Abstract
A system and method to improve the efficiency of an internal combustion engine by delivering an air/fuel mixture to the combustion chamber in a pure gaseous state. The system accepts an air/fuel mixture from a carburetor or injector which is placed into a vaporized state before entering the combustion chamber of the engine. An intake track capable of withstanding exhaust gas temperatures of an internal combustion engine is constructed and arranged to cause vaporization of fuel and inhibit the vaporization from condensing.
Claims15
An apparatus for improving the efficiency of an internal combustion engine having a multi-stroke combustion chamber employing at least one inlet valve for receipt of a metered air/fuel mixture and at least one exhaust valve for discharge of spent air/fuel mixture, said improvement comprising:
- an intake track positioned between said metered air/fuel mixture and said inlet valve, said intake track juxtapositioned to an exhaust interconnect;
- wherein said air/fuel mixture is directed through said intake and heated to a temperature above 225 degrees Fahrenheit for vaporization of liquid fuel.
A method of increasing the efficiency of an internal combustion engine comprising the steps of (a) preparing an air/fuel mixture;
- (b) heating said air/fuel mixture to a temperature to vaporize liquid fuel into vaporized dry fuel;
- (c) introducing said vaporized dry fuel into said internal combustion engine;
- and (d) combusting said vaporized dry fuel/oxygen mixture within the internal combustion engine.
