ABSTRACT:
A device and method for conditioning and/or volumetric heating fuel within an intermittent combustion engine in order to enhance fuel combustion and emission performance is provided. Such a device can include a fuel injector configured to eject a fuel spray having a trajectory within a combustion chamber, an energy source capable of emitting electromagnetic energy, and an optical fiber configured to transmit electromagnetic energy emitted from the energy source into the combustion chamber, and is also configured to cause fuel conditioning.
