ABSTRACT:
A flow homogenizer for an internal combustion engine which can be used as a carburetor or as a booster for a carburetor. The homogenizing unit includes a hollow housing open at both sides. One tube extends through the wall of the housing and is adapted to be connected to a fuel source. A second tube is concentrically mounted on the first tube in tight fitting relationship while being able to rotate about the first tube. The first tube contains at least one slot and the second tube a plurality of holes in a predetermined arrangement and positioned so that as the second tube rotates relative to the first tube the number of holes exposed to each slot is changed thereby controlling the size of opening for fuel to flow through the holes into the housing. A damping member is mounted on the second tube in the housing to rotate therewith. The damping member has a recess in a surface portion thereof to expose the openings in the second tube and to open the passageway through the housing from end to end. The damping member is rotatable between a closed position blocking the opening between the ends of the housing and open positions exposing the recess of the damping member to both ends of the housing. The open positions are coordinated with the number of holes exposed to the slot as the damping member is rotated thereby facilitating close control of the fuel and air mixture passing through the housing. The homogenizer is adapted to be connected to a source of vacuum for drawing the fuel and air mixture therethrough. Controls can be connected to the homogenizer for rotating the second tube in a desired manner to control the fuel and air mixture parameters when the homogenizer unit is mounted on an internal combustion engine. A baffle is provided in position with respect to the recess to create turbulence and breakdown the particles of fuel and agitate the air to form a substantially complete homogenized air and fuel mixture of uniform size and even distribution for introduction to the manifold of an internal combustion engine.
