A fuel processing device (2) is provided that produces fuel aerosol particles (5) that when mixed with combustion air, reduces or eliminates detonation (knock) in internal combustion engines, reducing fuel octane requirements and improving burning characteristics of the fuel. The device includes an adapter (10) between fuel injector (12) and port (14) for the fuel injector, the adapter being of a hollow cylindrical configuration. A plurality of plates (46) are disposed in the adapter, plates (46) provided with a central opening (50), with radially extending slots (52) extending away from the central opening (50). Each slot has one edge configured with a vane (56) that creates turbulence in the air/fuel mix passing through the adapter so that larger droplets are broken up into smaller droplets until an optimum droplet size is reached.
A method for providing an air/fuel mixture for use in an internal combustion engine, said air/fuel mixture predominantly containing size-limited fuel droplets having a maximum predetermined size, the method comprising the steps of:
Apparatus for processing a fuel spray for an internal combustion engine comprising:
An apparatus for receiving a fuel spray from a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine and reducing droplets of said fuel spray to a size of less than about 50 microns in diameterwhile producing a minimum of fuel vapor, said apparatus comprising;
In an internal combustion engine utilizing an induction airflow to mix with and transport fuel to at least one combustion chamber, a method comprising the steps of:
