Device for converting liquid fuel from fuel and microscopic liquid droplets with electronic fuel injector control

摘要

A device converts combustible liquid fuel into converted fuel having a smaller proportion of vapor and a larger proportion of microscopic fuel droplets and mixes the converted fuel with air to convert more converted fuel to vapor. A vacuum chamber (22) has a cylindrical housing wall (16) with at least one fuel inlet (28) therein and a fuel outlet (86) offset from the inlet (28). An eccentrically mounted cylindrical rotor (34) is rotatably mounted within the housing wall (16) and has one or more radial slots with a rectangular vane (76) slidably received in each slot. Converted fuel from the outlet (86) and air are supplied to a large mixing chamber to slow the air and allow for thorough mixing with the converted fuel. An electronic fuel management control module (EFM) provides an output signal to the fuel metering device to control the flow of the fuel in the convertor (10). An electronic fuel injector control has a rotor shaft (104) to provide first periodic signal pulses responsive to its angular rotational position. A sensor (116) provides second periodic signal pulses responsive to the desired angular position of the engine crankshaft (112). An electric motor (66) connected to the rotor shaft (104), when running, provides a blocking signal to the engine sensor electronics (120) to block the signal pulses from the fuel conversion signal device so that the fuel injectors (28) are activated only in response to the crankshaft pulses.
