ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a system and process for fuel or liquid preparation including a plurality of vortex stacks of sequential vortex elements operationally coupled with an integrated pre-manifold centrifuge type-cyclone scrubber. Each vortex stack comprises a base vortex element having a fuel-air mixture enters such base vortex element creating a vortical (spinning) column, which is enhanced and accelerated by transonic-sonic velocity air inflows in the accelerator vortex elements. Entrained fuel aerosol droplets are sheared into a viscous vapor phase, and then into a gas-phase state. The vortical column containing turbulently vaporized fuel and any residual aerosols in the air mixture is then passed through a venturi to the scrubber where the mixture is homogenized and any collected aerosols are returned as liquid and re-processed by the system. This allows only the vaporized, chemically stochiometric (oxygen balanced) and combustion ready gas-phase fuel to exit the system.
