ABSTRACT:
Methanol is delivered by a fuel pump to a reformer at a relatively high pressure, where it is heated by exhaust gases from a spark ignition engine and decomposed over a catalyst bed to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen, this being a constant pressure process. The mixture is fed to an auxiliary turbine which helps drive the output shaft of the spark ignition engine. The low pressure exhaust gases from the auxiliary turbine are mixed with air and fed to a spark ignition engine where they are combusted.
