ABSTRACT:
Liquid fuel is converted into gaseous form in an enclosed chamber rotating at high speed (e.g., 10,000 rpm). The fuel is delivered to a surface of a flat disc rotating about an axis perpendicular to the disc at the center. The fuel flows across the disc surface in a thin film to promote evaporation. Any unevaporated liquid fuel is retained by centrifugal force against the peripheral outer wall of the rotating chamber until the liquid completely vaporizes. The evaporated fuel mixes with air flowing into the chamber through an inlet opening opposite the disc evaporating surface. The mixture flows outwardly, around the edge of the disc, then inwardly between the back of the disc and the upstream edge of an annular baffle to exit from the chamber through an outlet opening of significantly smaller diameter than the maximum inner diameter of the chamber as a thorougly mixed dry gaseous combination of fuel and air.
