  • Patent number: 4044077
    Abstract: Apparatus for homogeneously intermixing flows of fuel and air to an internal combustion engine comprises a mixing chamber having a venturi portion across which is disposed an arcuate nozzle-matrix of converging nozzle cells which focus subflows toward pre-selected downstream crossflow mixing zones. A mainstream flow of air is introduced into the chamber upstream of the nozzle-matrix and one or more mainstream flows of fuel are introduced into the chamber upstream of the nozzle-matrix and/or into the crossflow mixing zones. The nozzle-matrix is adapted to accept at least portions of the main upstream flows to generate several optimum velocity subflows therefrom to enhance fuel and dispersion, atomization, and vaporization into the air.
