  • System control strategy and methods for multi-physics fluid atomizing
    Patent number: 11231003
    Abstract: A method of controlling fuel delivery to an engine includes providing a fluid atomizer, a mechanically driven air compressor, a start up air source, and an air valve coupled between the mechanically driven air compressor and the start up air source, charging the start up air source, delivering compressed air from the start up air source to the fluid atomizer, providing an initial air/fluid mixture with the fluid atomizer, and operating the air valve to direct compressed air from the mechanically driven air compressor to the fluid atomizer.

  • System control strategy and methods for multi-physics fuel atomizer
    Patent number: 9206737
    Abstract: A method of controlling fuel delivery to an engine includes providing a fuel atomizer, a mechanically driven air compressor, a start up air source, and an air valve coupled between the mechanically driven air compressor and the start up air source, charging the start up air source, delivering compressed air from the start up air source to the fuel atomizer, starting the engine using an air/fuel mixture provided by the fuel atomizer, and operating the air valve to direct compressed air from the mechanically driven air compressor to the fuel atomizer after the engine starts.

  • DUAL SOLENOID DUAL ANGLE ENTRY MULTI-PHYSICS FUEL ATOMIZER
    Publication number: 20140299676
    Abstract: A metering system includes a housing, a gas metering member, and a fuel metering member. The housing includes a first cavity arranged at a first non-parallel angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the housing, and a second cavity arranged at a second non-parallel angle relative to the longitudinal axis. The gas metering member is positioned in the first cavity and configured to control flow of gas to the fuel atomizer. The fuel metering member is positioned in the second cavity and configured to control flow of fuel to the fuel atomizer.
