ABSTRACT:
An electrically powered liquid fuel vaporizer including overtemperature protection is described. A plurality of thin walled fuel conduits or tubes are arranged in a bundle and are communicated at one end to a source of liquid fuel and at their opposite end to a vaporized liquid fuel reservoir. Each end of the fuel tube bundle is provided with one member of a pair of electrical terminals. One of the pair of electrical terminals is communicated to a solenoid operated switch which in turn is communicated to one terminal of electric power source. The other of the pair of terminals is communicated to the opposite terminal of the electric power source. An insulating sheath or housing means is arranged around the fuel tube bundle. One end of the housing means is fixedly attached to the fuel tube bundle in proximity to one of the pair of electrical terminals. The housing member is provided with a third electrical terminal which communicates with the solenoid. The third electrical terminal as at the other end of the housing means. An overtemperature protection switch comprising a pair of contact discs, one of which is resiliently biased into contactive engagement with the other, is situated between the third electrical terminal and the adjacent one of the pair of fuel tube bundle terminals. Thermal expansion of the fuel tube bundle caused by the application of electrical energy between the pair of fuel tube bundle terminals will cause one of the pair of fuel tube bundle terminals to translate with respect to the housing terminal. After a predetermined amount of thermal expansion, the contact discs will separate terminating the application of electrical energy to the fuel tube bundle.
