  • Patent number: 4030313
    Abstract: An air conditioner for use in a vehicle having a gasoline engine with a fuel intake providing a source of reduced pressure. The air conditioner includes a gasoline vaporizer in which gasoline from the fuel system of the vehicle is vaporized and drawn through a heat exchanger for cooling purposes. There is a blower for blowing air across the heat exchanger to cool the air for circulation in the vehicle. The vaporized gasoline passes through a separator for separating excess gasoline from the mixture, and also passes through a proportioning device connected to the fuel intake of the engine for adjusting the fuel-to-air ratio at the fuel intake to optimize combustion and control pollution.
