Abstract: A fuel supply to unit pump-injector systems of diesel engines includes a gasification and saturation of the liquid diesel fuel. A first fuel line delivers the fuel to a low pressure pump driven by an engine shaft which pumps the fuel to a common low pressure fuel manifold. There, the fuel is distributed for injection by the pump-injector units of the engine cylinders. A second fuel line delivers the fuel to a feed pump that feeds through a plurality of nozzles into a gasification vessel. The vessel is pressurized with a gas (e.g., carbon dioxide, air, etc.) a pressure level P2. There, the fuel is saturated with pressurized gas, which is dissolved in the fuel. The solution is then pumped by a second electro motor driven pump that further increases the solution pressure up to a level P3, which is higher than the pressure level P1. At that point, the solution becomes under-saturated and it is fed to the fuel manifold for injection into the engine.

Abstract: A fuel is conditioned in a fuel supply system for more efficient combustion in a combustion chamber. The conditioning system includes a fuel vessel for fuel conditioning, at least one fuel dispersing nozzle mounted for discharge into the fuel vessel, at least one gas inlet port and at least one conditioned fuel outlet. A low level sensor registers a lower level of conditioned fuel in the fuel vessel. A high level sensor registers an upper level of conditioned fuel in the fuel vessel. A gas source feeds a gas to the fuel vessel, wherein the gas is dissolved in the liquid fuel for forming a liquid/gas fuel solution. A low-pressure fuel pump and a liquid fuel supply line supply liquid fuel from a fuel reservoir to the at least one dispersing nozzle of the fuel vessel at a pressure P1 higher than the gas pressure P2. A needle valve positioned downstream the fuel chamber, lowers the pressure, created in the fuel chamber by gas pressure P2, to lower level P3 downstream the needle valve.

Abstract: A fuel conditioning method is applicable to common rail direct injection or unit injector system. A liquid fuel is conditioned for higher-efficiency combustion in a combustion chamber. The conditioning system includes a fuel vessel for fuel conditioning, at least one fuel dispersing nozzle mounted for discharge into the fuel conditioning vessel, at least one gas inlet port, and at least one conditioned fuel outlet port located in the vessel. A gas source feeds a gas to the fuel conditioning vessel, wherein the gas is dissolved in the liquid fuel for forming a liquid/gas fuel solution. A low-pressure fuel pump and a liquid fuel supply line deliver liquid fuel from a fuel tank to the at least one dispersing nozzle of the fuel vessel at pressure P1 higher than the gas pressure P2. A high-pressure fuel pump feeds the liquid fuel/gas solution into a common rail and further into fuel injectors, providing a pressure P4 higher than a pressure P5 in the combustion chamber at a moment of combustion.
