Abstract: An inexpensive light-weight diesel fuel warmer having high efficiency, being of small compass, and preventing fuel stagnation and contamination. The warmer is comprised of a cold-rolled steel fuel coil encircling a cast aluminum cylinder in spaced relation, both of which are encapsulated within a cast-aluminum capsule by means of which heat is effectively transferred from the coolant to the fuel.
Abstract: A temperature-controlling system for a fuel supply line characterized by a simple and inexpensive thermostatically controlled valve positioned within the flow, and sensitive to the temperature, of the fuel before it has been mixed with bypassed and heated fuel. The valve modulates the flow bypassed through a heat exchanger, which flow later joins the stream of fuel which has not been bypassed and heated.
