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.
Claims19
A gas powered internal combustion engine drive arrangement comprising, in combination:
- an internal combustion engine for rotating an output shaft for said internal combustion engine in an operating condition thereof, and said internal combustion engine generating heat and vibration for the condition of said internal combustion engine in the operating condition thereof;
- said output shaft of said internal combustion engine connected to drive a preselected powered device;
- a mounting bracket rigidly connected to said internal combustion engine for receiving heat and vibration from said internal combustion engine, and said mounting bracket having walls defining a first predetermined geometric configuration;
- a liquified gas storage bottle having liquified gas therein and gas phase of said liquified gas therein and said liquified gas storage bottle having a preselected external geometric shape;
- an adapter having interior walls defining a cavity and said interior walls of said cavity configured to engage said preselected external geometric shape of said liquified gas storage bottle for the transmission of heat and vibration thereto, and said adapter having external walls connected to said interior walls for transmitting heat and vibration to said interior walls, and said external walls of said adapter having substantially said first predetermined geometric configuration of said mounting bracket;
- said liquified gas storage bottle mounted in said cavity of said adapter against said interior walls thereof;
- said adapter rigidly mounted on said mounting bracket for receiving said heat and vibration therefrom whereby said heat and vibration are transmitted to said liquified gas storage bottle for agitating and heating said liquified gas stored in said liquified gas storage bottle to increase the generation of gas phase therefrom.
