ABSTRACT:
A method for improving efficiency of an internal combustion irrigation engine is provided by the present invention. In one embodied form, the method comprises the steps of: channelling an inlet air stream to the engine through a single pass air cooler at a flow rate of between about 200 cubic feet per minute and about 5000 cubic feet per minute, the air cooler being a counter current flow packed cooling tower utilizing irrigation water as cooling means; directly contacting the inlet air stream with irrigation water in the air cooler to bring the temperature of the air stream within a range of between about 55.degree. F. and about 75.degree. F. and a relative humidity within a range of between about 90% and 100%; admixing the cooled and humidified inlet air stream with fuel; and directing the resultant gaseous mixture to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion irrigation engine. Accordingly, the inventive method is designed for improving the performance and longetivity of irrigation engine in terms of increased engine power, reduced fuel consumption and reduced engine maintenance.
