abody member 10 having an elongated region 13 with a threadedregion 16 disposed thereon defines an angular born 21 and astraight bore 22 therein. Theangular bore 21 intersects thestraight bore 22 withinbody member 10. The elongated portion 13 terminates in anoutlet end 9. Threadedregion 16 permits easy installation in amanifold port 24 such that outlet end 9 outlets intocombustion chamber 25.Coupling members 17 and 18 engage a threaded region in the straight and angular bores respectively.Coupling member 18 defines a fuel inlet port 12 in fluid communication with theangular bore 21 and engages to a threaded region (not shown) of theangular bore 21. Coupling member 17 defines an oxidizing agent inlet port 11 and engages a threaded region of diestraight bore 22. Atube 20 is coupled to coupling member 17. Tube 20 extends from coupling member 17 the remaining length of the straight bore and is approximately concentric therewith. Thetube 20 terminates substantially flush withoutlet end 9 of thebody member 10. Tube 20 defines the oxidizingagent flow path 23 and provides for constant fluid communication between inlet port 11 andoutlet end 9 of thebody member 10. Thestraight bore 22 of thebody member 10 in conjunction withtube 20 define an annular region around the tube which is in fluid communication with theangular bore 21 such that when fuel is flowing, the annular region between the tube and the body walls defining thestraight bore 22 is substantially filled with fuel from the intersection of thestrait bore 22 andangular bore 21 to theoutlet end 9. -
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the outlet end of one embodiment of the invention.Outlet end 9 has a central oxidizingagent port 30, the circumference of which is defined by the end oftube 20. A plurality offuel outlet ports 31 are defined bybody member 10 and radially spaced around the central oxidizingagent outlet port 30. Accordingly, in operation, nitrous oxide is expelled from central oxidizingagent outlet port 30 under high pressure, typically in the range of 500-1000 p.s.i. Because the oxidizingagent chamber 25 is straight, maintaining the pressure of the oxidizing agent through the nozzle is simplified as there are no bends in the flow path to cause a pressure drop [is this true?]. Concurrently, a fuel stream trickles outports 31 typically at 3-12 p.s.i. of each of the plurality offuel outlet ports 31. Upon exiting thetube 20, which is flush withoutlet end 9, i.e., approximately coplanar withoutlet ports 31 ofbody member 10, the nitrous oxide rapidly expands shearing each of the fuel streams thereby forming an aerosol of nitrous oxide and fuel. Because the fuel ports are annularly spaced around the oxidizing agent port, the efficiency of aerosol formation and, therefore, combustion is greatly increased over prior art devices in which the oxidizing agent jet impinged on a single larger fuel stream. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the invention perpendicular to the view ofFIG. 1 . Coupling member 17 engages threadedregion 32 ofstraight bore 22 inbody member 10.Tube 20 may, for example, be welded to coupling member 17 or formed integrally therewith. Angular bore 21 intersects the straight bore 22 to provide the fluid communication described above. -
FIG. 4 is a magnified partial sectional view of a portion of the tube and elongated region of the body member.Tube 20 engages thewalls 33 of the central opening in the outlet end ofbody member 10 such that substantially no fuel leaks around the tube alongwalls 33.Fuel outlets ports 31 provide a path of least resistance for fuel in the annular region surrounding thetube 20. -
FIG. 5 is a cut away partial sectional view of a nozzle of an alternative embodiment of the invention with fuel and oxidizing agent inlet ports shown in phantom lines. The fuel introduction aspect of this embodiment is the same as in the embodiment shown inFIG. 1 . Specifically, acoupling member 18 defines a fuel inlet port 12 which is disposed in fluid communication with anangular bore 21 defined bybody member 110. Angular bore 21 intersects straight bore 122 which is also defined withinbody member 110.Bore 122 has a threaded region 132 for engagement by couplingmember 117. Couplingmember 117 defines an oxidizing agent inlet port 111 and is coupled totube 120 which provides a flow path 123 for an oxidizing agent introduced. In this embodiment, bore 122 is a through bore penetratingoutlet end 109 ofbody member 110. Thetube 120 has disposed on its outlet end aflange member 200. The flange member in conjunction with the walls ofstraight bore 122 define annular fuel outlet pores around the oxidizing agent outlet port defined bytube 120. Notably, the longitudinal dimension offlange member 200 can he arbitrarily long provided there remains sufficient fluid communication betweenangular bore 21 and each of the annularly spaced fuel ports defined by the conjunction of theflange member 200 and the walls ofstraight bore 122. In any event, at theoutlet end 109 the edges offlange member 200 should engage the walls ofstraight bore 122 such that fuel seepage does not occur at the points of engagement. Again, the fuel outlet ports and the nitrous outlet port are substantially coplaner. In a minor variant of thisembodiment body member 110 may have a lip atoutlet end 109 against whichflange member 200 abuts. -
FIG. 6 is a magnified partial sectional view of the embodiment ofFIG. 5 .Tube member 120 havingflange member 200 attach thereto is substantially flush withoutlet end 109 ofbody member 110. Additionally,flange member 200 engages the walls definingstraight bore 122 withinbody member 110. -
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional plan view of the embodiment ofFIG. 6 .Flange member 200 is shown coupled totube 120 and engaging the walls ofstraight bore 122. -
FIG. 8 is a partial cut-away perspective sectional view with an elongated region of one embodiment of the invention. InFIG. 8 analternative flange member 201 is coupled totube 120.Flange member 201 engages the walls ofbore 122 throughout its entire circumference. Plurality offuel outlet ports 131 are defined byflange member 201 and radially spaced around oxidizing agent outlet port 130. Again flangemember 201 can have an arbitrarily great longitudinal dimension provide fluid communication between eachfuel outlet port 131 and the fuel entering theangular bore 21 is maintained. - While the above described embodiments can be manufactured from many different metals including brass and aluminum, it is preferred that the body member, the coupling members and the tube be stainless steel. Machining the above nozzle from stainless steel results in a nozzle having improved durability in the high stress environment in which the nozzles are used.
- In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes can be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
