Abstract
A gas powered internal combustion engine in which the gas is provided from pressurized liquid gas in an LPG container and in which the LPG container is rigidly mounted adjacent to the internal combustion engine at a preselected angle to be in conductive heat transfer relationship to the internal combustion engine and in vibration receiving relationship to the internal combustion engine whereby the liquified gas in the LPG container is heated and the effective surface area thereof is increased.
Claims16
A gas powered internal combustion engine drive arrangement comprising, in combination:
- liquified gas storage bottle arrangement having:
- a predetermined amount of liquified gas therein and having a predetermined amount of gas phase of the liquified gas therein, and having an outlet connection thereon to allow the flow of said gas phase of said liquified gas to regions external said liquified gas storage bottle arrangement;
- an outlet conduit having a first end connected to said outlet connection of said liquified gas storage bottle arrangement to allow the flow of gas therethrough, and a second end;
- an internal combustion engine for generating heat and vibration during the operation thereof, and said second end of said outlet conduit connected to said internal combustion engine to allow the flow of said gas phase thereto;
- a mounting bracket rigidly connected to said internal combustion engine for receiving said heat and vibration from said internal combustion engine;
- said liquified gas storage bottle arrangement rigidly mounted on said mounting bracket for receiving said heat and vibration therefrom for agitating and heating said liquified gas stored in said liquified gas storage bottle to increase the generation of said gas phase therefrom.
