ABSTRACT:
A fuel vaporization device for an internal combustion engine comprising a vaporization chamber, a liquid fuel inlet to the chamber including a fuel distributor having the capacity to inject tiny fuel droplets into the chamber, an ambient air inlet to the chamber to allow ambient air to mix with the fuel droplets, an annular ambient air distribution ring having circumferentially spaced air distribution inlet holes, positioned upstream of the vaporization chamber, and having an axial outlet surrounding the fuel distributor, at least one turbulence generator in the chamber for creating ambient air turbulence for mixing fuel droplets and ambient air, at least one heater in the chamber to convert the fuel droplet-ambient air mixture to a homogeneous gaseous air-fuel mix as the mixture passes through the chamber, a heater controller operably associated with the heater and preset to regulate thermal output from the heater responsive to temperature of the gaseous air-fuel mix to prevent the temperature from exceeding that at which auto ignition would occur, and an outlet conduit from the chamber for flow of said air-fuel mix to an internal combustion engine.
