ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a system and process for fuel or liquid preparation including a plurality of vortex stacks of sequential vortex elements based on fuel or liquid inputs or conditions operationally coupled with an integrated pre-manifold centrifuge type-cyclone scrubber. Each vortex stack comprises a base vortex element followed by varying arrangements of air-accelerator vortex elements. The fuel enters the 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 and turbulently reduced by pressure differentials 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 then passed into and through a venturi. Then, the fluid flow may go through to a fuel scrubbing and mixing section where any collected aerosols are returned as liquid to the stacks and re-processed. This allows only the vaporized, homogenized and usually chemically stoichiometric, or leaner, (oxygen balanced) and combustion ready gas-phase fuel to exit the system.
