ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an improved fuel evaporation apparatus which comprises a two-stage evaporator designed to receive fuel such as gasoline in a liquid form and to completely transform the liquid fuel into its vapor state so as to increase the efficiency of operation of the associated internal combustion engine. In the first stage, the liquid fuel is conducted so as to strike a heated plate and thereafter any fuel which still resides in the liquid state flows through holes provided in the plate in droplet form and then enters vapor tubes which conduct the fuel in heat exchange relationship with exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine. After the fuel has been completely changed to vapor by flowing the fuel through the apparatus, the fuel is conducted, preferably, to the venturi stack or stacks of the carburetor of the associated internal combustion engine. Also disclosed herein is the method of evaporating fuel utilizing the above-described apparatus.
