ABSTRACT:
An improved circulating fuel heating system for internal combustion engines of both gas and diesel types. The system is sizeable through staged heat exchanger components to provide the necessary fuel heating for various engine sizes and fuel consumption rates in order to maintain the temperature of the fuel entering the carburetor bowl to just above the temperature of vaporization for the fuel. The system basically comprises a plurality of staged fuel/hot water heat exchangers, a fuel controller interposed between the heat exchanger and the carburetor bowl, a hot water control valve operably connected to a temperature sensor in the controller to control the flow of hot water through the heat exchanger and hence, the temperature of the fuel entering the controller, and a second fresh air fuel/exhaust manifold heat exchanger constructed as a part of the controller to satisfy initial heating requirements for the fuel for a period after cold engine starting and for events of undersizing of the staged hot water heat exchanger.
