ABSTRACT:
A method for operating an internal combustion engine includes the steps of feeding a high-pressurize and super-heated mixture of fuel vapor and water vapor to an injection valve at a cylinder head of a combustion chamber. The mixture is pressurized to at least 350 atm and is super-heated to at least 840.degree. F. Under these conditions at least the fuel vapor is dissociated and is converted into a mixture of organic gases having compositions which differ from the analysis of the original liquid fuel. The advantages of the method are a better fuel economy and a reduction of exhaust emissions of smoke, CO, NO.sub.x. The method also enables combustion of a plurality of energy containing liquids and solid matter, especially synthetic materials. Due to the high pressure and temperature of the vapor mixture, a dissociation of the vapors into small organic basic modules, especially carburetted hydrogen gases, occurs.
