Abstract
A system for gasification of liquid fuel includes an absorber to receive liquid fuel and as through separate ports, a vortex reactor to create a vortex of the gas and fuel droplets to enhance absorption of gas into the fuel, and a recirculation loop to remove and recirculate unabsorbed gas and fuel vapors from the absorber back to its tangential inlet port. Gasified fuel collects at the bottom of the absorber for delivery to an engine.
Claims11
An absorber apparatus for gasification of a liquid fuel, comprising:
- f) an absorber body adapted to receive liquid fuel and was through separate ports into a mixing chamber of the absorber apparatus for absorption of the gas into the liquid fuel;
- g) a vortex forming system adapted to generate a vortex of the gas and fuel droplets in the mixing chamber to maximize surface contact of the gas and the droplets;
- h) an evacuation tube to remove and recirculate unabsorbed gas and fuel vapors from the mixing chamber;
- i) a reservoir in the absorber body to collect gasified fuel generated in the absorber body;
- and
- j) a control valve to control the level of the gasified fuel in the reservoir.
A method for mixing gases and liquids, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a reservoir and a vortex reactor forming a part of the reservoir;
- step (b) introducing at least one gas and at least one liquid into the vortex reactor;
- and step (c) impregnating the liquid with gas;
- and step d) sending the liquid with impregnated gas into the body of the reservoir.
