Abstract
In an internal combustion engine having a fuel/air delivery system such as a carburetor (12) supplying a fuel/air mixture for combustion by the engine, a deceleration enrichener system includes a valve (10) operated by engine manifold vacuum (14) and enrichening the fuel/air ratio of the mixture upon deceleration of the engine by decreasing the amount of air in the mixture. The valve (10) closes the idle air inlet port (16) of the carburetor (12) upon deceleration.
Claims7
In an internal combustion engine having a fuel/air delivery system supplying a fuel/air mixture for combustion by said engine, said delivery system having an idle air inlet port, a deceleration enrichener system including a valve operated by engine manifold vacuum and closing said idle air inlet port upon deceleration of said engine to enrich the fuel/air ratio of said mixture.
- wherein said valve comprises:
- a valve body with an internal chamber;
- a first port communicating with said idle air inlet port;
- a second port providing an air inlet port;
- a third port communicating with said engine manifold vacuum;
- a valve seat between said first and second ports;
- a movable plunger responsive to a first level of engine manifold vacuum to move to an open position disengaging said valve seat and enabling communication between said first and second ports, and responsive to a second higher level of engine manifold vacuum upon deceleration of said engine to move to a closed position engaging said valve seat and blocking communication between said first and second ports;
- a diaphragm separating said chamber into first and second compartments on opposite sides of said diaphragm and isolated and sealed from each other by said diaphragm;
- a subcompartment communicating through said valve seat with said first compartment;
- said first port communicating with said subcompartment;
- said second port communicating with said first compartment;
- said third port communicating with said second compartment.
